What did top leaders have to say on this?

Elaborating more on this, Nikhil Arora, Managing Director and Vice President, GoDaddy India, said:

India is largely a “Do-It-For-Me (DIFM)” market and as necessitated by COVID-19. So, the next wave of small businesses that are preparing to come online will rely heavily on web designers and developers to help them put their best foot forward. Supporting our customers in India and being available to help them grow online has always been a key element of our value proposition. On the occasion of Web Designer Day, we are glad to extend our support to the web professional community through these offerings and continue to pave the way for these small businesses to help other small businesses in India realize the benefits of having an online presence, especially in today’s challenging environment.
