How this CA and entrepreneur husband-wife duo in Dubai confidently navigated through the COVID-19 crisis

• The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on everyone’s life. While a lot of people are “working from home” and are being diligent with “social distancing”, others have been furloughed or laid off.
• The CA Story caught up with Arshi Kaura, Chartered Accountant and Founder of Legends Accounting a Dubai-based firm having a team of nearly 25, to understand how they have been managing during the current crisis.

What was your immediate “reflex thought” with the announcement of complete lockdown?

Initially, when the pandemic started, it was scary. We were jolted with a lot of uncertainty and ambiguity.

We feared that the global canvas will slip into a “déjà vu” of the 2008 – 2009 recession and people might start losing their jobs.

Another concern we had was ‘how could we work from home if there is a lockdown’ just like most business owners, we could not imagine working from home in totality.
