Indians ready to return to office

When pandemic struck India in March 2020, offices were shut, and this gave way to a new working style – work from home. For the longest time, people worked remotely. But now a year later, 84% of Indians are ready to return to their workplace after the lockdown. According to Deloitte’s online survey, the anxiety among the citizens have dropped, all thanks to a robust vaccination drive. A fewer Indians are worried about using public transportation now and are keen to get back to work. “The easing of COVID-19 related restrictions across the country along with an accelerated vaccination drive has fueled positive consumer sentiments. Our latest survey insights indicate higher level of consumer spends and a decline in anxiety levels will boost India’s economic revival albeit with a touch of caution,” said Porus Doctor, partner and consumer industry leader, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India.
