Impact of Covid-19 on the Business – Quote By Arpit Chhabra

At IoTfy we are deploying a futuristic approach to mitigate the impact of the 21 days lockdown, on the business. Given we are a products’ company, we have already started focussing on the next set of features/products that are in the pipeline. The idea is to utilise this time well and invest in future product conception and planning during this period, where most businesses are trying to focus on the recovery aspect.

To that end, we have already started planning two quarters ahead and are gearing for the spike in demand IoTfy is expected to witness from the brand partners, who have suffered huge losses on account of the global supply chains being disrupted due to Covid19 outbreak. 

Before the compulsory lockdown was announced, we had already started witnessing higher than usual inbound interest from consumer durable brands and were in active discussions with some of them. This is indicative of a larger industry-wide trend demonstrating the inclination of brands towards localisation of IoT, to avoid being faced with a similar unfortunate situation in the future. We are expecting a relative acceleration in orders once normalcy restores and businesses are back to usual, and are currently preparing for that.
