Executive Summary
COVID - 19 is a pandemic that has affected millions of people globally; it has also become a
global health and economic crisis due to its unprecedented speed and duration. It is the
most significant worldwide event that has changed human attitude, behavior and forced
businesses to respond.
Most people cannot imagine a life after COVID-19, where people could meet, hug each
other, travel to their dream destinations, and buy toilet paper without fighting other
people. The reality is things have changed, and so has consumer behavior, even after the
virus will recede, consumer behavior will take a long time to come back to normal.
Traveling with apprehensions, maintaining social distances with your loved ones, and
disrupted supply chain is the new normal.
While people all around the globe are coping up with the monotonous and changed
lifestyle, businesses throughout the world are understanding the volatility of the market

Preparing Your

Post Pandemic World
PREPARING FOR POST PANDEMIC WORLD #FATBITTECH
The curve of increased cases per day is on the rise, but some parts of Asia are easing the
lockdown. We are still witnessing the global economy to be frozen and dramatically
restructuring the economic and social order. In the post-pandemic world, CEOs,
business people, and aspiring entrepreneurs will be debating about the next normal
and how shapely it will diverge from the previous lifestyle.
Many leaders have anticipated a radical shift in the profit and dynamics related to
competition post crisis. Since the changes will not be homogenous across the market,
leaders have to focus on more fast local response. During the pandemic (COVID-19),
they saw value in local experimentation, thus providing tailored solutions to their region,
local teams have to be strategically innovative.
While some business leaders are arguing the crisis has not brought anything new, on
the other hand, it is accelerating the trends which were picking pace in the past. Let us
uncover some of the most common strategies market leaders are adopting for a
post-pandemic world.

varied months; subsequently, the impact and seriousness depended on the number of
cases and how the government-controlled the impact.
A highly broad term ecommerce marketplace experienced the same impact as any other
sector. The pandemic has made people's behavior change towards the ecommerce
marketplace, and this trend is going to stay even post-pandemic. Many ecommerce
businesses that invest ambitiously and timely launch their online business will emerge
as market leaders. Similar to the case study of Alibaba and JD.com, the businesses which
make the right decision now and invest in the right technologies will see tremendous
opportunity post-pandemic.
Throughout the globe, E-commerce players are seeing a surge in volume and are doing
everything to retain their newly acquired customers by offering loyalty programs,
subscription models, promotions, and expansion of the product range. The competition is
intensifying day by day with consumers using price engines and referral sites to find the
best deals online.
"Panic Shopping" term was coined for some commodities sold in high numbers in brick
and mortar stores and online stores. While few niches have picked up momentum, others
have lost sales entirely for a long time.

Sectors That Will Take
Longer To Recover
After The Pandemic
THE LOSING TEAM #FATBITTECH
TRANSPORTATION - Global transportation is making the world smaller each

1 day. The pandemic has spread in a local-global-local pattern across the
globe. Started in a city of China, Wuhan spread locally between people. It
moved to international borders as there were no restrictions, and since the
restrictions have been imposed, it is being spread locally. To minimize the
spread from country to country, governments imposed a ban on
transportation. The pressure to reduce or shut down transportation services
has led to the worst-case scenario. The speed of the impact has been felt in
airlines, railways, local subways, and the bus system as a free-fall decline in
customers.
The transport manufacturing industry, like autos, airlines, and other vehicles,
experienced flat or lower unit sales before during the crisis. Commercial
airlines have announced a massive drop in passenger revenue,
subsequently eliminating domestic and global capacity.
Similarly, the Shared Mobility sector, like ride-hailing (Uber, Lyft),

Micro-mobility (Bike Sharing), car sharing, shuttle service, has had a massive
impact on the business. In some countries, this sector is seeing a temporary
spike as people are shifting from public transport. Still, majorly all across the
globe, their operations are suspended or eliminated as the demand has
reduced significantly.
Reboot
Transportation 2.0
The pandemic has offered industry giants a life-time
opportunity to reimagine the transportation system and
make it more equitable, resilient, and seamless. Now is the
time to integrate more supportive policies and technologies
that will improve the experience of users. Transport
managers have always agreed to work from home as it is
ideal for the urban economy and can minimize congestion.

