The Rise Through Resilience Commitment - Big
Basket News Life in COVID-19
Big Basket News- E-commerce companies had to
muddle through a lot of obstacles initially to
deliver the orders to the users with the speed
that they promised in the pre-COVID period. Even
though the government took initiative and gave
permission for the companies to deliver essential
goods to the customers like food, medicines, and
medical equipment through online platforms,
the companies still faced issues in
deliveries and complained that their
delivery department was running behind
schedule due to the shortage of delivery staff
and whatever amount was being hassled by police.
The state authorities also gave the order to shut
down local warehouses and blocked the trucks from
crossing state borders which led to a shortage of
supplies in all the major cities that had no or
very less agriculture, e-commerce giants
experienced humongous disruption in their
operations and order fulfillment process even
when the orders were pouring in. Covid-19 impact
on start-ups also scared big companies like
BigBasket and Grofers yet the orders were
pouring in and when we look at BigBasket
News and Grofers News, it appears that they
hired thousands of new employees at that time to
get their delivery and fulfillment on track.

The impact of Covid-19 also brought down the
start-ups that were looking to swim afloat this
flood of deadly virus. Startup Financials were
shaken down so badly that they could see their
doom and were trying to get funding to stabilize
their financial conditions. This what made people
change their minds and resulted in a hold on all
the upcoming startups in India. Now, when the
heat of the Pandemic is coming down, were
getting a lot of startup funding NEWS. Which is a
relief for India and the Indian economy that has
been falling for a long time. In a recent event
called DNA of success, the CEO of BigBasket Hari
Menon Said the company lost 80 percent of its
workforce number within two days of the lockdown,
just as the nationwide lockdown got announced.
And that was a big hit because customers moved to
the digital mode of ordering daily essentials and
with 20 percent of the delivery staff, the
company was facing huge losses. But the 59-
year-old CEO turned the tide against COVID with
his brain and the ability to think calmly when
things arent right. Menon also stated that
another crucial aspect is that resilient people
become even more innovative in times of a
crisis. "And, when you become more innovative,
you set out to do more with less. I made the
organization internalize this 'doing more with
less' moto and deal with the shortage of people,
making sure we use technology to the hilt and
make use of every last resource that we have,
make sure we come up with new things to implement
that could help us deliver the new surge of
orders that we were experiencing. And we did come
up with a lot of ideas like community delivery,
we did about 60 innovative things that helped us
reach our current status, and the whole theme was
doing more with less," he said. Visit us for
