A few months into a setup where remote working has settled in, we take stock of how a taste of Work From Home has changed working as a whole.
In Part 2 of our conversation with the heads of three prominent tech companies in India - Monish Darda, co-founder of Icertis, KS Prashant, MD of IDeaS and Nitin Deshpande, President of Evolent Health, - we hear their experiences of having seen remote working from close quarters.
Like flipped classrooms in schools - is it time for flipped workplaces - where serious work happens at home, and then you come into office once in a few weeks to network, catch up and have some fun? Is the hybrid model of a office-home split the way ahead? What are the things they feel are going to last for long, what part of work has changed forever and what are some of the things that look like they will never change - we explore all this and more.

As companies grow, they seek to build a common philosophy that ties the company, its work, and its employees. Capturing the DNA of an organisation in this way can be very challenging, but done well, it can pay off by providing a reference point, direction, and an answer for "how things are done here". But what do they get wrong about this exercise? Sirisha Bhamidipati who has spent a lot of time thinking and directing such cultural exercises for diverse teams, breaks this down. In conversation with CTQ's Ramanand.
