South african welfare state and the demographic dividend's window of opportunityFabio Torreggiani
In this paper, I analysed the main characteristics of the South African Welfare State in terms of inputs and outputs of the key policies usually identified by the literature to be useful to exploit a demographic dividend. In particular, I focused on the state of the labour market, the social assistance policies and the education and healthcare systems. To do this I studied some quantitative indicators of both inputs and outputs and I reported the qualitative analysis of some other articles of these individuals sectors. The conclusion is that, despite some important progress made by the democratic governments, there are many improvements needed to create a consistent and inclusive growth.

This assignment was part of the hiring process at Tracxn. The problem statement was designing an effective customer ticketing system. The detailed problem statement is shared below-
You are the Head of the Customer Support department for a B2B company providing research services. Your team acts as the primary point of contact for all customer queries and is responsible for resolving them. Each customer query is treated as a ticket and the system to resolve these tickets is being referred to as the ticketing system. You are required to design this ticketing system.
Problem Statement-
As of 2022, Teams has over 270 million monthly active users. Launched in 2017, with 2 million monthly active users, they have been able to grow their users more than 10x times in only 5 years. You’ve recently joined as VP of Product with Microsoft Teams. You realized your forte has been to cater mainly to businesses and educational institutions up until now, with the entire application built around making collaboration better in workspaces and schools and colleges.
However, with offices and schools/colleges opening up, you fear Teams might become obsolete and start losing the growth trajectory they have been on up until now. You want to break your synonymity with only offices and educational institutions and want to bring changes in the current app to acquire more users who are looking to communicate with others.
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.
A. About the company and the Sustainability Initiatives
Royal Dutch Shell PLC, which is more commonly known as Shell, founded in the year 1907, is a group of global energy and petrochemical companies employing more than 80,000 people in more than 70 countries. The organization was formed as a result of the merger of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited. The company is currently headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, and Incorporated in England and Wales. Forbes Global 2000, in the year 2019, ranked Shell as the 9th largest company in the world, the largest company outside the PRC and the USA, as well as the largest energy company in the world. Shell also topped the ranking of Forbes Global 500 in the year 2013. Shell is a public limited company with its shares listed on Euronext Amsterdam, London Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange, and Philippine Stock Exchange. Its primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange and is a part of the FTSE 100 Index.
Shell has been engaged in vertical integration and is now present in every area of the O&G industry. Shell is actively engaged in the exploration, production, logistics, distribution, power generation, petrochemicals, and commerce. Shell has also ventured into renewable sources of energy such as hydrogen, wind, bio-fuel, and energy-kite.
Shell has divided its operations into different businesses:
Upstream: This organisation is engaged in the exploration and extraction of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Marketing and transporting of Oil and Gas are also done by this division.
Integrated Gas: This organisation is engaged in the management of LNG activities and the production of GTL fuels. It also includes the exploration for and the extraction of natural gas, and the operation and maintenance of the infrastructure that is necessary to make gas available in the market.
New Energies: This organisation is future-focused. It is engaged in the exploration of new opportunities and investment in commercially viable areas. Its main focus is on alternative sources of energy for transport such as hydrogen, bio-fuel, and electricity. Wind and solar energy are also areas of focus.
Downstream: This organisation is engaged in the creation of an integrated value chain that refines and trades crude oil and others into different products, which are then sold all around the globe. The products include petrol, diesel, aviation fuel, sulphur, heating oil, marine fuel, bio-fuel, lubricants, and bitumen. In addition to these, petrochemicals and oil sand activities are also managed by this organisation.
Projects and Technology: This organisation is engaged in managing the projects undertaken by the company to ensure its timely completion and innovation for new technologies. It provides technical assistance to other organisations as well.
The project is based on the following-
1) Internal rate of return (IRR) is the rate of return that will equate the present value of a multi-year cash flow with the cost of investing in a project
The IRR is the discount rate that renders the NPV of the project equal to zero
2) Profitability index also called as Benefit- Cost ratio or desirability factor is relationship between present value of cash inflow and the present value of cash outflow.
A) Introduction:
This project covers in-depth two restaurants (one small and one mid-sized) and their way of working on a daily basis. Both of these restaurants were covered extensively throughout for around a month where we got to know their method of day to day working and also the strategies that they follow to minimize cost and increase profitability.
B) What we did:
As per our project guidelines, we chose two restaurants, one mid-level and another a small restaurant, serving a modest number of customers per day. For both the restaurants, we spoke to the owners and formed an estimated balance sheet, business model, income statement, cost classification, cost collection, sources of revenue and inventory management. We also covered the various ways these restaurants deliver food, either through Food Aggregators or through takeouts and in-house customers. We then found out the Break-Even Point (in sales) for these restaurants. Finally, the report concludes with some recommendations for both of these restaurants in order to improve visibility and increase sales.
Developments which led to the current banking scenario:
Phase of having high inflation and interest rates
Major deregulation policies implemented in 1980s-boosted cross-border investment.
High levels of regulations via Basel III
China’s successful policy of state-directed economy - challenged by the middle-class’s needs
Power Division between the East and the West.
Governments’ decision to raise more money from taxes- direct implementation on banks
This led to more and more need for innovation.
Warehouse management is an essential piece of the supply chain process and creates a clearly defined breakpoint between the supply and demand aspects of any business.
Warehousing consists of two prime elements of cost and administration through: -
1. Minimize total operational cost
2. Giving the ideal degree of service
A warehouse can work in different forms from a single territory as a base receiving, storing and preparing for delivery to the complete commercial center to a mind-boggling organization central, regional and local facilities.
Chosen Organization is Wal-Mart since it is the largest retail corporation and has extraordinary supply chain management.
The report discusses Udyog Enterprises, a distributor of construction chemicals for Sika company. It stores the chemicals by Sika in its inventories and then supplies them to companies as per demand. The customers are largely divided into two main segments, industrial buyers and retail buyers. 95% of the revenue comes from retail buyers.
The methods through which the company generates leads are-
Sika provides them information about the projects happening
Through site visits by a team of engineer from Sika and sales force from Udyog
Through some information in newspaper ads
Through word-of-mouth, if the company hears about any projects going on then we approach the company.
This presentation describes the Hospitality Industry in India and how to solve the possible quality, inventory management and other operational issues that are rampant there and what service level innovations can solve these issues. It also takes into account COVID-19.

