5. How is your company and brand dealing with the existing COVID-19 crisis?
COVID-19 crisis has forced many industries to rethink their strategies, increase efficiency and reduce downtime. We think it's time to discuss the principles of industry 4.0 and progress in that direction. In today’s scenario it's suited to re-address manufacturing capabilities and we plan to do it by getting multi-purpose machine tools, optimising our supply chain and introducing co-working robots to do basic machine tending operations. By doing this we do not plan to reduce the man-power but we intend to train our existing set of people to step up their skill set with the growing demand of the market.
