As Edward Marshall quoted “Speed happens when people truly trust each other”.
I reaffirm my preference for an in‑office‑first model because physical proximity makes it much easier to innovate—ideas and emotions travel faster when we share the same space.
Thank God it will make my job easier to answer potential candidates who ask whether we provide WFH or not!
For the kind of problem statement in computer vision AI we solve where we help advanced AI teams, making image or video annotation completely effortless and self service is our long term vision.
People might be able to work remotely but its much easier to innovate when you work you are physically present near to each other as its easier to communicate not just ideas but emotions along with those.
I conclude that while remote work is feasible, I will continue to champion an in‑office‑first culture because the speed of innovation benefits from face‑to‑face idea and emotion exchange.
I decided to keep an in‑office‑first work model because I believe physical proximity maximises collaboration, speed of execution, and cultural cohesion for a fast‑growing startup.
I fully understand the appeal of #WFH – a candidate even declined our offer for a #FAANG role that prioritises remote work. While I respect individual choices, I see tight‑knit teamwork, creative problem‑solving and shared energy thriving best when we’re together in the same office.
