Coronavirus outbreak: Start-up entrepreneurs call for lockdown across India

The group claims that India could have between 600-2,500 positive coronavirus cases as compared to the current 137 reported in the country

As the country grapples with rising coronavirus cases, start-up entrepreneurs have come up with an action plan requesting the government to impose Section 144 in major cities across the country for 14 days in order to avoid a Wuhan-like situation in the country.

The plan has been signed by over 50 start-up entrepreneurs including RedBus founder Phanindra Sama, Cred CEO Kunal Shah, Snapdeal CEO Kunal Bahl and Bounce founders Vivekananda Hallekere, Varun Agni, and Anil G among others. 

“The next two weeks are very crucial and we are helping the government with data points to take quick action,” said Hallekere,
