A lot has happened in the last two years for all of us.
In Jan’20, we were just back from our routine business Trip covering Kenya & Uganda and were scheduled to Travel again in the Month of March 2020. Everything was just a routine and seemed normal.
March 11, 2020; as the morning news broke in, World Health Organization had declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and in few days, entire world was under total lockdown.
Needless to say, our Business Travel plans were shelved. Though, this Pandemic opened up a plethora of opportunities for businesses for networking through Internet. A number of online platforms emerged for Video Conferencing, Webinar, Business Interactions etc and we all got carried away with the same and for a while, were disconnected with the reality.
It was only when the Un-lockdown Phase 1 had started, we were absolutely sure that this World has changed. We concluded that as the world moves toward endemicity, challenges will continue to arise, as will new solutions.
We realised the biggest issues which emerged during pandemic were the effects particularly on Small & Medium Business: to Sustain the disruption, Re-ignite the Manufacturing, Boost the Demand, Re-aligning the Supply chains, Stable Local Markets, Explore the inclusive growth, Connect to Unrealized Markets, Transact New Business Opportunities, Accelerate the Growth Engine.
The entrepreneur mind set within us, coaxed us to think something out of box. We wanted to create synergies between the Opportunities & Businesses to fuel BUSINESS GROWTH, and thus the idea of QONEXXA Web Portal was ideated.
The Business environment today makes it vital that small and mid-sized companies make the concern of Growth a priority.
Growth is necessary for companies and economies to survive and thrive, and the future of growth must be both sustainable and inclusive. With the rapid changes in Technology and Business system, any company that is not growing is losing ground.
Finding solutions will require innovation and collaboration, within and across organizations—accelerating the ability to grow through advances in technology and capabilities, spurring innovation, and aligning likeminded business community in equitable & inclusive manner.
Thus, for any Global Business Growth, what it matters is the CONNECTs.
