Indian-Origin Engineer Found Dead at Microsoft’s Mountain View Office, Delayed Response Raises Concerns
Tragedy struck on August 20 when 35-year-old Pratik Pandey, an Indian-origin software engineer, was found dead at Microsoft’s Mountain View campus. He had badged into the office late the previous evening but was not discovered until the following morning.
Reports allege that Microsoft waited over 40 hours before notifying authorities, prompting questions about the company’s handling of the incident. While Santa Clara police confirmed no signs of foul play and stated the case is not being treated as a criminal investigation, the official cause of death is still pending from the Santa Clara County medical examiner.
Family members and the wider tech community have expressed grief, while also pressing for greater transparency and acknowledgment from Microsoft over the circumstances surrounding Pandey’s death.
