Micromanagement and trust issues
I worked for almost 8 years in Accenture. In all the projects I have good feedback and impressions. I have joined a new project. Where I logged off 1 hr early in 1 day. He is saying like I was off for half a day and from then onwards whenever I took a 20 to 25 mins break. He is monitoring like what I did for 25 mins am I sleeping or doing some other job. Day to day it is difficult to work under him due to micro monitoring and lack of trust.
Could you please suggest what I can do in these kind of situation. I lost trust in manager and he don't have confidence in me .

dont be victim be the culprit if he is micromanaging you, you start micro disturbing him ping him after every 30-45 min and pull him into a call directly when ever he is away or just come online
in call ask him some complicated thing which he doesnt understands
then you ping him if he has any update
and do this for 2 weeks, he will be afraid to call you
simultaneously prepare for switch before next cycle in nobember, most probably he will anyway give you nothing in hike and leave project
People usually start Mico managing when they feel u r doing less work, or u r taking more time for work without any status update. Make sure u don't fall in these 2 categories
Tbh I've seen people who don't fall into these two categories and are still getting micromanaged.
But regardless of reasons I've never seen micromanagement making the situation any better
Manager is not taking daily status. I can do one thing I will add him in work related emails or tell whoever assigns me from functional or onshore I will tell them to add him in email.so that he will have status
In HCL in my current project there is a lady. She is so toxic that even plutonium radiation fails in front of her. We work from morning 8 till 11 in the night and the requirements from management is that we have to be in Zoom breakout rooms for all of these hours. If you are not in this breakout room they will tell you have not worked, even if you have completed all assigned tasks. That project is so toxic that one senior architect was in this company for 20 years and after joining this project he has put down the paper.

If you want peace better look for opportunities

Revenge! Go behind him ask for doubts, in same way keep disturbing him now and then. What I believe from my perspective is that when company doesn't have much work or the project doesn't have much work to distribute across they micro-manage as they also have to report something to the management.
Looks like he is preparing you to work for Makemytrip.com
Micro marketing. Nice.
You have good 8 years experience in same company search for other jobs brother we have many jobs outside don’t live in toxic culture and it will impact your health concern’s
Congratulations, u've gotten urself the typical"Insecure desi manager " . Irrespective, he has no right to be insulting and if lines are Crossed then you should give back or escalate to HR.
Trust once gone is extremely difficult to build because it is a two sided effort and not only from one. Having such conversation with your manager to build trust again is up to you, else know that for this reason people change jobs. It is hard to rebuild a broken trust.
Kick his project and find another one. And clearly mention why you want to leave that project
