Cognizant, a global IT giant, has joined the trend of returning to office work, requiring its India employees to be present thrice a week.
CEO Ravi Kumar S emphasized the importance of in-person collaboration for activities like training and team building. This move follows similar mandates from other Indian IT majors like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro. Cognizant plans to launch a hybrid work scheduling app to facilitate this transition.
The shift towards hybrid models aims to balance social interaction, innovation, and client service. With India being its largest talent base, Cognizant's decision reflects broader industry sentiments amidst economic challenges.
