During the Pre COVID period, all the business people used to do and think about the traditional way to do the business. Even though there are facilities to do business online or through e-commerce, people are not utilizing the opportunity. 

But after COVID 19 effect businesses started doing business through e-commerce and online websites. Due to the COVID-19, there was a look down on the entire market and businesspeople started thinking about utilizing the technology for doing business.
