The Coronavirus Pandemic has halted the movement of professional workers which has caused a slowdown in all the sectors. But the Realty Sector has observed a relatively less impact. As Aparna Group continues to overcome this situation, Our Director, Mr. Rakesh Reddy shares his insights on the same during a recent chat with Estrade. He talks about the following:
- Impact on the Business: Until the beginning of lockdown, there was no major change in the sales of properties. However, the visits to sites have stopped, which is crucial for a customer in the process of making a decision. The construction activities are also paused temporarily. This has resulted in a temporary slowdown of the market.
- Digital Transformation amidst the Lockdown: As social distancing is being observed to contain the spread of this disease, the teams at Aparna Group have resorted to virtual workspaces. Being equipped with a strong IT infrastructure has helped to accommodate this, and gives an opportunity to incorporate the same post lockdown.
- Aiding the Local Communities: Aparna has always looked at the larger well-being of the society, without this pandemic being an exception. Raising funds worth 5 crore rupees for the government has helped aid the challenges faced by those in need.
