Indian Mothers With Child Under 2 - Balancing Career Without Family

I was an extremely focused woman before I became a mother. Then things changed. Family lives nearby but isn't in a position to help, and the paid help I found didn't work out. So it has been me. I made that choice and I don't regret it, but two years in, I've lost sight of who I really was. My daughter turns two soon and I still haven't worked out how to hold both together- at the same time. There is the house, there is her, there is work and there is a version of my own mind I didn't anticipate. She is suddenly my first priority, and I was never this person before. What I do know is that staying home full time back then was the hardest job I've done. There is no break and you cannot switch off. You are also not seen, because how do you place a value on work like this. So I'm looking for perspective on how women actually balance a career with raising a small child. I would like to hear from Indian women in particular — work culture differs across countries and I want a view grounded in the reality here. Specifically from mothers who managed this without family support to fall back on, relying on a nanny or daycare, with a child under two. I'm not looking for advice so much as what it actually looked like day to day and how you navigated it. The parts that rarely get said out loud. If this has been your experience, or you know someone who has navigated it, I'd be glad to connect. Please DM me or leave a name in the comments. Any leads would be much appreciated.

Indian Employees & HR Leaders - Working Hours & Work-Life Balance

Hi! I'm working on a story for The Indian Express exploring how working hours, overtime expectations and work-life balance differ across countries, with a particular focus on India, following the recent developments involving Infosys in France. I'm looking to speak with: • Indian employees (across industries, especially IT, consulting, start-ups, finance and corporate roles) who are willing to share their experiences of working hours, after-hours communication and workplace expectations. • Labour law experts who can explain how India's working-hour regulations compare with those in countries such as France and what the legal framework means in practice. • HR leaders who oversee workplace policies, compliance or employee wellbeing and can offer insights into how organisations navigate working-hour norms. • Organisational psychologists who can discuss the impact of long working hours, 'always-on' work cultures and after-hours availability on productivity, wellbeing and burnout. If this sounds like you or if you know someone who would be a great fit, please comment below or send me a DM. I'd love to speak with you. #journorequest

Experts & Professionals on Time as New Status Symbol in Work Culture

#Journorequest Is Time Becoming the New Status Symbol? I’m working on a long-form feature for a national publication exploring how control over one’s hours is quietly competing with money as the clearest signal of success. After years of hustle and performative busyness, many professionals are redefining ambition by choosing autonomy over exhaustion. Free mornings. Flexible timings. Sabbaticals. Micro-retirements. Meeting caps. Asynchronous work cultures. I’m looking to speak with: 🔹 Founders and HR leaders experimenting with four-day weeks, async work models, or outcome-based productivity 🔹 Mid-career professionals who’ve taken sabbaticals, downshifted roles, opted for flexible contracts, tried “micro-retirement” or wished to but couldn’t afford to 🔹 Gen Z and late millennials setting boundaries early and rethinking traditional career ladders 🔹 'Time Rebels' prioritising a serious hobby or a "non-negotiable" window, along with a high-pressure job and/or a chaotic household of kids 🔹 Productivity researchers, workplace sociologists, and digital wellbeing experts studying burnout, attention, and cognitive load If you’ve consciously traded pay, prestige, and pace for time, or if you've tried and fallen flat on your face, I’d love to hear your story! 📩 Please DM me or comment below, or drop a mail at [email redacted] TIA 🙂 #JournalismRequest #FutureOfWork #WorkCulture #FourDayWeek #SlowProductivity #Burnout #Leadership #CareerTransitions #TimeWealth

HR & Indian Employees on 4-Day Workweek Impact - Indian Express

Hi everyone, India is considering a 4-day workweek, with new labour laws allowing 12 hours of work per day to complete the mandated 48 hours per week. In this context, I'm doing a piece on whether this is a sustainable model for Indian employees. Will it actually improve productivity and promote better work-life balance? I plan to speak with HR and Indian employees to understand their views on these new labour laws and their implications for the future of work culture in our country. If you/your client wish to participate in the story, please reach out in the comments or DMs. This piece is for The Indian Express digital. #journorequest #lifestyle #workplace #workculture #jobs #employees
