Leverage Edu has onboarded 50 return-to-work mothers. This return-to-work initiative is part of Leverage Edu’s commitment to building an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace.
The initiative recognises the unique skills, drive and perspectives that women bring to the workplace after taking time away for child birth and child care, during one of the most important phases in their lives.
The company acknowledges that giving birth to a child makes women more strong and ambitious. It instils in them “the power to capture the whole world”. Leverage wishes “to be enablers to these rockstar women and provide them the rocket thrust they need to change the colour of the skies”!
Therefore, Akshay Chaturvedi, founder & CEO, Leverage.biz, agrees that every day should be Women’s Day.
The company believes mothers rejoining the workforce possess unmatched grit, power and persistance to outperform others in the workplace.
A few years ago, the company—which is an AI-based marketplace that helps students with higher education and career guidance—had announced period leaves for women in the workplace.
Last year, that is, July, 2023, the study-abroad platform had raised funds to the tune of $40 million in a Series C round led by Educational Testing Service (ETS), the Princeton-based global education testing and assessment organisation. The company had posted a three-fold increase in revenue last month, even though its losses increased owing to more expenses. Its revenue from operations in FY23 was Rs 68.9 crores, which is 228 per cent than the Rs 21 crore revenue it posted in FY22.
