Quark India had a policy of hiring only fresh graduates and paying them very little. After 6 months of training and 1 year of work, they would fire the whole lot and recruit fresh graduates again[0][1].
When this cycle was repeated every year[2], word got around that hundreds of well-trained but desperate Quark employees would hit the job market in March[3]. Other software companies would wait in anticipation and snap them up.
