Remember the company Inbazar, whose owner condoned physical violence against his employees? Recently, there was an incident at this company where an employee was beaten for mishandling shopping carts. The management then attempted to cover up the scandal by gifting the worker a “Spark” car. Today, it was announced that the company had declared its voluntary liquidation. However, this does not mean that its operations will completely cease.
What happened?
The scandal surrounding Inbazar began with a video that circulated on social media, showing an employee being beaten for a minor mistake at work. This caused widespread outrage in the community, and the management’s encouragement of such violent methods only worsened the situation.
A few days after the incident, the company tried to make amends by giving the injured worker a “Spark” car. However, this gesture did not calm public opinion, and the pressure on the company continued to mount.
Voluntary liquidation
In light of public criticism and possible legal consequences, LLC “Inbazar” decided to voluntarily liquidate. According to the Uzbek Tax Committee, the company is currently not engaged in any business activities and is in the process of self-liquidation.
However, this does not mean that the Inbazar brand will cease to exist. In addition to LLC “Inbazar,” several other companies continue to operate under the same brand name, including:
- LLC “In Mag”
- LLC “Go Trend”
- LLC “KDS Sales”
According to official data, only 44 people are employed across these companies. Despite the closure of LLC “Inbazar,” other organizations connected to the brand are still in operation.
Tax audits and fines
According to the Tax Committee, complaints were received from customers via the Soliq mobile app, where clients reported sales violations. In 2024 alone, 17 on-site tax inspections were conducted at these stores, resulting in fines.
Why is this important?
This case highlights the importance of corporate responsibility and respectful treatment of employees. The scandal involving physical violence at Inbazar demonstrated how violations of workplace ethics can lead to the downfall of a business, even if there are attempts to cover up the issue. The liquidation of Inbazar does not mean the complete end of the brand’s operations, but the incident has left a significant stain on its reputation.
