Though the world is talking about the new normal, things are far from normal. We are all in an abnormal world for a while as nobody ever thought or imagined the current Covid crisis and is trying to adjust, adapt and come out stronger. Mukesh Bansal has always been known for his large vision, somebody who is just not married to perception itself. With Bansal’s experience coming from being a serial entrepreneur while working across startups ranging from both the valley and India he has not only seen difficult times and understood how to come out of it but also knows when to change course and act upon it.

The entrepreneur and author shares the road ahead for the months and years to come.
