people use this feature and stay at home.
Checkups

significant rise in calls and queries from the members of the LGBTQIA+
community and many who were dealing with depression sought help online.
Bringing people together
digitally
The fact is the digital world brought people
together, not only to fight a pandemic but to closely introspect the things
that are generically taken for granted. It opened new dimensions, built newer
perspectives and made us realize the importance of relationships, platonic or
otherwise. It also aided the economy in its survival by not letting India go
into a complete shutdown.
The future
As one can see, AI has been saving several
industries and corporate houses. If used judiciously, it has the potential to
harness newer paradigms for future.
For instance, Jharkhand 's initiative to
create 'Co-Bots', high tech robotic devices that can transfer medicines and
food to COVID-19 patients, is one of stellar examples.
Digital India
In the past few months, governments, businesses and other
industries have witnessed the power of online platforms as it helped companied
to sell and consumers to shop, pay bills, converse, entertain, educate and
collaborate digitally
As per a Morgan Stanley report,
India in a post-COVID-19 world, “could see a sharp increase in its shopping
population, online penetration in grocery could finally inflect as e-commerce
and new entrants make a bigger push in this category, digitization of small and
medium business (SMB) enterprises could take centre-stage (and) investments in
segments such as gaming, edtech, healthtech, and cloud could increase.”
Conclusion
When we become open to change,
we do see many options around us. Let us embrace the digital platform to grow
digitally, thus remaining independent always.
