"Fast forward to today," Holland said. "There's over a billion people [sheltering] in place in their house and primarily they're ordering groceries online, I mean they're ordering virtually everything online. It's just ironic sort of timing that the problem we were trying to solve that day has been concentrated. So COVID is really sort of homing in on our absolute skillset and so it's a really fascinating event versus a horrible tragic time."
Holland says the past few months have been full of retailers trying to recover lost ground in the eCommerce logistics race.

E-commerce firms may get to sell secondary essentials in red zones: Reports | Business Standard
In a major relief to consumers, e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Flipkart and local retailers, might soon be allowed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to sell secondary essentials in red zone areas across the country, except high virus load districts and containment zones, according to industry sources. If allowed, these firms would be allowed to sell secondary-essential items such as phones, laptops, electronic devices and appliances, which comprise most of their sales.
The home ministry, which recently extended the national lockdown, allowed the online sales of essential and secondary-essential products in green and orange zones that have almost contained the coronavirus outbreak, and only essentials in red zones. However, red zones comprise about 130 districts of the country and analysts estimate that the e-commerce companies, as well as the retailers, witness at least 75 per cent demand from these locations.
