Registered office: Exotel Techcom Pvt. Ltd., Workshaala Argus, 2nd floor, 82-1-838/1, 100 Feet Rd, Binnamangala, Stage 1, Bengaluru - 560038, Karnataka (India) | Tel: +91 80889 19888 | Email: [email protected] Web: www.exotel.com | CIN - U72900KA2011PTC059065 VII. Harassment Free Workplace Harassment means and includes the following: Making derogatory remarks pertaining to gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, belief or any difference. Excluding/boycotting a person from office related social activities or teamwork without just cause. Being insensitive to the sentiments and cultural milieu at the workplace. Sexual harassment: It is governed by the provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013, please refer to the “Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace Policy” available on the Company’s HR portal (FlexiEle) for detailed information. The Company is strongly committed to ensuring a safe and harassment-free workplace and has a zero- tolerance for any and all such acts of harassment (real or threatened). A harmonious atmosphere is necessary for every individual to be productive at work, based on mutual respect and dignity, which is the objective each employee should strive for along with their day-to-day duties and responsibilities. Repercussions for harassment are severe and are likely to lead to immediate termination besides undertaking applicable legal action. The consequences of the same may be penal in nature, if suitable legal action is initiated. All employees of the Company have a personal responsibility to ensure that their behaviour is in accordance to this policy. All employees are expected to maintain a work environment free from any kind of harassment and reinforce the values of inclusion and respect for all. VIII. Conflict of Interest 1. What is Conflict of Interest: When the interests or benefits of an employee conflict with the interests or benefits of the Company, a conflict of interest is said to occur. Conflict of interest can arise when personal relationships or financial interests overlap with job responsibilities. Please find below a few examples of conflict of interests: Influencing Exotel business transactions, whether directly or indirectly, to improperly benefit your friends or relatives for profitable gains, especially when in a leadership role. Accepting gifts*, entertainment, and other business courtesies in lieu of offering business opportunities at Exotel Serving as a board member of another company without prior approval^. Interfering in the company hiring process which results in hiring of relatives over other qualified candidates, also referred to as “Nepotism”: * Exotel employees can accept gifts up to worth INR 2000 from Vendors etc. (to be disclosed to Reporting manager) Above INR 2000, not allowed to accept the gifts but will still need to disclose the name of vendor/person offering gift to COC by dropping an email on [email protected] Registered office: Exotel Techcom Pvt. Ltd., Workshaala Argus, 2nd floor, 82-1-838/1, 100 Feet Rd, Binnamangala, Stage 1, Bengaluru - 560038, Karnataka (India) | Tel: +91 80889 19888 | Email: [email protected] Web: www.exotel.com | CIN - U72900KA2011PTC059065 a. Nepotism/Employment of Relatives**: Members of an employee's immediate family will be considered for employment on the basis of their qualifications. Employment of relatives will be permitted; however, they may not be placed: within the same department if in supervisory or management positions in a direct or indirect reporting relationship as the head of a division which has operational control, financial control, or supervisory or managerial authority of the business unit or department in which the Team Member’s spouse, relative, or domestic partner is employed in a position where a relative checks, audits or authorizes the other party’s work or in a position where a relative may have the ability to influence, or appear to influence, the employment, development, compensation or working conditions of the other. b. In case the new employee will work in a different department than the current employee and it is clear that neither person will be in the direct line of supervision of each other, the hiring may take place. Existing Employee will not participate or influence hiring process for his/her relatives in any way. All relatives of current employees who apply to the Company must disclose names of relatives employed at time of application. c. Romantic relationships between co-workers can create a conflict of interest, especially if there is power differential between two parties: Consensual Relationships at Workplace: Company does not encourage consensual relationships at the workplace that may have an adverse impact or create conflicting circumstances with the company’s business. All employees should be aware of the possibility that an apparent consensual relationship with another employee may be interpreted either now, or at a later date, as non- consensual and, therefore, lead to charges of sexual harassment. This is true regardless of the level, department, function, or gender of the employees romantically involved. In addition, employee-manager romantic relationships can create a potential conflict of interest and possibly compromise the ability of the manager to fairly evaluate the skills and performance of that employee and others. Please note Exotel has zero tolerance for Hierarchical Romantic Relationships. In situations where employees become romantically involved with one another and one of the employees becomes, or currently is, the manager of the other, the onus is on the manager to make HR aware of possible conflict of interest as soon as possible. HR on its part will try to assign either the manager or the employee (involved in the relationship) to a different role which is not directly connected to the manager. If a suitable role is not available/not acceptable to the involved parties, then HR at its discretion may ask one or both of them to leave the organization. Applicable notice will be given to the employee(s) who have been asked to leave. We have given few common situations where conflict of interests arises often; coming up with examples of all the possible situations is not logically possible. The general rule of thumb is if you are thinking of entering into a