- Professionals are finding a new work-life dynamic despite the technological challenges
- Advantages of working from home are huge like saving on travel time, say some employees
NEW DELHI/BENGALURU/MUMBAI : Gurugram-based Prasanto K. Roy and Moushumi Dutt have worked from home in the past, but this time around, the experience is different.
Dutt, who works as an independent consultant to a venture capital fund and startups, said: “This mandated WFH is a bit different—the air of uncertainty, that worse could happen. As a consultant, I worry about the impact this phase will have on retaining current work and clients, as new business development is largely on hold.”

A policy consultant with a US firm, Roy is used to meetings and reviews through video-conferencing or audio calls, over Skype and Zoom, with overseas clients. “However, some of the work has come to a grinding halt, especially government meetings, where face time is important and many government officials still haven’t taken to moving external meetings to video or audio platforms.”
