Abstract: 2020 was the year of COVID-19, which clearly decimated the economy and brought about a long year of uncertainty. Priorly, deciding dividend pay-out and allocation of corporate governance funds was pretty straightforward. It was either doe through previously followed methods or after taking into consideration the shareholders' wish. But this year and the upcoming years are different. Several factors have to be taken into consideration by the corporate houses-if they are capable to do so at all. This article is a study if how the companies' strategy would change in a post COVID-19 era. Exploratory research has been undertaken for the same.
