Abstract: Internet advancement has led to online shopping for various products and services, including food. Online food shopping is a relatively new process and should be understood well to benefit the markets. The present study aims to study the online food purchases frequency in the context of market segments. This research study is carried out in New Delhi (NCR) region with a sample size of 427 responses. Descriptive data were analyzed through means, percentage and frequency. Inferential data was analyzed for checking of association and correlation. Results show that young and educated consumers are the most frequent buyers of online food. Respondents have a rational personality and hold a moderate interest in online food purchasing. Results of Chi-square indicate the association between age, income, education and online food purchase frequency. Furthermore, there is no correlation between psychographic attributes and online food purchase frequency. Finally, there is a correlation relationship between usage status and online food purchase frequency but no relationship between usage rate and online food purchase frequency.

Abstract: This research article presents statistical analysis of the financial performance of two IT firms, HCL & MINDTREE based on its yearly financial reporting for the specified time frame of 2017-2018 to 2021-22. The study aims to assess the liquidity, profitability, capital structure, and working capital situation of both IT companies. The T-test is employed in this study to conduct a comparative examination of both companies. The analysis demonstrates that (1) Due to higher use of outside debt it has raised the interest load on MINDTREE and thus leads to unsatisfactory scenario. (2) It has also been determined that the liquidity situation is below the allowed level due to an increase in current obligations. (3) The capital structure of MINDTREE indicates a greater reliance on external financing as opposed to issuing stocks. Wipro is advised to grow internal debt, increase production levels, control operating costs, and implement a forward integration plan in order to expand the market.

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered an unprecedented global crisis, profoundly affecting all aspects of society, including the business landscape and societal well-being. This study investigates the multifaceted impact of the pandemic on two critical dimensions: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices among organizations and the Human Development Index (HDI) of nations. Drawing on a comprehensive analysis of data spanning the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods, this research explores the complex interplay between these two constructs. The study assesses how the pandemic has influenced CSR initiatives across diverse industries and regions. It examines changes in CSR strategies, resource allocation, and the prioritization of social and environmental responsibility in corporate decision-making. The research also investigates whether the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for heightened CSR engagement or has imposed limitations on organizations' ability to fulfill their CSR commitments. This study delves into the impact of COVID-19 on the Human Development Index, a measure encompassing health, education, and income indicators. It explores how disruptions caused by the pandemic, such as healthcare strain, educational challenges, and economic recessions, have affected nations' HDI scores. The research also examines the potential correlation between nations with robust CSR practices and their ability to mitigate the adverse effects of the pandemic on human development. Findings from this study provide valuable insights into the dynamic relationship between corporate social responsibility and societal well-being during times of crisis. Understanding the pandemic's influence on CSR and HDI can inform stakeholders, including businesses, policymakers, and international organizations, as they navigate the path to recovery and long-term sustainability in a post-pandemic world. As the world grapples with the enduring effects of the COVID-19 crisis, this research sheds light on the evolving landscape of corporate responsibility and its integral role in shaping human development outcomes.
Abstract: The World Economic Forum's founder and executive chairman, Klaus Schwab, coined the phrase "fourth industrial revolution" to characterize a situation in which people use linked technology to facilitate and govern their lives, allowing them to seamlessly transition between offline and digital worlds. Our lives and economy are drastically altered by the first industrial revolution, which replaces the rural and handicraft economies with one dominated by industry and machine production.
During the second industrial revolution, mass manufacturing is facilitated and accelerated by oil and electricity. Information technology was introduced during the third industrial revolution and was utilized to automate production. The industrial revolutions are sometimes seen as distinct events, but when taken as a whole, they make more sense as a chain of developments that built on the inventions of the preceding revolution and resulted in increasingly sophisticated modes of production.
The so-called fourth industrial revolution, which includes a number of cutting-edge technologies and has the potential to advance faster and more broadly than any previous period in human history, might see artificial intelligence completely transform everything.
The government, academia, business, and civil society are all interested in comprehending the complex effects of the impending industrial revolution, but it is difficult to forecast how it will unfold. Experts believe that while developing technologies could be extremely beneficial to humanity, they also carry a risk to our very existence.
If we talk with reference to India, Artificial intelligence is still at the start of business developments in all levels. This article discusses the major features, benefits, risks, opportunities and challenges of the fourth industrial revolutions with respect to Artificial intelligence with reference to various industries in India.
