For him, the focus was on protecting the people, as people are the biggest asset of the organization. “We made sure to provide safety kits and financial support to all our employees. We protected the job of every worker and ensured increments in both the years to keep them motivated, as well as financially stable. We substantially increased insurance for our employees and provided additional support to those who were infected with COVID-19,” He said.

Furthermore, Zydus Wellness had collaborated with a third-party logistics firm to distribute their products to Kirana stores during the pandemic. This proved to be very beneficial for the company.

It is important to have faith in your people and work together, towards the benefit of all.”
