Abstract
The whole world is in the crisis of monumental proportions because of the effects of COVID 19. It is the most deadly pandemic not only in India but globally. The cost of the pandemic as concerning the loss of human lives is painful, but the effects on the global economy and the prospects for sustainable development are also worrying. How to sustain the business organization in this time of pandemic is one of the most crucial questions raised in this time.
The present paper investigates the role of business leaders in this time of COVID 19 and their concerns towards business sustainability with special reflection to Indian business organisations. This paper basically deals with two questions the first one is what is COVID 19 and its effects, the second one is the role of transformational leaders towards business sustainability in this time of the pandemic.
