We don't know how many companies will require on-site presence.

Some might just allow WFH permanently.

E.g. Twitter already announced that, see: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/may/12/twitter-c... .

We've seen this before with companies that created satellite campuses to take advantage of cheaper labor due to cost of living differences.

When problems arise, only those local to the headquarters survive the layoffs.

Then move. Plenty of remote IT jobs available in Mumbai. Work from home is amazing!
