Abstract: This research attempts to measure empirically the benefits of going online for working professionals and students during pandemic time. The working professionals benefit more from going online as the adjustment process is much higher. They have higher satisfaction, greater personal time and flexibility from working from home, and they travel less. Because of the above reasons, the working professional has a high preference for working from home. Their work efficiency is also higher during pandemic (due to WFH) than before the pandemic. The students displayed lower efficiency, satisfaction, personal time with online education and overall fared better with regular classes. However, the students showed some preference towards online education and enjoyed some flexibility in their schedule.
