Tehran, Iran – Like many Iranian small business owners, Ehsan never could have imagined the challenges 2020 would throw at him.
The 41-year old manufactures shirts, pants, tops, and accessories at his workshop just outside Tehran that he then sells at a wholesale shop he owns in the Grand Bazaar in the Iranian capital.
Between the two establishments, he employs roughly 50 people.
