Abstract: Machine learning (ML)is important in data analysis and decision-making for any business.ML algorithms are used to analyze complex data sets and to extract useful insights from a large collection of data. It enhances the efficiency of decision-makers to arrive at better solutions for complex business problems. Two major glitches faced by all businesses are customer acquisition and preservation. The very first thing the companies can do to reduce the attrition rate is to understand their customers. Even if some customers have churned, the companies should analyze the reasons for their attrition, so that they can make use of this information to reduce the future attrition rate. In this paper, different algorithms are used for identifying the key customers who are making up their minds to switch their mobile network service provider. Predictive modeling with KNN, SVC, logistic regression, decision tree, and random forest with its performance evaluation for prediction of customer attrition.

Abstract: While the human face is significant in friendly communication, sending people's personalities, it is a powerful article with a critical level of variety in its look. Because of this heterogeneity, advancements for face recognition and distinguishing proof have been formulated. Face identification is the principal stage during the time spent facial acknowledgment. We give a point by point and basic evaluation of face recognition and distinguishing proof calculations in this article. We portray a brain network procedure for perceiving a facial picture in light of its unmistakable properties. The essential idea is to track down specific unmistakable perspectives in an individual's facial picture, extricate those highlights, and think about. The methodology and its methodologies remember the distinguishing proof of text for regular pictures and the extraction of adjusted text against a composite background. We present the thought of brain networks with PCA, LDA, and MPCALDA for face acknowledgment, in which we distinguish an obscure test picture by contrasting it with recently recorded preparing photographs, as well as giving data about the individual identified. As shown observationally, the back proliferation technique displays fluctuating paces of precision under different settings. In the space of face identification, we made a calculation equipped for distinguishing human countenances in pictures.

Abstract: The automotive industry is undergoing rapid changes; millions of electric vehicles are expected to hit the roads in the next decade, the fuel will be replaced by electric current and hence different services are expected to grow rapidly. The change is expected right from manufacturing through refueling, repair maintenance, and a number of other allied services.It needs to step with thischanging scenario the provider requires to replace.The most vulnerable element to change is the workforce. With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) some manufacturers might find solace in their continuous quest of increasing productivity while keeping desired profits by way of automation and digitization but still there exist a substantial number of manufacturers who face the challenge which is almost as old as manufacturing itself. And the challenge is how to achieve lasting productivity gains from labor-intensive operations. To meet the challenge of productivity the seemingly obvious solution for the manufacturers is termed swapping labor for capital, which means adopting automation capital and trying to reduce the labor force. But in reality, despite having the availability of sophisticated machinery at lower cost, when compared to using digital and analytics technologies in supporting the people replacing them proves more productive.In emerging economies, providing employment that reduces poverty and strengthens social stability is considered to support the people with new technologies and methodologies that prove more profitable.The highlighting factors have again emerged prominently that the companies must be ensuring that workers feel safe; the feel safe factor must be the highest priority. Providing a protective environment may not be enough to persuade every worker to come back to factories, particularly those workers who have seen better prospectus in the industrially advanced areas and dreamt of providing better future for their children and also juggling responsibilities to care for children and families that may have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. (Gomez, 2021). This paper attempts to explore the journey taken so far by the management practices for the workforce, in light of the various legal and managerial provisions in shaping the automobile industry in Pune.

Abstract: The Quantum Machine Learning is at the combination of the two of the most sought study topics today, i.e., quantum computing and conventional machine learning. Quantum machine learning is the hybrid of two fields. When it comes to quantum machine learning, the goal is to understand how findings from the quantum realm may be applied to challenges in machine learning. Quantity of data is required to properly train a traditional computation model is increasing all the time and is approaching the boundaries of what can be handled by conventional computing machines. The use of quantum computing may help in the continuation of training with large amounts of data in such a circumstance. Quantum machine learning aims to create learning algorithms at a quicker rate than their conventional equivalents, according to the researchers. Classical machine learning is concerned with the search for data patterns and the use of data patterns to predict future occurrences in the data. However, quantum systems exhibit abnormal patterns that are not reproducible by classical systems, leading some to speculate that quantum computers may be able to outperform conventional computers on machine learning tasks in the future. The prior literature on quantum machine learning is reviewed in this paper, as well as the present state of the field.

