  • Role of Neuromarketing in Assessing Consumer Purchase Intention: A Literature Review
    Shireen Naaz, Rahela Farooqui, Surabhi Singh
    Neuromarketing in the Age of AI, 2026
    Consumer purchase intentions significantly influence buying behavior and market dynamics. Exploring these intentions explicitly and through tools that delve into the subconscious is crucial. With the advent of neuromarketing, the neural responses to any marketing stimuli can be studied. This has benefitted all aspects, especially in understanding the factors directly impacting the purchase intention. This paper aims to analyze the role of neuroimaging tools in assessing or predicting consumer purchase intentions. It is qualitative research that explores these aspects through a literature survey. Research findings indicate that neuromarketing explores consumers' emotional engagement through various neuro tools. Additionally, neuromarketing assesses factors with a significant impact on purchasing behavior by recording sensory experiences and cognitive evaluations.

    Ankit Garg, Surabhi Singh, Deepti Verma, Swati Tripathi, Pankaj Chauhan
    Metaverse Dynamics Exploring the Intersection of Technology Business Transformation and User Experience, 2026
    The metaverse’s rise is revolutionizing human–computer interaction, making it more intuitive, immersive, and fluid than before. This article looks at how human–computer relationships are evolving in the metaverse age. While there are numerous benefits to the new forms of interaction brought about by the metaverse, there are also several new social problems that require attention. Concerns regarding privacy, surveillance capitalism, pathologies associated with cyberspace, the intensification of pre-existing social problems, and environmental impacts are some of these challenges. The authors discuss potential rules that would be necessary to balance the expansion of the metaverse with preserving safety and security for the good of society, particularly in view of sustainable development objectives. The authors conclude with ethical design principles for building a sustainable metaverse that addresses these and other social concerns.
  • Green Logistics 5.0: An Examination of Innovation Driven by Sustainability Using Foundation Models in Logistics
    Ankit Garg, Ruchika Nayyar, Surabhi Singh, Himanshu Sharma, Rahul Singhal
    Emerging Trends in Smart Logistics Technologies, 2025
    This chapter investigates how foundation models might be incorporated into Logistics 5.0 to support a green strategy that fosters sustainability and long-term financial viability. Through the use of foundation models, the study seeks to improve social responsibility, guarantee sustainable innovation, and organize the environmental framework of the logistics sector. The company ideology, products, processes, and business models are all included in the multi-layered approach, which emphasizes sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) as a need rather than just a tactic. According to the results, artificial intelligence—in particular, foundation models can achieve social, economic, and governance goals while optimizing a range of logistical processes, such as route planning, packaging reduction, and warehouse management.

  • Skill Development Through Community Engagement: Linking Student Participation To Employability Outcomes
    Ms.Anshul Sharma
    Journal of Applied Bioanalysis, 2025
  • Enhancing Smart City Data Clarifying by Integrating Crowd Computing and Safe Cloud Networks
    Ankit Garg, Surabhi Singh, Parth Balyan, Anubhav Sharma, Manu Priya Gaur, Sarjue Pandita
    2025 International Conference on Intelligent and Secure Engineering Solutions Cises 2025, 2025
    Operation of cloud infrastructure and platform services in intelligent city settings poses several challenges, especially related to software management and segmentation of legal contracts. This article discusses these challenges by suggesting a consolidated framework that utilises data obfuscation and classification methods to improve data security and effectiveness. Particularly, we present a hybrid approach using the AODE classifier with the SELECT valid Only to Parallel Server (SELECT-APSL ASA) algorithm to segregate and secure location-sensitive data of smart cities. The presented ASA model—consisting of both AODE and SELECT-APSL—is a means to segregate data by applying a hybrid technique of obfuscation, in which 50% raw data and 50% hospital data are securely obscured while being transmitted. Performance analysis points towards remarkable enhancements in energy efficiency and system throughput. Before the cryptographic system was applied, the overall packet delivery rate was as high as 71.66%, surpassing the current methods. After applying the cryptosystem, there was a 47.34% decrease in energy usage over state-of-the-art approaches. Furthermore, average energy expenditure decreased by 2.47% before obfuscation and 9.90% after it. The makespan time, being a crucial performance measure, was reduced by 33.71% before data obfuscation and by 1.3% after obfuscation.
  • Student Engagement Practices as a Driver of Skill Enhancement in Community-Centric Higher Education
    Anshul Sharma, Shailja Dixit, Surabhi Singh, Ashish Chandra, Rashmi Tripathi, Rashika Durgvanshi, Manish Mishra
    International Review of Management and Marketing, 2025
    This study investigates the impact of student engagement practices on skill enhancement in community-centric higher education, with motivation examined as a mediating variable. Engagement is conceptualized as a multidimensional construct, including behavioural, emotional, cognitive, and experiential components, along with faculty support and peer collaboration. Data were collected from 500 students across five cities in Uttar Pradesh, India, using a structured questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the proposed relationships. The analysis revealed that all engagement dimensions significantly influence motivation, which in turn strongly predicts skill enhancement in students. Experiential learning and peer collaboration showed the highest direct and indirect effects on engagement. Motivation emerged as a key mediator, linking engagement to outcomes such as improved communication, leadership, and critical thinking skills. The model demonstrated strong reliability, validity, and predictive accuracy. The study offers practical implications for curriculum development, faculty training, and institutional policy by emphasizing the value of active, collaborative, and community-based learning practices. Limitations include the regional sample and cross-sectional design, indicating the need for future research using longitudinal and mixed-method approaches across broader contexts.
  • Expressing Your Personality Through Apparels: Role of Fashion Involvement and Innovativeness in Purchase Intention
    Jasmandeep Kaur, Priyanka Malik, Surabhi Singh
    Fiib Business Review, 2024
    The study was conducted to identify the role of consumer personality in influencing fashion consumption; the study tries to establish a relationship between personality, fashion involvement, innovativeness, and purchase intention. Data were collected from 512 generation Z participants (born after 1997) and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling to demonstrate multivariate relationships using descriptive and causal research. The study concludes that a consumer’s personality positively correlates with fashion involvement. The present study strengthens the finding that apparel expresses an individual’s personality by stating that consumers’ personalities are positively associated with fashion innovativeness. Once personality leads to a positive association with fashion involvement and innovation, the latter two traits show a positive association with purchase intention. Among the innovativeness and involvement, the latter has a more influential role in shaping the customer’s purchase intention. The examination of the effect of consumer personality on fashion consumption-related variables, involvement, and innovativeness has contributed to a better understanding of the mechanism that underlies the operation of an individual purchasing a product.
