A video circulating on X, formerly Twitter, shows two Biocon Biologics boards being smeared with black paint in protest against the company’s executive chairperson, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw’s stance on the new Karnataka reservation bill. The bill mandates reservation for local Kannadigas in managerial and non-managerial roles in corporates, a move that has sparked controversy. Shaw expressed concerns about the bill impacting Karnataka’s position as a tech hub by potentially hindering the recruitment of skilled talent.
