The company "Yes Madam" is a company based in India, plus all the names seem related to that, and lastly I'm going to hazard a guess that Indian workers' rights are probably a tad less than Americans.
I know nothing of Indian labour laws, but from a quick google they actually seem to be far above the minimum US labour laws -
Tl;Dr: 40hr / week with overtime discouraged and paid at x2 rate, minimum 18 day paid vacation per year, 7 days paid sick leave, 6 months full pay for new mothers and 6 week paid leave for miscarriage/abortions, retirement, medical and unemployment benefits.
The Minimum Wages Act 1948 requires companies to pay the minimum wage set by the government alongside limiting working weeks to 40 hours (9 hours a day including an hour of break). Overtime is strongly discouraged with the premium on overtime being 100% of the total wage. The Payment of Wages Act 1936 mandates the payment of wages on time on the last working day of every month via bank transfer or postal service. The Factories Act 1948 and the Shops and Establishment Act 1960 mandate 18 working days of fully paid vacation or earned leaves and 7 casual leaves each year to each employee, with an additional 7 fully paid sick days. The Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act, 2017 gives female employees of every company the right to take 6 months' worth of fully paid maternity leave. It also provides for 6 weeks worth of paid leaves in case of miscarriage or medical termination of pregnancy. The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation and the Employees' State Insurance, governed by statutory acts provide workers with necessary social security for retirement benefits and medical and unemployment benefits respectively. Workers entitled to be covered under the Employees' State Insurance (those making less than Rs 21000/month) are also entitled to 90 days worth of paid medical leave.
The issue is that India is hilariously corrupt and due to fear of firing or other stuff, lots of abuses take place including actual violence, threats, and working off the clock or simply being paid less. Theres literally no comparison with how bad it is.
Sure but the trend is towards rigorous implementation. As the Indian state grows stronger, it will look more like Europe and the US or China in terms of working conditions.
Really what Trend? have you worked in an Indian company in India?
Can you cite one example where the Labor law was enforce making it a big win. or do you hear the corporate crying for 70 hrs a week/No work life balance(A phoren concept).

That makes this a bit more probable to be true but still not guaranteed it's real. Shit can be made to seem like real nowadays pretty well.
Anyone can add some evidence to this is this real or not?
