An increasing number of companies are adding support for egg and sperm freezing to staff benefit programmes, to help their employees make choices regarding family building in tandem with their career and other goals in life. Accenture, Myntra, SAP India, Fi Money and Synchrony are among companies that support their female employees who opt for egg freezing, which will allow them attempt pregnancy later via in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Bengaluru-based fintech Fi Money has appointed Poornima Kamath as Head of People and Culture. Poornima has previously worked in leadership roles at Microsoft and the Indian bottling arm of The Coca-Cola Company.
