Former Scangroup CEO Bharat Thakrar has threatened to sue the company's UK-based parent WPP for "neo-colonialist practices and discriminatory tactics" which he says were used to eject him from the corporation he founded in 2021.
According to a report by a section of UK-based media, Mr Thakrar says WPP discriminated against him and Scangroup’s finance chief Satya Das through a clear target at business executives who were of Indian extraction, an action that went against Kenyan laws that prohibit any kind of segregation.
