Caring like we mean it

All our practices have evolved to ensure that each of us goes home feeling valued and cared for.

re.boot: Switch off,
unwind, recharge.

Our most popular program pushes us to take time off and do the things we love. We enforce this upon ourselves by shutting down from time to time to recharge, always coming back with fresh energy and memorable stories.

MATERNITY & PATERNITY PROGRAM

More than your care, a child needs your time

One aspect of parenting, and hence of maternity/paternity programs, is to provide the support that a growing child needs. Another more crucial role is spending time and creating early memories with your child.

To enable both these functions fully, our approach to maternity & paternity leaves has organically grown beyond the mandatory 6 months to 12 months or more, with continuous room for flexibility. Each new parent is encouraged to decide this independently based on her or his unique needs and situations.

Benefits

We believe Market Pulse is our own company, and that “we’re in this together”. One of the ways we enable long-term wealth creation for all is by giving ESOPs to everyone, regardless of their role or experience.
