Investor Connect in troubled times

… A Journey towards revival

Throughout history, a major pandemic has always had a negative impact on businesses across all levels. In India particularly, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic is not limited to a few sectors but is evident across all sectors and all geographies affecting majority of the stakeholders.

The operations of majority of the companies got severely impacted on account of COVID-19 lockdown. This has resulted in significant pressure on their cashflows and their ability to service loans. Most of such companies need urgent reworking of their business plans and infusion of fresh capital to take the operation back to the pre lockdown level.

Therefore many promoters would like to get in touch at the earliest with investors who have requisite appetite to invest in their business and provide the funding. Also promoters who are experiencing financial stress need credible sounding board to get a second opinion on various solutions along with their Pros and Cons on matters like One Time Settlement, Restructuring, Fund raising, managing lenders and investors expectations etc.

Promoters need to get in touch at the earliest with investors who have requisite appetite to invest in their business and provide the funding.
