BENGALURU, India, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sagility India has been Great Place To Work® Certified™ for the second consecutive year, reaffirming its commitment to building a workplace where employees feel trusted, supported and valued. The recognition comes alongside Sagility India’s #11 ranking among India’s Best Companies to Work For 2026, with 93% of employees saying that Sagility is a great place to work. The company was also recognized among the Top 10 India’s Best Workplaces™ for Women, the Top 25 organizations in the Bio-Tech, Life Sciences and Pharma category, and Asia’s Best Workplaces™ for large organizations.

Building on this momentum, Sagility India is now certified as a Great Place to Work® for the second consecutive year, with 93% of employees saying Sagility is a great place to work. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it comes directly from employee feedback.

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasises that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Sagility stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”

These recognitions are the outcome of a consistent focus on creating a workplace where people feel respected, supported, included and able to build successful careers.

Aparna Rao Basu, Senior Vice President and Head Human Resources, Sagility India, said:
“Being Great Place to Work-Certified™ for the second consecutive year reflects the trust our people place in Sagility and in each other. We believe a strong culture is built through everyday experiences, meaningful connections and opportunities that help people grow and succeed. Whether it is investing in learning, supporting wellbeing, strengthening inclusion, enabling flexible ways of working or recognizing contributions, our focus remains on creating an environment where employees can build rewarding careers and bring their best selves to work every day. This recognition belongs to our people, and it inspires us to continue raising the bar on the employee experience we create together.”

At Sagility, employee experience is shaped by a culture of listening, connection and action. Regular town halls, listening forums, pulse surveys and manager conversations help capture employee perspectives, with feedback translated into meaningful initiatives and communicated back to employees.

Beyond the workplace, family engagement, celebrations, milestone moments and wellbeing programs strengthen the connection between employees, their families and Sagility—creating an experience where people feel heard, supported and valued.

Recognition is an important part of life at Sagility. From celebrating long-serving employees through Long Service Awards to recognizing individuals and teams who make a difference every day, Sagility believes achievements should be acknowledged and celebrated. Sagility’s rewards and recognition programs reinforce behaviours that reflect values, strengthen teamwork and encourage innovation.

Technology has played an important role in helping people stay connected and productive. Secure work-from-home infrastructure, collaboration tools, virtual learning platforms and digital support systems enable employees to work effectively regardless of location. These capabilities have helped us maintain strong engagement, continuous learning and seamless collaboration across teams.

Sagility’s commitment to people extends beyond engagement. The organisation continues to invest in learning, career development, leadership capability and wellbeing.

Programs such as STRIDE, PACE, STEP and LIFT support employees at different stages of their careers, while initiatives such as S.H.E. Leads, S.H.E. Circle and the Abilities Circle help create opportunities for growth, representation and belonging.

Sagility’s focus on supporting women through important life stages is reflected in S.H.E.’s Back, through which 94% of women return to work after maternity leave. Complementing these efforts is Sagility’s Wonder of Wellness framework, which supports employees across multiple dimensions of wellbeing.

At Sagility, the goal remains unchanged: to create a workplace where people can do meaningful work, build lasting careers, feel supported through life’s transitions and be recognized for the contributions they make every day.

This is the culture the employees have helped build, and the one Sagility remains committed to strengthening year after year.

Comfytemp Launches the Market’s First Electric Heating Patch for Period Cramps and Menstrual Comfort

Published

on

By

As women look for more convenient ways to manage period discomfort during their daily routines, Comfytemp introduces a new approach to menstrual comfort with the market’s first electric heating patch.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For millions of women, period cramps are a recurring part of everyday life. The discomfort can occur during work, school, travel, exercise, or other daily activities, making it difficult to rely on traditional comfort solutions that require users to stay in one place.

Heat has long been part of many women’s personal routines for managing menstrual discomfort. Traditional heating pads can provide soothing warmth, but their larger size and dependence on an outlet can make them difficult to use outside the home. Disposable menstrual heating patches offer greater portability, but they are designed for one-time use.

