Only issue is they are forcing everyone to be back at office in India. Their international counterparts are reducing office space as they are not going to force people to come to office. As a DT group every entity should follow the same rule. But Indian management is of an archaic mindset when it comes to remote working

Internal salary hike is not annual. It will be done after 2 years or even longer. There is no real connect between the team members but mostly it's because of not being able to physically work alongside them.
