The Chairman stated that the COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant disruption in the normal functioning of businesses due to social distancing norms and lockdowns in place to prevent the spread of the disease. The impact on the Company's business and operations was seen due to closure of in-class educational and training centres across India, cancellation/deferment of Grade 10th and 12th exams affecting enrolment pattern in domestic market and economic slowdown that resulted in lower recruitment numbers, an uncertain job market and reduced paying capacity. The Company's estimate of the financial impact during FY 2020-21 due to the pandemic was Rs. 8803 Lakhs in terms of operating revenue.
Mr. Aggarwal informed that the Company adapted to the situation by completely shifting all the value chain activities in the Retail business to digital format under 'Digital Pivot' model. It also significantly scaled back its fixed costs and optimized variable costs to ensure sustained profitability levels. There were other digital upgrades in the systems used by the Company to meet the new requirements.
