2021 Year in Review

English English

The future of work is here

If 2020 was the year of remote work, 2021 has been
the dawn of hybrid workplaces.

As organizations across the world recover from the blows of the
pandemic, it has become clear that there’s no going back to things
as they were.

Embracing the hybrid
model with transnational
localism

In India, we now have:

3

hub
offices

31

spoke
offices

262

people working
out of our spoke offices

And we aren't alone in embracing the hybrid model.
According to our 2021 Digital Readiness Survey,
96% of companies plan on supporting remote workers for at least the next two years.
