“The point was to make people aware… The world knows now who [Microsoft] truly are, and what they’re doing.”
As Microsoft celebrated its 50th anniversary with a panel featuring Bill Gates, one employee stood up and disrupted the event. Her message: Microsoft is complicit in Israel’s war on Gaza.
The young software engineer, Vaniya Agrawal, was then fired by Microsoft. Now, she’s speaking out.
In this Real Talk interview, Vaniya is opening up about why she risked her job to protest, what happened behind the scenes, and the harassment she’s received from Hindu nationalists.
