Indian start-ups are going through a hard time, with many of them laying off employees for reasons like conserving cash for day-to-day operations. Since the start of this year, almost 8,000 employees have been laid off from various start-ups, indicating trouble brewing in the near future. Some estimates say that this number will likely increase as the year progresses. Other instances like Paytm’s Paytm mall losing nearly all of its valuation are painful examples of things going south in the Indian start-up scenario. However, to understand the current situation at hand, it is imperative that we start from the beginning with a healthy dose of context.
[Project] Customer experience and buying behaviour in e-commerce sitesBiswadeep Ghosh Hazra
The growing usage of internet in India provides an extremely lucrative market for many retailers and businesses. If e-retailers get to know the factors that broadly affect online behaviour, and the corresponding relationships between the type of online buyers and these factors, then they can further fine tune their marketing strategies to convert potential customers into permanent customers, while keeping the existing online ones.
This project on consumer behaviour is a part of a study, that broadly focuses on the factors which Indian online buyers keep in mind while they are shopping online. The research conducted found that Customer Service, Customer Review/Recommendations and Discount/Offers are the three dominant factors that influence online consumer perception. Consumer behaviour is an applied discipline because some decisions are significantly affected by their expected actions. The two perspectives that demand application of its knowledge are societal and micro perspectives. Internet is changing the very method consumers shop, buy goods and services, and has rapidly become a global phenomenon.
Today all companies must use the Internet with the goal of cutting marketing costs, and at the same time, received quantitative information; thereby reducing the price of the services and products, the companies offer. High competition compels companies to continuously look for cost cutting measures. Companies also use internet to communicate, convey and disseminate information, to take feedback, conduct satisfaction surveys with customers and most importantly, to sell the product.

Introduction
For any business to be successful, having a proper supply chain management is a must. It involves the suppliers, retailers, the distribution channels and the manufactures. Leveraging the optimization of the supply chain can lead to improvements in the domains of demand planning, Inventory control, decision making, order fulfillment and customer service.
Dairy business accounts for one of the major revenue in Odisha’s economy. Unlike other domain of business, the main raw material, milk is a highly perishable product and thus time plays an effective and significant role. The supply chain includes breeding of animal and cattle, centers for collection of milk, processing centers to condense the milk and bring it to consumable form and making other products and finally the distribution systems to reach out the customers via wholesalers and retailers. We have identified, three major anchors, a) the daily processors who aim to maximize the profit, b) the milk collection centers who aim to sell the most and c) the distributers who want quality and availability as per the demand.
This project aims at optimizing the transportation cost involved in the entire chain i.e daily process of the collection from the farms, from processing centers to distributing centers.
Problem Description
As a part of our project we had to design an optimal model for the dairy supply chain. The company that we have chosen is Milky Moo which has a processing center in GOP, Puri. It has successfully met the needs of the customers in Odisha as well as in regions of Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The company has established itself as a leading producer of dairy products in Odisha. The company is highly concerned withpthe time required for transporting the raw materials as the raw product is a perishable item and this can directly affect the production system’s.
Modelling Approach
The number of hours of work for the company’s processing plant is 12 hours starting from 5:30 am to 5:30 pm.
Assumptions:
1. The demand is equal to supply
2. There is no production after official working hours.
3. Each plant is capable of producing 100% output and is equally productive.
4. Each Processing plant can handle 50% of the load
5. The vehicles used for shipment run 15km for 1 liters of diesel
6. Diesel Price in Bhubaneswar : Rs 68/Ltr
7. Capacity of vehicles : 3500 litres of milk
8. Cost of shipment for 1 km = Rs. 3.90
The 3 aspects of supply chain are: collection centers, processing units and distribution centers. The initial process involves collection of milk from local farmers in the milk collection centers located at various places.

