Firstly, I would like to thank you all for what you have done already to weather the ongoing corona crisis and helped the company to cope up with this situation. The year 2020 would be remembered as the year of a deadly pandemic that severely impacted our health, businesses, economy and communities across the world.
The second Covid wave has put the focus back on the economy and how it will affect the economic growth as well as the employment scenario, but as we say – “There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness”, similarly the Indian economy has started showing optimistic signs of recovery. Most of the agencies have forecasted double digit growth for India in the coming times. This auger well for our nation and its people’s prosperity.
India’s first“paperless” Budget 2021 looks hopeful and empowering as it focuses on the revival of the economy with a “Minimum Government, Maximum Governance” approach. The overall budget is reassuring, positive and has come with encouraging announcements for the healthcare, infrastructure, innovation ecosystem, support for the MSMEs, skill development, opportunities for youth and education for all etc.
