After fighting many challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic, companies are now looking to the post-Covid future.
After almost one and a half years of remote work, several IT companies including Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro, and others are gearing up to call back employees to the offices.
But, the second most-valuable internet company, Paytm said that it will not force people to come to the office.
Speaking to the media (moneycontrol) ahead of its big-ticket Initial Public Offering (IPO), founder and chief executive officer of Paytm, Vijay Shekhar Sharma said that the internet company will continue to allow employees to work from home.
Paytm has switched to a world where working from home or remote working is a new norm and they will be 100% flexible forever for good, the Paytm founder said.
This comes on the back of an ongoing reversal in remote work strategy at IT behemoths. TCS for instance wants to get a majority of its employees who are fully vaccinated back to the office by December this year.
On the other side, senior leaders at Wipro already have started coming to the office twice a week, while IT major Infosys is planning to call back its 20-30% staff to offices over the next six months.