[Project] Retail Management Report Brands Versus Private Labels- Fighting to WinBiswadeep Ghosh Hazra
INTRODUCTION-
Private label brands are on the rise right now everywhere in the world and command a higher unit share than the strongest of national brands in 77 out of 250 product supermarket categories which is an astonishing 31% and even in 100 of those categories, Private Label comes a close second or third position. However, manufacturers do not realize that sales of private labels sales vary with the economic conditions of the country they are operating in. Their share goes up when the economy is suffering and tanks in stronger growth periods.
The proof of this claim is evident from the following fact- During the last 20 years, Private Label share of markets has averaged out at a decent 14% of the U.S dollar supermarket sales. This share was 17% during 1981-82 at the peak of the recession and in the year 1994, this share dropped to 14.8% despite receiving media adulation. Private labels have managed to pressurize strong national and international brands but brands must also assess the threats that are possible from private labels and whether they will decline or mature in the future.
European Markets have seen quite success with Private Label Brands and compared to USA supermarkets which has only 15% of their sales come from Private Label Brands, European supermarkets has 54% of their sales from PLBs. This is because in Europe, the television markets are highly regulated and hence advertising is limited. Also, grocery chains dominate the entire European landscape and hence retailers hold more power in relation to manufacturers than in the United States of America.

Ontology for the semantic enhancement, database definition and management and...Edward Blurock
This paper describes the use of ontologies interacting with a noSQL database (Google Cloud Firestore) in multiple capacities in the database system CHEMCONNECT. The motivation is to implement the ‘Data on the Web Best Practices” as recommended by the W3C (https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-dwbp-20170131/, 2017) in an application within the physical chemistry and instrumentation. First, the ontology provides semantic enhancement to each database object through meta-data, standard vocabularies and data object relationships. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the database objects and the ontology objects. Another use of the ontology is to provide a data-driven model for the creation, provenance and versioning of database objects. One aspect of this is the use of domain specific templates to guide the construction of the database objects. The definition of each database object is in a hierarchy of catalog objects, record objects and components (using the DCAT ontology model). Within each of these object definitions is a link describing how a create a set of automatically generated RDF objects within the CHEMCONNECT database. The RDFs facilitate searching the database. To facilitate versioning, data source tracking and data quality control, operations on the database are organized as transactions. In CHEMCONNECT a transaction has a one to one correspondence with the underlying JAVA operation in the implementation. Within the transaction definition, the set of prerequisites and the output of the operation is defined.

Use of Ontologies in Chemical Kinetic Database CHEMCONNECTEdward Blurock
This paper describes the use of ontologies interacting with a noSQL database (Google Cloud Firestore) in multiple capacities in the database system CHEMCONNECT. The motivation is to implement the ‘Data on the Web Best Practices” as recommended by the W3C (https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-dwbp-20170131/, 2017) in an application within the physical chemistry and instrumentation. First, the ontology provides semantic enhancement to each database object through meta-data, standard vocabularies and data object relationships. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the database objects and the ontology objects. Another use of the ontology is to provide a data-driven model for the creation, provenance and versioning of database objects. One aspect of this is the use of domain specific templates to guide the construction of the database objects. The definition of each database object is in a hierarchy of catalog objects, record objects and components (using the DCAT ontology model). Within each of these object definitions is a link describing how a create a set of automatically generated RDF objects within the CHEMCONNECT database. The RDFs facilitate searching the database. To facilitate versioning, data source tracking and data quality control, operations on the database are organized as transactions. In CHEMCONNECT a transaction has a one to one correspondence with the underlying JAVA operation in the implementation. Within the transaction definition, the set of prerequisites and the output of the operation is defined. The use of transactions helps organize and give semantic enhancement to the set of individual operations within the implementation. The work in this paper is on-going and as the first use-case is concentrating experimental and theoretical information in the chemical domain. The implementation is written in JAVA and is using Google Cloud firestore as the database.

