US jury finds Cognizant guilty of discriminatory practices against non-Indian workers, orders payment of damages.

A US jury found Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. guilty of discriminatory practices against non-Indian workers, ordering the company to pay punitive damages to affected employees. This ruling followed a failed attempt by Cognizant to dismiss a 2017 class-action lawsuit initiated by three Caucasian employees who alleged favoritism toward South Asians. Cognizant plans to appeal, asserting its commitment to equal employment opportunities and compliance with visa laws.