[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.

From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Report on how to contain COVID-19 (in the initial months) (Biswadeep Ghosh Hazra)
1. 1
Problem Statement-
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic presents the most significant challenge post-World War II, the
world has been facing. Across countries, disruptions have become the norm, rather than an exception, in all
aspects of life. It is estimated that over 2.6 billion people (nearly a third of the global population) across
100 countries have been facing government-enforced lockdowns, implemented to arrest the spread of the
highly contagious virus.
Challenges, especially for India, in the form of supply-chain disruptions, suspension of economic activity,
mass-migration of seasonal labour, availability of essential goods/services, and contact-tracing and testing
in a highly populated country spread across vast demographics, all the while ensuring the norms of social
distancing and limited health resources, are perhaps any government's worst nightmare. As WHO has
repeatedly stated, the Coronavirus is here to stay.
Until a cure or a potential vaccine is developed, it will continue to have an impact on how we function as a
society, or how a government runs its economy. This pandemic is thus, not just a one-time thing, but it is
our entire future, and all that we could do currently is to prevent its spread and deploy strategies across
sectors, which minimize the impact of this deadly virus.
Assuming that you are the chief economic advisor to the government of India, answer the following
questions:
Answer-
As of 6:45 pm, June 8, 2020; the situation of Coronavirus throughout the world was as follows-
2. 2
In India, the scene is as follows-
Inferences
From the above, it can be stated that India accounts for only 3.6% of the world's cases and 1.77% of the
world's deaths. While the world's recovery rate is almost 49%, India's is 48% suggesting that with India's
population and crumbling health system, it is not doing too badly.
1. Suggest strategies to revive the economy post lockdown
While people are comparing the effect of COVID-19 with the recession of 2008-09, there are major
differences between the two. For one, people did not have any restrictions in terms of going out to work in
order to recover from the losses they faced. The entire global economy is facing a tremendous hit to the face
because of COVID-19, and it is unlikely that countries can recover soon as experts have been saying that
we will have to live with the virus (18-24 months) unless a suitable vaccine is developed. Albeit India and
China seem to be the handful of countries in which despite huge losses, the Real GDP growth seems to be
in the positive while it is negative for all major economies all around the world.
The global impact of the pandemic is more than $5 Tn, which is more than Japan's entire GDP. Hence it is
prudent in accepting the fact that there have been widespread losses and then applying the brain to figure
out a best-case scenario way out of this.

