About the Conference
Progress of a country depends on the vibrant state of its industry and the entrepreneurial spirit prevailing among the dynamic youth of the country. In this knowledge era, data has become the new oil. The advent of new technologies and brute computing power brings hitherto unavailable tools at our disposal. This augments our ability to deal with huge amount of data to do better research. Business research is defined as 'the systematic and objective process of collecting, recording, analysing and interpreting data for solving managerial problems'. These managerial problems can be linked to any business functions such as Human Resources, Finance, Marketing, Production & Operations, Research and Development etc. Business research is important in identifying opportunities and threats.
Often, a company's success or failure depends on the actions undertaken as a result of conducting research. Extensive marketing research will throw more light on the dynamic consumer needs and wants thus paving way for new start-up ideas. This Conference provides a basic platform for the confluence of Research Scholars, Faculty Members and Industry Professionals.
The objective of the Conference is to inculcate research culture among the business professionals, to share the contemporary and fundamental research ideas and tools among the business researchers and academicians, and to catalyse the ongoing research activities by providing fillip through eminent industrialists and academicians.

Aby completed his PGDM and doctorate in management from XLRI Jamshedpur and holds a degree in mechanical engineering from CET, Trivandrum. He teaches consumer behaviour-related topics along with Brand, Retail, and Services management. Previously, he served as Director of the Asian School of Business in Trivandrum and taught as an adjunct faculty member in the Business Administration Department at Dubai University College. Aby left the industry to pursue doctoral research at XLRI, after which he became an academic. He looks for the 'meaning of possessions' and studies the meaning-making process. Thus, his area of interest encompasses semiotics to social anthropology, particularly in the realm of consumer behaviour within marketing. The cultural changes brought about by social class shifts, technological advancements, and media transformations alter consumers' tastes and the meanings associated with possessions; thus, making it imperative to understand the underlying process. He had been a resource person for many Qualitative Research FDPs and sessions conducted across India. He entered academia with 23 years of professional experience, starting as an engineer on the shop floor, progressing to Area Manager, then Regional Contracts Manager, and ultimately heading country operations with various international firms. This gave him a broad view of real-life business scenarios, helpful in understanding ground realities. Throughout his industry career, he worked in the B2B Services sector of the Petrochemical Industry.
