At the very beginning, when the Indian Government announced the lockdown, you must have seen a long queue in the grocery stores. No one was interested in the hoarding of gold, silver, or luxury items as people do during normal time. In the wake of the COVID-19, Indians spending habits proved that the outbreak is the pinch in their wallets. In India, there is a drop in consumer spending, and digital payments become the preference. Indians turned more rationale consumers as the pandemic rolls on. Moreover, out of pocket spending on healthcare has also increased, and millennials realized the importance of health insurance policy. So, let's check out more about how Indians have been spending during the corona crisis:
