If the Indian economy were a person, her income in 2020-21 and 2021-22 would be less than what it was in 2019-20. At least, this is what the latest World Bank forecasts tell us. There is enormous, perhaps unprecedented, economic pain ahead. Both policy and politics will have to play an important role to alleviate this. While the government and policy makers are working overtime to ensure we come out of this on the right side, the private industry sector is not far behind is bringing some positive news to all of us of some new deals and transactions concluded during the pandemic.
Discussion will touch on
- What were the top 3 challenges of completing a transaction while working from home?
- Will this be the new-normal going forward if adequate processes are out in place?
- What were the important learnings from this experience?