在线观看最新电影《我才不要做你朋友呢》在线观看。
关于世事无常,关于命运的波折,关于生存的不易与养育的艰难,这部电影深刻触动了我的心弦。两位平时习惯隐藏敏感情绪的角色,常以幽默和淡定掩盖内心的波澜,但在关键时刻,他们都袒露了真实的情感。
这是一次生死相隔的穿越对话,因为在女儿的世界中,父亲早已因癌症去世。女儿独自承受生活的种种压力,而在这一刻,她只想靠在父亲的肩膀上痛哭一场,宣泄所有的委屈与不安。
另外,还有男生陈君何在最后时刻的“情感反转”。这位一开始被认为是“渣男”的父亲,最终被发现是为了心爱的女孩勇担责任的“勇士”。陈君何在影片中始终用调笑的态度,说着最深情的话,让人心生感动。
一切都在戏谑中完成,却丝毫不减深情。电影通过这种方式,让观众在欢笑中感受到了人生的无常与情感的深厚。
没想到前期让我笑出眼泪的片子,后半段却让我哭红了眼睛。吵吵闹闹的家庭,真是这世间最温馨的存在;曾经最想逃离的母子关系,如今却是我最怀念、最想去拥抱的亲密关系。只有走近对方,才能看清彼此的心,了解这一切的前因后果,然后勇敢去爱,迈向彼此都幸福的未来。
特别建议大家带着自己的好朋友、伴侣、父母来观影,因为这部片子提醒我们,世间纷纷扰扰,有疼爱我们的人,我们才能做那个无忧无虑的小孩。感谢那些始终支持我们、疼爱我们、始终站在我们身边的人啊!
电影用幽默的方式讲述了关于生活的艰辛与温情,关于家庭的牵绊与支持。这部片子不仅让我们笑中带泪,更让我们明白,珍惜眼前人,才是最重要的。无论生活多么无常,命运多么波折,只要有爱,就能找到幸福的方向。
所以,带上你最亲近的人,一起走进影院,体验这场笑泪交织的情感之旅吧!相信你们会在电影中找到属于自己的感动与共鸣。
Due to the rapid development of society, habits, thinking patterns, and moral concepts are constantly evolving, causing intergenerational conflicts and communication to become increasingly relevant and anxiety-inducing topics among young people.
Previously, Jia Ling's "Hi, Mom" resonated widely, achieving a staggering box office success of 5.4 billion RMB. The latest film "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You" (hereinafter referred to as "Making Friends") similarly explores parent-child conflicts. After a miraculous time travel, the daughter, along with her mother during her teenage years, experiences life's ups and downs and emotional twists. Initially distant, three generations come together to communicate, observe, and support, leading to mutual understanding and a clearer self-identity.
“你要真為她好,你就別總想着去改變她。你覺得怎樣才是好的不算數,要她覺得好才是好。”真是至理名言!青銅和進步起初都在用自己的方式“為對方好”,但了解事情全貌後,才恍然大悟:原來對方一直在,原來只要擁有彼此就夠了啊!傾聽和陪伴才是我們努力去做的,一家人整整齊齊坐在一起吃餃子就是最幸福的事兒~不要對身邊的人有太多苛責,不要讓誤會阻隔彼此想要靠近的心,人生已然那麼多波折,何不像片中“破銅爛鐵”樂隊那樣恣肆而活?
來鐵原這一趟,進步認識了太多小夥伴,東北大碴子味的青春滋味是那麼別緻,從來沒有過朋友的進步收穫了太多友情和感動,而我也得以重溫我的高中生活。雖然片中冰天雪地,但是人心是熱騰騰的,有平常嚴厲但關鍵時刻總為我們考量的老師,有為我們打掩護的熱心同學,還有最最恐怖的家長會!片中不僅服化道用心,細節也做得很到位,尤其是學生心理的揣摩。哪怕是學習頂好的人,也會對請家長心有餘悸,拼命想要逃避,而這也牽連出一系列啼笑皆非的事情。青春就是這樣吧,猝不及防,讓人心慌,卻無所畏懼,笨拙地予以回應,不怕撞南牆。勇敢無畏,是我們青春共同的底色。這一趟奇遇,讓我們和青春撞個滿懷,無悔這份純粹的心境~
別忘了,當你在外面闖的時候,家裡永遠有人為你托底!那就是我們的父母,刀子嘴豆腐心的母親,敢怒不敢言的父親,他倆的模式可能是我們很多家庭的真實寫照。他們平凡,但卻為我們傾其所有。不圖大富大貴,只求我們平平安安。我特別喜歡片中旋轉沙發和穿越時空的父女對話情節。有這樣包容心和同理心的父母,不就是我們為人子女最寶貴的財富嗎?教育和成長的命題很沉重,但片中用輕鬆的節奏來進行深入探討,可謂巧妙而有趣~
The heartfelt father-daughter relationship portrayed by Jia Bing and Chen Haoyu as adult Li Jinyu is particularly tear-jerking. The scene where they sit together on a sofa across time and space is deeply moving. 《我才不想做你朋友呢》在线观看。香蕉影视免费播放全网最高清电影,在线观看最新电影在线看
The mother-daughter storyline is equally heartwarming. Li Jinyu, true to her name, always hopes her mother will study hard, excel in the college entrance examination, and lead a different life, providing them both a better life. In reality, her mother sacrifices a promising future for the unborn child. Both acts stem from love, with the daughter willing to forego existence to give her mother a better choice, while the mother accepts and gives her all for her unexpected child. This reciprocal love is profoundly moving.

