A 28-year-old software engineer from Chennai tragically ended his life on September 22, 2024, amid what is believed to be intense work pressure. The techie, identified as S. Ravi, had been working for a prominent IT company and was reportedly undergoing treatment for depression. According to the police, Ravi had been struggling with mental health issues for some time and had confided in close friends about feeling overwhelmed by the demands of his job.
The rising pressure in India’s tech industry, known for its long working hours and high expectations, has raised concerns about mental health support for employees. Friends and family described Ravi as a dedicated professional who worked tirelessly but felt the burden of constantly meeting deadlines. His death has once again highlighted the lack of adequate mental health resources within the workplace, particularly in high-stress industries like tech.
Local authorities are investigating the case further but believe that work stress and untreated mental health issues may have contributed significantly to Ravi’s decision. His death has sparked discussions online about the need for companies to prioritize mental well-being and ensure that employees are not pushed beyond their limits.
