The pandemic has put hundreds of thousands of businesses out of action, saw others fold and decimated great swathes of the economy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, crypto thrived in this distributed environment<\/a>. As the world clamped down and everyone was forced to decentralize, the crypto world shone.<\/p>\n

Perhaps crypto, born of a crisis, is most at home in one. Working from home is where we all have spent most of this crisis.<\/p>\n

Gaurang Tovekar is the CEO and co-founder at Indorse, a blockchain-powered enterprise SaaS platform. He says the company was perfectly placed to ride out the upheaval as the entire team has never been in the same physical location since the company\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the pandemic accelerated remote work and the adoption of decentralization in the workforce globally on an unprecedented scale, it was already a norm within the crypto industry well before the pandemic struck.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He points out that although the company once had offices in Singapore and London, he\u2019d already swapped them out for hot desks in co-working spaces before the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat way, those of us who want to meet up once or twice a week and bond socially can still do so in the office while working from home the majority of the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have adapted our work styles and got used to this new normal in the last year and a half. I am sure that we as a company will not lease swanky office spaces any time soon, but rather provide better flexibility and other perks that make working from home more pleasurable for our team,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n

I'll also try to avoid restarting my RAM if possible.<\/p>\n
