The debate over working from home has taken centre stage once again, with Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath weighing in on the discussion. In a post on X, Kamath expressed his views, stating that while remote work suits support roles well due to its structured nature, it may not be as effective for tech, business, and decision-making teams.
Kamath advocated for a hybrid model, combining remote and office work, which he believes has churned out positive results. He supported his stance by sharing a blog post by Zerodha’s CTO, Kailash Nadh, titled “The Remoteness of Remote Work” in the comments section of his post.

In the insightful blog post, Nadh highlighted the challenges faced by employees during the transition to remote work, including overtime, isolation, communication breakdowns, and burnout. He emphasised the importance of specific skill sets for remote work and noted the positive impact of the hybrid model on fostering better communication and collaboration.
However, Kamath’s viewpoint sparked a divided response on social media. While some agreed with the benefits of remote work, others raised concerns about its potential drawbacks, particularly for young graduates.
Here’s what X users thought:
The discussion surrounding remote work reflects the ongoing evolution of work culture in response to changing circumstances. While remote work offers flexibility and convenience, it also presents challenges that must be addressed to ensure productivity and employee well-being.
