An overview of the combined session (200-300 words): Remote jobs are becoming popular yet remain one of the most unexplored domains. Working remotely ash its own merits and demerits that we believe deserves an open dialogue. Some take working remotely to be an easy task, while some think of it as a fun holiday. The minority of us who see t for what it really is, a taxing job with the benefit of avoiding rush hour traffic, at times fail to use the right tools to make the work fun and a learning experience.

With the increase in the remote workforce, productivity and health are two major concerns that we all should be well aware of. We need to learn the tricks of the trade to make the best use of working from home especially in the Indian landscape. where working from home is fairly a new concept that will take time to emerge as a serious work option. Discussing these issues openly amongst family, friends, as well as colleagues can he;p us increase our productivity exponentially.
