MEANING OF CORONVIRUS (COVID 19)
Coronavirus (COVID 19) is a deadly contagious disease spread across the world.
Almost 75 lakhs of people are being infected with this virus. People infected with this
virus have symptoms like moderate respiratory fatigue, dry cough, fever. There are more
less common symptoms such aches, sore throat, diarrhea, headache etc.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is being well informed about the
COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others
from contagion by washing your hands or using a spirits-based rub often and not touching
your face. The COVID-19 virus spreads mainly through drops of saliva or release from
the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s vital that you also exercise
respiration manners (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or ways for COVID-19. However, there are
many continuing clinical hearings evaluating possible treatments. WHO will continue to
provide simplified information as soon as clinical findings become accessible?

CORONA VIRUS TRANSMISSION
You can also get the disease from touching a surface or thing the disease is on, then
touching your mouth, nose, or perhaps your eyes. Most diseases can live for numerous
hours on a surface that they land on. A study shows that SARS-CoV-2 can last for
numerous hours on various types of surfaces: -
Copper: 4 hours
Cardboard: up to 24 hours
Artificial or stainless steel: 2 to 3 days
That’s why it’s vital to purify surfaces to get rid of the disease. Some creatures have
tested affirmative for the virus. A few have revealed marks of illness. But there’s no
indication that people can catch this coronavirus from an animal.
4|Page
How contagious is COVID-19?
The rate of transmission is relatively high as expected. Researcher have estimated that a
person infected with this disease can transmit it to different people within 2 to 2.5 others.
In another study it was said that it spread even faster like 4.7 to 6.6 other people.
Working in unity can lower the transmission but by taking all necessary precautions such
as washing hands frequently, keeping populated surfaces clean, limiting contact with
different people, and wearing face masks when we can’t stay 5 feet away from others.
It is normal to sense sad, worried, or chaotic during a crisis. Speaking to persons you
trust, such as families and private, can help. If you feel speechless, talk to a fitness
worker or therapist.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CORONAVRIUS
By studying different patients, scientist have come up with different characteristics of this
virus. An article says, it has examined all patients in Wuhan who were affected with
coronavirus.
99 Patients were selected. Among those 99 patients –
67 were men
32 were women
Patients who were suffering from severe illness died. There are different studies which
derive different outcomes.
STRUCTURE
Spherical enclosed particles holding single-stranded (positive-sense) RNA related with a
nucleoprotein within a capsid comprised of matrix protein. The envelope bears club-
shaped glycoprotein forecasts.
CLASSIFICATION
Coronaviruses (and Toro viruses) are classified together on the basis of the crown or
halo-like appearance of the envelope glycoproteins, and on characteristic features of
chemistry and replication. Most humanoid coronaviruses drop into one of two serotypes:
OC43-like and 229E-like.
6|Page
MULTIPLICATION
It is thought that human coronaviruses enter cells, mainly, by specific receptors.
Aminopeptidase-N and a sialic acid-containing receptor have been identified to act in
such a role for 229E and OC43 respectively. After the virus enters the host cell and
uncoats, the genome is recorded and then interpreted. A unique feature of replication is
that all the mRNAs form a “nested set” with common 3′ ends; only the unique portions of
the 5′ ends are translated. There are 7 mRNAs produced. The proteins are assembled at
the cell skin and genomic RNA is joint as the mature atom forms by budding from
internal cell membranes.
The above pictures show how virus has multiplied over the years. The consumption of
infected animals and birds is major source of spreading the virus from animal to human
and due to close contact with human.
DIAGNOSIS
Illness caused by coronaviruses cannot be differentiate clinically from other colds in any
one individual. Laboratory diagnosis may be made on the basis of antibody titers in
paired sera. The virus is difficult to isolate. Nucleic acid hybridization tests (including
PCR) are now being introduced.
7|Page
CONTROL
Although antiviral treatment has been tried, the treatment of coronavirus coldness
remains symptomatic. The happening of transmission can be reduced by practicing
hygienic measures. Vaccines are not currently developed.
Follow above steps to prevent unnecessary spreading or cross-infecting others. WHO has
implemented this guideline for the safety of the people, as there is no vaccine available
and the it will take nearly 15-20 months to develop a cure for this.

