Even as India reaches the halfway point in the 21-day lockdown, there isn’t much positive news in terms of a drop in cases and most experts reckon the lockdown will be extended beyond April 15. Indian startups have continued to take charge of the situation with new services and products and through partnerships. Healthcare startups have taken the front seat, and besides ensuring seamless service to its users, these startups are working with several governments to help them in whatever way they can! Many have already agreed that the pandemic will change the landscape across industries.
