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.
