# YesMadam CEO Apologizes After Stress Survey Backlash

YesMadam, a Noida-based salon home service startup, has found itself in hot water after a controversial mental health awareness campaign backfired. The company's CEO, Mayank Arya, has issued a public apology for the poorly executed campaign that led to widespread criticism and accusations of a "cheap PR stunt."

The controversy erupted when a screenshot circulated on social media suggesting that YesMadam had terminated 100 employees following an internal mental health survey. The company was accused of firing those who admitted to feeling overworked, sparking significant backlash.

In response, YesMadam released a detailed 3-page clarification explaining that the controversial announcement was a strategic move to raise awareness about workplace stress in India. The company emphasized that no employees were actually fired and introduced initiatives like the "Happy 2 Heal" program and a "De-Stress Leave" policy to support employee well-being.
