How are you managing sales and service in the post lockdown period?
Our operations started on 25th April 2020 after getting all mandatory approvals from the concerned government authorities.  It was tough as things were still under lockdown at large across India. We knew things will take time, but operations were started with an objective to boost the morale of our channel partners and employees and it proved to be a positive step as things slowly started opening in the market for the fenestration industry.  Our production and logistics team at the plant has been adhering to all safety measures as per government guidelines.  We are pleased to see the market is gaining some confidence.

In this modern world,  we have plenty of virtual mediums helpful in providing technical and sales services as travelling is still not permitted in most part of the country.  This work culture is being termed as “new normal” and we can see everyone is adapting it at large.
