What should a girl facing sexual harassment at work do? 

Protest! Complain!

That’s what Diya, a single, 29-year-old, Mumbai-based corporate executive, does. But within days, she’s thrown out of her job. Notion Press, India’s leading self-publishing platform presents, Not A Perk by Raj Bhatia, a story that will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions and trials and tribulations of gender issues at work.

For a smart, independent girl, inbred with values of integrity and hard work, sexual harassment at workplace breaks her down. She cuts herself off from everyone, keeping the pain and anguish to herself until she bumps into an old acquaintance, Sam, who changes everything for her. He supports her, nudges her to fight back, and most importantly, encourages her to take the righteous path.

But the path is thornier than she’d imagined. She realizes she could be putting to risk not just her career but her identity and relationships as well. She’s no longer sure – to proceed any further, or just let go? 

Can Diya survive the corporate powers she is pitted against? Will she fight for her dignity or leave it to fate? 

Set across Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi, Not A Perk is an extraordinary story of romance and courage that will take you through the lives of the millennial generation, exploring and highlighting their lifestyle, aspirations and conflicts.
