“The 5-day office week is dead! People work almost 33% of their office time remotely and it’s a game changer. Flexibility is worth as much to people as an 8% raise. What we value most is skipping the daily commute and feeling flexible! ” Goenka wrote in a tweet. (Also Read: Harsh Goenka Wants To ‘eavesdrop’ on Muthoot Finance Board Meetings. Here’s Why)

He further added: “Hybrid work is the present and the future. It’s all about combining office work and remote work to suit your needs. It’s no longer about working 50 or 70 hours, it’s about your own ambition, your purpose and your productivity.”

“Embrace the shift, adapt to the new work environment and find your place between the office and home. It’s time to prioritize what’s truly important in your business life!” he said at the end of his tweet.