1. The first and foremost thing to do would be to ramp up testing and treating the infected. Given the
country's crumbling public healthcare system, the onus falls upon the private healthcare providers to
test and treat the infected. On May19th, India first crossed the landmark of more than 100k tests
per day. This, has to be ramped up. 100k, in contrast to its population, is less than 0.00074%. Medical
staff, public servants and the army would be required to contribute to their fullest in the operation of
the country.

Testing would reveal the current hotspots of the country, and more action would be directed towards these
hotspots in order to prevent the spreading of the virus. The following map shows the COVID hotspots in
the country-

2. Secondly, the major aspect that is still lacking among the general populace is awareness, as can be
seen from viral videos that show people not giving much thought to the disease and not following
social distancing rules. This is worse because it is these misinformed population that takes upon
their shoulders the spreading of the virus.
3. Agriculture, which accounts for 14% of our GDP, can effectively bounce back on track provided
that storage, warehousing, and logistics align together along with agriculture along with the fact
that monsoon will help the overall momentum keep its pace.
4. The service industry will have its moment to shine, but it is unlikely that the time is now. Unless
new rules are developed and work from home practices set in within employees, the service
industry will have to drag itself to the finish line
5. The MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), which accounts for 30% of the country's
GDP, is one of the key areas that can outperform even with the pandemic on its shoulders. The
government's decision to inject money into the system will help the country cushion the fall, but
strategic measures need to be taken in order to ensure that the country is well on its way to
recovery

6. Some of the sectors that desperately need revival (sectors which are the worst hit) are- tourism,
the aviation, the automobile, and real estate industries, and last but not least, the hospitality
industry. These sectors employ huge numbers of people who have irrevocably lost their jobs. The
government needs to support these sectors immediately so that the combined negative of these
sectors does not cause strain on the economy.
2. What type of exit strategies can governments apply?
With the situation worsening every single day, it is important to follow a balanced approach to ending the
lockdown. This is because the country is caught between two immovable objects- the increasing cases every
day and the issue of economic ruin the country will continue to go into if the lockdown does not end.
Source
India needs to ensure that the poor, as well as the non-salaried (lower middle class), survive as they are
the segment that are devoid on income to base their sustenance off. With daily cases rising and crossing 10k
for a couple of days now, it is all the more essential for the above classes to get food properly.

June 1 was Unlock 1, India's formal freedom from the lockdown, however many institutions of education,
places of worship, and companies still remain locked till at least June 30. It goes without saying that
tomorrow or the day after, the lockdown needs to end. The entire country cannot go on with the lockdown
indefinitely as it would further devastate the already bleak economy. People cannot live with no jobs
forever, and it will be a matter of time when we will be living alongside the virus. The supply of
electronics and other associated goods have started to flow freely along with the essentials. The supply
chain needs to be freed and given special attention to as the entire country depends on the same.

7. 7
Transportation of crude oil, pharmaceutical units, detergent companies are working in semi-capacity.
Everyone needs to realize that lockdown is never the solution to the problem. The only way out is to get the
vaccine, which is months or maybe years from development. Moreover, any analyst would say that the
country has already reaped the benefits of the lockdown, and furthering the same would be pointless now.
There is a need to do a cost-benefit analysis for everyone as it is not as incentivizing for all age groups to
go outside, particularly, the children and the elderly. With the help of traffic cops and the normal police the
government needs to control the rogue elements who loiter about aimlessly without having a real reason to
come outside. In hotspots, the lockdown should be limited to the building or societies/gated communities
where the victim belongs to. Public spaces like malls, movie theatres, places of worship, parks should not
be opened till the near future. Manufacturing, Agriculture and MSMEs should be opened while following
social distancing and 50% capacity working on alternate days norms.

