May 1, 2020Team AgnelorajeshBusiness

While most developed countries are reeling under the attack of the coronavirus, there are some smaller or less developed countries that have been successful in containing the pandemic to an extent. Whether this is enough or whether more can be done, is a debatable matter. What we need to understand is that there are several lessons we can learn from them to know how they have bounced back from the crisis. From what we hear, venture capital activity has been resurgent at a time when the world is struggling to stay on its feet. This means that business is optimistic…

Two’s a company, but three is a crowd. That’s going to pop into our minds every time we step into the crowded elevator of our building or a crowded office conference room. Things will never be the same again. The COVID-19 pandemic will be deeply ingrained in our minds for a long time to come. Social distancing will be top of mind for everyone. Naturally, people will get choosier about where they live and where they work. Since lockdowns will be prevalent until the pandemic ceases to take its toll, home is where you will be for a longer time.…

Today, consumers’ demands have changed drastically due to the pandemic and the resulting lockdown.

COVID-19: How to Effectively Communicate with Clients with Empathy

April 27, 2020Team AgnelorajeshBusiness

Most corporates are busy blasting emails to customers about the latest updates on the coronavirus front, or how to wash their hands, or how to wear masks.

This is a phase when one needs to be more sensitive and show empathy not only towards the client but also towards others such as retailers, suppliers, investors, etc. When your email is full of every company telling you what to do, this leaves a bad taste about such brands. All of these people are going through tough times, and they will appreciate it…

COVID-19: Make The Best Use of Time

April 23, 2020Team AgnelorajeshBusiness

All of us have a few hours of extra time on our hands following the lockdowns or the new work from home rules. That’s because we don’t have to do a lot of things we used to do earlier – getting ready for work, traveling, getting stuck in traffic jams, etc. It’s nice to have a breather and spend more time with the family. But in addition to doing that, let’s try to do a lot more. Don’t waste this precious time that has been added to our lives all of a sudden. Every minute we have is an opportunity,…

COVID-19: Is Home-Hospitalization the Solution?

April 22, 2020Team AgnelorajeshBusiness

With the pandemic showing no signs of slowing down, there is an urgent need for more hospital beds across the world. Hospitals are falling ruefully short of funds and space at the same time, not to mention the shortage of health workers. Although India has made a valiant effort by converting schools, colleges, and even trains into hospitals, there is yet another idea that can help on this front. Treat the patient at home We can encourage the treatment of the patient at home whenever the patient’s house is big enough to accommodate a separate room that can be cordoned…
