Incredible, Meesho. You guys have set an example.”
An individual joined, “Meesho setting examples in this culture; it’s not all about money and setting breaking benchmarks. Sometimes it’s all about care and love for employees and families.” A fourth wrote, “Absolutely love this approach! A dedicated “Reset and Recharge” break shows just how much the company values mental and physical well-being. After such an intense period of hard work, especially pulling off something as significant as the Mega Blockbuster Sale, this time off is well-deserved. Completely unplugging from work—no emails, no Slack, no meetings—will definitely help everyone return with a clear mind, fresh ideas, and renewed motivation. Enjoy the downtime.”