3. When will it be safe to move out of our houses?
The question is not of when but how. For many, it is a mandatory activity for going to a job, or even for the
simple act of going shopping for essentials. Hence, it is not a question of when. With adequate protection
like gloves, masks, and face shields and sanitizers, going out should not pose a significant risk. However,
there are certain points to be kept in mind-
Not going close to persons not wearing protective equipments
Going outside only when absolutely necessary
Keeping a small bottle of hand sanitizer handy always
Properly disinfecting with soap after returning from outside
Wearing full sleeve clothes and trousers

4. How will economic activity restart amidst a shortage of labour and norms of social-distancing?
Crises highlight the pitfalls present in our society today. It is now common news the effect COVID-19 had
on India's migrant labour. They were left to fend for themselves. Many died in accidents and thousands had
to literally fight with sweltering heat and hunger as they walked towards their home turf, not to mention the
virus itself causing them immense harm. It is therefore no wonder that India is going to face an acute labour
shortage in the coming months. In a year, it is possible to lose as many as 40 million jobs to labour shortages.
There are two aspects to the question- how can the economic activity restart and shortage of labour and
social distancing norms. Let us tackle the question one by one.
The shortage of labour needs to be dealt with in a formal way. This situation has given the government to
formalize the entire labour sector of the country as a whole. One of the ways it can be done is to present the
labourers with digital cards that they can use to formally get work in the sector of their choice. This will
ensure organization of the entire industry and monitoring their payments and wage nets if and when required.
The current system put into place is a crippling one at best.
According to the Periodic Labour Survey, the following sectors and their jobs (in millions) are mentioned
below-
Sector Number of jobs
Manufacturing 56.4
Construction 54.3
Retail Trade 37.3
Hotels and Restaurants 8.7
Agriculture 2.05
Firstly, it is essential that the government understands the impetus of the problem. Such a problem on such
a scale needs to be dealt with extremely carefully. The government has to loosen its grip on the fiscal
restraint so that people can breathe a sigh of relief
Secondly, there has to be a moratorium on loans so that people and especially businesses get a chance to
pool their resources and back on a sufficient level. In addition, as discussed above, the MSME sector has a
good chance of fighting back the effects of the economic downturn, and to encourage that, the government
has to provide working capital at low rates to encourage money circulation in the economy.
Thirdly, this scenario can be a boon for the infrastructure sector as it gives a chance for rapid job generation.
All projects that are planned or shelved for the future need to be implemented now in order to ensure that
labourers who left for their home return to their place of work with the jobs already waiting for them.
Fourth, the tax burden has to be reduced for the salaried individuals who, with the burden of EMIs and
interests, are already pressurized to the extreme. Small businesses will immensely benefit, as well.
Fostering the gig economy (freelancing economy) is also one of the ways the government can ensure that
lots of work is generated and people can work from the comfort of their own homes. Lastly, it is high time
9. 9
that the entire labour sector is simplified in terms of labour laws and rules and regulations so that it actually
becomes easier to apply and look for jobs.
Finally, all workers need to be monitored periodically, and they must be educated about the virus and the
use of sanitizers and masks to their benefit. While social distancing has to be maintained, in many jobs, it
is not possible. In such cases, protective wears like face shields have to be made compulsory.
5. Can we minimize the impact that this pandemic will have on every aspect of our life?
Most of the steps have already been discussed in answer to "When will it be safe to move outside our houses."
There are certain elements that I believe we can easily control and certain aspects that we cannot about this
global pandemic ravaging country after country. We are largely in control of our personal safety, and by
following the below four tenets we can ensure that the probability of germs infecting us be close to zero.
Source
We need to make peace with the fact that until an elective vaccine is developed, the world will never be the
same as we knew. Thus, the key is to control the elements that are in our favour and to keep aside from those
that aren't in our control.
