MUMBAI : Kanti Joshi, 45, a legal consultant in Bengaluru, has pre-menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and extreme fatigue that creep in during her long and erratic working hours. “I have to work around my schedules and training sessions with corporates.
Most women above 40 years of age do not have any forum to discuss their hormonal changes that happen because of menopause," Joshi said.
India Inc. finally appears ready to talk about menopause, for long a taboo topic that has hobbled women’s participation in the workforce.
Menopause mainly affects experienced women in senior or middle management, making it crucial for companies to address the issue.
