The canteen situation
Infosys and TCS quickly sent out notices asking employees to pack their own meals.
Cognizant closed some of its food counters in Pune, while Wipro paused fast food at its Hinjewadi office.
For many young professionals who rely on office canteens for a decent meal, this has been a real hassle.
India imports most of its LPG through the Strait of Hormuz, right where the conflict is happening.
