As Covid-19 positive cases continue to rise, the multifold impact of the deadly virus is as mind boggling for business stakeholders as it is for health experts. It is evident that consumer spending is at an all time low due to panic among the masses and the absence of logistics and mobility on the streets which further affects the stock market giving rise to a market with lesser liquidity.
In order to curb the aggressive takeovers amid the current Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian government has revised the foreign direct investment (FDI) rules. What are the next steps for the startup ecosystem amid the wider impact of Covid-19?
