Prof. Singh always wondered "As India enters Unlock 2.0, with increasing relaxation and interaction among people in the public spaces, the major areas of concerns remain unaddressed; how does one know whether others are well or not well? How to recognize if the minimum distance of 2-meters or 6-feet is maintained? How does one sanitize their belongings? How does one isolate masks, and have a secure place not infecting other belongings? By being safe we can break this chain of infection and help people with low immunity survive.– The answer is Covest, that helps us combat the new normal."

Further, he added, "Since I also work with craft sector increasing unemployment and with no business in last few months they have gone into total distress, so I decided to incorporate 'handloom fabric' and crafts so that it can bring huge employment and livelihood opportunities for people engaged into textile sector, especially traditional textiles."</p>.
