Letter from ABP to employees asking them to volunteer for pay cut by

writing to the company asking for the same

Dear Friends,

I hope you and your families are all well through this unprecedented period that we are
experiencing. As the coronavirus pandemic has led to a total lockdown for more than 30
days, I thank the Almighty for having kept our ABP Family safe through these difficult
times and pray that it stays this way, while India recovers rapidly and completely.

We are also keeping a close watch on the impact of this pandemic in our business. As
of now, the daily advertisement revenue is almost zero. No one can forecast how long
this will continue. An extension of the lockdown and its consequent impact on the
overall economy will undoubtedly have an even more adverse impact on our business.
Our priority, through all of this upheaval, is to ensure that our employees and their
families stay safe, continue to make our products available to our readers and
customers, while we simultaneously take appropriate measures to ensure business
sustainability.

In this context, I would like to propose that we voluntarily surrender 30% of our CTC
with effect from April 2020. Kindly send a mail of your consent to [email protected]
(format attached with this mail).

I trust that I have your support at this challenging time. As I said earlier, we need to plan
for what unmistakably looks like a long fight. Our people have risen to many crisis
situations in the past very bravely and resolutely. This time also, we shall have to fight it
together.

Wishing you good health.

Yours sincerely,

D. D. Purkayastha
