Sacked worker threatens Technopark CEO By Pulkit Sharma
Technopark is among the most important tech hubs in India. Spread over 300 acres, it has more than 17000 tech and associated workers. The Kerala tech industry is one of the great success stories of India. Techgoss had learnt that an employee of an IT Company in Technopark who was asked to resign following integrity issues has threatened the Technopark CEO.
Mr. X* was working as a Business Consultant of a small firm in Technopark Campus, Trivandrum, which is into Software Testing and Quality Assurance work. Mr. X* had used his official mail id to send mails to the HR of about 150 companies in Technopark on the pretext of taking some group insurance and medical benefits. His plan was to make some kind of an association of all employees of Small and Medium Technopark companies in Technopark. On complaints from several companies, the CEO and other senior officials of Technopark and his company, had meetings with him where he was told to stop these activities. The company also threatened action against him for misusing the official mail id. Later, Mr. X put in his papers.
Now Mr. X has sent a mail to the Technopark CEO and other officials in which he threatens to expose the CEO. Techgoss has a copy of the email. (Unedited)

The old saying "you get what you pay for"
Now that I am on my way out of xxxx I would like to know how you are going to put pressure over me. When xxxx asked me to call off my plan to form an organisation for both the employer and employees in small and medium companies in Technopark, I refused it immediately without a second thought. Xxxx asked me to send a mail to you informing you of my willingness to call off my initiative. At that point, I realised the fact, that it was you who played from behind the curtain. Xxxx tried their best to put pressure over me but I got the better of them by moving my resignation. Your plan to isolate me by inserting pressure on Xxxx is now foiled. This one is a clear example on how you take care of small companies and their employees in Technopark.
I am not a technical staff in Xxxx but a business consultant. They need me more than I need them. The financial crisis that is looming over the IT industry has already started to take their share from Xxxx. So far, Xxxx is the major causality. I work as business consultant for few companies in and outside Technopark. I will continue my work from there. I am interested to see how you are going to put pressure on those companies.
My only intention was to avail corporate group medical insurance for all those people who were kept away from such a facility. However, having a selfish and egoistic mind you did not find the positive aspect in it.
On Thursday CEO of Technopark conveyed to me that he is sitting there to take care of the welfare of medium and small companies and their employees in Technopark. Now I realise that it was a fake and insincere comment. What else I can expect from bureaucrats like you?
You do not know how much information I carry on the wrongdoing of you people and you do not know to what extend I will go to fight against injustice. Legislature, executive, judiciary and media, the four pillars of democracy are available in our country for the public to fight against illness of the society. Technopark is not a private organisation; it belongs to the government i.e. public. If you people think that you can go ahead at your own will then you are wrong.
You may please move forward with your influence, power and cheap bureaucratic tricks. I will move forward with whatever I have let us make out who is going to gain and who is going to loss. I think we will begin our confrontation with media and judiciary. Let us see how we score. This is a confrontation between you and the entire 'minnows' of IT community. I am receiving lot of support from several companies from, in and outside Technopark. I requested moral and financial support from these companies and they accepted it straight away. Now I recognize how much you people are hated by the IT community. With the support of companies and individuals, I will fight for justice.
There is a long list with me. Your role in my resignation, the unlawful activities in Technopark office etc. I will approach all the four pillars of the constitution to make an enquiry on my resignation and the unlawful activities by Technopark authorities.
JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL
