The objective of this initiative is to allow employees to recharge both mentally and physically, enabling them to return refreshed and ready for the challenges ahead. Meesho’s message continued, "No laptops, Slack messages, emails, meetings, or stand-up calls, nothing work-related for 9 days!"

The initiative has received widespread praise on social media. One LinkedIn user remarked, "7-day break for employees? Meesho isn't just a green flag, it's a whole green forest! That's what I call dream company goals!"
