MUMBAI : After the Centre extended the national lockdown till 31 May while allowing several relaxations outside containment zones to restart economic activity, companies now await directions from states to kick- start operations.
Technology industry body Nasscom said the industry must take a phased approach, with 15-20% workforce in phase I as part of the standard operation procedure (SOP). “Companies are modelling out the workforce mix that they need on premise because their productivity has been fine while working from home.
We are looking at a staggered approach with 10-15% back to work by end of May-June and, depending on the criticality, up to 20-25% for IT services.
