People who can't defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism. They literally do not ask "is this true", they ask "will others be OK with me thinking this is true". This makes them very malleable to brute force manufactured consensus; if every screen they look at says the same thing they will adopt that position because their brain interprets it as everyone in the tribe believing it. Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective "is this true?" filter.
Brutal but sad
The company could have their office in a less congested area. The company could've given work-from-home option. The employee could've rented home near to the office. The employee could've got a cab. All Indian problems are self inflicted. Why should every company have it's office in "Bellandur" and "Marathalli"? In a self-respecting civilization, a professional earning in top 5% of the population wouldn't even want to step into such slums.
In any case, the reluctance to do proper automation and testing stems from pure lack of knowledge of good practices and hubris. Because it's going to increase velocity compared to not doing it.
Just noting an observation. These are not outsourcing agencies but GCCs of American and European companies. They had complete option to automate things or fix security defects. They simply didn't know what they were doing was wrong.
I don't mean to imply all Indians are incompetent. There was significant contribution from India to computer science. It's just that the ratio of competent to incompetent people is low. This is on your education and hiring systems.
