    Recently an employee of Paytm Gurgaon was tested positive for coronavirus. Therefore, the company had to take the necessary step to close down the office for two days. The government authority in Noida has instructed the companies, startups and other offices to take essential steps to stop the spreading of coronavirus.

    These companies are also instructed to provide the travel history of their employees who have recently visited foreign countries like Italy, china, japan, Korea, Dubai etc. Anand Mahindra (CEO of Mahindra) promoted the work from home culture on twitter through his post.

    The crisis will pass,but I think it’s making the world press a permanent ‘Reset’ button. 1) It’ll accelerate working from home 2) lead to more digital ‘virtual’ conferences 3) More video calls, less meetings.4) Less air travel, leading to a greener footprint. Anything else? https://t.co/ISb2wNJpiD
