The world today is changing faster, unpredictably and with greater shifts that ever before; politically, economically, socially & technologically. COVID has created a new-normal, a state of perpetual flux and the future is uncertain. Our industry is faced with challenges in all fronts. These are testing times for us. With this change, we are experiencing disruption, we are constantly challenged in all paradigms of business and are at pivotal point in the inflection of a movement that is demanding transparency and conformance every day. As an industry deep rooted in tradition and culture and providing employment to lakhs of underprivileged households throughout our nation, we should stand as one and proudly declare our position as a truly local industry.
Technology has almost erased physical boundaries and is making the world a real playground, abound with opportunity and creating a highly interrelated and interdependentworld. But somewhere in all this chaos, there is still an element of humanity and caring that bridges the gap between the then and the now, preparing us for a better tomorrow.
