Lockdown diaries: Zoom most-used app for Burgeon Law founder

Lately, Roma Priya, Founder of Burgeon Law, has been using the much-talked about video-conferencing app, Zoom, the most. The law firm boss, who is working from home, told ET Panache that the application enables her to connect with her entire team, seamlessly.

"I am sure many people across the world have laid their hands on this app for the first time during the lockdown, and are finding it helpful," she added.

A book Priya suggests to read during the lockdown is 'The Entrepreneur's Survival Guide' by Mark Paul. "I find the message of this book to be very pervasive," she stressed.


She also suggest reading 'Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking' by Malcolm Gladwell. "It is a must-read book for anyone who has an entrepreneurial spirit," she pointed out.

Priya loves Airpods, and calls them a completely life-changing invention. "Being on calls throughout the day can be quite exhausting. It gives the convenience of not having to lift your phone every single time," she concluded.
