BENGALURU: Education technology startup Unacademy has said that 60% of its 1,000-strong workforce will work from home permanently even after the ongoing nationwide lockdown is lifted.

The development, a clear stance in favour of the remote working model, comes a day after Jack Dorsey, the cofounder of Twitter, said all employees at the company have been given the option to work remotely forever.

“Even post the lockdown, 60% of our entire workforce will be working from home permanently...” said Gaurav Munjal, cofounder of Unacademy.

Growth stage companies told ET that they will continue to evaluate office working conditions and will refrain from taking permanent decisions at this time.

Many startups and investors believe that the work-from-home option is going to be temporary, given India’s lack of infrastructure.
