Impact Of COVID 19 On MBA Students

In the past few months, from sharing memes on COVID 19 to the time it instilled fear in my heart when I saw empty roads and public places, I think a lot has changed and a lot is going to change soon. Let's be a part of this classic global case study encompassing economics, science, and politics. Here we will take a look at how COVID 19 will affect 2020, 2021, and 2022 batches of MBA. But before that let's identify the sectors that have been worst hit by the pandemic - Automotive, Transportation, FMCG, IT, and Banking. The IT sector is mainly dependent on exports and clients like the US, which themselves are impacted badly. Employees in IT will need to develop skills accordingly and improve collaboration while working from home or else they'll be hit the most. BFSI is indirectly involved in everything as falling demands and reduced cash supply will force people to default or reschedule loans. And we have monetary and fiscal policies at hand, but they are also interdependent on a large number of unknown-unknowns including global supply chains, oil prices, and socio-political environment that may take a concrete shape after the pandemic is over. We also have some sectors which will bloom like pharmaceuticals, Edu-Tech startups, and e-commerce firms (provided they ensure high levels of hygiene).
