COVID-19 Impact on AppViewX and TechChefs: Adapting Amidst the Pandemic
In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, two innovative companies - TechChefs and AppViewX - have shown remarkable resilience and adaptability.
TechChefs, a Bangalore-based company specialising in Product Engineering, has been driving its "spot award" initiative to recognise the commitment and passion of its 300 employees. The company, founded in 2015 by five professionals, two of whom are serial entrepreneurs, has consistently recorded a 100% year-on-year growth since its inception.
Meanwhile, AppViewX, a virtually connected organisation with teams working across multiple geographies and time zones, has been serving Fortune 1000 organisations in various sectors such as financial services, banking, healthcare, oil and gas, manufacturing, and high tech. Five of the top ten global commercial banks, four of the top ten global media companies, and five of the top ten leading healthcare providers use AppViewX's services.
AppViewX is a modular, low-code software application that automates and orchestrates Network Infrastructure and Certificate Management. The platform improves agility, enforces compliance, eliminates errors, and reduces costs, making it an invaluable tool for businesses during these challenging times.
Before the lockdown, both TechChefs and AppViewX had mandated a work from home model across all local offices. To ensure seamless operations, TechChefs has equipped all employees with necessary IT infrastructure, seamless internet connectivity, and video and audio calling applications. Similarly, AppViewX has secured all employee IT infrastructures with the latest updates and patches to eliminate the risk associated with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
The COVID-19 pandemic has tested corporate crisis preparedness and business continuity. Anand Purusothaman, Founder and CTO of AppViewX, stated that the pandemic has been a stern test, but their investment in cloud-based services, virtual services, and video conferencing has proven to be a wise decision.
Vikram Pawar, the Co-Founder and CEO of TechChefs, has also emphasised the importance of staying connected during these times. Video calls are mandatory for all leadership calls and key meetings at AppViewX to maintain a sense of normalcy and conduct business as usual. TechChefs is encouraging employees to post pictures of the fun element of working from home to break the monotony.
In a commendable move, TechChefs has procured Insurance cover, exclusively for COVID-19, for all of its 315 employees with a cover of Rs. 5 Lakhs for each employee. This demonstrates TechChefs' commitment to the well-being of its employees during these difficult times.
In conclusion, TechChefs and AppViewX have shown remarkable resilience and adaptability in navigating the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Their focus on employee welfare, business continuity, and innovative solutions has set them apart in these challenging times.
