Since he and the others could not understand Hindi, one of the employees in the short clip asked the other to speak in English.
The man continued speaking to them in English, but quickly switched back to speaking in Hindi, which angered the others and led to a fight between them.
Additionally, one employee tried to calm the situation by offering to translate what the man said, and another asked her co-workers to avoid fighting over a “petty matter.”
Despite attempts to pacify them, the enraged workers stood their ground and began to voice their grievances in their native languages.

In my 16 years of IT career, I have never started a discussion about regional language during any team meeting, as we know that not everyone understands all the language, so keep it common. However, it surprises me when initiation comes for client leaders, no matter what state they are in…