Abstract: Corporate Social Responsibility means an obligation to improve and protect both the welfare of society as a whole in addition to the interests of the organization. This means managing their business processes while taking into account their economic, social and environmental impact, and considering human rights. Thus, this paper examines the business advantages of corporate social responsibility practices. Previous studies were reviewed and it was revealed that several benefits are derived by organizations that practice corporate social responsibility. Several advantages were identified like: enhanced company and brand reputation, reduction in operation costs, attracting new customers, improves the company’s public image, promotes long run profit, improved relations with the investors, vendors and community, better access to capital, enhanced employee relations, productivity and innovation and stronger relations within communities through stakeholder engagement. An ethical and socially responsible corporate behavior is always rewarded at some point or the other. The paper therefore concludes that businesses that carry out corporate social responsibility activities have a lot to benefit. Thus, it recommends that organizations should pay due consideration to corporate social responsibility and it should be practiced on a continuous basis. The business is surviving and breathing inside the society, so it has some responsibility towards society. Many social problems like lack of education, starvation, poverty, health issues, sanitation, animal protection, housing etc. have arisen out of this situation. Now the companies no longer regard profit as their sole purpose though it has helped many corporations to stay alive in the long term, but at the same time giving something back to the society wherein they operate

Abstract: Business organizations have recently begun to recognize the value of female leadership and management. Organizations with female leadership have a much more positive environment as compared to organizations with only male leaders. The presence of women provides important benefits at all levels of management and across all sectors. Women leaders have proved to be better mentors and guides to junior employees as compared to men. Although women are holding prominent positions in the management sector in greater numbers, there is a long way to go to achieve the closure of gender gap. Considerable efforts have been taken around the world to have an equitable workplace, but professional women still have to face barriers to becoming recognized leaders. Professional women fail to get their deserved respect and are unable to find sufficient opportunities for advancement due to the deeply ingrained attitudes and biases against women in the society. Being a good leader needs dexterity, and for women in these leadership positions, the task may be even more daunting. It is a fact that women have to take a lot of effort to prove themselves more than their male counterparts. They have to put in more hard work for gaining the respect of their peers. These women possess certain common strengths which help them in achieving success in their areas of work. The present study is aimed at finding out the strengths as well as weaknesses of successful women executives working at senior positions in different sectors

Abstract: Women entrepreneurs nowadays are adopting essential roles and have become a big component of the global corporate environment. Women's participation in pioneering activities is extremely important for the supported financial growth and social advancement. Although women in India are playing important roles in society, their entrepreneurial potential has not been fully realized due to women's inferior standing in society. Finding out the status with women entrepreneurs in India is the main goal of this article. This report examines the difficulties and obstacles experienced by women entrepreneurs in India. Women are equally skilled in business management, but they lag behind men. Despite the women's empowerment movement in our country, there are social, cultural, and economic barriers to women's entrepreneurship, with the lack of an entrepreneurial climate being the greatest obstacle. Despite their ability and potential, women are denied access to opportunities, knowledge, and education. Women's family commitments, gender inequity, the challenge of finances, a lowlevel risk-taking mindset, and male-female competition are some of the primary issues cited. Through proper training, rewards, encouragement, and motivation, social acknowledgement of their entrepreneurial ability and the emotional support of their families, the obstacles of women entrepreneurs can be eliminated.

Abstract: Most central or state government laws, amendments therein, development schemes, or frameworks that are aimed directly or indirectly towards holistic and sustainable human development have many objectives/goals in common. Here, the question arises: "Can collaboration or cooperation among all such departments, government agencies, and implementation authorities/partners which are responsible for the implementation of such laws, schemes, or frameworks help us to achieve human development goals more efficiently and effectively?". This research paper aimed to answer this crucial question. This is a conceptual study based on secondary data collected from various government websites, reports, and portals. In 2015, the United Nations identified seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. Also, as stated in Schedule VII of the Companies Act 2013, the Indian government made Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending mandatory for all organizations falling under the purview of the act. The Indian government also identified 112 socioeconomically underdeveloped districts (known as Aspirational districts) in 2018 and developed an Aspirational District Program (ADP) for bringing these districts into the mainstream by improving the Human Development Index among these districts and also by reducing regional disparities. This research established the linkages between SDGs, CSR Schedule VII activities, and the key domains of ADP through analyzing and extracting common objectives and goals among all three. Further, the CSR spending among all Aspirational districts in the years 2018-19,2019-20, and 2020-21 demonstrated that SDGs can be achieved through CSR by focusing on ADP's key domains, demonstrating the ability of aspirational districts to achieve SDGs.

Abstract: Machine learning (ML), which has been studied since the 1950s, is a branch of artificial intelligence that allows machines to adapt and learn from data rather than being programmed. In more recent times, ML has been used in systems including robotics, autonomous vehicles, smart power grids, and process control. These kinds of systems directly affect human safety and life. Their ML models must therefore be protected from adversaries that aim to damage users or compromise their privacy. The many advantages that machine learning has provided for security and CPS/IoT, both generally and specifically, including the improvement of intrusion detection systems and decision accuracy in CPS/IoT. CPS stands for Cyber-Physical Systems. High-tech sensors combined with actual physical places make up cyber-physical systems (CPS). In the context of CPS systems, these intimate couplings of sensors with communication infrastructure that are inextricably linked to society's Crucial Infrastructures (C.I.) are more frequently observed. The use of adversarial machine learning research to cyber-physical systems (CPS) like autonomous vehicles and healthcare is examined in this paper. As a result, this study will provide as a springboard for further investigation into adversarial ML and CPSs. Providing a deeper grasp of this new trans disciplinary methodology is the goal of this study. The characteristics of CPSs are discussed.

