Pregnancy loss remains a deeply hidden issue among workplaces in India, with many women fearing professional consequences if they speak about their experiences, a study by engineering services company Quest Global reveals.
The study is based on research conducted by YouGov among more than 2,000 women and 200 men aged 25–39 across India.
The report titled 'Cost of Silence ' says 39% of women fear job loss or negative career repercussions if they disclose a miscarriage at work.
Another 40% choose to remain silent due to concerns about being judged by colleagues or employers.
The findings are part of Quest Global's newly launched Break the Silence campaign, which aims to bring conversations around pregnancy loss into mainstream workplace discourse and encourage organisations to provide structured support for affected employees.
