Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath on why WFH can’t work for everyone: ‘Big gaps in…’

Sharing the the impact of work from home on employee collaboration with teammates in Zerodha, co-founder Nithin Kamath said that the working style is not the best example of ‘one size fits all’. In his recent social media post, Nithin Kamath said eventhough WFH worked well for support roles but it was detrimental for “tech, business, and decision making teams” because of “big gaps in remote communication.”

“All of us at @zerodhaonline went fully remote during the pandemic lockdown in 2020. While it’s been great for some, it hasn’t been for others. In this post, K explains why it didn’t work for everybody at Zerodha,” wrote Nithin Kamath on X. 

While elucidating the pros of WFH, Nithin Kamath wrote, “Work from home works well for support roles given the structured nature of the work.” At the same time, he drew attention towards the detrimental impact of WFH on communication for tech, business, and decision making teams.

“So about ~10% (100+ people) of the core team started coming to the office 3 days a week starting a few months ago. The change has been dramatically positive to say the least,” he added.
