As we approach another phase of what would be the most unprecedented health, social, and economic crisis our generation has had to endure, some patterns are emerging that indicate what this “new normal” will look like. Even though it is too early to clearly understand the social and health impacts of COVID-19, the economic impact this pandemic continues to have on businesses is hugely disruptive. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically disrupted and influenced the way people communicate, work, and shop. A PYMNTS study says, “Roughly 85 percent of U.S. consumers said they were concerned on some level about contracting the virus,” and a survey by eMarketer revealed that nearly 60% - 85% of internet users across China and South-East Asia have avoided crowded public places to mitigate the risk of contracting the virus.

As part of Nisum’s effort to fight against the spread of COVID-19, Nisum provided pro bono services to Teledoc, a telemedicine service that provides general medical, mental health, and complex virtual care to patients. Since the pandemic hit, the US-based company’s Chilean branch, Telesalud SPA, received a 500x increase in demand and their current technology platform was not able to support the demand. 

Nisum builds a platform pro bono to optimize the distribution of 24,000+ meals daily on behalf of a Mumbai-based nonprofit.

Nisum has partnered with Food -Ek Chhoti Se Aasha to create a campaign to raise enough money to provide 100,000 meals to stranded workers in Mumbai during the national lockdown due to COVID-19. Each meal costs 33 cents, so we are asking you to donate what you can to support these vulnerable individuals so far away from their homes during this global pandemic.
