More employees need to work from offices, says Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji

Information technology major Wipro’s Chairman Rishad Premji on Wednesday said more employees need to work from offices rather than from their homes.

He also said that coming to office helps in establishing a connect and an intimacy which is very essential for us as humans, and made it clear that no technology can be of help on the same.

“You can’t build that connectedness and intimacy no matter how advanced technology gets. We are human beings. I am a big believer that we should be coming back (to offices) in some shape and form,” Premji said while speaking at the NTLF 2023.

Accepting that hybrid working, where an employee works both from office and homes, is the future of work, Premji said the technology industry is one of the most “spoilt” sector where people enjoy this unique way of working.
