Startups that offer solutions to make remote work productive and collaborative in the post-Covid-19 era are increasingly finding top funds as backers, which are also funding startups that enhance human touch in the absence of informal workplace interactions.

According to industry<\/a> tracker Traxcn, startups offering solutions in the remote workspace have received more than $1.6 billion in funding between April and November globally.

“We are far from things going back to normal - and we don’t know what that new normal will be. Many changes induced by Covid-19 will be here for the long haul, and now is the time to pick up the thread on technologies that can help us adapt to these changes,” said
Rajan Anandan<\/a>, managing director of Sequoia Capital<\/a> India.

People appreciate the flexibility of working from home, but the component of human touch and connection is missing and needs to be reintroduced, Anandan said.

Recently, Sequoia’s accelerator programme Surge 04 invested $1.7 million in a remote employee engagement startup Let’s Dive that eliminates isolation by bringing teams together and recreating a social space.

Since March, startups that offer solutions in the video conferencing and event solutions space have caught the eye of investors.

Cloud-based offline event management platform Hubilo raised $4.5 million led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Sequoia Capital India invested $12 million in Bengaluru-based virtual event platform Airmeet.

As remote work takes hold, startups that help companies find quality talent are also in demand.

Remote hiring platform PepperContent received $4.2 million as part of its Series A funding, led by
Lightspeed India<\/a> in October. Index Ventures and Sequoia Capital invested $35 million in Remote.com, which helps companies manage payroll across borders.

Work from home<\/a> (WFH) is a cat that cannot be put back in the bag again now that it's out,” said Hemant Mohapatra, partner at Lightspeed India.

Mohapatra believes that
work from home<\/a> has increased productivity and employees’ overall happiness quotient.

“Many companies in the US are now offering permanent WFH for this very reason, and this trend will find its way to India given the problems of commute are much bigger here,” he added.

As the work from home model evolves, device management for remote teams, security for remote teams, and software platforms that are hyper-personalized for different global virtual events are other areas that will need to be addressed, according to Sequoia’s Anandan.

Top executives at these funds believe that a subset of these startups is here to stay and those that address how human factors play into the rapidly evolving world of technology will be the ones that succeed in the long term.

To fulfil the need for informal interaction, US-based workplace social network Fishbowl launched in India in November to tap into the country’s burgeoning professional workforce.

The platform seeks to create virtual hallways for employees.

The startup counts 90% of professionals at Boston Consulting Group and 50% at Deloitte amongst its users in the United States. This year it raised $5.3 million led by GGV Capital, which has backed Slack and Glassdoor.

“We feel this is the perfect time to enter India as people are working from home and are looking for mediums to have conversations with other professionals virtually,” said Matt Sunbulli, cofounder and CEO of Fishbowl.

Earlier this year, New York-based product accelerator WeKan turned its gaze to India with an investment focus on the “future of work” space.

In an era where the future work is still uncertain, its cofounder, Sathya Nellore, said businesses were looking to implement tools that make remote work faster, smarter, collaborative and fun.