ADAPTING TO A NEW SET OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR #FATBITTECH
The importance of Ecommerce has been felt by businesses when, for offline brick and mortar, it
is becoming hard to survive. Consumer behavior is changing because of the virus, different
norms that the government has made, and also generally for the way consumers prefer to
shop. Businesses have to re-think their strategies that revolve around the consumer
experience. Also, some niche will be entirely off the grid for a long time, or at least until there is
a cure for the virus.
HOW CORONAVIRUS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING IN THE FUTURE WILL AFFECT

CONSUMER SPENDING
The spending habits of consumers have been altered due to the pandemic. Consumer
spending is one of the most important driving forces for global economic growth. Some of the
factors that have impacted consumer spending are consumer confidence, unemployment
level, and/or the cost of living. The pandemic has also impacted where the consumer is
planning to spend his money and the sector, which is rising during this time.
Consumers are still grappling the uncertainty amidst the pandemic, which has made the
buying experience more erratic. One clear thing is that consumers have reduced their
spending on non-essential items. As mentioned above, people have shifted their spending
from non-essential to essential items like grocery, pharmacy, etc.

MITIGATING SUPPLY CHAIN AND OPERATIONS RISKS
As many Asian Countries have started their recovery stage, businesses are still understanding how to function
during such times. Some of the many challenges that have impacted the retailers' supply chain are:
BARRICADED LOGISTICS - Transporting goods on long-distance or internationally has been affected due to border
closures or Shut down of logistics hubs.
SUPPLIER CONSTRAINTS - Supplier, are not able to maintain reliability as factories are closed and unable to get the
workforce needed.
BROKEN SUPPLY CHAIN - Due to ease in lockdown in many countries, a company may plan to re-open their
operations. However they are unable to function properly due to raw material missing and longer procurement time.
DISRUPTION IN DEMAND - Changes in consumer preference will mitigate a spike in some products while other
products will see a lack of demand ultimately.
Embracing these challenges as they are here to stay for a long time and understanding how to rebalance
the entire process is essential.
REBALANCING SUPPLY CHAIN AND MANAGEMENT
SMBs have to focus on becoming recession-proof by understanding the product categories in-depth.
Creating a low price variant of essential goods that are either popular during the pandemic or
in-betweener category. Businesses also have to broaden their supply base and multi-source all critical
supplies in case the supply chain breaks. Assess your supply chain and logistical footprint to increase
flexibility, resilience, and capabilities in the long run and accelerate the role of automation in the
supply chain and in stores to facilitate resilience.
BOOST YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE
Use your store resources to make the experience of online shopping better for the customers. Let your
sales representative or any other resource manage your customer queries on social media. Integrate
gamification for the consumers to interact with the brand better and partner with influencers to reach
your audience directly. Use data to influence the newly acquired customers by nurturing them.
ACCELERATE ORGANIZATIONAL FITNESS
Consolidate efforts to achieve a leaner organization coming out of the crisis. Assess the location and
profitability of your store network and understand the risk of store closure. This is the time to accelerate
automation and outsourcing. Overhaul the operational model to differentiate the capabilities to
reorganize the growth.
GET READY FOR TOMORROW
Identify small players as potential merger and acquisition while examining opportunities to verticalize
the business's supply chain. Ensure that you are ready for future disasters and set up a home office and
digitize your business. Also, move towards converting your business to an asset-light firm.

ONLINE GROCERY AND FOOD ORDERING
While the online grocery industry is seeing an upward trend from last year as it grew 22% in 2019, propelled by high
demand during the COVID-19, online grocery will surge 40% in 2020. This sector experienced "Panic Shopping" of
essential commodities and stockpiling of groceries and supplies for almost a year.
The predicted growth of 2020 was doubled in the first four months of the pandemic. People have stocked up essential
items, and this trend will not subside after the pandemic. Offline grocery businesses seeing the trend during the
lockdown period captured the opportunity to launch a single or multivendor grocery business.
There is a section of the population who are not accustomed to cooking at home, which is why the food ordering and
delivery website saw a massive surge. Primarily because of the measures these businesses are taking to ensure the
optimum level of safety and cleanliness. Temperature checking of delivery agents, cleanliness and sanitized restaurants,
regulation in dine-in, and contactless delivery have all contributed to the growth of the food ordering and delivery sector.
Yes. There is a surge in demand. You

