How TCS decision is a big safeguard for our economy

TCS has decided that a majority of their workforce, ~3.5 lakhs (75%) employees in India will work from home. This is well above the industry average of 20% today. The new business model - "25/25" requires much less office space. "We don't believe that we need more than 25% of our workforce at our facilities in order to be 100% productive," - TCS's chief operating officer NG Subramaniam.

This is brave and great move by TCS to help contribute towards the economy and save the country in coming years from a potential economic recession. This decision allows employees to work from their home town / village. I see two-fold benefit from this decision, on one hand they save income towards rent and additional living expenses and simultaneously significantly increases their purchasing power. 

I believe these tough and bold decisions should also follow suit by software companies and financial firms. Similarly, Govt. offices should also plan for work from home. Currently only 33% below than under secretary level employees are attending the offices on rotation basis. Under this system government is claiming functioning is not being effected then why not later?

This system can be completed under Bhagidari policy "Will to Do." This will avoid traffic jams, save commute time and natural resources. In the end, our country will definitely be much more clean and green .
