The Indian government is looking into Netflix’s business practices because of claims that the company violated visa rules and engaged in racial discrimination.
This was revealed in an email from an Indian government official to Nandini Mehta, who used to work for Netflix in India.
The email mentioned concerns about tax evasion and illegal activities related to Netflix’s operations.
Nandini Mehta, who is currently suing Netflix in the U.S. for wrongful termination and discrimination, supports the investigation and hopes the findings will be made public. Netflix, however, said it was unaware of any investigation.
With around 10 million users in India, Netflix sees the country as an important market and has invested in local content. However, the company has faced criticism for some of its shows, leading to changes like adding disclaimers for sensitive topics.
The investigation is part of a broader scrutiny by the Indian government on foreign companies. The exact details about which agencies are involved in Netflix’s case are not clear.
Meanwhile, Nandini Mehta’s lawsuit against Netflix continues, with a court hearing coming up soon. Overall, this situation highlights increasing attention on how Netflix operates in India.
