In a viral job post on LinkedIn that has caused umbrage online, ITCODE Infotech, while looking to fill the position of a Graphic Designer has categorically shunned any Marathi-speaking candidates from making any submission for the post. This is blatantly against values prescribed by the Indian Constitution.

Apart from X, formerly Twitter, Neitizens on other platforms, including Reddit, expressed their aghast and disappointment in the problematic nature of the post. Some of them even invoked instances of discrimination on other counts in other instances, including house renting.
One Reddit user even said, that such companies should not be allowed to function in the state of Maharashtra. It also became a platform for many Reddit users to point out growing discrimination, that happens on basis Religion and Caste, and how it affects the rectitude of the workforce at large.
ITCODE Infotech according to available information, is headed by Balakrushn Koladiya, a Surat-based professional.
