We do expect our clients from the unorganised sector to plan well and research their expansion and execution.

Physical retail took a big hit due to the lockdown. Mounting costs and zero returns led to the shutdown of many struggling ventures. Online retail got a big boost and many retailers opted to go online. Many retailers are looking into newer models involving grocery food and provisions.
