In this episode of Build Remotely, Darshan explores one of the biggest decisions founders face today: building a remote team versus an in-person team. With almost 40% of the global workforce now working remotely, a 25% jump in just six years, Darshan shares the real pros and cons of both models.
From cost savings, flexibility, and access to global talent to challenges like recruitment, culture, and communication, he breaks it all down with real-world examples from scaling his own team of 100+ across four countries. You’ll also hear how companies like HubStaff have grown to 8- and 9-figure levels fully remote, and why the future of work may not be about choosing one side, but finding the right balance for your business.
Whether you’re a founder just starting to build a team or a leader considering a shift in your setup, this episode gives you the mindset, strategies, and leadership tools to scale smarter, not harder.
