Three in four employees in India seek remote work options: Microsoft survey

Nearly three-fourths or 74% of Indian employees say they want more flexible remote work options while at the same time 73% of them are also craving more in-person time with their teams, according to findings of Microsoft’s first annual work trend index released on Thursday.
