In 2009, a 24-year-old employee of Singapore-based software-as-a-service (Saas) customer engagement firm Capillary Technologies went on a holiday and didn t return. It was found that he had a break-up and had committed suicide. Two years on, a similar incident occurred in the company. He was 23, looked happy and was doing quite well in the organisation. In fact, we had moved him to Mumbai, says Aneesh Reddy, Co-founder and CEO. The firm is still not sure what happened in this case though. Generally we hire a batch of 5-10 freshers from campus, but no one from his cohort knew, adds Reddy.
