Indian work culture is very demanding, with many workers struggling to strike the right work-life balance. Nearly a fifth of Indian workers spend up to three hours a daily, daydreaming about a holiday – but they're not taking them, out of the cultural fear that they'll be looked upon negatively.

The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime, so it’s fair to want one’s efforts over that time to feel worthwhile. Canvas8 spoke with leadership researcher and coach Susan Fowler about what a new understanding of the human psyche means for workplace motivation.

Domestic airfares in India are among the cheapest in the world at just 13 cents per kilometre. As holidaymakers nationwide take advantage of these low fares, they’ve got more cash to splash on high-end hotels or luxury experiences, which can help to ease the stress of work.