Recognizing the need for a more convenient option, Comfytemp, a consumer wellness brand focused on accessible home therapy technology, today announced the launch of its Electric Heating Patch, the market’s first electric heating patch designed specifically with period comfort in mind.

The product combines targeted electric heat with a compact, wearable design, giving women another option for incorporating warmth into their daily routines during their periods.

Rethinking Heat for Period Comfort

For many women, managing period cramps is not simply about finding something that provides warmth. The bigger challenge is finding a solution that fits into everyday life.

A traditional heating pad can be useful when relaxing at home, but it can be difficult to use while working at a desk, commuting, traveling, or taking care of everyday responsibilities. Users may need to remain near an electrical outlet or stay in one position for an extended period.

Disposable heating patches address some of these limitations by allowing users to move around while receiving warmth. However, their single-use design means that a new patch is needed each time.

Comfytemp saw an opportunity to approach menstrual heat therapy differently.

Rather than adapting a traditional heating pad into a smaller format, the company developed an electric heating patch specifically around the needs of women who want portable, targeted warmth during their periods.

“We know that period discomfort doesn’t always happen when you’re at home with time to rest,” said a spokesperson for Comfytemp. “Women may be working, traveling, studying, or simply going about their normal routines. We wanted to create a heating solution that could fit into those moments rather than asking women to change their routines around the product.”

Designed Around Everyday Period Routines

Menstrual discomfort can be unpredictable. It can begin before a period, continue through the first few days, or appear at different times throughout the menstrual cycle.

For women who regularly incorporate heat into their personal comfort routines, convenience can therefore be just as important as warmth itself.

Comfytemp’s Electric Heating Patch is designed to provide targeted warmth around areas commonly associated with menstrual discomfort, including the lower abdomen and lower back.

Its compact form is intended to make heat easier to incorporate into everyday activities. Women can use it while working, relaxing, traveling, or completing other daily routines where a traditional heating pad may be inconvenient.

The product is designed to offer an alternative to disposable warming patches while maintaining the portability that makes patches attractive in the first place.

Moving Beyond Disposable Heat Patches

Disposable heat patches have become a familiar option for women seeking portable warmth during their periods. Their convenience has made them particularly appealing for use outside the home.

However, the disposable nature of these products also means they are designed around short-term, single-use convenience.

Comfytemp’s approach is different.

By introducing electric heating technology into a compact patch-style format, the company is creating a reusable alternative for women who want portable heat without relying on a new disposable patch for every use.

This approach reflects a broader shift in how consumers think about personal wellness products. Rather than choosing between convenience and reusability, consumers increasingly expect products to deliver both.

For Comfytemp, the goal was to apply that expectation to one of the most common everyday wellness needs: menstrual comfort.

A More Convenient Option for Life During Your Period

The challenge of period discomfort extends beyond the discomfort itself.

Women may still need to attend meetings, work long shifts, travel, attend classes, exercise, or manage household responsibilities while experiencing menstrual symptoms.

This is where portability becomes an important part of product design.

Traditional heating pads are generally associated with rest and relaxation. Comfytemp’s Electric Heating Patch is designed for a different kind of use—bringing targeted warmth into situations where stopping what you’re doing may not be an option.

The compact design allows the product to become part of a daily routine rather than requiring the routine to revolve around the heating device.

Whether used during a workday, while traveling, or at home, the Electric Heating Patch is designed to give women greater flexibility in how they incorporate heat into their period comfort routines.

Creating a New Approach to Menstrual Comfort

The launch of the Electric Heating Patch represents Comfytemp’s continued focus on developing products around specific everyday consumer needs.

Rather than creating one-size-fits-all wellness products, the company continues to explore how familiar technologies can be redesigned around the way people actually live.

For menstrual comfort, that means looking beyond the traditional heating pad.

The Electric Heating Patch brings together the targeted warmth associated with heat therapy, the portability of a patch, and the convenience of an electric design in a product created specifically for women’s period routines.

“We believe wellness products should fit naturally into people’s lives,” the Comfytemp spokesperson added. “For women dealing with period discomfort, that means having options that are convenient enough to use wherever their day takes them.”

The Comfytemp Electric Heating Patch is now available through the company’s official website.
