Tech Company Lures Interns With Rs 35 Lakh Package, Then Blames AI And Ghosts Them All

A group of 90 interns who were promised lucrative full-time positions at a technology company have reportedly been ghosted following the conclusion of their program. Despite being initially lured by recruitment packages worth Rs 35 lakh, the candidates received mass rejection notices instead of employment contracts.

According to reports, the firm cited the rising influence of artificial intelligence as a primary factor for the shift in strategy. The company allegedly informed the interns that AI tools had streamlined internal processes, reducing the immediate requirement for entry-level human personnel.

The incident has sparked significant debate regarding corporate ethics and the job security of new graduates entering the tech sector. Many of the affected individuals claim they declined other opportunities based on the initial high-value offers provided by the company. Source: Social Media and Independent Press Reports.
