In his now-viral Twitter thread, Mr Aatrey said that two years of the pandemic shattered long-held beliefs about remote work. "In the last 2 years, new ways of working have shattered long-held beliefs that virtual work wasn't possible," he wrote.

He went on to explain the 'work from anywhere' policy that will be applicable to all 1,700 employees of the company. "Leaders need to acknowledge that employees' psychological and physical safety is more important than their location of work," wrote Mr Aatrey.
