Wells Fargo is a California-based multinational company that has its offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru. Shankar Mishra used to work with the company as the vice-president of its India chapter.

Wells Fargo, while sacking him, said the company expects its employees to hold the highest standards of professional and personal behaviour. He said the allegations against Mishra were deeply disturbing. The company also said it was cooperating with the law enforcement agencies.
