Ashwin Srivastava, CEO of Sapio Analytics, spoke to us about the need of youth participation in the fight against COVID-19. "We must prepare ourselves to prevent COVID-19 from spreading further. The impact of the pandemic in smaller towns of India has been so significant that the same is not manifested fully yet. We need entire India to come together to support each other.

We need to touch base with citizens in every village to make sure no one is missed out", says Srivastava.
