When hiring new employees, we make it very clear that we are pet-friendly and candidates also get a taste of this when they come in for an interview. Most rooms are soundproof, feature water bowls, dog beds, and cleaning wipes. Additionally, there are pet perks like dog biscuits, dog toys, chew-sticks and bones that are used while the dogs are being trained for tricks and other games.\u201d, says Madhushri Verma, a DriveU employee. Not just that,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">DriveU also donates a percentage of their yearly revenues to NGO&#8217;s working for animals to help promote adoption of stray animals and for medication and cure of injured animals on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Here&#8217;s hoping more Indian offices go pet friendly and welcome a furry friend into their offices as warmly as into their hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the toughest parts of being away at work for 12 hours a day is being away from your pet.
