He could be right or not, but I think that the man is very naive thinking that there is such thing as a "my rights" for being a whistleblower that the company "must protect". Is this right written in his contract? Some whistleblowers are right and valuable, other just attention grabbers or liars. Each case should be examined one by one before start burning down the company. The article explains really few about the content, and this is what really matters, not that somebody would self-tag as whistleblower (hence in possession of the absolute truth?). Employees of company "X" tagging publicly "X" as evil will crash easily against defamation laws, and the right to not being defamed is regulated by law, while free speech has some exceptions. By Pete's sake, If you think that you discovered a real crime go to the police or to a union, not to fakenewsland. Venting his frustration on internet instead is stupid.

In some countries, such as the U.K., whistleblowing for illegal activity is protected in law. Not too naive if this is the case.

  Both the company and the whistleblowing employee are both based in India.

  Yes, but is the government, not the company, whom must provide this protection. And after police and prosecutor enters in the scene. Not after somebody, lets say, badmouths his boss in twitter. With the limited data that we have, nothing seems to apply here. He seems to be knocking at all the wrong doors, and he should know better, as it seems that is the second company that let him go by the same behavior.