E-LEARNING SECTOR
The schools and other educational institutions are closed globally due to the spreading of
COVID-19 infection at a fast pace. Parents being concerned about the half-left curriculum
was the primary reason for the rise of e-learning platforms. Due to the sudden closure and
contagiousness of the virus, the popularity of eLearning will remain intact the
post-pandemic era. The educational institutions have to shift to new trends.
Even before COVID-19, there was already high growth and adoption in education technology,
with global tech investments reaching US$18.66 billion in 2019. The overall market for online
education projected to reach $350 Billion by 2025.
Regarding Coronavirus and the popularity of eLearning, some believe that the rapid growth
towards e-learning will result in low user experience due to no training, insufficient
bandwidth, and less preparation. Leaders believe the new hybrid model of education will
emerge with significant benefits.
Few sectors have been positively impacted by this,
so our focus has to be on acceleration. Almost 1.5

learning is the only option for the time being. We

ONLINE RENTAL
Like the online retail industry, online rental has also been picking up in the last
few years. Many innovative business models have emerged in this industry, thus
making it widely accessible among people. This business is trending because
people are becoming more and more aware of the environment and want to
reduce their carbon footprint. They prefer to rent a commodity rather than
spending extra money and buying it.
Technology has contributed a lot in this industry, people use to rent items offline
too, but it has significant challenges that are becoming difficult to curb. The
online rental has reduced those challenges and has made it easy for people to
rent commodities that they do not need for a longer duration.
We built the product and site to be really modular and also targetable by region because
you're right, the world will open up on different schedules with different restrictions and

We're also building other pieces continuously, some in direct response to the crisis,
including a hub that communicates to our guests and hosts what's happening with travel
and what happens after the storm.
As a global company, we're pretty used to [adapting to change]. Of course, this is a different

THE ADOPTION OF DIGITAL SOLUTIONS #FATBITTECH
Technology is one thing which is saving many enterprises from losing their business. If businesses
invest in the right type of technology, they will be able to retrieve themselves post-pandemic. These
are some of the technologies which are relevant now more than ever.
CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS - The government has been taking measures to increase social distancing
awareness and reduce physical contact as much as possible, resulting in a rise of ecommerce in some
segments like grocery, which has experienced panic shopping in both offline and online worlds. Efforts
are also being made to eliminate human contact, and the touching currency has triggered the rise of
contactless payments.
SOME STATS THAT DEPICT THE RELEVANCE AND POPULARITY OF CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS:
In Korea, mobile payments grew by 30% in January and February 2020.

In Sweden, cash transactions accounted for 2% of total transactions.
In the U.K., Debit cards and credit cards are the two most popular payment methods.
Germans like to pay via PayPal and open the invoice system.
Even before the pandemic hit, the world was going more towards digital technology for payment
methods. Ecommerce has been a contributing factor in people becoming more inclined towards
online payments, thus the rise of new businesses in payment methods.
Digital payments via card or apps are so popular and widely accepted
that consumers have stopped carrying cash altogether. The range of
digital payment methods is increasing. E-Wallets can be used together
with the mobile payment system, allowing people to pay directly from
their smartphones. In the pre-pandemic world,
people were accustomed to

similar to the jetson-era.
Shoppers enter the Amazon Go Store and scan their application, and since
then, they are known to the store. Though it doesn't wipe out the
possibility of shop-lifting, security cameras and guards also don't prove to
be 100% effective in this scenario.

Using Drones to deliver packages have seen the most significant advantage
during the pandemic, as it makes the human contact with the parcel very
less. Grocery stores, food ordering, and retail stores prefer this fulfillment
option as they do not have to depend on logistics for their delivery.
ADVANCED ROBOTICS- Coronavirus has severely impacted the supply chain,

fulfillment, and logistics and has shaken the economy, revealing many vulnerabilities
to the globe. The increasing pressure of ecommerce is putting extra strain on the
supply chain, which is already strained to the maximum level.
Now is the time, businesses are moving towards planning long-term and short term
strategies to improve fulfillment and logistics; many of them are considering to
implement automation and robotics in the warehouses. This will help eliminate the
risk of slowdown or shut down if the workforce is wholly or partly unavailable.
Labour and talent acquisition has always been an issue for the businesses who were
struggling to maintain a warehouse, manage inventory, and supply chain. To reduce
the spread of the virus, robots can be trusted for different industries across the globe.
Businesses that are using Drones to deliver during the pandemic - When the entire
state is on lockdown, people are wondering how to make their essential items
delivered from one place to another. Zipline, a California based Drone company, has
begun delivering COVID-19 test samples to two most significant cities that are Accra,
the national capital, and Kumasi - the country's second-largest city. It is also the first
time that drones have been used to deliver Covid-19 test samples. The new delivery
service allows the government to closely monitor and respond to the spread of the
disease in some of the country's most remote areas.
