Construing the Relationship Between Entrepreneurial Adversity and Mental Well-being of Small Business Owners During COVID-19 Outbreak: The Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Resilience Shruti Singh, Anindita Chakraborty Fiib Business Review, 2025 The purpose of this study was to look at small business owners’ entrepreneurial resilience and mental well-being during adversity. This paper tries to gauge the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on an entrepreneur’s mental wellness and how being resilient in their approach to handling uncertainties mediates and positively envisages their mental wellness. The quantitative approach was utilized to collect data and achieve the specified goal. The information was gathered from 159 small business owners in Varanasi, India. The partial least squares method was used to analyze the collected data. Future research should look for more accurate ways to measure resilience as well as personal traits that could be used to further analyze the person–entrepreneurial context fit. In order to improve the generalizability of the study’s findings, researchers can also consider perceived adversity and resilience as mediating factors, in addition to the actual adversity and resilience assessed in this study.
The social ledger: qualitatively decoding interaction-driven investment decisions among Indian investors and fund managers Shruti Singh, Anindita Chakraborty Qualitative Research in Financial Markets, 2025 Purpose This study aims to investigate the antecedents of social interaction among Indian retail investors and fund managers to understand how these factors influence investment decisions. By identifying and examining these antecedents, the study aims to shed light on the social dynamics that shape investment behavior in the Indian financial market. Design/methodology/approach The researchers have mainly adopted an interpretive strategy for the present study. Qualitative data elicited through semistructured interviews with six retail investors and two fund managers were subjected to qualitative thematic analysis. Findings Our research found several factors that make Indian retail investors and fund managers connect and make financial decisions. Peers can improve a person’s investing performance through social facilitation, and discussing investment suggestions and lessons learned can affect a group’s investment behavior. Social norms also influenced investors’ financial decisions, demonstrating compliance. Investor closeness increased information sharing. Finally, the fear of missing out (FOMO), a psychological phenomenon where people fear missing out on rewarding experiences, encouraged social engagement as investors sought appealing prospects. Research limitations/implications The researchers interviewed eight carefully selected interviewees across the divide between retail investors and fund managers. Adopting other grouping criteria, conducting a focus group discussion with more respondents or adopting a mixed-methods approach may increase our understanding of the investment decision behaviors of Indian retail investors and fund managers. Practical implications The findings have far-reaching consequences, from deepening our knowledge of investors’ motivations and actions to directing individual savers, informing the development of financial literacy initiatives, influencing fund management practices and inspiring additional research in this study area. Originality/value This research, including retail investors and fund managers, significantly contributes to the literature on investment decisions and behavioral finance, particularly in the context of Indian investors and managers. This study’s unique perspective and comprehensive approach make it a valuable addition to the field, sparking interest and further exploration among academics, practitioners and investors alike.
Tweets to Trades: Exploring the Influence of Social Media Interactions on Stock Market Participation: A Critical Review Shruti Singh, Anindita Chakraborty Psychology and Intricacies in Social Media Interactions A Critical Perspective, 2025 The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of social media interaction in increasing stock market participation (SMP). With the support of relevant literature and research, this study seeks to encompass both the antecedent and predecessors of social media interaction and SMP and explores the relationship between the two if measured concurrently. According to the existing literature, combining social media data in addition to numerical data enhances input quality and results in better forecasts, and this trait has resulted in a significant increase in the degree of engagement among stock market investors. Further, the study also tries to pursue literature highlighting the interconnection between various socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing SMP, to identify important factors which will help stimulate participation. Furthermore, social media interaction is being used by investors, companies, institutions, and society as a whole to gather, exchange, and utilize knowledge. Augmented connection and participation in the stock market will assist the country’s society and economy to renew and flourish.

