I am of an opinion that irrespective of position, situation, type of work, the COVID pandemic has shaken everyone to the root. More precisely, even if the lockdown is lifted and market activity resumes, the majority of us would prefer to adopt a precautionary lifestyle.
While I am penning down thoughts together below are the numbers globally.
Coronavirus Positive Cases: 7,000,000+
Death : 400,000+

As mentioned above, approximately 7 million people have been infected with the virus, and as we can notice it is increasing still at an alarming pace in some countries. All efforts to stop the spread and casualties are proving to be minuscule against corona, be it lockdown or social distancing or preventive measures.
Gradually it is like “learn to live with it”, Corona is not going to suddenly call it a day grant independence.

Impact of COVID Pandemic on Various Industries
Some Industries are affected very badly and business might collapse while some can survive and level up. The below chart gives a very neat picture of the industry affected and the level of effect.

Irrespective of the nature of the work, we have learned to WFH in this tough time, and all the current practices of staying home, staying safe, and self-isolation have completely changed the way we meet, discuss and operate.
Starting from the software companies to schools to BPOs to yoga instructors to zumba to retail kirana shops, we can notice a difference in their modus operandi, i.e an attempt towards a contactless transaction.

Opportunities that COVID brought for many
Organizations and Individuals have adopted the change and it is depicted from 2 of the most prominent behavioural changes i.e. WFH for professionals and Digital Education for Students.
Some major companies have announced that they will operate remotely indefinitely or for at least the next year. In fact, certain companies have stated that up to 74% of their workforce may no longer need to commute to the office. This shift will save time and costs for organizations while also creating more opportunities for women.
Apart from that, we have noticed a few more changes that have hidden opportunities for many of you:
- Online shopping
- Infrastructure at home – Laptops/iPad/Devices for Educations
- Improved bandwidth and connectivity requirements
- More requirement for “Serve at Home” providers
- Online food delivery
- Quick break entertainment solutions for professionals working from home
- Digital Education – Non-core studies. Vocational courses, Training, etc.
- Short duration courses – delivered via Video and in Call sessions.
Looking at this, we can foresee that, one of the segments which will see a sharp growth is ON DEMAND APPS. that may provide a solution for the above requirements, so now the question is..

Can you start, retain, or grow a business by introducing an App?

It is a big Yes, by transitioning and adopting Digital.
If you fall in the essential services category, be it Products or Services? It can be a boon because the new normal is distancing and consumers can not live without being served.
Let us take an example of a Grocery or Milk delivery service provider. During the lockdown, they successfully generated leads and business, while traditional businesses struggled to attract foot traffic.
The growth of the digital economy ensures that online ordering and delivery apps will continue to thrive, with new services likely to emerge. Solutions will need to address the hyperlocal delivery demands in already crowded areas such as pharmacies, groceries, and food services. At the same time, new categories like fuel and alcohol might also become prevalent. It’s up to you to decide which solutions and ancillary products or services to offer, always within the boundaries of law and compliance.
If your business fits any of these categories, now is the time to implement an on-demand app to serve customers better. This will help you facilitate your customers effectively during uncertain times and restricted mobility. It also ensures that you don’t fall behind, as other essential good providers succeed in catering to customers.
