We work at a software company with about 20 employees and 12 HD cameras monitoring the office. While we all strive to do our best work, the constant surveillance makes us feel uncomfortable and raises privacy concerns. Is this level of monitoring legal in India? Any advice on navigating this situation would be greatly appreciated.

In India, workplace surveillance is legal if it’s for a legitimate business purpose and employees are informed about the monitoring. However, the extent of monitoring should be reasonable and not intrusive. You can discuss your concerns with your employer, emphasizing the impact on morale and productivity. Consider exploring alternative solutions like reducing camera coverage or implementing a clear policy on data usage and retention.
