Insights Opinion is one of the few companies that is focused on looking for viable possibilities at the time of a global crisis. An emerging global leader in Market Research Consultancy, Insights Opinion is determined to transform its processes to meet the demands of the changing times.

SHAROZ GHAURI Director, Client Services

As the pandemic escalated worldwide, Insights Opinion predicted the national lockdown and before it happened, were ready with remote working options for their employees. They took immediate action by adapting a cloud-based system so that the staff could work from home without hurdles. They also took extra measures to ensure data protection and security. Work from home was a viable option and Insights Opinion made the best use of it.

The company, under the leadership of Sharoz Ghauri (Director), is trying to gauge the impact of the resulting dip in the economy and the effect it would have on the attitudes of the people.

The impact on the economy that the lockdown will have will dictate the market behaviour of people all over the world. As a market research venture, it is a challenge and opportunity for Insights Opinion to understand these mindsets.

Not only does the lockdown come with future challenges for the company, it also resulted in sudden changes within. As a market research firm, they had it relatively easier than other businesses as most of the work happens online or via telephonic approach. Therefore, they could expect their employees to cooperate and work remotely while sticking to the self-quarantine guidelines. Fear and panic were the common reactions that most of the employees experienced. However, Insights Opinions did their best to keep them motivated during the tough times and while assuring them that the changes are going to be temporary. The company paid full salary to the field/ support staff who couldn’t work from home as their nature of work doesn’t allow them to work remotely.

With gradual relaxation in the lockdown guidelines, they were able to bring back some flexibility while keeping the social distancing protocols in practice. Of their workforce, 30% could report to the office, while the rest worked remotely. The welfare of the employees as the topmost priority, Insights Opinion took every necessary measure to ensure the same. While in the office, strict measures for wearing masks, using sanitizers, and ensuring 6-feet distance were implemented for the safety of their employees.

There have been some ups and downs, but market research is an ongoing process, even amidst a pandemic. Through constant communication through conference calls, emails, and text messages, they were in touch with their employees to derive similar output as they used to, prior to the lockdown.

With the lockdown, funding becomes an issue for most newly-launched enterprises. Investors are expected to be more vigilant and cautious while making funding decisions due to it. However, it is important to note that the market manages to revive itself after every economic downfall. Meanwhile, Insights Opinion is ready to approach the existing investors for additional funding, as needed.

In addition to being prepared for obstacles themselves, the company continued their CSR activities during the crisis. Insights Opinion has always been proactive in supporting the local community. Their focus was to ensure they support the migrants. The company was feeding 100+ migrants everyday during the lockdown.

The pandemic and the resulting lockdown has impacted every enterprise in one way or the other. A number of companies are now struggling to make it through this lockdown, and looking for ways to survive the resulting dip the economy has taken. But Sharoz looks at it as a chance to innovate and grow:

Imagine getting paid to go or to share your excitement for movement by helping other people with their excursions? The Internet and computerized gadgets make working anyplace you can get online an approach to construct a business around your way of life, including travel.

So gather up your packs, and head off into the nightfall with these six self-start venture thoughts that either includes you voyaging or helping explorers.

Travel Blogger

Blogging on any point is an incredible method to have a self-start venture, however for voyagers, it tends to be especially fun. There are boomers blogging about their undertakings out and about in their RV. Like all web journals, bringing in cash as a movement blogger requires building an after who need to think about your experiences.

There are numerous magazines, on the web and off, that won’t just compensation for your piece however may even take care of everything for the outing. Further, a few distributers enlist journalists to write travel guides.

The test of turning into an independent travel author is in finding the work. Like most independent composing occupations, there is a back and forth movement, so you’ll have to conform to one extreme or another way of life. In addition, you need to hold fast to what editors need, which may vary from your inclinations.

Photographer

Travel Planner

With assets, for example, Expedia, there’s some idea that the requirement for travel planners is lessening. Be that as it may, numerous explorers despite everything like master help and individual assistance. While you can open for business all alone, there are locally situated travel planner openings that could make it faster for you to begin in the event that you have no involvement with booking travel for other people.

One approach to tempt customers is by offering a specialty administration, for example, Disney excursions, or African Safaris. You can likewise concentrate on a market, for example, family travel, travel with pets, or corporate travel.

Tour Guide

So as to be a local area expert from home, you should live in or approach a spot people need to visit. For instance, I live in focal Virginia, under 10 miles from two Founding Father’s homes and various Revolutionary and Civil War memorable locales.

In any case, your visit administration doesn’t simply need to be about history. Numerous more seasoned towns have phantom visits. Or then again in the event that you have extraordinary outside regions you can have grand climbs or fledgling visits. In the event that you know the best foodie foundations, you can set up food visits.

Translator

Interpretation can be in the composed structure, yet in addition through verbal correspondence.

In movement, numerous business heads need interpreters to assist them with arranging bargains. Interpreter abilities can be useful as a local area expert, too.

Social Media Influencer

Turning into an influencer can be more troublesome than different choices; there are individuals via web-based networking media who are getting paid to travel. A portion of these individuals are bloggers, yet many are on Instagram, sharing photographs of their movement undertakings.

By and large, influencers get paid or get complimentary gifts (for example free retreat stays), through sponsorships. Member advertising is another way an online networking influencer can procure a salary.

At the point when you consider quaint little inns you most likely consider enormous old homes with a few rooms. Be that as it may, you just need a solitary room with a restroom to offer a spot to remain for explorers. Alongside a perfect spot to rest, voyagers will expect breakfast and perhaps an evening tidbit or tea. It’s a pleasant method to meet individuals, share your nearby, and find out about others around the globe.
