Babita Baruah’s daily work routine has not changed much since the national lockdown. Except, of course, the fact that she isn’t going to office.
Every morning, the India head of global communication agency GTB changes into office attire, and is at her home workstation at 9.30am.
The remote interactions begin and stretch through the day, involving her various teams, GTB’s clients, colleagues around the world in different time zones.
The day ends usually around 7.30pm, when she returns “home" for family time, playing with her three English bulldogs, one kitten, reading and watching something on Netflix. “Perhaps the most critical job that I have right now is to keep the team spirit high, keep people engaged and positive," she said.
