[COVID-19] How this Chartered Accountant and Founder of an Advisory and M&A Firm Manages Crisis

• Hello, I am Chandrashekar Kupperi, a Chartered Accountant, Cost Accountant, and Company Secretary by qualification. I am usually addressed as Shekar.
• I have almost two decades of experience in various multinationals with diversified sector experience—FMCG, life insurance, audit & assurance, and oil & gas.
• And having gained knowledge and expertise in M&A, I chose the entrepreneurial route, effective in 2013.
• I established an investment banking and advisory firm, “ANOVA Corporate Services Pvt. Ltd.,” focused on M&A and fundraising to support the MSME sector and startups.
• Clearly, COVID-19 has impacted MSMEs and large businesses alike, and nobody is spared!
• Here is how we are dealing with various challenges and how you can too!

Challenges and crises in business or employment are inevitable.

The hard fact is that “life” will throw challenges at you, irrespective of being in employment or being an entrepreneur!

We all live in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, and COVID-19 has just shown us the severity of the VUCA situation!
