In light of the ongoing crisis in West Asia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on Indians to revive work-from-home practices as a cost-cutting measure. This appeal comes amid rising crude oil prices, which have surged above $105 per barrel due to geopolitical tensions. In response, Sridhar Vembu, the founder and CEO of Zoho, announced that the company would reconsider its recent shift back to office work. Vembu highlighted that Zoho had previously adopted a full work-from-office model but is now open to revisiting remote work options. He also mentioned the company's commitment to supporting small vendors, such as canteen operators and tea stalls, who rely on office footfall, by providing assistance during work-from-home periods. Modi's remarks were made during a BJP rally in Hyderabad, where he urged citizens to adopt habits developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as virtual meetings and video conferencing, to conserve resources and reduce fuel consumption.
