This has drawn mixed reactions from the viewers.

The video features the entire team shaking a leg to the Telugu song Killi Killi. There was also one enthusiastic employee who put up a solo performance on the Bollywood track Main Tera Boyfriend as the guest watches on.

While some praised the gesture as a display of enthusiasm and hospitality, others labelled it as ‘cringe’ and ‘embarrassing’.

The video was originally shared by a user on Reddit with the title: “India should stop chaprification of corporate offices. Such showcasing will only make other countries feel Indian offices are casual and not worthy of serious work."
