I'm a very senior person (20+ years) industry experience in India in companies like Msft, Goog etc.
In all these kinds of Multinational companies and even more so in startups (new or old) never see any 'caste' aspect being played out.
If it is there it may be happening in more bottom of the rung companies where meritocracy is not really thing during hiring and then when planning for growth of the employees. In these places one would also typically see 'company veterans' who have minimal tech skills but hold power positions.
Also, the article is not factually correct - being non-vegetarian does not indicate that one is from lower caste. Infact in eastern part of India people from 'higher caste' eat meat and fish.
