What makes work from home appealing? Is it the easy access to home-cooked food, the comfort of sitting in a chair without the risk of it sliding suddenly backwards or knowing that you are not just another white-collar employee sitting in a cubicle? Whatever it is, there is no denying that most professionals desire their home to be their office. Not only is this preference clear, but nearly 70 per cent of the respondents in the India Today Mood of the Nation (MOTN) poll agree that remote working would make them more productive. This figure is higher amongst the young, with 75 per cent of those in the 18-24 age group wanting to work from home.
