Radhika Gupta and her husband are both working parents. When she could not find any help to take care of her child one day, she appeared to be making a colorful mat with some toys next to her work table. While working like this, she took care of her child.
“On a day when both parents have to work, and there’s no help, guess who comes to work? It’s often asked how you’re going to juggle the life of a mom and CEO. Well, a little planning, a lot of patience and a problem-solving attitude makes things work. And a baby’s laugh does the rest.” Radhika tweeted on her Twitter handle.

Netizens reflect on the difference between being in a high authority position
One Twitter user Ashok Lalla said that this was one of the perks of being the CEO! Junior ministers often do not have such options and often struggle to balance home and work. And it is usually the woman who bears the brunt of it.

Another Twitter user named Sachin agreed with the perks of being at a higher level, saying such things were only available at the higher management level, for the average office going couple, clearly it’s a day off from work Is. Such approval is required at all levels.

Referring to the hard work of a female laborer, Twitter user Amit Mane wrote, “Sorry but why this self-glorification, no big deal for a CEO to do this with due respect. Look at laborers on farm or construction, those mothers are facing 1000 times more difficult situation year after year.
