Our corporate Maternity Support Program helps expectant parents and caregivers navigate pregnancy, postpartum wellbeing and the return to work with unlimited counselling, expert-led sessions, structured check-ins and digital wellbeing support. It equips their managers too, with conversation guides, handover toolkits and bias awareness, so the transition is planned rather than improvised. For organisations, it closes the gap where experienced people are most often lost not during leave, but in the months after the return.
60+ Mothers supported to date
270+ Check-in calls made
73% Indian women quit working after childbirth
90% of women return post-leave, but a significant share exit within 7 months
Who The Program is Build For?
The employee at the centre of it and the partner, parents or family carer beside her, who is usually left out of the benefit entirely.
- Someone to talk to at every stage, confidentially Before, during and after leave with no disclosure to HR or her manager, and no approval step.
- Help with what blocks a return Independent support finding childcare, a nanny or relocation help. No vendor tie-ups, no commissions.
- Caregivers included in their own right Partners, parents and family carers get their own access, not a mention inside someone else's benefit.
The person whose handling of it decides whether she comes back and who has almost certainly never been trained for this conversation.
- Know what to say, and what not to say Conversation frameworks for the announcement, the handover, the leave and the return.
- A plan that exists before the leave starts Practical handover toolkits, so cover is arranged properly rather than improvised in the last fortnight.
- Recognise bias before it becomes a complaint How maternity bias shows up in assignments, appraisals and promotions, usually without anyone intending it.

Managers are the Other Half
Takes the guesswork and the anxiety out of it. They keep the team's productivity steady through the handover and the return, instead of improvising around an absence they were never trained to plan for.
Reduces the attrition risk that sits with untrained line managers, and lowers your exposure to maternity-bias complaints, the kind that rarely start with bad intent, and almost always start with an unsupported manager.
