Radhika Gupta and her husband both are working parents. When she found no help to take care of her toddler on a day, she appeared to create a colourful mat along with some toys next to her work table. That’s how she had taken care of her child while working.

“On a day when both parents have to work, and there is no help, guess who comes to work? Often asked how are you going to make a mom and CEOs life work. Well, a little planning, a lot of patience and a problem solving attitude make things work. And a baby’s laugh does the rest.,” Radhika tweeted on her Twitter handle.

Another Twitter user named Sachin agreed with the perks of being at higher level, said such things were available at higher management level only, for average office going couples, clearly its a day off from work. Need such acceptance at all levels.
