Interestingly, in the period of lay off (6 weeks) from his previous job he has completed an online course on “Entrepreneurial Ventures”. He has been able to learn the concepts of innovation, startups and E-commerce etc. during this course.At the moment he considers himself stuck (seeking no further growth as an IT resource) in the current job and wants to do something innovative and dynamic. The entrepreneurial drive which he has got during all this tenure has become a reason for him to opt a startup but the current environment i.e. COVID-19 lockdown scenario is very hostile to the whole business community.
