Is Myntra Really One of India's Best Workplaces? Find Out

Posted by parisha kumari on June 1st, 2021

There are so many reasons that make a company a great or terrible place to work at. The first thing that comes to mind when "workplace" is mentioned may be the tangible properties of the company such as the location, the infrastructure, the facilities available, and more. And sure, those are important too, but what really matters the most is the environment and the care that is provided for the employees. If employees are happy at their workplace, it shows. It shows in the way they talk about their organization, suggest their friends to come work with them, participate in various activities, and plan to stay for a long time.

Myntra is one of those companies that have been making appearances in the Great Place to Work At list every year. So, is it really one of India's top places to work at? The news that it is one of the most sought-after companies to work at has been doing the rounds over the years as well. Some of its employees even call it the most diverse workplace they've ever worked at. That might say a thing or two about the impressive employee retention there.

Here are some reasons why the e-commerce giant is deemed to be one of the best places to work at.

Better leave policy

The company's leave policy just keeps getting better with every amendment. Among others, Myntra Employees are also entitled to “care leaves”, surrogacy leaves, adoption leaves, gender reassignment surgery leaves, pet leaves, in addition to other normal leaves that any other company provides. Most of these are steps taken by the company to champion the cause of LGBTQIA+ communities and to strengthen the culture of inclusion and diversity within the work environment.

But there’s more!

The overall wellness of the company’s employees is top priority, and because of that, the company has introduced an unlimited wellness leave policy. Myntraites can now avail infinite number of leaves for both physical and mental wellbeing, to even de-stress and recharge, without worrying about their leave balance. This is definitely something that can get other companies and outsiders envious.

And of course, in addition to all of that, employees also get 24 days of vacation leaves to travel and spend quality time with family and friends. Whew! No wonder it's one the most sought-after companies.

Fun and unique sessions

Create Magic session was something that was started out some time before the Coronavirus outbreak took over the world. It is a motivation speaker's series where eminent personalities from different walks of life interact with its enthusiastic crowd, giving them a perspective and encouraging them to succeed in their goals and helping them become the best version of themselves.

Over the past few months, Myntra Employees have had a blast at these speaker sessions. Who wouldn’t if famous personalities in the likes of Kapil Dev, Guru Gopal Gaur Das, Sunil Chhetri and Kalki Koechlin, paid us a visit and spoke directly to us? It was a great tradition started right before the pandemic and continued even when the employees worked from home.

In the first Work from Home speaker session, the employees were joined by the amazing and talented actor, writer, producer, Kalki Koechlin herself. And it’s safe to say that they were left nothing short of inspired and motivated. The CEO himself joined his employees as a speaker in one of Work from Home Create Magic editions. The session with Guru Gopal Gaur Das was definitely one of the most memorable ones.

It’s this kind of effort Myntra takes that even when employees work from home, they remain motivated and are at the top of their game.
