Working from home? Zerodha's Nithin Kamath highlights the benefits of returning to office

" works well for support roles given the structured nature of the work. But for tech, business, and decision-making teams, it has been detrimental, primarily due to the big gaps in remote communication," he said.

The corporate world's shift to return to office was led by IT companies for various reasons, including the gradual decline of collaboration among employees.

Zerodha mandated about 10% or just over 100 people from the broking firm's core team to return to the office at least three days a week for a few months.

"The change has been dramatically positive, to say the least," Kamath added while sharing a post on social media platform 'X' in which Zerodha's CTO Kailash Nadh talks about the benefits of working from office.

Zerodha has a two-day at-home policy for employees to zone out, avoid commuting, and do focused work. The three-day work from office at the same time is aimed at collaboration across teams.

The stock broker also introduced a fixed number of annual work-from-home days an employee could use to plan the year better.

Nadh said as employees returned to office, the communication chasm had dissipated almost entirely within a couple of months.

"Decisions that would take days and weeks to slowly transpire online started happening in minutes. The unbearable and unreasonable coordination overhead of online async communication effectively vanished," he said in a blog post.
