As the world prepares to emerge from the lockdown imposed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses are still struggling to recover from its after-effects. The lockdown led to a massive economic disruption with hundreds of businesses forced to shut, and the continued safety measures have made remote working and digital operations the new normal. As a result, businesses will now have to make a rapid transition from offline to online, which requires a completely new approach to business strategy.
In the post-pandemic world, services that relied heavily or entirely on customer mobility have been the worst-hit. Transportation services like Uber, fitness centers, and the tourism industry, for instance, have taken heavy losses and – in many cases – have permanently closed operations. Other businesses have been compelled to reduce their workforce, give up their physical office addresses and restrict client interactions to digital conversations.
A Google meet Webinar on “BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PANDEMIC” was arranged on 17th August 2020 at 6 pm onwards by the Department of Commerce (Morning Section), The Bhawanipur Education Society College, in collaboration with IQAC.
The webinar was opened with welcome remarks by the organising secretary Prof. Sreyasi Ghosh. Prof. Minakshi Chaturvedi introduced the webinar and the areas of discussion. One of the panelists, Mr. Bodhi Brata Das, Director, Phoenix Consulting said, “We learnt a great deal about, shift in consumer psychology and that we need to be be better equipped to fight the pandemic!”
The other panelist for the session was Mr.Pratyaya Chakrabarti, Sr. Vice President – Contract Manufacturing, VVF India Ltd. Both highlighted that there is no playbook, no instruction manual, no treatise to guide us through these uncharted waters. But there are new opportunities and tactics that are uniquely in play right now and the business need to make the most of these opportunities to survive.
The webinar was followed by question and answer round by the members. Overall, the session was interactive and enriching.
