Hey Neo, I though you are from Europe or from middle-east Asia. Ok!

What you say is right Neo. Most of the IT companies in India expect rather require the employees to come to office and work. Working from home is really an exception and needs to go via approval process by the manager and others - what am saying strictly applies to service based companies and not all the IT companies in general.

When it comes to core product companies ( which are very few in India ) there is no such concept of 'mandatory presence in office and working', 'strict dress code'. I work in a product company where there is no such constraints. Whatever suits the employee in turn showing great productivity will work out here. We have an employee who sits with his laptop in Cafetaria most of the time, sometimes you can't different whether he is working for the company or for the cafetaria but that helps him Smilie

But I prefer going to office and work ( you can't change the usual mind set suddenly ; ) ) because the face to face interaction helps a lot for design reviews, code reviews, general work related problems in the team and boost the team morale as well.

Also, working from home saves me around 4 hours in commute everyday that is one great reason I work from home more often but not daily
