Former Netflix legal director in India settles US wrongful termination lawsuit
Oct 28, 2025 3:11 PM

Oct 28 (Reuters) - A former senior lawyer for Netflix ( NFLX )

in India has settled her lawsuit in the United States

that accused the streaming video giant of gender discrimination

and wrongful termination, court filings show.

Netflix ( NFLX ) and lawyers for Nandini Mehta, formerly the company's

director of business and legal affairs in India, disclosed the

settlement in an Oct. 24 filing in the case in Los Angeles

County Superior Court.

The terms of the accord were not disclosed in the court

filing. A lawyer for Mehta declined to comment other than to

confirm that the lawsuit, filed in 2021, had been resolved.

Netflix ( NFLX ) and its lawyers did not immediately respond to requests

for comment.

Mehta joined Netflix Entertainment Services India LLP in early

2018, according to the lawsuit, which said she helped to

negotiate and close regional content deals and to strengthen

ties to the Indian creative community.

Mehta claimed she experienced "blatant discrimination and

harassment" during her time at the company. She was terminated

in 2020 after making what she described in her lawsuit as

whistleblower complaints.

Netflix ( NFLX ) denied the allegations in court filings and said

Mehta was fired for allegedly using a corporate card for

personal expenses.

Mehta's lawsuit called the assertion that she was fired over

non-business expenses "materially false and contrary to

documentary evidence."

The case is Mehta v. Netflix Inc ( NFLX ), Los Angeles Superior

Court, No. 21STC25741.

For Mehta: Roxanne Davis and Frank Hakim of Davis*Gavsie & Hakim

For Netflix ( NFLX ): Katherine Smith of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher
