The recent wave of COVID has thrown many companies into uncertainty. So, what are these huge challenges for the businesses within the startup world and the way is the enterprise capital (VC) house actually viewing their portfolio, and in addition whether or not they’re funding locations at this level.
To perceive this, CNBC-TV18’s Nisha Poddar spoke to an eminent panel – Saurabh Nigam, co-founder & COO of ElasticRun; Sandeep Gudibanda, co-founder & CEO of HealthPlix and Vani Kola, MD of Kalaari Capital.
Vani Kola mentioned, “If we think about it from a long term, I don’t think much has changed or will change rather from the landscape of startups and VCs. I think if anything there is such a pace of acceleration of digital adoption which requires new thinking, emerging models, and technology solutions that is of course at the core of what benefits startups.”
On the influence of COVID on the enterprise, Saurabh Nigam mentioned, “This pandemic has given a fillip to the business, looking very positively to the online purchase. Brands have opened for this channel as they look for a reliable network to ensure predictable reach and for us, this is an inflection point for the platform to scale with much rapid pace.”
