Balaji Parthasarathy and Janaki Srinivasan have been awarded a research grant by the Australia India Institute, University of Melbourne, to study Work from anywhere: Accessing Indian tech talent. The research will investigate work from anywhere options for firms seeking to source, retain, and manage talent from an increasingly competitive global STEM (science, technology, engineering and management) talent pool. While the skills shortage in STEM is a global issue, the research will focus on accessing skills from India, and the role that governments and firms should play in facilitating this mode of work.
