It isn’t any secret that the pandemic has affected India’s economy to a great extent; especially with the ongoing second wave. Like every other business, the jewellery industry also has been hit hard from a significant rundown of dropped occasions, shows, celebrations and even post-poned & put-on-hold weddings for the next few upcoming months. A noteworthy number of jewellery brands had expected 2021 to be an entryway to a plenty of business opportunities following a disheartening 2020, with hopes of the sales chart moving in upward direction. The reason for this expectation was simple- revenge shopping, suppressed desires to uplift mood, gifting, postponed weddings and the likes. While there was some hope & growth experienced during and post the festive season of 2020, the second wave of Coronavirus has had a major impact that flipped around the recently re-achieved stability in functioning. As organizations lost their benefit, the administrations of central participants appropriately interceded to firefight the emergency, having to forcefully close down a lot of businesses and establishments for a temporary period first & foremost in the leisure segment.

This situation brought us all back to square one. With augmented fear (& rightly so) people started panicking, migrants started returning home, and this shook the businesses all over again.

No footfall:

The business is seeing no footfall at jewellery stores and notwithstanding the progressing top wedding season, mass shopping has come to a halt.

Retailers in the nation have to re-evaluate their present game plan and embrace online retail allotment accelerated during this second wave of Coronavirus.

Shoots:

All big-ticket shoots and model shoots have either been deferred or dropped prompting a break into the gems fragment which is also expected to affect collaboration deals this year.

Staff:

Behind each enormous name is a group that endeavours to accomplish it. It would make a breakage in the group since everybody has some family crisis or various other ends to meet.

While the organizations are enthusiastically trusting that the bend will straighten, this urgent time can be prudently used to spread out a Covid activity plan that can be executed soon after things get better.
