Can\u2019t help but write on or in context of Covid-19. The hangover is \u2018novel\u2019 too. That\u2019s the power of the invisible, it seems, sweeping across the mighty forts and displays of awe-inspiring \u2018development\u2019 of God\u2019s creation with brains \u2013 Homo Sapiens. The yet unconquerable, invisible-microscopic-protein something has caught us sapiens on the wrong foot \u2013 of careless greed and stubborn pride. The resultant \u2018halt\u2019, as it now seems, and as I feel, was long coming and inevitable. Bleak and daunting as the scenario might seem now, the soul of humanity from the time of Adam, knows well, that humans will rise, build and thrive\u2026\u2026again.<\/p>\n

Challenge is huge and unprecedented, as game has changed. World economy and Industry 4.0 is ready for an inevitable facelift globally. The present pandemic brought about a change in perception of needs and wants in the consumers and business owners. New business models will have to be developed to cater to the altered consumer behaviour for many established industries and sectors. Industry 4.0, for generations to come, will be remembered as being \u2018Novel\u2019, for whatever Novel Corona virus did to it!<\/p>\n

Even though, hardly any economic or business activity is happening these days, trends will start brewing and taking shape. Some new use cases or trends for economy and Industry 4.0 are presented below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make-in-India mission will get a boost as domestic manufacturing will be preferred and help the economy grow.<\/li>\n
  2. Automation will generate positive arguments in its favour. We witnessed during this pandemic when factories and processing units, using human labour were shut due to fear of contagion. More and more businesses will now see adoption of automation.<\/li>\n
  3. Digitalization will accelerate for obvious reasons of reduced ATM access, paper cash contagion etc.<\/li>\n
  4. On the job front, more jobs will be created in the digital arena as a result of need for setting up of data centres and expansion of digital infrastructure.<\/li>\n
  5. An increasing number of start-ups in the healthcare sector will emerge, as health and sanitation has become a top priority as never before. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan will get a new fillip and its necessity in peoples lives and psyche will get highlighted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The new trends mentioned above are just a few. Use cases abound in arenas of politics, security, research, finance, international trade, travel and tourism, work and home space, leisure and day-to-day life. Sliver of hopes or \u2018silver linings\u2019 are always there and waiting to be changed into opportunities and leveraged both during and post-pandemic. The discussion is open to all. More views will bring more ideas and maybe, plant seeds of innovation and creativity in some mind, somewhere. Students can think, mull over the trends and come up with probable emergent scenarios.<\/p>\n

    The \u2018lockdown\u2019 is the best time to ease out the many \u2018extras\u2019 from our lives, think, focus and prepare. Nobody gets this solitude, again, ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
