Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu decides against expanding work-from-home policy, says ‘issues take longer to resolve’

As many companies continue debating whether employees should return to offices or continue working remotely, Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has said the company will not expand its work-from-home policy after internal discussions concluded that in-person collaboration works better, especially for research and development teams.

The remarks come at a time when rising global crude oil prices and fuel-saving measures have once again pushed the work-from-home debate into focus.
