A girl called Anna: ‘She gave her all to this career, even her life’
Before her death sparked off discussions on overwork and “toxic” workplaces, she was just another 26-year-old who took pottery classes with her best friend, played badminton, did kayaking, painted and loved her dog Scotch. The story of Anna Sebastian Perayil.
Across the St George Jacobite Church in Kangarappady, a quiet suburb in Kochi, stands a two-storey house. A beautiful lawn leads to the porch, where the main entrance is flanked by a swing on the left and a kennel for Scotch, the labrador, on the right.
Of late, the house has been teeming with visitors — among others, a team from British multinational Ernst & Young (EY) India — seeking to offer their condolences to Sibi Joseph and his wife Anita Augustine, both 60.