Abstract: The growth of the Indian capital market is being fueled by the foreign institutional investors (FII), whose increasing presence is a sign of the advancements made in that industry. Developing nations always strive to enhance their financial markets in the hopes of luring more capital from elsewhere. This has led to new levels of development and increased volatility in the Indian financial markets, which has created an opportunity for fresh research into international institutional investments and the Indian financial market. This study aims to evaluate the impact of international institutional investors' trading activity on the Indian stock market. Our analysis showed that the returns on the Indian stock market have not been much impacted since the market was opened to investors from other nations, but the market's volatility has dramatically decreased. Due to its size, the Indian stock market is a favorite among investors wishing to make investments. The Indian market has attracted an increasing number of domestic as well as foreign investor groups due to its steady growth in recent years. Institutional investors are responsible for the majority of the funds invested in the Indian stock market and among these investors, foreign institutional investors (also known as FIIs) are the most important. The question of whether these Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) are responsible for regulating India's capital markets is an important one. This study examines whether market movements are attributed to these investors and what impact they have on capital markets. Due to the short-term nature of FII investments, there can be a two-way causal relationship between FII returns and returns in other domestic financial markets such as financial markets, stock markets and foreign exchange markets

Abstract: In the 21st century, mobile phones have become one of the best gifts of technology. Young people are the most avid users of mobile phones. Mobile phones today have infinite resources that can be used in various ways for various purposes. Students' behaviour may change as a result of excessive use of mobiles, affecting their academic performance. According to the study, mobile phone usage has increased. During classes, students stuck to this device, thus affecting their academic performance. In addition, the results indicate that the use of mobile phones has become an addiction among young people. This study aims to investigate the relationship between mobile phones and behavioral modifications among students and their academic achievement. Even before the pandemic, it was important for students to use their phones for education. Instead of making xerox copies, students carry digital notes on their phones. When they want to take a survey, it's easier. Most importantly, using a mobile phone to conduct research for a project when you don't have access to a computer or laptop is extremely convenient. It is safe to assume that some of the eLearning platform's trends will continue even in the post-pandemic world because of the pandemic's complete shift from offline teaching to eLearning. The use of digital notes, prerecorded lectures for revision, and the use of Google Forms for online tests are trends. The internet is one of the readily available sources of knowledge in today's diversified knowledge environment. Students who always carry a mobile phone can check out information more engagingly, which will accelerate their learning. The student has the ability to immediately dispel any doubts they may have had regarding something the instructor was teaching. There are so many apps for students in the App Store that the student can get help with a subject in which he or she is lacking. The primary goals of the study were as follows: to ascertain the students' perceptions of how simple it is for them to use a smartphone for learning purposes, to ascertain the students' perceptions of how useful a smartphone is for academic achievement, to ascertain the impact of smartphone use on students' learning activities, and to ascertain the factors that prevent students from using smartphones as learning tools. As a result of the New Education Policy's changes to the technology and educational system, the findings showed that the use of mobile phones for educational purposes is essential for improved student performance. In this technologically advanced world, numerous educational apps developed by app development firms that also support mobile devices are essential. Methods: A survey-based study has conducted among randomly selected Graduate students (N=190), 89 males and 101 females, in the age group of 17-25 years. For this study , selected students from various courses such Bcom(60), Bsc(18) , B.A(36), BCA(61), Bvoc(15) . In this study, the test of mobile dependence was used to assess the dependence on mobile phones, while the LIKERT scale was used to evaluate the behavioral changes based on self-reports

Abstract: Data gains its real importance when used to predict the future rather than just analyzing the past. Propensity modelling looks at the past behavior and uses that information to make predictions of tomorrow and provides a foresight. Uncertainty has always been an elemental aspect of any business. In almost most of the businesses success or failure depends on human behavior. Through such behavior we can derive patterns which help us to come to various conclusions. Propensity modelling is a technique used to derive patterns and predict such behavior. Propensity modelling predicts what a customer is likely to do with the help of machine learning algorithms which explore patterns in human behavior. This paper aims to explore the various areas where propensity modelling has been used. It also aims to suggest ways of evaluating the performance of the propensity model

The far reaching utilization of Bitcoin, a sort of computerized cryptographic money, requires the improvement of a significant empowering innovation known as blockchain innovation. The expression "distributed computing" alludes to the procedure of putting away, making due, and handling information by means of the utilization of an organization of far off servers that are facilitated on the web as opposed to a PC or a neighborhood server. It is still facing an extraordinary number of issues, including consistency, information about the executives, information security, and trustworthiness. In this article, we have talked about the absolute most serious issues that are at present being looked at by the cloud, as well as a few potential arrangements that incorporate consolidating the cloud with blockchain innovation. To delineate the transcendence of blockchains, we decide to concentrate on a speedy evaluation on past works that focused on consolidating blockchain innovation with distributed computing. Throughout this examination, we have additionally planned an engineering that incorporates blockchain innovation with distributed computing and uncovers the correspondence that happens between blockchain innovation and distributed computing.
