This ‘Reset and Recharge’ initiative of the company will allow the employees to completely unplug from work and put their mental well-being on priority.
This initiative is for the second year in a row.
The company said in a statement the 11-day break is a reflection of the company’s continued commitment towards building a people-centric workplace, one that truly looks after its employees.

Meesho says the ‘Reset and Recharge’ initiative will ‘show the way for other companies to adopt similar ‘employee-first practices’.
Ashish Kumar Singh, Chief Human Resources Officer of the company, said “With Reset and Recharge, we continue to push the envelope and redefine conventional workplace norms. Employees can choose to decompress however they want – whether it’s spending time with near and dear ones, traveling or picking up a new hobby. Such progressive policies have helped augment our employee centricity and industry-leading retention rates.”
Vidit Aatrey, the founder and CEO of Meesho, tweeted, “Even astronauts need breaks. So do folks working on moonshot missions at @Meesho_Official. For the 2nd year in a row, Meeshoites will unplug for 11 days to Reset & Recharge after the festive season. Work is important, well-being is priceless.”
