Work, Wellness, and Menopause: 5 Crucial Health Tips for a Smooth Balance
In India, women usually go through menopause around the age of 46.2, which is earlier than the average age of 51 in western countries. During this time, it’s important for women to understand and manage menopause symptoms while balancing their work and personal lives.
In a survey by Abbott and Ipsos, 87% of people said that menopause has a big impact on a woman’s daily life. Symptoms like hot flashes, sweating, trouble sleeping, mood swings, and joint pain can be tough to handle. However, nearly 80% of those surveyed think that women often feel uneasy talking about these issues with family, friends, or coworkers. The survey took insights from more than 1,200 people across seven cities. The objective of the survey was to assess awareness levels, perceptions, and experiences women go through during menopause. The survey included women in the 45-55 years age group, as well as family members.
Menopause symptoms can make work life tough. According to the survey, 81% of working women have trouble concentrating, 73% need to take frequent leaves, and 66% often feel mood swings and irritability. These challenges can affect productivity, job satisfaction, and career growth.
Dr Rohita Shetty, Medical Affairs Head, Abbott India says, “Raising awareness about menopause is more than just sharing facts. It’s about creating a space where women feel comfortable talking about their experiences. The Women First website is one such platform that provides helpful information and encourages open, meaningful conversations with family, friends, and colleagues. This support empowers women to embrace this next chapter of their lives with confidence and ease.”
According to Dr. Sheela V Mane, Consultant, Anugraha Nursing Home, Bangalore, “Menopause is a unique experience for every woman, impacting health, well-being, and overall quality of life. A holistic approach can make this transition smoother and more comfortable. For working women, simple steps like taking short meditation breaks, maintaining a balanced diet even on busy days, and finding time for regular exercise are crucial. It’s also important to discuss treatment options with your doctor, as they can help alleviate symptoms impacting quality of life.”
Here are some tips to help you manage the symptoms better and take charge of your health as well as your career:
- Speak up and reach out when you need it – Talk to your colleagues and supervisors about your symptoms and how they affect your work. Discussing about what you may be going through with your friends and family – and even trusted colleagues – can provide support while also potentially giving you a network of people who understand what you are going through. Others may have had similar experiences and can share how they managed it.
- Create a supportive work environment –There may be small adjustments at work that can make your symptoms easier to manage. This could be as simple as having a desk fan or arranging flexible work hours to handle hot flashes or anxiety.
- Prioritize self-care – Add stress-reducing activities to your workday. Practice mindfulness and relaxation and do some light exercise to help manage mood swings and fatigue.[1],5
- Seek medical advice – Talk to a gynecologist about your symptoms and explore treatment options. Lifestyle changes and the right medications can effectively manage menopausal symptoms.
- Access to trusted information – There are various resources including the Women First portal that should help you better understand and manage menopause. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to consult a doctor. You can also consider connecting with other women going through menopause.

Mumbai, April 03, 2025: In a vibrant celebration of unity and tradition, Atmosphere O2 — the premium gated community in Mulund — recently hosted grand festivities to mark Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, heralding the New Year with infectious energy, joy, and communal harmony. The celebration was a resounding success, reflecting the spirit of togetherness as residents from all walks of life, castes, and religions came together to participate in the occasion.

True to tradition, the residents of Atmosphere O2 adorned themselves in saffron turbans, turning the entire complex into a sea of vibrant orange during the much-anticipated Shobha Yatra, the biggest attraction of the day.
One of the highlights of the celebration was the Lezim performance, a traditional Maharashtrian folk dance with historical roots tracing back to the era of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. What made it even more special was the participation of children and senior citizens alike. Children, who usually spend their free time with gadgets and screens, enthusiastically practiced for 15 days prior to the event. Their dedication and enthusiasm turned the dance into a lively celebration and a refreshing workout for participants of all ages.
The rhythmic beats of the dhol filled the air, as even the elderly joined the dance floor, showcasing their enthusiasm and zest for life. The performance served as both a cultural expression and a joyful form of fitness, reflecting the community’s spirit of active, inclusive living.
Events like these have become a hallmark of Atmosphere O2, offering residents the opportunity to bond over shared cultural values and traditions.

