 th the onset of COVID-19, an unprecedented pandemic which has laid out a ch
 allenging future ahead of us, there is a spiking need for improvisation and
  innovation. As entrepreneurs, we must be able to see opportunities in this
  current state of mayhem and now is the time to redefine and create what is
  coined as the 'new normal'. Popular industries like Travel & Tourism, 
 Hospitality and non-essential Retail have taken a hit and many others have 
 been deemed redundant. Entrepreneurs now need to identify new trends and ni
 che markets within sectors, some of them being: Additive Manufacturing, Tel
 e-Services, Edtech, FinTech, Healthtech, Logistics E-commerce, Mental healt
 h Guidance and counselling, Blockchain etc. It is imperative to make the mo
 st of this new found opportunity and bring forth innovative ideas to launch
  new-age start-ups. Contrary to popular notion, the need of the hour is not
  to think outside the box, but to think within, differently; there is no de
 arth of business ideas!\n REGISTER NOW (https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/reg
