COVID-19 known as CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 a pandemic outbreak that has killed 53,069 lives worldwide. Whole world is fighting against this disease to stop and majorly the doctors and policemen are in the frontline to control this disease.
All over the world, the government has declared lockdown to stop the spread of disease and to get control over it where we can see ECONOMY is slowing down and people have self-quarantine themselves at home to be safe and secure. Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi declared a 21 days lockdown to stop the spread of the disease where major IT companies have decided to work from home for the business continuity.
E-commerce companies have stopped all the services which are not essential till the lockdown gets over. However, citizens have to maintain social distance. SMB’s (Small and Medium businesses Sector) are at risk of their business being stopped due to COVID-19
Problems that are faced by SMBs to be in the business are as follows.
- Social distancing where they cannot reach out to every customer.
- Marketing automation is not in place.
- High usage of resources.
- Unable to manage each customer’s query.
EASEBUZZ being an E-commerce payment gateway company that supports digital payment services is working hard for the SMB’s to help their business working and force digital payments as RBI has also stated to use digital payments rather than using cash payment. Using digital payments will reduce below key points
- Cost savings through increased efficiency and speed.
- Transparency and security by increasing accountability and tracking, reducing corruption and theft as a result.

We have seen customers mostly visit the bank for the repayment, by using EasyCollect (Payment reminder) customers will be able to pay through payment link and they don’t have to visit the bank for the repayment. This will also ensure to maintain social distancing and help to stop the spread of the disease.

As schools and colleges cannot conduct such activities in such a crisis we Easebuzz provide a solution to create video chat rooms where colleges can conduct group discussions and personal interviews and students can attend this activity remotely or by staying home.
As you can see, exam season is near and schools and colleges being shut down cannot conduct exams for students. Students are suffering because of such a crisis. We Easebuzz provides a product named Exambuzz where students can give exams online and colleges can also conduct exams for students.
