In view of the tremendous success of the
‘60 Minutes Compliance’ webinar held on
April 9, 2020 and requests pouring in from several industry quarters and
professionals to organise a second session in order to address few more
pertinent questions pertaining to Labour Law Compliances vis-à-vis COVID-19, Aparajitha Corporate Services Private
Limited, the country’s No. 1 company for Compliance, today organised Version
2.0 of the ‘60 Minutes Compliance’ webinar to discuss the impact on Labour Law
Compliances due to the Coronavirus lockdown. These sessions are aimed towards
benefitting the companies and their Human Resource fraternity by providing several
guidelines in order to help them survive through the COVID-19 crisis.

overwhelming response we received for the webinar on the impact of COVID-19 on
Labour Law Compliances. The ‘60 Minutes Compliance’ webinars series are in
line with Aparajitha’s vision for continuous endeavor in bringing knowledge expertise

of Labour and Capital is of paramount importance at all times, and more so when
