Industry to face 'new normal' once Covid-19 crisis ends: Suresh Narayanan
The ongoing crisis due to the Covid-19 outbreak will change the business environment altogether. Once the crisis gets over, the industry is set to face a ‘new normal’, said Suresh Narayanan, chairman and managing director, Nestle India.
Apart from adapting to changes like remote workplaces and stricter hygiene measures at manufacturing units, the crisis may alter the way brands communicate with their consumers, forever.
“In terms of brand campaigns alone, advertising which reflected an ‘out of home’ experience, may pave the way for more ‘in home consumption moments’. Ways of working are also expected to evolve, as the long lockdown periods have dispelled many of the notions associated with effectiveness issues while working from home”, he said.

Covid-19 woes: IndiGo to discontinue on-board meal service, says CEO
India's largest airline IndiGo will fill its airport buses at 50 per cent capacity when service resumes. The airline will also discontinue on-board meal services, CEO Ronojoy Dutta told employees on Friday.
These along with frequent deep cleaning of aircraft are part of the multiple changes that the airline will do its protocols in order to keep crew and passenger crew safe when the airline starts operating again.
India had imposed a 21-day lockdown on 25 March — one of the most drastic measure any country has taken to control the outbreak of the coronavirus. The government is planning to restart in a phased manner which will mean that only a few routes will start in first stage after the lockdown is removed.
