     As per The World Bank and rating agencies, India's growth for FY2021
    with the lowest figures India has seen in three decades since India's
    economic liberalization in the 1990s.

     On 26 May, CRISIL announced that this will perhaps be India's worst


    recession since independence.
     Unemployment rose from 6.7% on 15 March to 26% on 19 April.

     During the lockdown, an estimated 14 crore (140 million) people lost


    employment while salaries were cut for many others.

    reported followed by sales staff and all other sectors.

     The MSME sector employs over 110 million Indians and contributes nearly
    30% to India’s GDP. The proposed Rs. 10,000 crore Fund of Funds can
    realistically pay salaries of only 5% of the total employees, if we consider
    Rs 20,000 average monthly salary. This clearly indicates that the small
    businesses still need to work hard to ride out the storm on their own and
    those who will wait for government help tend to die sooner.

    cities. Small businesses were started to open up.

     To help small businesses to Bounce Back and new revenue could be


    generated, BadaBusiness decided to organise yet another-
