It is this very mindset that helped them overcome the difficult pandemic situation. During the lockdown, their head office staff operated from home, and the project staff were working with the clients adhering to all the necessary precautions and regulations. However, the downside was that their revenues slowed down, and new upcoming projects were put on hold. At that time, the Rasa team continued to work on small projects to keep moving, and remained positive despite the challenges. In fact, it was this turbulent time that made Rasa even more vigorous about their work and motivated them to sail through because they had the conviction that they would see this situation through. In fact, it was the very pandemic that reinforced the importance of technological advancements across all sectors and has forever changed the market behavior since its occurence. It led to all the companies focusing on efficiency, operations, new markets, and a whole new way of working. The technological evolution like AI, ML, VR, AR, Robotics, Cyber Security, Data Science, and Cloud leveraging which opened doors for them to serve clients with innovative solutions.
