From Hyderabad to Seattle
Anushka, who works as a Design Lead at Salesforce, has been based in Hyderabad for the last one year.
On Thursday, she shared a video where she opened up about Salesforce flying her to the US for a week-long offsite.
“Everyone is like, 'Ahn... maine corporate mein ghus ke kya hi ukhaad liya?' Well, Salesforce took me for an offsite to Seattle. I was staying in a 5-star property for 7 days, and this was the view,” she said, panning the camera around to show a picturesque view.

Anushka called it an example of how big tech companies take care of their employees as she encouraged her younger viewers to study hard and build good careers.
“Toh padh lo, because tech companies know how to pamper you!” said the Massachusetts College of Art and Design graduate.
Internet reacts
The video drew mixed reactions from viewers. While some objected to the “glorification” of “mazdoori” (labour), others agreed with Anushka.
“Totally relatable, my company takes me around the globe and it’s one true experience. Won’t say ‘Padh lo’ but go after what you want in life,” said one Instagram user in the comments section.
“Tbh Salesforce has one of the best work cultures and perks,” another said.
