The Work from Home 

In a recent Microsoft event, Wipro executive chairman, Rishad Premji said, "But I think fundamentally, it is important that people do come back some of the time. I’m a big believer that people connect for two reasons: one is culture and the other innovation." 

Further, he added, “I think it’s incredibly critical for that to happen. And it doesn’t happen in this transactional medium of being virtual." 

In view of rising Covid-19 cases in India, many companies have opted for work remotely also known as work from home.
