The current pandemic we are experiencing was disruptive for most businesses. It was specifically harsh on
start-ups or small businesses delivering them a body blow that was big enough to shake them up. Brutal for
these young start-ups since they have limited cash reserves for managing steep slumps such as this. In
India, life in the pandemic was even more demanding as the Country experienced the toughest lockdown,
compared to anywhere else in the world.
The Indian Government did announce an economic
package to help businesses to remain standing and
to revive the economy. For the young start-ups and
SMEs the government announced loan products,
right shifting of interest / return of capital,
statutory dues, filing of returns, amongst many
other relaxations. Government Departments like
BIRAC, announced grants for start-ups focussed on
innovation to fight the COVID challenge. And to be
fair, Industry responded to the Hon Prime Minister
Modi’s clarion call to fight the Pandemic. The
Indian Venture Capital Funds, Corporates and
Foundations all announced grants for young startups
innovating for the COVID 19 Pandemic. It was a
fight fought together and now we are seeing India
starting to emerge out of the COVID tunnel faster than
any other country. Interestingly, it is India which is
now helping deliver the world the much needed
vaccine. The Serum Institute has become the largest
vaccine manufacturer in the world. It stands today as
an icon for Indian entrepreneurship, its resilience, its
risk taking ability and for going global.
India is the world’s third-largest start-up ecosystem
and it surely is the fastest growing. Companies have
grown exponentially not despite, but because of the
Pandemic. Quickly adapting to leverage upon the
changing consumer behaviour, swivelling to cater to
their needs. These companies underlined the fact that
focus on the market and the customer ensure that
they grow.
