Hey r/india,
I need to vent about something that's been boiling my blood for years. This isn't just some rumor – it's the ugly underbelly of India's booming IT sector that's been going on for the last 25 years. Unemployed freshers from poor families, especially those who've just graduated from average IT colleges, are desperate for jobs. So desperate that they're selling off their family's ancestral land – sometimes for peanuts, other times shelling out more than what that land is even worth – just to buy fake "experience certificates" from shady agents.
Think about it: A kid from a rural background, family's only asset is a small plot of land passed down through generations. They sell it, borrow money, or go into debt to pay lakhs for a piece of paper saying they've got 2-3 years of "experience" in software development or whatever. Why? Because Indian IT giants (you know the names – TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and the rest) have this insane obsession with "experienced" hires, even for entry-level roles. Freshers without that fake cert? Straight to the rejection pile.
And here's the kicker: These companies KNOW about it. They've been turning a blind eye (or worse, quietly encouraging it) because it lets them hire "experienced" talent on the cheap. Once the employee is in with their fake cert, they're trapped. They can't speak up against toxic work cultures, unpaid overtime, or shady practices because one whistleblow and their fraud gets exposed. Boom – job gone, blacklisted forever.
This isn't empowerment; it's exploitation. We're talking about families losing their livelihoods so some corp can pad their profits. How many dreams have been crushed? How many villages hollowed out? And for what? A 3-4 LPA job where you're treated like a cog?
We need to talk about this. Regulate these certificate mills, force companies to hire based on skills not fake papers, and maybe even amnesty for those already in the system. Who's with me? Share your stories below – anonymity if needed. Let's make this blow up and force some change.
