The year 2020 was a nightmare for the whole world. And still, the nightmare is going on with its new variant and all. The COVID-19 was not easy for any country, business, and people around the world. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it also has an impact on our life in 2021 as well. A huge number of companies, startups, organizations, enterprises, and entrepreneurs faced and are still facing losses for the pandemic. Some businesses need to shut down as they couldn't cope up with the hit of COVID-19. It's bad for business without any doubt.

However, if you want to start a business at this time, you have to keep the new normal world in your consideration. Many things changed after the virus hits the world, people's perspectives of interacting with things and others, purchasing products and services online and offline, and the way of working drastically changed in just one year. Some changes are permanent and some are temporary. But to find out which one is temporary and which one is permanent we have to wait a long time. We have made a list of business ideas that will bloom in this pandemic time and hopefully after that as well. So let's jump to the list;
