In an attempt to promote the mental health of employees Meesho had earlier also made many announcements including a "boundaryless" workplace model, infinite wellness leave, 30-week gender-neutral parental leave, and 30-day gender reassignment leave.
In February this year, the e-commerce platform allowed its 1,700-strong workforce to work from home, office, or anywhere they want to.
"We have studied multiple future work models to arrive at this novel boundaryless approach. In the future, this will also give talent across the globe an opportunity to build for Bharat with Meesho," Meesho Chief Human Resources Officer Ashish Kumar Singh had then said.
Meesho was founded in 2015 by Aatrey and Sanjeev Barnwal, both IIT Delhi graduates. The company connects producers to resellers, who market the products to consumers through social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook.
