01 Increased Adoption of Hybrid Work Models The shift toward hybrid work models, where employees split their time between remote and office-based work, is driving the growing demand for cloud collaboration tools. These tools enable seamless communication and collaboration regardless of location, which has become critical as companies adapt to more flexible work arrangements. By 2025, an estimated 60 to 90 million Indians are expected to work remotely, accounting for approximately 10.12% to 15.17% of India’s workforce. As a result, the need for flexible and robust cloud-based solutions that support this expanding remote workforce is becoming increasingly essential for businesses to maintain productivity and efficiency.
