In this context, governments are totally focusing on digital world and for this Business Intelligence plays the most important role. While business intelligence is a bright and prosperous tool for innovative entrepreneurs, data analysts, or business leaders looking to evolve their efforts, with innovation comes a range of challenges – issues that you will have to tackle to progress and squeeze the most value from your data. Like many other business decisions, these strategies will vary from one company to another based on the business’s size, industry, and culture. The trend in business intelligence and analytics is toward self-serve strategies that incorporate business users into the landscape of analytics with easy-to-use, mobile tools that they can leverage to make better decisions. A BI tool should be flexible for personalization and it should be something your users will want to adopt. A cost-effective business intelligence solution should be for every user.2-5 Ekata Gupta, Shipra Jain, Nilesh K.

COVID is no exception. It threw up both challenges and opportunities to the business world and served as a strict teacher who leaves no stone unturned in implementing values and ethics across personal and organizational domains. India has always been a hotbed of activities, traditionally, in colonial times and late when the Digital wave happens to sweep one and all, irrespective of demographics and businesses. Undoubtedly, the Silicon Valley in the US hitherto was the understood leader in terms of technology utilization and innovating through various platforms to widen the already massive reach of the world over integrating the marketing and other functional strategies to rule the business world. However, then the ‘developing’ nations of Asia have started posing a stiff challenge to them – especially countries like China, India, Korea, and a few of South East Asia. West has always portrayed East with zone lag in terms of ‘materialistic’ development that portrays modern economy definitions; however, COVID made us understand the inside-out story on various fronts, including the digital landscape! The pandemic has forced economies the world over to redefine their priorities both economically and socially. Undoubtedly, we are a vast nation trying to move faster over the past decade in terms of developing and augmenting our ‘basics’ and penetration of digital technology has made things more accessible in terms of reach and speed. The behavioral dynamics associated with the mantra of ‘self-reliance’ bring in steep changes and newer paradigms of defining businesses and their successes. The entrepreneurial moods of the prominent young population are on the upswing, disruptions and innovations being the critical drivers catalyzed by what is famous as a ‘digital’ resource. This paper tries to highlight through a firsthand gaze-through available and emerging digital dynamics influencing ways of doing businesses and redefining customer satisfaction and how the digital divide, as we call it in India owing to infrastructure and usage variations, would redefine the market segments and serve the customers, mostly young, who are native to the uncertain world of experimentations.

Due to the demand of cement, new companies from outside also started functioning in our country, but these industries face several problems. Companies are closed or merged due to a lack of financial sustainability and capital structure problems. The study is based on the effect of capital structure on shareholder’s value. In this study as a researcher, it has been tried to study and find out the relation of ROA, ROE, leverage ratios, and correlation with EPS. The sample size is five companies from the BSE list (Bombay Stock Exchange), and the last five years of data are studied. As the cement industry is capital-centric, this study will help the industry understand the facts that fulfill the financial objectives.
