After over a month of the nationwide lockdown, India Inc’s top leaders say they are beginning to consider a work from home or hybrid model even for the long term
At 6.30 pm sharp, just as everyone else is winding up work, Damini Nair, 27, logs in to her desktop. Nair, who works with a global IT services major, has been working the graveyard shift from home for over a month. She does miss going to an office, though, considering she is working 11 hours now versus the regular nine because of poor internet connectivity.(This story appears in the 22 May, 2020 issue of Forbes India.

I realized that almost everyone is working longer hours from home (including me and my husband), blurring the lines between work time and home time, and without taking those breaks that you would in an office and with this approach, i analyzed that work life balance is completely damaged. Many people will oppose this by saying it is upto you how you\'ll manage your time but that\'s not true. I\'ll give you my example only, I am working as an HR Consultant and everyday i stay late with my laptop so that i can cover maximum part of my work and when i finally shut down my machine, i only feel like sleeping and nothing else. There would be many advantages of working for home for sure but for me , it is not working.
