The second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic is having a detrimental impact on the health infrastructure of the country, as well as the economy. The fear of loss of business has prompted several employers to take drastic steps, including laying off several employees. However, these retrenched employees are coming back with a vengeance to start their own enterprises, including eateries and food businesses. For instance, a woman from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, was laid off from her job but she decided to start her own dhaba business which serves an economic thali priced at just Rs. 30! Take a look:
