Online food delivery and restaurant discovery service provider Zomato has introduced a 26-week parental leave for all employees, Money Control reports. The policy would benefit non-birthing parents in cases like surrogacy, adoption and same-sex partners.

It should be noted that Indian laws mandate a 26-week maternity leave but don't provide any such rule for paternity leave in the country. No other company in India is close to having a similar parental leave policy for both men and women.


Further, Zomato would provide $1,000 per child as an endowment to the new parents as welcoming a new member to the family can be financially straining for a young family.
