As a young 20-something girl, I seek diverse opportunities in the corporate sector. So, this year, I did my one-month summer internship in Dubai after interning for four Indian companies remotely and on-site in India.

Different festivals are celebrated in India's offices — Diwali, Holi, and Onam, to name a few. Companies wholeheartedly participate in these festivals with games, outfits, and parties. CEO articles like this one acknowledge how celebrations help in employee retention.

With a toxic work environment, unpaid interns, and an overworking population, the Indian work culture needs serious intervention.

### note
This short article, presented as a personal account, contrasts the author's experience of Indian work culture with their internship experience in Dubai. 

The author highlights the positive aspects of Indian work culture, particularly the emphasis on celebrating cultural festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Onam in office settings. They acknowledge that this focus on culture can contribute to employee retention, citing CEO articles as evidence. 

However, the author's main argument seems to be that despite the positive aspects, Indian corporate work culture requires significant improvement, especially when compared to their Dubai experience. They suggest that while startups are moving towards a more culture-focused model, traditional corporations are lagging behind in terms of workplace values. 

The article is incomplete and does not delve into specific details about what aspects of workplace values are lacking in Indian corporations or how Dubai's work culture differs. The author's use of a paywall link in the middle of the article further disrupts the flow and leaves the reader with an unfinished perspective. 

Overall, the article provides a glimpse into the author's personal observations on Indian work culture, highlighting both its strengths and areas for improvement. However, the lack of concrete examples and incomplete nature of the article limits a deeper understanding of the topic.
