Indian-origin engineer Vaniya Agrawal publicly confronted Microsoft leaders Satya Nadella, Steve Ballmer, and Bill Gates, accusing the company of enabling Israel's military actions in Gaza. At the firm's 50th anniversary event, she shouted, “Shame on you all,” alleging Microsoft’s AI and cloud services aid in “genocide.” After being escorted out, she submitted a scathing resignation, effective April 11, stating Microsoft empowers oppressors. Her letter claimed Microsoft’s technology powers surveillance and lethal systems in Gaza. A second employee, Ibtihal Aboussad, also protested, calling AI head Mustafa Suleyman a “war profiteer.” Microsoft has not responded officially to the incident. (PC: India Today)
