I wondered when this narrative would start. Companies want employees back in the office, and are starting to dial up the fear to do it.

This story seems based on a comment a CEO made and nothing more than that. It does highlight real issues with remote work, such as what is it that your are paying a us worker for vs a worker from a cheap labor market?

If this worked, they would have done it in 1995. I know, because they (and by they I mean absolutely every single living corporate executive) tried. Again, and again, and again.

Indian IT sector has grown dramatically since 1995 so it works to some extent.

Also relevantly, Indians are much more willing to move back to India today, where an IT job (especially with an American company), will allow them a much better standard of living than what they have in the US.