ORIGIN TO DATE OF CORONAVIRUS
Many researchers have believed that coronavirus has originated in bats or pangolins. The
first spread to humans was in Wuhan, China. Since then, the disease has typically spread
over person-to-person interaction. The first known outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in humans
occurred in Wuhan and initially was traced to a wet seafood market (which sold live fish
and other animals), though some of the earliest cases have no link to that market. Chinese
authorities initially reported that the first coronavirus case was on 31 December and
many of the first cases of the pneumonia-like contagion were immediately linked to a
seafood and animal market in Wuhan. However, Chinese investigators published in the
Lancet medical journal, claimed the first person to be diagnosed with Covid-19, was on 1
December 2019 and that person had "no contact" with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale
Market. Researchers also said that three other people developed symptoms in the
following days, two of whom had no exposure to Huanan either. However, the
researchers also found that 27 people of a sample of 41 patients admitted to hospital in
the early stages of the outbreak "had been exposed to the market”. Taiwan’s Vice-
President Chen Chien-jen, also a famous epidemiologist, said that Wuhan's wet markets
may not be the origin of the coronavirus pandemic. Chen Chien-jen also said that the
patient zero, the basis of the Covid-19 infection, may never be found.

December 2019
In Wuhan’s seafood market, suddenly 7 to 10 people returning back from seafood market
started suffering from some diseases. After doing a research on those patients, scientist
found that this virus is almost similar to the virus found in 2013. As the main source of
this disease is animals so scientist believe that this disease originated from seafood
market. The virus was named SARS-CoV -2. A Doctor discovered the virus and shared it
with his colleagues and higher authority.

January 2020
On 11 and 12 January 2020, WHO established further in-depth information from the
National Health Commission about the outburst. The marketplace was closed on 1
January 2020. According to facts carried to WHO by Chinese experts on 11 and 12
January, 41 gears with new coronavirus infection have been preliminarily identified in
Wuhan City. Of the 41 cases reported, seven are rigorously ill. This is when the one
expiry, was reported, in a patient with other original health conditions. Six patients have
been quitted from hospital. Indication onset of the 41 confirmed nCoV cases sorts from 8
December 2019 to 2 January 2020.The first case of COVID-19 in India, which created
from China, was reported on 30 January 2020.

February 2019
The WHO-China Combined mission, which involved experts from Canada, Germany,
Japan, Nigeria, Republic of Korea, Russia, Singapore and the US, spent period in Beijing
and also toured to Wuhan and two other towns. They spoke with fitness officials, experts
and health workers in fitness facilities
March 2020
Highly worried both by the disturbing levels of spread and harshness, and by the
disturbing levels of contagion, WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 can be
confirmed as an epidemic. People who were infected were isolated and quarantine
procedure was followed up. The cases drastically rose up across the world. There was
increase in mortality rate. India announced Janta curfew by suspending all types of
travelling, later on the nationwide lockdown was imposed
April 2020
On April 2, number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases worldwide passes 1 million, with
1,002,159 cases and 51,485 deaths reported. US established cases of coronavirus
COVID-19 pass 1 million, though demise toll of 58,365. Russia touched 93000 cases
with 867 deaths.
May 2020
On May 19, India recorded 100000 cases. The Prime minister shri Narendra Modi
announced another nationwide lockdown.
June 2020
India reached 300000 confirmed cases. USA recorded more than 20 lakhs cases.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
America recorded more than 20 lakhs cases and more than 100000 deaths in this
pandemic. Donald Trump described coronavirus as ‘invincible enemy’ and will defeat it.
America was also counted as the best medical services but unfortunately it also failed.
Recently more than 2 crore people filed for unemployment benefits. Technical glitches
have prevented millions of Americans from receiving their stimulus checks from the U.S.
Department of the Treasury and the Small Business Administration, which supports U.S.
entrepreneurs with loans and funding, has run out of money for its Paycheck Protection
Program. America is falling in both ways economic and public health. A protest was
started in beginning of May related to racism as people protested #Blacklivesmatter.

