Total lockdown has led to work from home option catching on in IT, ITES and even a number of corporate companies. However, for the Micro, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) in the manufacturing sector, all activities have come to a standstill. According to K.V. Karthik, president of Southern India Engineering Manufacturers’ Association, there is less than 5 % administration work at MSMEs in the manufacturing sector. If there is no revenue generating activity, there is no income. Hence, there is nothing much that can be done by the staff from home. Work from home option cannot apply to manufacturing units, he said.
