    Mridusmita Duara, Vinay Khandelwal, C.T. Sunil Kumar, Varun Chotia, Prashant Sharma
    International Review of Management and Marketing, 2025
    Given their significant role, this study aims to comprehensively understand the linkages between business ethics, governance, and Sustainability research. The study is focused on knowing the knowledge structure that connects these concepts, identifying the critical areas of focus, and tracking their evolution over time. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a data set covering 2003 to 2024. Two worldwide repute databases, namely, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), were used to search scientific publications (Sharma et al. 2023; Sharma et al. 2024). The selection process adhered to the inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. The Structural Topic Modeling (STM) approach was employed to group related data segments, revealing underlying patterns and significant content. Specific latent topics such as Experiential learning, corporate governance structure and behavior, Sustainability through energy policy, and Environmental protection acts were identified, which depicted the underlying knowledge areas in this field of study. Future research in business ethics and corporate Sustainability must pay attention to the emerging contextual issues in business contexts and make the future study of business ethics and corporate sustainability move beyond traditional totems and taboos in social ventures, family businesses, start-ups, and SMEs.

    Ajit Kumar Singh, Sachin Akoji Meshram, Vinay Khandelwal, Pinaz Tiwari, Pankaj Singh
    Industrial and Manufacturing Designs Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis, 2024
    Technical education is important from the insights of the development of the society and has witnessed a surge in popularity among Indian students after the completion of their intermediate exams. This surge has led a proliferation among the institutions toward offering technical education across the country, considering many insights and perceptions from students, parents, and industries. It is highlighted that, despite having a collective intake capacity of 1,753,436 students across 3,391 institutions, only 846,497 students have enrolled in the year 2023. To address this issue, this chapter aims to bridge the gap between technical education and industry demands by conducting a comprehensive analysis, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, to be implemented considering an industry-centric perspective under technical education. The chapter presents the industrial requirements from technical institutes and the same are collected and analysed in the present chapter by interviewing HR professionals. Here, a questionnaire survey is conducted to rank these requirements. It is highlighted that the qualitative and quantitative means are utilized that assisted in collecting industry requirements. The results revealed that problem-solving skills are the most important requirement for recruiters, whereas a sports background is the least important. The chapter demonstrated that recruiters place great importance on problem-solving skills when hiring technical graduates. Accordingly, it is highlighted to the technical institutions to focus on developing their students’ problem-solving abilities considering industrial perspective. The general key finding of the chapter highlighted the need to technical institutions to offer programs and activities that allow students to apply their technical knowledge in practical and relevant ways to solve real-world problems. Institutions should also focus on providing opportunities to students to participate in internships and industry collaborations, which will give them practical experience and an understanding of industrial needs. The present chapter will be useful for researchers, academics, and practitioners in designing technical education curricula that align with industrial needs. This chapter highlights the crucial theme of implementing an industry-based perspective in technical education and emphasizing the need of both qualitative and quantitative analysis. By incorporating qualitative measures like curriculum relevance and quantitative metrics like job placement rates, the gap between academia and industry can be filled, which ensures the responsive of technical education to real-world needs. Additionally, the chapter presented many qualitative and quantitative parameters that can be used to develop general framework by the technical education apart from industry–institute linkages.
  • EXAMINING THE NEXUS OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: EVIDENCE FROM SAARC COUNTRIES
    Vinay Khandelwal, Varun Chotia, Prashant Sharma, Swati Soni, Sushil Kalyani
    Problems and Perspectives in Management, 2024
    This study investigates the interconnected roles of infrastructure development, financial growth, and economic growth in SAARC nations. Using principal component analysis, the paper develops a composite infrastructure development index, which integrates factors such as access to electricity, telecommunications, air transport, and agricultural land use. This index serves as a comprehensive measure to assess and compare infrastructural progress across the region. Econometric analyses, including Pedroni’s and Kao’s cointegration tests, reveal long-term associations between the studied variables. The results demonstrate a bidirectional relationship between trade openness and GDP growth in the short term, as well as unidirectional influences from inflation to financial development and from infrastructure development to inflation. However, findings vary across SAARC countries, reflecting their diverse economic structures and development stages. Notably, Afghanistan is excluded due to data limitations, emphasizing the region-specific focus of the results. The study highlights the critical role of targeted infrastructure investment and financial sector reforms in fostering sustainable economic growth. Policymakers are encouraged to consider these findings when designing synchronized public and private sector initiatives to bridge development gaps. By offering detailed insights into region-specific dynamics, this study enriches understanding of the complex interplay between infrastructure, finance, and economic growth in emerging economies.
