Introduction
Over the past year, the phrase “quiet quitting” has taken over workplaces worldwide, including in Delhi, Gurgaon, and Noida. Many assume it’s about employees being disengaged or lazy—but the truth is far deeper. Quiet quitting is not about quitting at all. It’s about drawing a line between work and life to protect mental health.
At Antarnaad Wellness, we believe the real conversation should be about building healthy boundaries rather than labeling employees negatively.
Why Quiet Quitting Became Popular
-
Rising burnout in fast-paced corporate hubs like Gurgaon and Cyber City
-
Unrealistic deadlines and constant digital availability
-
Lack of mental health awareness in workplaces
-
The need to preserve energy and emotional well-being
Employees aren’t refusing to work—they’re refusing to sacrifice their health and happiness.
The Delhi-NCR Corporate Reality
In the heart of India’s corporate hubs, professionals are silently struggling.
-
Long commutes + long hours = little time for self-care
-
Pressure to “always be online” in hybrid/remote jobs
-
A culture of equating overwork with dedication
This toxic cycle leads to stress, fatigue, and disengagement.
The Shift: From Quiet Quitting to Healthy Boundaries
Instead of fearing the “quiet quitting” trend, companies should encourage boundary-building:
~ Set realistic work hours
~ Respect personal time after office
~ Value results over clock-in hours
~ Encourage open conversations about workload
Boundaries do not weaken performance—they boost productivity and retention.
