According to the company, it took them less than 72 hours to set it up. <div type="twitter" handle="hcltech" handlename="hcltech" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/913030273385644032/hylCx-v__normal.jpg" favoritecount="50" retweetcount="19" status="We thank @noida_authority for the partnership to set up the Integrated Corona Control Room as we fight together aga… https://t.co/p9468Wv2sw" createdat="1586106462000" id="1246846991105064960"></div> The goals of the control room are multifaceted. People can call in by dialing the toll free number, 1800-491-2211. The company will then screen the incoming calls and questions, before deciding which ones should be forwarded to doctors. All the doctors on call have been appointed by the government. If anyone calls in reporting symptoms or thinking that they have Coronavirus, the doctors will recommend what steps should be taken next. The control room will also be used to monitor the cases being reported. The attendants will follow up on any unconfirmed, suspected, and foreign return cases. In addition, the control room will use mobile tracking to monitor individuals who are under home quarantine in order to ensure that they abide by the regulations. However, the IT giant isn’t going at it alone. It has Noida’s administration, police, and health to help as well as the authorities from Greater Noida. “This center will play a critical part in our response to the pandemic and also help us safeguard our citizens,” said the district magistrate, Suhas LY. In March, an employee of HCL Technologies was one of the first to test positive for Covid-19. Currently, 75% of the company’s India-based employees are working from home. The IT giant does not expect the impact of Coronavirus to have a “significant” bearing on its business. “Our exposure to the more impacted verticals are not significant. Booking during this quarter has largely been on track as a significant part of closures happened in January,” HCL Technologies said in a statement.

HCL turns one of its offices in Noida into a Coronavirus control room

While the new government guidelines have allowed IT manufacturing units including mobile phones to resume operations from May 4, there has been no official confirmation yet and Realme India is awaiting the nod to open its factory at Greater Noida and begin streamlining overall processes, its CEO Madhav Sheth said on Sunday. Due to the extended lockdown, there are many challenges faced by businesses with huge impact from sales, manufacturing and cost. "With the recent extension of the lockdown period for two more weeks, we haven't received any official confirmation on when can the production will resume," Madhav Sheth, Vice President, Realme and CEO, Realme India, told IANS. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="75515809" title="Tech Mahindra shares are cheap despite the earnings disappointment, says a research report" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> "We have reached out to the government for approval on opening of factory and now await their decision. We will abide by the government's order strictly, while prioritising people's health," he added. The India Cellular And Electronics Association (ICEA) on Friday welcomed the decision to let the IT manufacturing units including mobile phones resume operations, saying it thanks the MHA for accepting the industry's recommendations to restart manufacturing of IT Hardware products which include mobile phones and mobile devices. The extended lockdown in India has resulted in zero shipments for the smartphone players in India in the month of April as factories are shut. According to Sheth, from manufacturing point of view, even if the government allows factories to reopen, it will take at least two-four weeks for the factory to resume its normal capacity. "We don't want to rush and open our factory as the situation is still not normal and we value our employees and their safety. We would wait for the government's further notice to understand that till what extent the factories can start working and would decide further on that,' he elaborated. The month of March saw a steep annual decline in smartphone shipments, at -19 per cent, due to COVID-19 nationwide lockdown that settled in from March 24. On cost factors, the outbreak of COVID-19 has also influenced countries like China, Korea, the US and Japan, where most of the upstream component suppliers of smartphones are located. "However, the demand on the sales side also got reduced due to the lock-down as most brands couldn't operate their business and had to delay product plans," said Sheth. In the future, he added, the disturbance of manufacturing along with the new surge of demand post lock-down might have further impacts on the price of components, which eventually influences smartphone selling price. "The GST hike and fluctuating rupee exchange rates are other two cost factors," he said. Other problem smartphone manufacturers are facing is lack of manpower. "The migrant workers, truckers and helpers have gone back to their hometown. It will take more time to revamp the entire production cycle even after the lock-down period is over," Sheth told IANS. The bigger uncertainty comes on the demand side. "If the nation's economy and people's income got hampered, then the smartphone demand in 2020 may not be optimistic. We will need to evaluate further how the economy recovers post the market reopen," he emphasized. "Bringing the factory back to work can help us sustain our business and employee welfare. Even during lock-down, we have been paying the same amount of salaries to workers on a monthly basis instead of daily wage," informed Realme CEO, adding that while sustaining business and considering employees welfare are top priorities, "we would hope to revamp the production to normal as fast as possible".
