It has been more than a year now since the first lockdown was imposed in India due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of our lives have been impacted heavily due to it and has changed a lot since then. One sector that has faced drastic challenges during these testing times is the small to medium-scaled enterprises(SMEs) in our nation.

SMEs are a very important sector of our economy, contributing significantly to employment generation, innovation, exports, and inclusive growth.SMEs are the backbone of the socio-economic development of our country. It accounts for 45% of total industrial production, 40% of total exports, and contributes proportionally to the GDP. But due to the ongoing pandemic, this progress was halted. It is estimated by Dun & Bradstreet that over 82% of SMEs had a negative impact during COVID-19.

Now if we have a further look inwards, we find that the working force of these SMEs, i.e. the workers/employees got astray a lot. We very well saw their plight when they had to migrate to their homeland due to the unavailability of jobs or the unwillingness of their employers to contact them.

Therefore, to bridge this evergrowing gap during these most testing of times for the human race, We at SalaryBook have tried to make our contribution to help SMEs and the workforce of our nation, i.e. the labours/employees to bloom again by coming up with a mobile application, SalaryBook(https://salarybook.co.in/).
