Several low-income entrepreneurs set up small workshops at home to save on rentals and wages
In an attempt to overcome the pandemic-induced financial crisis, several low-income entrepreneurs running micro industrial units are exploring work-from-home (WFH) option in Kozhikode district of Kerala by setting up small workshops at home. With few takers for industrial and fabrication work, owners of such units have been going through a tough period unable to pay rents and wages. “It may take several months to return to normality. Instead of investing a huge sum on rentals, we are just trying to manage work orders from home,” said V. Sathyan, an aluminium fabrication unit owner in the city. He added that a few accessories and equipment were brought home to run the business.
