Remote Jobs and Companies Hiring Remotely in India

What's the Status of Remote Jobs in India?

There was a time when India wasn’t caught up in the game of having remote jobs, but those days have changed. Research suggests that around 58% of the office-goers in India work from home at least once a week.

International Workplace Group (IWG) conducted a study among 18,000 professionals working in a variety of sectors from over 96 countries, and discovered that two-thirds of the global employees work from home every week.

How popular is remote work across India?

The study found that over half the employees (53%) in India work remotely for at least half a week or more. 1 of 10 employees work away from the main location of their office five times every week. The survey also reported that 40% of the employees feel that their companies are wasting a lot of the unused space in the office.

More than half the employees in India reportedly prefer to work from home. In fact, a survey even reported that 53% of them wouldn’t mind a decrease in their salary if it means they could work from home. 48% of the employees admitted that they would prefer switching jobs just to achieve a little more flexibility in the work scenario.

73% of the employees whose companies don’t offer remote work options said that they would prefer if their company changed the current policies, and 42% of the employees said that they have even tried to look for other jobs just so that they would have the option of working from home. Workers have also admitted that if given the chance, they would choose to work from home at least two days a week.

Why do Indian companies prefer to hire remotely?

Employers in India today are constantly looking to adapt remote work policies in order to bring in and keep the best talent, and almost every company is investing in technologies that can facilitate remote work opportunities, such as laptops, video conferencing tools, group messaging apps like Slack, and so on.

By working remotely, workers in India get to have a global exposure, earn more money, and also achieve the work-life balance they crave. This leads to less stress and more productivity, which in turn benefits the organizations as well.

There now exist several sectors that hire remotely in India. Some of these sectors are content writing/content editing/content development, copywriting and proofreading, business process management, information technology, digital marketing, and mobile app development.

Of the numerous companies hiring remotely all over India, some of the popular names include HGS, DirectApplyOnline.com, Emizentech Pvt. Ltd., Envyus Media Pvt Ltd., Expertrec, Kraftivo, and Attify.