  • How to cook a meme: exploring content strategies in brand and user-generated memes on Instagram
    Ashima Agrawal, Daneshwar Sharma, Manoj Kumar Mishra, Mohd Asif Shah, Mumtaz Alam, Vinay Khandelwal
    Cogent Business and Management, 2024
    In the realm of marketing, capturing the attention of Millennials and Generation Z individuals, known for their short attention spans and ad-skipping tendencies, presents a formidable challenge for marketers. Memes have emerged as a short form of content infused with humour, allowing brands to captivate their audience. Regardless of their popularity and effectiveness, memes are a nuanced and intricate marketing tool. Understanding the specific types of meme content that generate engagement is critical. Memes are not only expressions but also a platform for voicing opinions. This study compares brand-generated and user-generated memes from food delivery apps on Instagram (n = 813), using the uses and gratifications theory as an analytical framework. The findings reveal notable differences between these two categories of memes, offering valuable insights for brand managers seeking to craft compelling and impactful meme-based campaigns.
  • Examining the Impact of Agency Issues on Corporate Performance: A Bibliometric Analysis
    Vinay Khandelwal, Prasoon Tripathi, Varun Chotia, Mohit Srivastava, Prashant Sharma, Sushil Kalyani
    Journal of Risk and Financial Management, 2023
    An agency problem is defined as a conflict of interest arising due to a misalignment of interests among the managers and other stakeholders of the company. This article aims to review the articles addressing the agency problem and their impact on business performance. This article reviews the contributions of prominent theorists on agency problems and agency costs. Using bibliometric attributes of 740 articles from the Scopus database, this study highlights the publishing trend and outlets, along with leading contributors and collaborators in terms of authors, institutions, and countries. This study identifies the clusters through the bibliographic coupling technique and a trend topics analysis. Most researchers have focused on corporate governance and expressed the agency problem as one of the impact areas. This study is unique as no study to date specifically focuses solely on agency theory or the agency problem through the lens of bibliometric analysis. Future research directions on agency problems and their solutions conclude this study.
  • ESG Disclosure and Firm Performance: An Asset-Pricing Approach
    Vinay Khandelwal, Prashant Sharma, Varun Chotia
    Risks, 2023
    Disclosing information on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) parameters is voluntary for most firms across the world. Companies disclose their performance on ESG datapoints due to two main reasons—(i) to gain the trust of stakeholders through increased transparency and (ii) to comply with regulations imposed by governments and investment houses. Using a dataset of companies disclosing ESG parameters during 2014–2021 from the S&P BSE 500 index, this study investigates the role of ESG disclosure on firm performance. We divide the constituent securities into three factors—size, value, and disclosure to study the premiums generated by firms on each factor using single-, double-, and triple-sorting approaches. We utilize time series regressions along with GRS tests to empirically test the presence of factor premiums. We find the significant role of factors size, value, disclosure, and a dummy variable for the COVID-19 pandemic period to explain the portfolio returns. The study found a negative ESG disclosure premium stating that firms with high levels of disclosure earn less returns compared with the firms with less disclosures. The findings of this study contrast with multiple studies in the past that have found a positive disclosure premium. Our findings help reconcile the mixed evidence on the disclosure–returns relationship.
  • Impact investing in action: A framework for sustainability
    Sunil Chenichery Thazhath Kumar, Varun Chotia, Swati Soni, Vinay Khandelwal
    International Journal of Management and Sustainability, 2023
    The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.” Despite being meticulous about achieving the SDGs, India’s overall SDG score is 61.9 out of 100. While multiple models and frameworks have been developed, a new concept that has gained currency is impact investing. Content analysis of academic journal articles was employed to analyze the terminology, definition, and similarities and differences in the use of the term impact investing. Impact investing helps to benefit society and the environment without the need to sacrifice financial returns. It attempts to address the global challenges of access to energy, potable water, basic hygiene, nutrition, health, and education by exploring innovative commercial solutions. The degree of sustainability achieved through impact investing depends upon the efficiency of the multidisciplinary team formed to conduct the due diligence to achieve the social and financial goals by paying equal attention to risk, value addition, impact, and investor expectations. This study builds a case for India, suggesting the execution strategy of impact investing as an answer to India’s sustainability conundrum.
