TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Tech M: How Many Employees Are Working From Home?

The COVID-19 pandemic and the nation-wide lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus has induced a new working pattern across the world: remote working. 

The Department of Telecommunication (DoT) has made regulatory changes to extend the work from home relaxation till December 31, 2020. 

This decision has been welcomed by the Indian IT firms while some of the companies are seeking permanent relaxation in these norms to avoid expenditure on real estate.
