Hatsun Agro Products doesn’t pay minimum wages despite a turnover of Rs 5,500 crore and forces employees to resign. 

With a massive turnover of Rs 5,500 crore at the end of the 2021 fiscal, Hatsun Agro Products (HAP), the country’s largest private dairy products company, reported a massive 25% increase in net profit for the second quarter as against the same period in the previous year.

Around the time the company planned an additional Rs 450 crore investment to expand its manufacturer and distribution, a business biography titled Broke to Breakthrough was published in September, documenting HAP founder RG Chandramogan’s success story. He started off as a small-time ice cream seller and went on to build a business empire spanning five decades.

Amid the celebration of the founder’s success story and the massive investment, HAP’s 10,000 permanent and 22,000 contractual employees in Tamil Nadu alone have little to celebrate. They complain of forced resignations and transfers, underpayment and overwork, and inhuman treatment by superiors. Frustrated and angry, the employees of the Kolasanahalli plant, in Dharmapuri city, formed a trade union a few months ago to protest the ‘inhuman treatment’ and other problems.