1.2 STRATEGIES BY GOVERNMENT IN INDIA
TESTING
1. Government rises testing capability to 1 lakh per day
2. The Government took responsibility to fight against the novel coronavirus.
3. Many hospitals, clinics were changed for the treatment of corona.
4. India has increased it testing capacity from 4 labs to 1000 tests in a single day.
5. When compared to different country on the basis of tests, India hold around 2000
per 10 lakhs which ranks behind Spain (65000), USA (38000) & France (21000).
6. India also has increased its bed sizes in hospitals with maintaining social
distancing.
7. But as the cases are rising rapidly, India will run out of ICU beds for patients.
8. 958 Hospitals, especially for COVID have more than 167000 isolation beds,
21600 normal beds and 73000 beds with oxygen.
9. There are more than 7500 COVID health centers with 710000 beds.
10. Recently Rajasthan’s PM offered 5000 tests daily in major states of India like
UP, MP, Haryana, Gujarat
24 | P a g e
EMERGENCY OF COVID IN HOSPITAL
In order to ensure the safety of patients a mock drill has been conducted to check the
handling capacity of hospitals when an emergency COVID patient arrives.
1. Outpatients – Patients who come for treatment but doesn’t require a bed or staying
overnight.
Consultation room
A. Healthcare workers (Doctors, Nurses and compounder) – Physical examination to
be conducted with patients having respiratory problems. Using all protective
measures such as PPE (personal protective equipment), hand sanitizer and
washing.
B. Healthcare workers – Patients who don’t have any kind of symptoms but go
through a screening as suggested by the patients itself.
C. Cleaners – Sanitizing every unit of hospital.
Waiting room
Providing well ventilated areas with exhaust fans & open areas.
Emergency/Isolation rooms
A. Healthcare workers – Providing all necessary equipment’s such as PPE, oxygen
cylinders, drugs, hand washing and sanitizer.
B. Cleaners – Wearing PPE kit before entering COVID patients room
Administrative areas
A. Full staff – Admin staff to make contact with COVID patients instead work on
transportation and maintaining the records. Hand washing and sanitizing facility
was also provided.
25 | P a g e
2. ICU facilities
A. Anesthesiologists (Respiratory problems specialists) – A ready staff for any
COVID emergency with PPE, OT technician, Nurses, oxygen supply tools,
Emergency drugs, monitors, ventilators etc.
CONTAINMENTZONE
After the lockdown 4.0 state authorities were handover the power to identify red, orange,
green& buffer zones in their territory
What these zones define?
1. Red zone – These color mark has highest cases in that area. District which have
more than 80% cases of corona are defined as red zone area. All moments on
roads, public places have to be shut down.
2. Orange zone – Area where no cases have been registered in last 14 days comes
under orange zone.
3. Green zone – Places where no cases have been registered in last 28 days.
4. Buffer zones – Buffer zones are area where two different area meet or adjoin.
These areas require more attention and care so as to ensure that virus does not
spread across different areas.

QUARANTINE PROCEDURE
Quarantine is process of separating people who have been in infectious or contagious
area so as to ensure the safety of other people.
Government of India, Minister of health & family welfare and Directorate general of
health services have implemented few guidelines for quarantine.
29 | P a g e
Sanitizing surrounding
1. Sanitize whole room of quarantined person’s, wherever the person has touched,
such as bed, tables etc.
2. Properly clean toilets and things person touched in toilet such as tap, flush etc.
3. Wash all clothes of quarantined person separately from family’s clothes using
detergent and dry it under the sun.
4. Quarantined person has to stay at home for 14 days until it is being test negative.

