Nikhil said: “COVID-19 has brought us to an unprecedented crossroadswhere business leaders are learning and evolving every step of the way, while combating everydaychallenges. The pandemic has accelerated the shift towards collaborative business models backed by digital quite dramatically.

“Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to find new ways to do things the right way, while at the same time continuing on the journey of growth and development. This book is an attempt to synthesize my own experience and learnings based on conversations with colleagues, industry peers, friends and family, into a cohesive roadmap. I hope the book helps new age entrepreneurs and fellow business leaders identify and make the required shifts to adapt to the new normal.”
