When people work from home, that institutional culture will slowly become weaker and weaker,” Narayana Murthy the Infosys chief said.
Working from home does not work well in a country like India where many employees live in multi-generational households, Murthy opined.
The information technology veteran Narayana Murthy noted, “When people work from home, that institutional culture will slowly become weaker and weaker.”
Narayana Murthy said, “I believe the office is the place to work, home is the place to spend time with your loved ones. Mixing the two is not a good idea on a long-term basis.
Yeah, I understand that there is no alternative therefore, we have adapted. But this should be a short-term solution.”.
He stated that in a country like India, where not every employee can manage to have a separate room to work, with many employees living in a multi-generational household, and not having great internet connectivity, the concept of work from home does not bring out its best potential.
“My wish is that all the companies get back to office at the earliest,” added the industry veteran.
