#NAMA: How e-commerce companies used technology to solve issues during lockdown February 23, 2021 Technology was what allowed e-commerce companies to react, and then adapt, to unprecedented lockdowns in the country, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with the confusing ground reality of differing rules and regulations even in different parts of the same city, companies like Flipkart and Zomato used technology to ensure close coordination within their supply chain. MediaNama spoke to Amitesh Jha, Senior Vice-President at Flipkart and Mohit Sardana, Chief Operating Officer for food delivery at Zomato last week, to understand what they had to do to keep the show running, and how different their operations are from a year ago. MediaNama hosted the discussion with support from Flipkart. Stanford Alumni India Chapter (North & East) was a Community Partner and the Headstart Network was the Startup Ecosystem Partner for this session.
