The COVID-19 pandemic explosion has created a ripple effect on the global economy and the total loss due to the impact is anticipated to be one trillion dollars. In India, coronavirus impact is not limited to some sectors, but is visible across every shareholders and investor.
For example, India has witnessed a stoppage in the business core activities like investor’s meeting, because of self-isolation and social distancing. Due to this an adverse impact is felt across white and blue-collar sectors.

Flexibility allows the trader to deal with and manage uncertainty, which is practically challenging. In a highly competitive field like trading, there is a need for professional support to manage the challenges that lay ahead.
