Amul lauds web based apps for connecting people with their family, work during lockdown

Indian dairy cooperative, Amul, has released a new doodle to laud the Web-based tools and apps that are making the lives easier for the people confined at homes during the coronavirus pandemic. In a new art that the company shared on its official handle across all platforms on social media, it can be seen thanking the services provided by the tools that have connected the family, friends, and loved ones during the era of social distancing. 

The colourful tropical depicts 4 individuals having Amul butter while “covideo conferencing” as Amul wrote. The art also portrayed a punchline, “Make your taste buds zoom”. While the coronavirus cases in India have hit 31,332, the government extended the pan India lockdown earlier to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus. This included orders to all companies to ask the employees to work from home. Hence, the remote work turned into the new norm, and video conferencing has become a necessary tool that has proved to be invaluable to the business and the people.