SUPER SPREADER TESTING
10 vegetables and fruit seller in Jaipur, 3 delivery boy in Ahmedabad, a veg-biryani
delivery boy in Bhubaneswar and a grocery store owner in Tuglakabad in Delhi are
among the positive cases of COVID-19 super spreaders identified with no transit past.
These people daily come in contact with different people and can easily transmit virus to
them. In a recent news Ahmedabad founded 700 super spreaders.
A possible image of super spreader. The red color one is the person define as super
spreader and how it affects different people whenever it moves. Some researcher says
that the main reason for drastically increase in COVID cases in super spreader.
Government need to find certain strategy to isolate this spreader until it gets out of
control.
31 | P a g e
Who can be super spreader?
1. Hospital
2. Delivery worker
3. Vegetable market
4. Medical stores
5. Bus, railway station & Airport
6. Traffic, toll booths
7. Schools & colleges
8. Containment zone
9. Local gatherings, marriages, receptions etc.
10. Theatres, malls etc.
The Centre also has asked officers from 30 civic areas spread across 12 states, to
maintain high watch and closely monitor areas of old cities, slums, travelling labourer
camps and other high-density pockets.
Many states have imposed a temporally lockdown to avoid super spreading. Whereas
Rajasthan offers 5000 tests daily to UP, MP, Gujarat and Haryana to reduce super
spreading.
32 | P a g e
LOCKDOWN
On 24 March 2020, under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, a lockdown was imposed
for 21 days restricting movement of whole 1.3 billion natives to prevent the spreading of
COVID. The lockdown was placed when the number of complete positive coronavirus
cases in India was roughly 500.
On 1 May, the Government of India prolonged the nationwide lockdown further by two
weeks until 17 May. The Government distributed all the districts into three zones based
on the spread of the virus green, red and orange with reductions applied accordingly. On
17 May, the lockdown was additional stretched till 31 May by the National Disaster
Management Authority.
On 30 May, it was declared that the current lockdown would be further extended till 30
June in containment zones, with services resuming in a phased style starting from 8 June.
33 | P a g e
Dates and lockdown days
1. Phase 1: 25 March 2020 – 14 April 2020 (21 days)
2. Phase 2: 15 April 2020 – 3 May 2020 (19 days)
3. Phase 3: 4 May 2020 – 17 May 2020 (14 days)
4. Phase 4: 18 May 2020 – 31 May 2020 (14 days)
5. Phase 5 (only for containment zones): 1 June 2020 – current (16 days) planned to
end on 30 June 2020
Lockdown Rules
1. Strictly prohibition on people from stepping out of their house
2. All services and shops closed except pharmacies, hospitals, banks, grocery and
other essential services
3. Closure of viable and private establishments (only work-from-home allowed)
4. Pause of all educational, training, research organizations
5. Closure of all places of devotion
6. Suspension of all non-essential public and private means of transport
7. Prohibition of all social, political, sports, entertainment, academic, cultural,
religious happenings.
34 | P a g e
SUPPLY CHAIN OF BASIC NECESSITIES
Central and state establishments were required to pace in to safeguard that the standard of
basics such as food and medicines didn’t come to an extensive halt after police imposing
the Covid-19 lockdown clogged trucks and delivery staff amid complaints of physical
intimidation. Due to lockdown there was disruption in supply chain across the country.
By government assurances the ecommerce platform amazon and flipkart were ready to
resume delivery of groceries and essentials to people who were solely reliant on home
deliveries after the shutdown.
The home ministry set up a control room to screen the situation, while states were asked
to allow the movement of goods and staff so that basics reached users. States will draw
up standard working processes and start customer service. Ecommerce companies said
they would supply essential goods with least possible human contact. Governments also
said subsidized and free food supplies to the poor, many of whom have no source of
living.
The Gurgaon police allowed the agents of companies such as Zomato, Flipkart, Amazon,
Big Bazaar, Swiggy, Grofers, Big Basket and Milkbasket to function. Noida authorities
chatted the matter with retailers and ecommerce managers to arrive at a resolution.
35 | P a g e
DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD GRAINS TO POOR PEOPLE
The Centre has asked state managements to boost food grain from the open market sale
plan for delivery to lockdown-hit poor persons not enclosed under the public delivery
system, Union Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said. At present, over 81 crore recipients
are listed for sponsored food grains sold from end to end ration shops under the National
Food Security Act (NFSA).
Under the Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS), the Centre deals rice at Rs 22 per kg and
wheat at Rs 21 per kg at existent. The government has enough food supplies in its
godowns to meet the demand of the poor, Paswan said the state-run Food Corporation of
India (FCI) was having total 605.7 lakh tons of food grains as on May 1, which contain
275.7 lakh tons of rice and 330 lakh tons of wheat.
Paswan said that the FCI has conveyed about 192 lakh tonne of food grains ever since
lockdown imposed on March 24. Out of which, 126.12 lakh tonne was transported via
road and sea route, the rest 65.4 lakh tons via rail in 2334 rakes. About 5.63 lakh tonne
was transported to the north eastern area in this period.
Six states such as Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Chandigarh, Delhi and Gujarat have
distributed wheat, while other states have distributed rice under the PMGAY (Pradhan
mantra gramin awaas yojana). In case of pulses, about 5.82 lakh tonne is mandatory for
three months under the PMGAY, out of which 1.90 lakh tons have been shipped so far.
Of this, 1.15 lakh tons of pulses have reached states and 38,098 tonne have been
distributed.
Under the PMGAY, the government is distributing 5 kg food grains per PDS (public
distribution system) benefactor and one kg per home for three months to certify no poor
goes starving during the lockdown. This is over and above the distribution under the
NFSA (National food security portal). To keep prices of essential supplies under check,
the state governments have been given enough control to take action against collectors
and black marketers under the Essential Commodities Act (EAA).
36 | P a g e
OTHER MEASURES TAKEN BY RBI
Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the breakup of 20 lakh crore relief
Package. The 8-lakh crore was the part given by RBI as liquidity infusion. The money
comes from RBI’s reserves. The main motive of RBI was to create a liquidity market by
providing the unused reserves. Converting an asset into cash easily is called liquidity.
37 | P a g e
RBI Governor Shaktikanta das told that RBI will face challenges emerging out of
coronavirus pandemic and will interfere wherever necessary. Also, the governor said RBI
will maintain the economy such as keeping financial markets run smooth so that all
finance should reach stakeholders. The RBI will be monitoring the whole situation and
use its tools to face intimidating challenges occurred by this pandemic. The RBI had
recently declared a Covid-19 – Regulatory Packageon March 27, 2020 whereby
moneylenders across India were inter alia allowed to grant a suspension of three months
upon payment of all installments that were due to fall between March 1st, 2020 and May
31st, 2020.

