Nevertheless, in 2024, things are pretty much back to normal, and it’s not only companies but employees who want to get back to the office. How would you feel if you got to work in an office that is surrounded by lush green plants?

Recently, in a press conference, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said, “We had an all-time revenue record in India, we grew very strong double digits. It’s an incredibly exciting market for us and a major focus of ours. We have a low share in a large market, and so it would seem that there’s a lot of headroom there… We see an extraordinary market—a lot of people moving into the middle class.”
