Elaborate on the video conferencing platforms and their flexibility as per different sectors Undoubtedly, all business establishments, irrespective of their employee strength or the industry sector they operate in, have been affected by this Covid-19 pandemic. In this scenario, video conferencing has quickly emerged as the core of many collaboration and communication strategies for leading brands, worldwide. We believe that this is not a temporary peak, and this trend will continue in a post-Covid-19 world as well.

This age of remote working has shown us how valuable this medium can be, not just for working from any part of the globe, but also for boosting productivity and efficiency at the same time. By 2027, the video collaboration market is set to hit a value of around $11.56 billion, with demand for this technology growing at a rapid pace.

However, many organisations are not well equipped to work from home. Sectors, such as insurance and healthcare, may find it difficult to work remotely due to the nature of the business. However, in the last couple of months, we have seen even these sectors pull out all the stops to adapt to this fairly new work model by employing workplace collaborative platforms. Additionally, the government is trying to develop a secure video conferencing platform for use by the government and courts, which will enable various departments to work seamlessly.