These actions were charted upright the statement made by the Governor on April 17,
2020 and a slide of other notifications whereby the RBI introduced actions in addition to
the Regulatory Package which primarily aimed at:
1. maintaining satisfactory liquidity in the system and its citizens in the face
ofCovid-19 related disruptions.
2. Simplifying and incentivizing bank credit flows, enabling financial stress, and
3. Allowing the normal running of markets.

CHAPTER-2
Introduction of Industry
40 | P a g e
INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTRY
Online food ordering is the procedure of ordering food from a website or other
application. The product can be also ready-to-eat food or food that has not been
particularly prepared for straightforward consumption.
Ordering food on the internet over certain apps is unlike from other sources of ordering
food. Technology development has increased the e-commerce businesses in countries like
India.
OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRY
The initial online food order was a pizza starting Pizza Hut in 1994. Aggregator stages
like Takeaway.com or Delivery Hero have extended all over the world through the trade
of reliable organization solutions and handsome commission rates for restaurants.
Platform-to-Consumer Delivery companies like Deliveroo or Uber Eats operate a more
cost demanding business model, but are taking care of the whole delivery
logistics.Having a food ordering and distribution platform was measured a state-of-the-art
invention in the early 2000s but today the sector has expanded to different demographics
through the globe. The food delivery industry has not just enhanced the way food is
conveyed but it has also created a side by side playing field for the underdogs that operate
through computer-generated kitchens. And with an ecosystem that brings sellers together,
entrepreneurs are also doing their bit for people by introducing the likes of food waste
apps.
The processes of an online food delivery bazaar are divided into two basic models. First,
the food ordering only model
1. Aggregators: They are the food ordering businesses that negotiate with the
vendors and display their listings on their respective platforms. They receive the
orders from consumers and direction it to the featured restaurants.
2. Delivery Providers: These fleets of delivery teams are united by an Uber-like app
to receive orders. Once an order is placed, it is promoted to the featured
restaurants and the delivery crewcontinues to deliver it to the customers.
41 | P a g e
Aggregators
The traditional Aggregators followed a very simple approach. It was as follows:
1. Visit potential participating vendors
2. Present a partnership plan
3. Establish an association
4. Do some branding and marketing to attract customers?
5. Get customers to place orders
6. Aggregators get commissions as per contracts
Delivery Providers
The delivery providers also allow the customers to compare menus, rate their favorite
places and place orders online. The only difference in this model is the availability of a
dedicated logistics team that manages deliveries.
Since a big number of restaurants do not have a distribution team, they work together
with delivery suppliers and pay commissions to the capacities of up to 30% of order
amount in give-and-take for their delivery services.

