Businesses Adapt to Survive COVID

Dave Grunebaum

   CYBERJAYA, MALAYSIA - Sri Themudu's seasonal business, Diyaa
   Confectionary, is a success story at a time many businesses are
   struggling in the COVID-19 economic climate.

   His company has for eight years catered to Malaysian families and local
   companies that buy gift baskets of snacks such as crackers, cookies and
   coconut candy for Diwali, the Indian festival of lights, known as
   Deepavali in Malaysia.

   The snacks, made from scratch in the kitchens of his mother and family
   friends, start at about $8 each.
