Truecaller CEO offers job to student in Canada trolled for ‘dream to leave India’ comment
Aug 4, 2023 7:58 AM

An Indian student living in Canada has been targeted by trolls for a viral video where she was seen expressing that it was her “dream” to leave her country. The woman’s comment faced a lot of criticism, but Truecaller co-founder and CEO, Alan Mamedi, showed his support for the woman and also offered a job in his company.

The video showed a casual interview where the student, Ekta, introduced herself and responded to the queries regarding her decision to come to Canada for studies.

Later, Ekta discussed her plans for the future after the completion of her biotech degree. She mentioned that she would like to have a business career later on. The woman added that she appreciated the landscapes, sunrise and sunsets in Canada the most.

The interview led to massive backlash for Ekta’s remarks that it was her dream to leave her homeland.

Truecaller boss Alan Mamedi, came to Ekta’s aid and offered her a job in his company. In a post on X (earlier Twitter), Mamedi said, “People really want to misunderstand her to make fun of her. This is not OK!! Ekta, don't listen to all these clowns making fun of you. I think you're cool and living the dream! When you're done with school, you're welcome to work at Truecaller in any of our offices around the world.”