But the delivery scenario innovations don’t stop here. Not by a long shot. Every new
entrant into the market brings something new to the table and over the past few years we
have seen some notable improvements in the business model. Some of them include: -
1. Cuisine/restaurant-style design layouts
2. Menus displayed in real-time
3. Push notifications in mobile-apps
4. Option to create user profiles
5. Live order tracking and hassle-free delivery
Today the concept of ordering food online and getting our food from modern delivery
services. One can easily order food online through food delivery apps like Foodpanda,
Zomato, Swiggy, Uber eats, pizza hut, Mc Donald and KFC. Sometimes, restaurants
would partner with online food arrangement apps to place their eating place in their
application. In this case, restaurants can just emphasis on making the order placed by the
customer. Food ordering and delivering apps include addresses of the customers to the
riders who deliver the food to the customer. We are able to make transactions to buy food
through online banking, cash on delivery, and immediate payment through debit and
credit cards. One can order food online and receive their order as soon as possible, or
they can make a reservation for the food to be delivered on a later time.

CURRENT SCENARIO
COVID-19 in India has brought virtually every sector to a standstill except for essential
items. All operational activities ceased since the Lockdown was announce on March 24th
2020, and many companies regardless of their size has gone into losses. Companies had
to undertake certain drastic measures such as pay cuts, layoffs, suspend certain operations
and restructure the organization to reduce their losses.
The rapid spread of corona virus has made the consumers skeptical about ordering food
online. The result of the same has been redirected on the revenues of restaurant business
of India which perceived 70% drop in the business since March 2020. The restaurants
PAN-India have been focused to remain closed for dining. More than 95% of the
restaurants in India are offline, either due to lack of staff or lack of demand thereof. The
online food delivery has recorded a drop of ~70% in the order volumes in the past 2
months, getting nearly about 5mn-6mn orders per month.
As the order volumes continue to decline drastically, the online food delivery companies
have started to shift their focus towards online grocery delivery in order to sustain their
revenues and optimize their operational fleet. Market players such as Zomato, Swiggy
and Box8 have jumped to online grocery delivery in order to cater to the increasing
demand as a result of panic purchase either by tying up with grocery stores or by
partnering up with existing grocery delivery platforms to support them in delivering the
groceries. Restaurant chains with big fleets are partnering up with FMCG brands to
supply essential commodities. E.g.: Dominoes India has partnered up with ITC to
delivery essential goods and groceries.
44 | P a g e
In the wake of the global pandemic, hygiene has been the focus area for aggregators such
as Swiggy and Zomato. To overcome the sentiments of the consumers, the food delivery
companies are aggressively reaching out to consumers for ensuring the safety of the food
being delivered by marketing their initiatives in every possible way. On one hand
aggregators are offering contactless delivery and other the other hand cloud kitchen
company Rebel Foods has introduced live body temperature tracker on its application.
The companies are also directing out advisories to the customers to handover food in
another container post-delivery and re-heating the food before eating. Companies have
also promised temperature logs for the food handlers such as the chef, the food packers
and the delivery boys to make the business more transparent. The post-pandemic
preparedness is half way through for a few companies. Zomato is preparing for
contactless dining after the lockdown restrictions are lifted by adding new features into
their app which allows consumers to use menu, place orders directly and make payments
without coming in contact with the restaurant staffs.
Although a slow recovery in the order demand for online food delivery is expected by
August end, the overall orders for the year 2020 is expected to be 50%-60% lesser than
total orders of 2019. The future trend in the F&B industry will be centered on health and
hygiene. The restaurant business will particularly accept stricter practices to ensure that
both its people and the food follow the best hygiene practices. With the health scare
around Covid-19, the hygiene parameter will play a major role for consumers when
deciding to order out or dine out. Social Distancing norms may reduce the number of
walk ins into restaurants, with pubs and clubs being the worst affected. Major clubs, pubs
would be seeing in the direction of alcohol distribution and food delivery through
aggregators. Premium and high scale Hotels such as Taj, ITC would get better than small
scale economical restaurants. Premium restaurants would also be seeing at Food delivery
in order to successfully utilize their working facilities. Live Videos, Temperature Logs,
Contactless Delivery, focus on health & hygiene will result in increased transparency in
turn boosting customer confidence. Industry experts have revealed that the business
volumes and revenues will suffer due to the health scare.
45 | P a g e
Current scenario in India
Food delivery app Swiggy will cut 1,100 jobs across the country, as it reels under the
Covid-19 induced nationwide shutdown. The development comes after rival Zomato said
last week that it would lay off 13% of its workforce, or about 520 employees. The core
food distribution business has been harshly stuck and will stay stucked over the short
term but is expected to start rising again after that.

