The corona crisis has crippled the indian auto industry like never before. Here are some thoughts on a revival plan

Counter Covid-19 – Road To Recovery

Out of adversity comes opportunity” said Benjamin Franklin, and I think we too need to turn this crisis into a “chance to change” for India.

Now onwards, the eras in earth’s history will have two new ages or periods, BC (Before COVID-19) and AC (After Covid-19). In my view the world before and after Covid-19 will be very different. Many people are wondering when things will return to normal, and when we will resume our usual lives. Some think it will be after the lockdown. Others say once a way to cure those infected with the virus emerges. There is also a view that things will only become normal after we get a vaccine for COVID-19.