business situation or a personal relationship which may create a conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict of interest, then don’t get involved. If in doubt, please review the situation with your line manager or senior HR representative. Any information shared with Human Resource representatives will be treated with strict confidentiality. Non-disclosure of conflict may lead to disciplinary action including termination. **For more Details on hiring of Immediate family members/Relatives / Spouse please refer to Annexure C Registered office: Exotel Techcom Pvt. Ltd., Workshaala Argus, 2nd floor, 82-1-838/1, 100 Feet Rd, Binnamangala, Stage 1, Bengaluru - 560038, Karnataka (India) | Tel: +91 80889 19888 | Email: [email protected] Web: www.exotel.com | CIN - U72900KA2011PTC059065 IX. Confidentiality & Non-Solicitation Apart from the conduct which has been outlined under various headings above; an employee is expected to uphold all the conditions mentioned in the Appointment letter/Service Agreement which they have signed at the time of joining the company. Employee is also asked to sign a Confidentiality & Non-Solicitation Agreement at the start of the employment. This agreement confirms that employee will not disclose any information from Company, Company's members, or organizations for which Company does work. Failure to abide by this confidentiality agreement is a serious offence and could result in disciplinary action. All information concerning the Company's business including customer data that is not available to the general public is confidential. Employee is therefore obliged, during and after their employment, to maintain the confidentiality of information or records proprietary to the Company, its member companies and customers and use such information only for the purpose of effectively discharging his/her duties. We encourage you not to record any calls or meetings without the consent of your colleagues. Prior consent be obtained from customers before any calls or meetings are recorded. This is an important step in ensuring that all parties involved are aware of the recording and have the opportunity to consent. Clean desk and clear screen policy: At the end of each working day, employees are expected to put aside all papers, files, stationery etc. so as to keep the workstations clean. Employees must always ensure, when not at the workstations, that their computer screens are locked, to avoid any untoward incidents with respect to confidential information. Make sure that all employee-related/customer-related, or other potentially sensitive documents are locked in desks or file cabinets and all confidential and proprietary information is returned upon termination of employment. For more information on Confidentiality & Non-Solicitation, please refer to the Agreement which you signed at the time of joining. Please note that your Salary/Increment details are strictly confidential information and if you are found to be discussing it with other employees or seek information about salaries of other employees, it will be treated as breach of confidentiality and may lead to appropriate disciplinary action. X. IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) The ownership of all “Software Developmental” work and documentation created by the employee during the course of employment with Exotel shall from the moment of its creation, vest in the company. The employee acknowledges and agrees that all of the company/ its customer’s confidential information, sensitive data and work product developed as a result of the employee’s engagement by the company/ its customer, including, in each case, any derivative works thereof will remain, the property of the company/ its customer as applicable. Any violation or breach of the terms of IPR rights of the company/its customers or infringement of their IPR rights otherwise shall be considered a material breach of terms of employment and the company is entitled to take strict action against employee and claim damages, costs and expenses of rectifying such breach including criminal action and termination of employment contract.

One of the company vendors always sends fruit basket or sweets during Diwali, can I accept it? Ans. Fruit basket or Sweets are limited value items which the vendor is sharing occasionally so it is ok to accept it. Our suggestion will be to open it and share it with team members. At any point if you feel a vendor is continuously sending you gifts or the value of gift is above 2000, you are expected to say a firm no to the Vendor and also highlight this behaviour by dropping an email to [email protected]. Q2. My spouse is starting an online gifts delivery company. To fulfill regulatory requirements, I need to be appointed as a director and I will also have a majority share in the company. Is it Ok for me to accept this role? Ans: As per your information, your spouse is starting a business which does not compete with Exotel directly, so it is OK to be part of their company in the role of Director but you will have to disclose this information to HR along with DIN#. Good Luck to your spouse on their new venture. Q3. I want to refer my girlfriend to a position which has recently opened up in my department. Do I need to disclose this to HR? Ans: If you both are going to work in employee-manager relationship or you are in a position which directly audits/appraises or impacts her work or vice versa, it is imperative that you disclose this relationship to HR. For more details please refer to consensual relationships at workplace. As a guideline, you both are expected to be mature enough to keep your relationship within the workplace completely professional. Q4. While having coffee with my co-worker, she asked about my salary and now I have realized that she is earning less than me even though we are on the same level and performing similar duties. She is planning to reach out to my manager to discuss the same. What should I do? Ans: Compensation information is strictly confidential and classified. You must not disclose your salary details to anyone at the workplace nor ask others to disclose their salary information. In the above situation, both you and your co-worker have breached confidentiality, and both of you shall face disciplinary action. Registered office: Exotel Techcom Pvt.