PESTEL ANALYSIS
PESTEL analysis identifies external factors which influence a business. In other words,
we’re examining how the online food industry is affected by political, economic, social,
legal, technological factors.
1. POLITICAL FACTORS
A. General
The food aggregators are not being able to display tax collected at source (TCS)
from restaurants using their stage, which is stopping the partner restaurants from
appealing credits.
2. ECONOMIC FACTORS
A. General
B. COVID-19 impact
The nationwide lockdown has shaped a huge impact on online food industry as
businesses have to deliver food to customer’s location but lockdown has limited
their services to some extent.
The mid 2020 period had troubled the business in all the industries, the outgoing
habits of people had really come down, provided that value for money services
were the only business which made money during this season, online food
ordering industry was one among them.
47 | P a g e
3. SOCIAL FACTORS
A. General
B. COVID-19 impact
After this pandemic, Public in general became more health conscious which has
led to the decrease in sales in online food ordering industry.
4. TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
A. General
48 | P a g e
5. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
A. General
People are now more concerned about the global environment. companies need to
be aware of the threats and opportunities related with the natural environment.
Not only is there growing awareness for the health consequences of the food we
eat, but also for the environmental consequences of the food we eat. One
particularly challenging food group from an environmental point of view is non-
veg. India is country where more than 60% people are Hindu. Delivering of non-
veg items will direct consumers to different platform.
B. COVID-19 impact
COVID has made people bend toward hygiene and immunity boost. So
consumers spend less on junk food by ordering online and consume homemade
items.
6. LEGAL FACTORS
A. General
Anytime sampling can be done by government officials to check the safety and
hygiene of packed items
Companies will also provide indicative images of food on their platforms so that
consumers can recognize the product.
B. COVID-19 impact
All compulsory information mentioned in food safety and standards acts will also
have to be provided to consumers before purchase and only fresh food should be
delivered to consumers
Food should have remaining shelf life of 30% or 45 days before expiry at time of
delivery.

PORTER’S FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS
Porter's Five Forces is a model that classifies and examines five competitive forces that
form every industry and helps define an industry's weaknesses and strengths. Five Forces
examination is frequently used to classify an industry's arrangement to determine
corporate plan. Porter's model can be applied to any section of the economy to know the
level of competition within the industry and improve a company's long-term profitability.
The Five Forces model is called after Harvard Business School professor, Michael E.
Porter.
50 | P a g e
1. Rivalry amongst other firms (Medium to high)
There are a number of rivalries in the market. Recently, there are few
popular online food delivery services in the town like swiggy, Food panda,
Zomato,
Pizza hut, zomato, swiggy, food panda, fasoos etc. are few players among
themselves.
Consumer can shift to dissimilar platforms if the item is not up to marks
Product difference amongst different firms may vary a lot.
51 | P a g e
4. Bargaining power of suppliers (Very high)
Most of the ecommerce brands are highly cautious regarding their supplier
relationships and set a code of conduct related to quality, labor and wages
as well as sustainability.
Despite the number of players in the industry having grown, the suppliers
do not have too many options and therefore are bound by the rules that the
brands have set. It is why the Ecommerce brands have the upper hand
bargaining and the negotiating power of the suppliers is low.

