The COVID-19 pandemic has left everyone unprepared for the currently facing challenges. Across the globe, this epidemic is being treated differently, as for India,the officials regulated a countrywide lockdown. This might be proved as the right decision during this situation. However, it has started a downward spiral of our already struggling economy.
Considering the fact, on May 3, India entered into the Lockdown 3.0 with some relaxations. According to the new guidelines, the private offices will resume operation with 33% of total employees as per requirement. Although, it would be a fallacy to assume that once the danger is averted, things will revert back to normalcy.
No matter how predictable and difficult the times are everyone is doing their best to stem the spread of viruses. The last two phases of the lockdown were successful with a 100% cooperation of the private sector. Many players in the private sector like Industrial Metal Powders (I), Pvt. Ltd has started their activities as am essential commodities by following the SOP’s published by government of India.
