Yes in Z5 the challenge was you know how to get across for people to get adapted to the platform and thankfully the pandemic turned that into a big opportunity for them because everybody was starved for entertainment.

Original context. Current reading.
Recorded in 2021, this captures the language, platforms and constraints of its time. Read it now by separating those period-specific details from the enduring operating question: how should AI and attention improve the decision?
Durable tests for the work.
- Use AI to improve a decision or outcome—not to decorate the plan.
- Earn attention with relevance before scaling reach.

I think digital is a success story for everybody today. It's not only me who's talking about digital because our entire world is revolving around digital whether we are like now doing a call on zoom or whether we are on MS Teams or whether we are on a Google Meet or we are ordering groceries at home or we are doing digital transactions in terms of making payments etc. So I think the pandemic while it has taught us a lot in terms of valuing people, valuing lives, valuing things around you, it has also thrown many opportunities and every adversity as they say there is an opportunity and it is only in the interest of people at last to convert those opportunities that come their way and see how to take it forward. Being part of the business community
obviously business growth has been a big challenge and that challenge has been across categories. It is not only the category that one is working in and I'm coming from my Z5 experience and now of course lending it on to Patanjali as well. So yes in Z5 the challenge was you know how to get across for people to get adapted to the platform and thankfully the pandemic turned that into a big opportunity for them because everybody was starved for entertainment. We were locked in our houses. How much can you see your husband or your wife or your kids and how much can you cook and what not you can do. Given that I think that opportunity in terms of disseminating content and new and interesting
content to the audiences was a big opportunity for Z5 and that is where I think Z5 gained the ground and it converted that particular adversity into an opportunity for them. Coming to where I am currently though I'm very new and coming from a brand perspective again Patanjali is working in the Ayurvedic category. They are the leaders in Ayurveda and again imagine the kind of opportunity that has come to their fore because all said and done whether it is yoga or whether it is Ayurveda or the use of Ayurvedic medicines etc. It is time tested from the I think from old age of Rishis and Munis who've been practicing Ayurveda. So I think again that is something which has also beautifully lend itself with the digital
transformation piece because today we are going online and ordering Ayurveda products whether it is a Tulsi or whether it is a Giloy or whether it is any other such condiment which kind of helps you with your health and also again digitally looking at various apps which are teaching you wellness, yoga etc. So I think if you look at it from any aspect of business, any category of business, I think while there have been a lot of drawbacks and a lot of pushbacks people have moved back I think everybody who's used this as an opportunity is somebody who's moved you know forward and is now possibly seeing growth and hopefully will grow in times to come.