general product deliveries, under the brand name Swiggy Stores. In September 2019,

Zomato has a small edge. Its app is installed on 12% of all Indian smartphones,

than in metros. Giving a lot of good discounts, like for the Cricket World Cup and the
Indian Premier League in latest months, have increased Swiggy and Zomato. In absolute
numbers, metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru have the most persons with food-
delivery apps installed. However, spoken as a share of smartphone users in the city,
penetration is higher in tier-2 cities like Hyderabad and Jaipur.

be able to stand in COVID catastrophe. Swiggy has recorded a revenue of Rs 875 crore
for the six-month period April to September 2019. Post COVID has made some changes
to the company such as the amount of expenses has been reduced to live in this pandemic
furthermore swiggy announced to cut-off 1100 jobs due to losses during coronavirus
lockdown. The company provided 3 months and 2 months more advanced salaries to
employees who were laid-off. In metro cities the eating place which partnered with
swiggy where in the situation of totally lockdown which caused their business between
January to March 2020. Swiggy claimed that the revenues were one-third as related to pre
COVID. As swiggy was already prepared for this, that’s the reason it could manage to
survive.

Actions taken by swiggy to scale down not highly relevant things for next 18 months
71 | P a g e
Swiggy had to shut down its business for the moment depending on the situation of
lockdown. Swiggy remains to invest in the groceries and other facility offerings that the
team expect will do in the long run.
Packaged Indian breakfast and Ready-To-Eat brand MTR Foods has joined with online
food delivery platform Swiggy to deliver products from its range. Under these conditions,
it is critical for swiggy to ensure that customers have a nonstop supply of essential
products. With home delivery perceiving a significant rise, this partnership would allow
swiggy to reach out to mainstream of their consumers.

Measures taken by SWIGGY to ensure safety
As COVID-19 becomes extensive with more people testing positive, several food brands
have taken it upon themselves to spread alertness and ensure a clean and germ-free
environment for their customers, employees, and partners.
The online food ordering and delivery platform, Swiggy, sent out a counseling to all its
customers, informing them about some positive measures they have taken to deal with the
novel virus.
These initiatives are geared towards maximizing the safety at each step of the order-
delivery process. A classic order-journey looks as follows

Before the Order is Placed by the customer
1. Ensuring that restaurant staff stay healthy
Restaurant associates check the temperatures of their whole staff every day. Anyone with
a temperature above 99.1 F is instructed to rest at home. Similarly, any staff member who
feels ill or shows symptoms related with COVID-19 is instructed to stay at home until
cleared from a consultant or after testing negative post the mandated quarantine period.

When the order is delivered to the customer — Contactless Deliveries
Contactless Deliveries are geared towards maximizing the distance between the delivery
partner and the customer. The delivery partner delivers food outside the customer’s
doorstep and then leaves. The customer gets a notification on the app saying that their
food has been delivered. Fewer the number of customers a delivery partner interacted
with, smaller the chance of him contracting an infection, and smaller still the chance of
him transmitting it to any other customer or restaurant executive. To ensure that orders
are delivered accurately, the delivery partner submits a picture of the delivery every time
he delivers a contactless order.

INTERPRETATION
In above graph, the respondents were told to rank the company based on their satisfaction
and this what I have derived. Swiggy and Zomato both have very high competition in

YES 32 26.2%
NO 90 73.8%
INTERPRETATION
In above pie chart 73.8% respondents believe not to buy online during COVID-19. This
can be because people have now become more health conscious and restrict themselves
from eating outside or ordering online. There may be possibilities that delivery man had
come in contact with a COVID patient, therefore this assumption stops people from
ordering online.

better position for itself.

measures. Majority of them have agreed to good or very good for the safety
