An Indian origin founder in the United States sparked online criticism after she praised an intern for working late into the night. The remarks, shared on X by Aiswarya Sankar, quickly drew reactions from users who felt the post glorified an unhealthy work culture.

Sankar posted a photograph of the intern along with the caption, “Be like our new intern refusing to leave past midnight to finish testing a customer ask that got dumped on him at 9 pm today. 9 9 6 is actually 9 12 6 for this guy.”
