The COVID 19 pandemic upended life for a large majority of Indians across geographies. Many companies shut operations with the workers and employees being left to fend for themselves. For Indians, the economic impact of the virus had led to new categorizations of “essential” workers, a large scale move to remote work and layoffs, salary-cuts had become common.  This compounded with one of the harshest lockdowns witnessed anywhere In the world, meant that people were unable to access even basic necessities required for survival. Today, the nation is witnessing a lockdown situation again. Many states have already started periodic lockdowns.

In this backdrop, MarketGenics India Pvt Ltd decided to shoot a question amongst general public using 2 methodologies.
