“As a primary caregiver to my parents, I take care of them when I get an extra day off. I have also learnt to ride a bullet and started taking trips; something that I always wanted to do,” says Janani Narasimhan, customer success director at Beroe Inc, one of the earliest Indian companies to successfully implement the four-day work week policy, even before the provision gained attention in the country.

“It’s a great feeling to have an extra day in a week as one can plan things and enjoy the weekend. Your morale is boosted and work-life balance is maintained. It also helps many people to pursue their hobbies in real time,” Janani adds.