EDUCATORS' LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND INTENTION TO USE ONLINE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS’ PLATFORMS: A PERCEPTUAL STUDY Shruti Singha, Anindita Chakraborty Serbian Journal of Management, 2024 This study examines the adoption and use of Online Learning Management Systems (OLMS) in central government universities in India, emphasizing the impact of instructors' previous online learning experiences. To accomplish this, we employed the Technology Acceptance Model as the theoretical foundation, expanding its scope to encompass external factors and perceived variables related to O-LMS adoption. We investigate OLMS adoption patterns, platform preferences, and the impact of ownership status on technological integration using survey data obtained from faculty members at the top ten central government universities. Through a rigorous survey conducted among 326 faculty respondents from esteemed institutions and universities, we delved into their experiences, challenges, and perceived benefits associated with O-LMS utilization. Our data show that Moodle is the most widely used OLMS platform, with 85% of surveyed universities using this open-source system. Furthermore, we identify the important impact that educators' prior online learning experiences have in molding their opinions of OLMS, emphasizing the need for extensive training and continuous support programs. Furthermore, our findings highlight the need for further research to investigate the efficacy of various OLMS platforms, longitudinal studies to track the long-term effects of adoption, and qualitative investigations into educators' perspectives and experiences. By focusing on these research directions, stakeholders can improve technology integration in educational settings, resulting in more effective and inclusive learning environments.
Comparing the Best-Fit and Integrating Generative Deep Learning with Time Series Models for Metal Price Forecasting: A Predictive Analysis Palash Bairagi, Shrey Arora, Anindita Chakraborty 2024 1st International Conference for Women in Computing Incowoco 2024 Proceedings, 2024 Forecasting metal prices in volatile financial markets is a challenging task due to the non-linear and stochastic nature of price movements. This research integrates deep learning techniques with time series models to predict metal prices, focusing on the MCX Index. A novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework, coupled with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a discriminator and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) as a generator, is proposed. Historical NSE metal spot price data, specifically gold and silver, were used for model training and evaluation. The empirical results demonstrated that the proposed GAN-based architecture outperformed other deep learning models, including LSTM and Bi-LSTM, in terms of forecasting accuracy. The study provides valuable insights into the application of deep generative models for financial forecasting, addressing key challenges associated with modeling non-stationary and noisy financial data.
Synthesis of the effect of investor sentiment on stock returns: a systematic review Ajit Yadav, Anindita Chakraborty Global Business and Economics Review, 2023 The effect of investor sentiment on stock returns is a topic of long-standing interest amongst behavioural economists. This paper systematically reviews the literature on the effect of investor sentiment on stock returns. We have systematically reviewed 107 selected studies and analysed them based on the year, journal of publication, country of sample data, study type, techniques employed, and citations. The literature analysis reveals the dearth of literature on the sentiment-return relationship in developing economies. It also highlights that there exists no set consensus on the sentiment-return relationship along with a lack of clear-cut distinction between the effect of components (rational or irrational) of investor sentiment on the stock performance. It also questions whether the investors can hedge against future risk and whether distinct return patterns are based upon the lead-lag variation or is merely the effect of the optimistic exuberance of the investors.
Investor Sentiment and Stock Market Returns: Evidence from the Indian Market Ajit . Yadav, Anindita . Chakraborty Purushartha, 2022 Investor sentiment refers to investors' confidence in the market based on their subjective beliefs. Investor sentiment has become a topic of substantial interest among academicians as investor sentiment induces uninformed demand shocks, which can potentially drive away stock prices from their fundamental value. This study expands the literature on the effect of investor sentiment on stock market returns by constructing an Investor sentiment index for the Indian market. We use Nifty-Fifty returns and the sample period ranges from April 2012 to March 2022. The Principal Component Technique is employed to construct an investor sentiment index using seven market and firm implicit proxies: advances to decline ratio, buy-sell imbalance ratio, equity issues to total issues, volatility premium, share turnover, price-earnings ratio, and turnover volatility ratio. The regression analysis shows that the investor sentiment index has the predictive power to forecast Nifty-Fifty returns.
