One of the most critical opportunities was the D.S. Live Project given by the faculties and the Seniors of IBS Bangalore. Where 50+ students were divided into groups of 6 to 7 members for this live project, these groups have been given separate locations in Bangalore city to perform their tasks and work in a team. All the teams have been given the task of collecting necessary information about the street vendors who work so hard in the heavy traffic and still struggling in the market. VENDORS who do not have any time schedules, no relaxations but still have smiles on their faces. Some of them are working for their daily needs, some for their own needs and some are working with the contractual term. Working hard after the pandemic still getting less revenue due to competition with others. ABOUT THE D.S. LIVE PROJECT This Live Project is divided into several groups and given some blocks in Bangalore to talk to Street Vendors and gather information about their shops. These vendors can be the SabjiWala, Chai Shop, Flowers, Local Ice-Cream vendors, etc. The main idea behind this live project is to get the necessary information including: Their Address Kind of Shop Years of Working Difficulties Type of Business Digital Payment acceptance. Also, how these vendors are dealing with the competitors and how they are managing the payment mode by their customers. Are they really facing issues with payments or not? MY EXPERIENCE This Live Project is performed by our sections in 2 groups. Our group contains of 6 Members and the project is performed by us on 26th June 2022. Anchal , Harsh Rathi, Rekha Kumari, Shyam Kasheepuri, Bhanu Prakash and Riya Verma We have performed this live project in the 4th Block of Jayanagar, 45 minutes away from Our IBS. After the college hours, we all gathered near the metro station in Jayanagar and planned the work there. Our work is divided among the members 2 of us is going to record the video, 2 will ask questions, and the remaining will be writing down the answers given by the Street vendors. The first vendor was the local Pani Puri wala whose name is SAJAN, working for more than 9 months near the Metro station in Jayanagar, he has more than 7 shops in different locations, after covid 19, it was very difficult for him to start his work again and because of tough competition in the market, he was not able to recover the loss. Still, he was working from 3 PM to 10PM every day. Somehow, he accepts digital payment mode that helps him to get payment instantly and follow the government guidelines for COVID 19. Due to the pandemic, many vendors faced difficulties to sell their products to customers. Reasons for less revenue are payment mode, competitions, lack of customer reach, wastage of materials etc. One of the vendors named Mithun Das from Rajasthan, working for more than 6 months as an Ice-Cream vendor is a Sole Vendor who did not face any difficulties during the pandemic and follows precautions to make himself as well as his customers safe from coronavirus. Also uses various online payment modes like PhonePe, Googlepay, BharatPe, etc. CONCLUSION This project helps us to gather necessary information about the problems of the Street vendors and their solutions to manage themselves after the pandemic crisis. According to the information provided by the vendors, many of them faced similar problems after the pandemic like, social distancing, wearing masks, payment issues, and many more. Still, some of them have survived and managed to cope-up with the market situation and adapted their work after the pandemic situation.