Vedaanta Senior Living Grows 55% in Revenue, Cementing Success in FY 2024-25
Bengaluru, 3rd April,2025– Vedaanta Senior Living has reported an impressive 55% revenue growth, reinforcing its leadership position in South India’s thriving senior living sector. This growth is based on a comparison between FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25.
Over the past decade, senior living options in India have evolved significantly. While traditional choices were limited to either staying with family or living alone, independent senior living communities have emerged as a thriving alternative. Companies like Vedaanta Senior Living are redefining aging by creating spaces where seniors can live independently while staying socially connected, fulfilling their desire for comfort, convenience, and meaningful engagement.
In just one year, Vedaanta Senior Living expanded its footprint from five to nine properties across four South Indian states, further strengthening its presence in the region’s senior living landscape. This strategic expansion has enabled the company to capture a significant share of the South Indian market, where demand for independent senior living is rapidly growing.
Vedaanta Senior Living’s success is driven by its deep understanding of its residents, customer-centric service policies, and a transparent approach that fosters trust. The company ensures that residents have an active voice in shaping their lifestyle choices, making them feel truly at home in their communities.
“Our aim is to provide a lifestyle where seniors can thrive, connect, and celebrate life every day,” said Shreya Anand, Director, Vedaanta Senior Living. “Today, senior living as a concept is gaining strong momentum. We believe that any city with good medical infrastructure and accessible public amenities has the potential to support a thriving retirement community. We frequently receive inquiries from customers across India, asking us to establish communities in their cities. They share how managing life in the bustle of urban areas is becoming increasingly difficult for seniors. This only reinforces the fact that retirement communities are no longer a luxury—they are a growing social necessity.”
One of the latest emerging trends in South India is the rise of micro-communities, where groups of like-minded friends choose to move into the same residential community. This trend is gaining traction as it strengthens social bonds, fosters deeper connections, and enhances the overall living experience. Such theme-based communities offer seniors more choices tailored to their diverse expectations for retirement rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This growing demand for personalized living experiences has significantly contributed to Vedaanta’s expansion and success.
Looking ahead, Vedaanta Senior Living plans to expand further across the country. The company aims to introduce new services and elevate resident experiences, combining strategic growth with innovative offerings to redefine senior living—ensuring every resident enjoys security, comfort, and meaningful connections.
In addition to its senior living communities, Vedaanta Senior Living, in partnership with Together Foundation, has successfully established “The Together Community”—a dedicated space for young autistic adults. This unique initiative provides a nurturing environment where residents can learn new skills, engage in meaningful activities, and develop greater independence, empowering them to lead enriched and fulfilling lives.

RiteBite Max Protein Disrupts Habits, Not Ads, This April Fools’ Day
Delhi, 3rd April 2025: In a world where diet plans often crumble at the sight of a discount coupon, RiteBite Max Protein, in partnership with Schbang Delhi, has launched a cleverly disruptive April Fools campaign that serves up more truth than temptation.
This April Fools’ Day, RiteBite Max Protein didn’t just join the prank party they flipped the script on temptation itself. RiteBite Max Protein April Fools Campaign, taps into its audience’s most relatable moment of weakness: late-night scrolls, fast food cravings, and that split-second surrender to a Rs. 100 coupon.
But instead of the promised cheat meal, users got a dose of self-awareness.
RiteBite Max Protein, known for pioneering protein-based snacking in India, has long stood by the mantra: “Protein Snacking Matlab No Cheating.” For this campaign, the brand decided to bring that message alive at the exact moment consumers were about to give in.
Their primary audience may aspire to healthy lifestyles, but the constant dopamine chase on Instagram, combined with irresistible discounts and food delivery ads, often leads them to compromise. The campaign leaned into this behavioural insight: cheating on your diet isn’t accidental, it’s ritualistic.
Schbang crafted a series of dark ads, a technique where ads are shown only to targeted users– disguised as tempting food deals. These creatives mimicked popular formats and brands, luring users into clicking.
But the ads weren’t from your favourite burger joint or food delivery platform. They were posted by a dummy account named “The Cheat Meal Club”, crafted to look authentic and familiar.
Upon clicking the link, users were redirected not to a coupon page but to a special landing page on RiteBite Max Protein’s website. The copy? Brutally honest.
The site didn’t shame it nudged. A smart banner reminded the user about the importance of health-forward snacking, reintroducing RiteBite Max Protein’s core range as a delicious, guilt-free option.
The campaign’s performance further validated the insight-led approach. Across platforms, RiteBite Max Protein’s digital decoy strategy clocked a total reach of over 4.7 lakh users, with more than 7.6 lakh impressions driven by targeted assets across Meta and Google. Most notably, the campaign achieved over 16,000 link clicks, reflecting a strong behavioural trigger that successfully redirected users at the precise moment of craving. The Meta assets alone garnered over 20,000 engagements, proving that when strategy meets timing, even an April Fools prank can convert curiosity into conscious choice.
Baani Singh, senior group Creative Manager at Schbang, says, “April Fool’s Day has become the day of tried and expected marketing efforts. With RiteBite Max Protein, we saw an opportunity to reinvent the format to make it speak to the consumer. A behaviour we largely observed and also experienced was of discounts and offer led temptation. This easy enabler of cheating was then turned into a light-hearted reminder to choose the healthy alternative of protein snacking.”
“At RiteBite Max Protein, we’re constantly challenging the norms of snacking, and this April Fools’ Day, we wanted to challenge the mindset too. With the ‘Cheat Meal Club,’ we didn’t just prank our audience but we gave them a much-needed wake-up call. In a world full of tempting offers on junk food, our message is clear: don’t fall for the bait. Choose better, choose protein. Because when it comes to health, cheating isn’t funny — it’s costly”, says Dr. Ravinder Varma, Sr. Brand Manger, RiteBite Max Protein (Company: Zydus Wellness Products Ltd).
RiteBite Max Protein has once again demonstrated that marketing doesn’t always have to shout to be heard. Sometimes, the most effective nudge comes in the form of a clever, quiet redirect to one that turns guilty pleasure into a healthy pause.
With the April Fools Campaign, RiteBite Max Protein and Schbang have successfully blurred the lines between prank and purpose delivering laughs, learnings, and a fresh take on digital wellness. Because at the end of the scroll, one truth remains:
