Zerodha Co-founder Shares Why WFH Did Not Work For Some Employees

Work from home was implemented in 2020 to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, Zerodha Co-founder Nithin Kamath took to X to share his thoughts about remote work. He states that while it was “great” for some employees, but not for others. He also shared that a few months ago, he implemented the hybrid model for better collaboration and creativity among employees, and it has turned out to be a “positive” move.

Sharing the post on X, Nithin Kamath wrote, “All of us at @zerodhaonline went fully remote during the pandemic lockdown in 2020. While it’s been great for some, it hasn’t been for others.”

In the next line, he added, “In this post, K explains why it didn’t work for everybody at Zerodha. Work from home works well for support roles given the structured nature of the work. But for tech, business, and decision-making teams, it has been detrimental, primarily due to the big gaps in remote communication.”

Later he shared the positive outcome of the decision and wrote, “So about ~10% (100+ people) of the core team started coming to the office 3 days a week starting a few months ago. The change has been dramatically positive, to say the least. 1/2.”
