COVID-19: Wipro leaders to return to office from tomorrow after 18 months

In the company's annual report, Premji had stated that the company had triggered its business continuity plans to quickly enable remote working as the pandemic broke out, and less than three percent of its global workforce was working from office. "We have settled well into this new way of working and have continued to make our customers successful. We enjoy their confidence, and I have no doubt that a hybrid model may well be how we work in the future," he had said.

Industry watchers believe that a hybrid model of work bringing in staff into office for a few days a week while allowing them to work remotely on other days will have huge comparative advantage. It will pave the way for a more inclusive workforce enabling job creation in tier-III and -IV locations and greater participation of women in the workforce as they will have flexibility to work from home, according to them.
