Change In Perspective - Need Of The Hour Post Pandemic For Business Growth
The global economy has been stressed beyond words on account of Covid and the prospect of returning to normal, pre covid mode seems far-fetched. The pandemic has exposed businesses of their inconsistencies and their capacity to adapt to changing trends on a global scale. It is a historical truth that every recession is always followed by a boom in industrial growth with new techniques and approaches. This Pandemic has exposed your businesses shortcomings as follows:
- Inefficient strategic approach – Your business model failed to adapt to demanding situation

Treating Covid as a “blessing in disguise” to change your business model seems the only way to move forward. One may not know how strong they are unless “Being Strong” is the only option they have and covid has put every business in this emergency mode.
Lets Decipher the Impact Of Covid To Prepare Our Fail-safe Approach for Future
The traditional business decline is defined either by the shortage in supply or the demand but covid has achieved both simultaneously.
Demand: The ability to buy has decreased in the past 18 months due to Covid. The social distancing rule and the fear of getting exposed to covid has reduced the consumers to venture out to buy anything. The main impact is the pathetic financial status of the consumers to spend on goods, even on essential commodities.
Supply: The production industry has largely failed due to continuous lock downs due to covid. With the already existing goods not moving out of their premises due to zero demands and their investment capital is stagnant without production activities, it is literally chaos into play. Further without a clear cut look into the future of future waves of Covid no one is willing to take risky maneuvers in their businesses.
