NEW DELHI - Indian food delivery company Zomato said on Saturday it would give female employees up to 10 days of “period leave” per year, as part of an effort to combat what it said was stigma around the issue.

“There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma attached to applying for a period leave,” Zomato chief executive Deepinder Goyal said in an email to staff on Saturday. Founded in 2008, Gurugram-based Zomato is one of India’s best-known companies, with more than 5,000 employees.

Zomato Interesting Corporate Approach to matters of Gender Equality as some companies formalise and promote the right of their female employees to seek and be granted the menstrual period leave.

Zomato So not coming to work because of menstruation is a good thing, I understand? But not entering a temple because of menstruation is very bad, right? And the person who came up with 10 days per year was a male?

Zomato Aa.. in India menstrueren dames slecht 1 a 2x per jaar.. Doet me gelijk denken aan toen ik nog honden had. Die werden ook maar 2 x per jaar loops, maar poepten er wel net zoveel babies per keer uit als daar,

Zomato Absolutely love this!! This should be standard operating procedure for every organisation that employs women. Though why ten days? We have on average thirteen cycles per year...

Zomato the week previous a better time to stay home, no?

Zomato This is fabulous. Should be a global standard, however not ten days, 13.

Zomato That's why this phrase is wrong: ' mobilising women in one popular saying what men can do women can do'!

Zomato These women don't need period leave India.

Zomato So .83 days a month per year. The average period last 4 days or so a month. 🤔

Zomato If I was a male in that company, I would ive myself 'gaming leave' since it is very essential for me too...

Zomato Stunt.

There are 12 months in a year btw. Not impressed

Zomato I tought all people got periods these days...

Zomato Why

Zomato Sounds like a scheme to try and predict maternity leave. Or for some other data mining reason. Perhaps so they can start scheduling you days off automatically so you can't use the paid leave. That would save them money in the long run.

Zomato Yeah cause that wont get abused much.

Zomato Sounds to me like they just want to get rid of women on their period, disguised as being woke.

Zomato In the “olden days” these were called “personal days.” Good times.

Zomato That’s it! I’m now identifying myself as a woman for 10 days a year!

Zomato Is this parody or real?

Zomato Good time to change your sex

Zomato Trans-women are going to be pissed.

Zomato Great to hear

Zomato The Idiots in this comment section. (Men, I'm talking about men 😡)

Zomato Love the explainography! Please add 'Pad Man' discussion to your coverage. I'm all for period leave! Pad Man is a superhero!

Zomato they must be working to break taboos not getting leaves

AlasdairPal 👏👏👏

AlasdairPal 'Period Leave'..!!! What Barbaric Crap Is That!? Oh Well, Only In India!

AlasdairPal 👏👏👏

AlasdairPal Oh thank you so much! It's only been 5000 years that women have had a period. We will be eternally grateful. 🤬

AlasdairPal The men also have periods based on the cycle of their wallets. If one is affluent, he has literally hit menopause. Struggling financially means the guy is still bleeding and deserves some paid leave as well.

AlasdairPal Paid leave?

AlasdairPal Give me a break! 🤣

AlasdairPal How many months in a year? Does this math check out? Was a woman actually consulted?-

AlasdairPal Backward, misogynistic practices need to stop.

AlasdairPal Why not 12 ? Innocent question...

AlasdairPal Yes women only have periods for 10 days in a year. Stupid move either give proper 5 day a month or none.

AlasdairPal Nice of Zomato. But they’ve got their Math wrong. 12 periods a year should be greater than or equal to 12 days of period leave. If you’re doing it, do it right.

AlasdairPal Peakual rights..

AlasdairPal Haha. Do they still have to stay in huts outside?

AlasdairPal That will really help convincing companies to hire women.

AlasdairPal Active physical life is beneficial during periods

AlasdairPal So period pay for the pay period...?

AlasdairPal There are 12 months in a year...

AlasdairPal And that’s a fact. Period.

AlasdairPal Women need to keep their periods down to ten a year. Hormone therapy should help.
