Avengers Assemble: India Inc unites against COVID-19
From doctors, nurses, fighting the COVID-19 to corporates, startups, academic institutions, and governments are also coming together to support this fight.
Who doesn't like superheroes? They are strong, smart, noble, and for the most part – good. And while you may not have a Captain America or an Iron Man, or a Bruce Wayne or a Wonder Woman patrolling the streets, we do see regular mortals taking a stand and fighting for the good.
Right now, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, we have had the fortune of seeing quite a few superheroes amidst us. From doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers fighting the COVID-19 to corporates, startups, academic institutions, and governments coming together to support this fight through various means – this is clearly one of the biggest battles we have ever seen.
Last week, we discovered many startups that are innovating and working towards eliminating coronavirus through various means. Startups like Coeo Labs, Cradlewise, AmpliGene, and Mylab are building for the frontline workers. Many others – startups and corporates across sectors – are joining the fight in other ways, including Swiggy, Ninjacart, Flipkart, Acko General, Google, PepsiCo, Bacardi, and more.
You can join this fight too. Remember to wash your hands, and stay home.
