NANDAN KUMAR (name changed) joined Meesho in 2022. Within seven days, he was diagnosed with a severe illness. The company put Kumar on paid leave for four months during which he underwent treatment, got cured and resumed work. “We could support him thanks to our infinite leave policy. He is now hale and hearty and works as an important team member of the HR charter,” says Ashish Kumar Singh, chief HR officer, Meesho.

Employee well-being, an important milestone for employers of the future, has been at the centre of Meesho’s strategy since its launch in 2015. “I have seen organisations talk about being people-centric, but end up being money-centric and fuss over employee productivity. Founders at Meesho are aligned to being an employee-centric organisation, which makes my job to experiment with such policies easier,” says Singh.
