Anupam Mittal (founder and CEO of People Group and Shaadi.com) has introduced a mandatory one-day work-from-home policy for his approximately 500 employees, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to curb fuel consumption due to rising global energy prices. Mittal announced that employees will work remotely every Wednesday, which he estimates will save around 30,000 liters of petrol annually. His post on social media received positive feedback, with many praising the initiative as a step towards reducing pollution and traffic congestion in urban areas. Some users, however, questioned why such a policy was not implemented earlier, highlighting the growing awareness of the benefits of remote work since the COVID-19 pandemic. PM Modi's appeal emphasizes the need for responsible living to protect India's foreign exchange reserves amid escalating fuel prices and their impact on the economy. With 50% of India's crude imports and 60% of liquefied natural gas supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the country faces significant economic challenges, including a widening trade deficit and a weakening rupee.
