Cure.fit Launches Gender-Neutral Parental Leave Program Across India

* Male, female, and non-binary parents to get 6 months of paid leaves

Cure.fit, India’s leading health, and fitness organization announced the launch of its gender-neutral parental leave program for employees. This is an update on the existing maternity and paternity policy of 6 months and would further expand the program to cover non-binary parents.

With this launch, employees who are opting for parenthood through natural birth, surrogacy, or adoption will be eligible to avail of the parental break, regardless of their gender.

The Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act 2017 prescribes a maternity break of 26 weeks.  If a woman adopts a child under the age of 3 months, then she is eligible for a leave of 12 weeks. Central government employees can avail of paternity leaves for up to 15 days, but no formal policy is in place for employees in the private sector. The leave program from Cure.fit strikingly differs in terms of equalizing the benefits for all parents. This break is a paid leave of 6 months and is followed up with flexible working models for those who’d like to opt for a longer break.

There are monthly check-ins by the team and project members, should the employee choose to get updates on their projects. This is designed to provide an option for the employee to be engaged with the organization during the break and smoothen the learning curve on their return. Once the employee is back, they can choose to continue the previous project that they were working on or be mapped to new projects. The program also addresses the commonly quoted pain point of decelerated careers during parental breaks, by not altering the employee appraisal cycles.

Ankit Gupta, Head of Product & Engineering at the organization said, “One of the core values at Cure.fit is ‘doing the right thing’. In an era, where we’re collectively on a journey to remove labels and enable all individuals to discover their best selves and be better every day, this program organically seemed like the right thing to do. The program empowers our employees to design a life best suited to their aspirations and eliminates bias”.

With A 4x Growth Momentum And Profitability, Amber Targets $1B In Gross Bookings Value By 2023

Amber, the leading global student housing platform, executed 1000% growth in team size and operations, securing the leading spot in the market with a gross booking value of $600M by 2022. 

More than 232 million students worldwide are looking for accommodation near their schools and universities. However, far fewer students find housing well within budget and matching their requirements. 

“If finding a place to stay can be so difficult and expensive in a city like Mumbai, imagine the struggle students must face finding one across borders,” said Saurabh Goel, IIT KGP alumni, Founder and CEO of amber. “Our friends’ struggling with student accommodation were the real eye-openers to a growing problem in the student housing market.”

Thus, two IIT KGP graduates, former batchmates and now co-founders, Saurabh Goel and Madhur Gujar launched amber in 2016. Born out of Google forms and Facebook groups, amber quickly grew as one of the world’s largest leading student accommodation platforms. 

In only six years, the company revamped the student rental space, grew into a 400-member team, made $600 million in gross booking value with 40% net margin, and carved a large presence in the global real estate market. Showing no signs of slowing down, the team tripled gross booking values even during the pandemic.

“There is no one man or one brain behind this success,” beamed Madhur Gujar, cofounder and Chief Business Officer. “The strategy is very simple - you have to have a great team with a vision for growth. So we decided to onboard the best minds in the country, built a solid team, and pushed through any hurdles the market threw at us. The last couple of years were especially tough for the industry, but we made it through simply because of the resilience and focus our team brought to the table.” 

Keeping with the momentum of growth and expansion, the team wants to scale to 100,000 bookings with a gross value of $1 billion by 2023. As a disruptor of the student rental landscape, it would be interesting to see how things evolve.

View Badal De” Polycab India’s Latest Digital Film Promoting 3-In-1 LED Panel Light

Lighting has a profound impact on our lives, especially our moods and with modern day LED lighting, we can use the power of color to create a sense of warmth, vibrance, and creativity. Based on these insights, India’s leading electrical goods company, Polycab India Limited (PIL) has unveiled a digital campaign “View Badal De” showcasing its 3-in-1 LED Panel Light.

The launch of the latest campaign revolving around its LED lighting offerings, further aligns with Polycab’s focus of enhancing presence in the consumer segment. In recent years, LED lights have become a potent source of lighting. They have rapidly risen to popularity in the Indian lighting sector thanks to their many advantages over traditional lighting technologies.

Polycab’s new LED campaign takes up a common insight on how one’s state of mind changes when their favorite lights are turned. Building on this, the company’s slice-of-life films tell stories of everyday people and how Polycab 3-in-1 LED light helps them change their view on things in the most entertaining way.

The first film in the series centers around a bachelor who has invited his fiancée and in-laws over to show his apartment, only to find out that his friends have created a mess inside. The story is about how he manages to make an impression on the in-laws with the help of Polycab 3-in-1 LED Panel Light.

The second film begins with an awkward situation when a guy introduces his life partner to his grandparents. The story is about how he wins them over with Polycab light.

The last film features a family where a father serves lauki sabji for dinner and changes the family’s perspective towards lauki sabji by toggle switching the Polycab 3-in-1 LED Panel Light.

Nilesh Malani, President, and Chief Marketing Officer Polycab India Ltd. said, “The product benefits of LED lights have evolved to transform our lifestyles altogether. Polycab’s Scintillate 3-in-1 LED Panel Light goes beyond the typical illumination element. The product offers three colors using switch toggle and is available in two shapes and multiple wattages. Polycab personifies this transformation in one of the simplest but powerful ways. Our series of View Badal De digital films drive home the point of LED lights not only illuminating the surroundings but our lifestyles including outlook towards life.”

Prem Narayan Chief Strategy Officer, Ogilvy India said, "What makes good advertising is when you get that chuckle out of the consumer. That chuckle that yes, I get that joke or that yes, it happens with me! Our campaign is based on a simple truth - when people are in a good mood their perspective on things changes. Polycab with its 3-in-1 lights can bring that change in mood. The 3 films look at situations which would on any other day (or light) get a grumble from people, but now they 'see' things differently."
