Healthy Office Space

After two Vipassana courses last year, Aneesh Reddy, Co-founder and CEO of Singapore-based software-as-a-service (Saas) customer engagement firm Capillary Technologies, realised meditation’s powerful impact on him. The practice de-cluttered his mind and improved his ability to focus on the present and think clearly. “I am probably at my best in terms of inner peace and mental health,” says Reddy.

With stress and loneliness becoming an integral part of the Covid-19 world, Reddy wanted to promote the meditation technique within the organisation. As an experiment, in December 2020, Capillary announced an 11-day Vipassana leave. Anyone who intends to participate in a Vipassana course can avail an 11-day leave — over and above the mandated annual leave. “Annual leave get over during the yearly vacation. Anyone hardly takes off for themselves,” says Reddy.
