“In the wake of the pandemic, many companies have mentioned that their employees would continue to work from home until June 2021.

Saurabh Garg, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer of NoBroker.com said in a press statement, “The work from a home culture has helped demand spread more evenly across the cities of Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad and suburbs are seeing a surge in demand. This is a good change as it has helped price correction in a couple of localities and people do not have to compromise on space, size and locality in order to stay close to their workplace”.