“Artificial Intelligence: Changing Business Amidst COVID”
(AI Adoption before and during COVID-19)
Setting the context
AI adoption is happening at a breakneck speed all around the world, and this article aims to find if COVID-19
hassped up or slowed down the adoption amongst various industries. In order for comparing the adoption during
COVID-19, it is important to check the adoption undertaken till date. That will strive to give a base reference
point for further study of the same. The chart below shows in percentage the adaptation of AI in different
industries and under different functions.
Chart 1 – Adoption of AI in different industries under different functions (in %) (2019)
As seen from the chart above, Service Operations function dominates in the overall category while
Product/Service development comes in at a close second. The particular function where AI is adopted also
depends heavily upon the type of business as evident from the fact that Automotive sector uses most of its AI
adoption in Manufacturing and Telecom uses it in Service Operations. Businesses remain lukewarm towards
the adoption of AI citing reasons such as spending increased amounts of resources like money and time.
AI adoption entails a number of key factors and questions, and some of them are enumerated below-
Whether it is relevant for the business in the long term
How much of a positive impact does AI adoption create?
Does the cost justify the benefits that can be reaped into the future?
What are the processes that are improved, and how does that impact the current business?
Therefore,even if it is evident for businesses to adopt AI, they do not do so keeping in mind the short- and long-
term prospects and other factors like Return on Investment (RoI).
Diving deeper
AIis an overarching term that encompassesmany technologies suchasMachine Learning and NaturalLanguage
Processing, so it makes sense to look at the adoption rates keeping in mind the industry and the technology
involved. The graph below shows the breakdown of AI Adoption in 2019, and again the type of technology

used in a particular industry depends heavily upon the characteristics of the industry itself. High Tech is leading
the other industries in usage and adoption of Machine Learning while Robotic Process Automation is rightly
mostly used in Automotive Industry. Businesses in developing economies are increasingly utilizing the benefits
of AI with each passing year. Reports by McKinsey show that high performing companies have a couple of key
strategies that are similar to each other-
AI strategy is heavily aligned towards the business goals.
Investing in AI training and talent pool
Collaboration that cuts across functional teams
Data Practices that follow a best practices pattern

AI Adoption amidst COVID-19
COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of AI across industries with the Bain COVID-19 IT Buyer Survey
stating that three out of four companies are planning to accelerate automation initiatives due to COVID-19. It
is very likely that COVID has transformed permanently, the way businesses are conducted, and now many are
considering AI adoption to stay ahead of the curve. According to a RELX survey dated October 2020, AI usage
has shot up massively to 81%, which is a huge 33 percentage points increment over 2018 in the USA. The
following image shows a three-year trend in the usage and adoption of AI across industries.
With COVID-19 dictating our lives and with the increased dependence on social distancing and work from
home cultures, it is imperative that businesses embrace the AI advantage. AI ensures that there is minimal
redundancy, and the need for human labour for trivial, repetitive tasks is abolished. In addition, technologies
such as the 5G will support and help AI adoption. Healthcare is one such area that is rapidly making use of AI
amidst a massive paradigm shift. Some of the data points pertaining to AI adoption in COVID-19 are-
o 68% increased the spending on AI during the pandemic
o 77% of those surveyed agreed to the fact that AI technologies helped slow the spread of the virus
o 63% of businesses agreed that AI helped them achieve a strategic advantage amidst the pandemic
However, there are concerns about the ethical usage of AI as many fear that in the wrong hands, AI can have
devasting consequences. Decades of dystopian science fiction movies have done nothing to alleviate those fears
and instead helped reinforce them. Fortunately, most AI usage in businesses are harmless and only strive to
improve processes,optimize them and help reduce costs over the long run. AI adoption is one of the key factors
of success against uncertainties, and it is only fair that businesses start realizing that, for their own survival.
