With Reset and Recharge, we continue to push the boundaries and redefine conventional workplace norms,” said Ashish Kumar Singh, Director of Human Resources, Meesho. “Employees can choose to relax however they want, whether it’s spending time with loved ones, traveling or picking up a new hobby. Such progressive policies have helped increase our focus on employees and industry-leading retention rates.”
