My Amazon Guy Stuck in India During COVID-19 with Sean Halls #24
Sean Halls is currently in India in the midst of a shutdown and COVID-19. To get a flight out of India right now it would cost $6,000. Sean is hunkering down. I used to go to high school with Sean and we played chess, basketball, and MTG back in the day. Today Sean runs a team of developers in medical technologies.
His career path went down the development work track. During a Hackathon event Sean got a cold, and in a turn of events it led him to end up in India. During an event in his worst pain of his life, he was collapsed on the floor following a flight descent in India. It was the enlightening moment in time for him. Over the years he ended up staying. And it led to him to helping people through development in the medical industry.
Amazon is strong in India. But only 2% of India is utilizing ecommerce to where it could go. Volume is still in traditional markets and streets today in India. "People are willing to pay for convenience than high quality."
Flattening the Coronavirus Curve Is Not Enough
