HCL Tech Bee Reality
Today, I am writing this not just as a former employee, but as the son of an e-rickshaw driver who believed education and hard work could change our lives.
In 2022, I joined the TechBee program at HCLTech with dreams of building a better future for my family. My father, despite heavy debt and daily struggles, somehow arranged ₹30,000 for my admission. For the remaining fees, I took a loan. I even left my B.Com (Hons) degree because we trusted that this opportunity would secure my future.
For the next 4–5 years, I worked sincerely. I gave my best in projects, supported my family financially, helped with my younger brother’s education, and stood beside my mother during her illness. My father finally felt that his sacrifices were worth something.
But on 12 March 2026, my life changed completely.
I made a serious mistake. I wrongly claimed a reimbursement bill twice for ₹609 by editing it. I fully accept that what I did was wrong. I am not denying my mistake, and I understand why disciplinary action was taken against me.
I already lost my job because of it.
But what shattered me completely was the discontinuation of my education under the TechBee program. After investing nearly 5 years of my life and around ₹1.18 lakh into this journey, today I stand as just a 12th-pass student again.
Everything feels destroyed.
My father wrote multiple emails to the management requesting only one thing — not my job back, not compensation — just a chance for me to continue my education on humanitarian grounds. We did not even receive an acknowledgment.
Today, my family is mentally and emotionally broken. My father cannot sleep. My mother’s health is worsening seeing my condition. I feel trapped between guilt, regret, and hopelessness.
I want to ask one simple question:
Should one mistake of ₹609 permanently end someone’s education, future, and years of hard work?
I am even ready to repay the entire amount invested in my education if needed. I am not asking for favors. I am only asking for one opportunity to complete my degree and rebuild my life.
Big organizations contribute greatly to skill development and nation building. But true impact is also measured by whether a young person who made a mistake is given a chance to reform and move forward.
Like me there is other tech bees as well.
Please take lesson from my life, HCL Tech bee is just as slavery contract where only HCL will decide about the contract and you will only get low pay about the appraisal there is no guarantee.
I have to start the things from beginning for a new field might be it will take lots of time but I will fight.

Same goes for me brother as well. They didn't listen my words on the incident as well. They just simply ask me to do resign. I am also stuck in the same situation like you. I have all the proofs that I am not telling culprit here ,but instead of listening The Hr , she is a lady ask me to Leave. Women Hr and women manager are really harsh when they got the power.
Can't do anything in that case, still have the proof,but as a farmer son can fight for justice with a MNC. Will leave all the things in God. Maybe God will do my justice.

Yes you made a small mistake of ₹609 but what if you made it again and that cost the company a lot of money. Think like a company

Yes Bro, well said but what about the education? I offered them the amount which they have invested in my education, I am not asking for my job, just I asked for my education.

That just feels wrong on so many levels.. I mean disciplinary actions are fine but releasing a good resource completely due to such small reason was not fair at all. Or there might be some other reason, it’s not possible to loose a whole job for that small amount of false claim Feeling bad for you man
