The review utilizes a blended strategies research approach, including both subjective besides quantitative investigation. The subjective investigation remembers a survey of the pertinent writing for the effect of gold, unrefined petroleum, Bitcoin, SPX, trade rates, loan costs, besides worldwide occasions on digital money costs, besides quantitative examination includes the utilization of factual devices like relapse investigation besides connection examination. The product sees 12 has been utilized to direct the accompanying examination. The review's discoveries recommend that gold, unrefined petroleum, Bitcoin, besides SPX have a positive connection with the cost of Ethereum, while loan fees have a negative relationship. Worldwide occasions like the Coronavirus pandemic, the 2019 crypto bubble burst, besides the Russia-Ukraine war mixed affect Ethereum costs. The review infers that macroeconomic elements besides worldwide occasions essentially influence the cost of Ethereum. The discoveries of this study can be helpful for financial backers, dealers, besides policymaker’s keen on grasping the elements that impact the worth of Ethereum. 2024-06-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.dtu.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/repository/22629 Title: WEALTH MANAGEMENT PRACTICES BY KOTAK WEALTH MANAGEMENT Authors: KUMAR, PULKIT Abstract: This project report explores the current practices and challenges in wealth management, with a specific focus on Kotak Wealth Management.

With the rapid proliferation of digital infrastructure, widespread internet access, mobile phone usage, and fintech adoption, the banking sector is undergoing a transformative shift. India has become one of the leading adopters of digital payments globally, thanks to platforms like UPI (Unified Payments Interface), which recorded over 13.5 billion transactions in March 2024 alone, as per the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Digital banking no longer serves as an optional convenience but has transitioned into a fundamental service expectation among banking customers. E-banking services today encompass not only traditional offerings like ATMs, Internet and Mobile banking, but also UPI, digital wallets, contactless payments, and AI-driven customer service tools. The shift towards a cashless economy, supported by government programs such as Digital India and RBI's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) pilot, reflects this paradigm shift. This research utilizes descriptive methodology and primary data collected via structured online questionnaires from a diverse sample of 54 respondents primarily from Delhi NCR, covering a wide demographic spectrum. This report presents a detailed statistical analysis of survey data on digital banking adoption in India, aligned with the following research objectives: 1. Identify key drivers of digital banking adoption and growth. 2. Analyze factors influencing e-banking upliftment (e.g., service quality, demographics). 3. Evaluate current e-banking services (ATM, mobile banking, fund transfers). 4. Assess the impact of emerging payment systems (e.g., UPI Lite) on engagement. vi Methodology: • Regression Analysis: Predictors of overall satisfaction and adoption. • ANOVA: Differences in satisfaction across income/age groups. • Chi-Square Tests: Relationships between demographics and usage patterns. • Z-Tests: Adoption rates between user segments. Findings from the study contribute to understanding the broader implications of E- banking on India’s financial ecosystem and indicate high satisfaction and usability levels among digitally engaged banking customers. 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.dtu.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/repository/22614 Title: BUSINESS ANALYTICS FOR OPTIMIZING DRONE DELIVERY BASED ON DEMAND PATTERNS Authors: MISHRA, SUDHANSHU Abstract: The transformation of India's logistics ecosystem through drone-powered delivery represents a paradigm shift in addressing traditional transportation constraints and market accessibility challenges. This research investigates the application of advanced business analytics to optimize drone delivery networks by analyzing demand patterns across India's diverse geographical and socio-economic landscape. India's drone delivery sector has witnessed unprecedented growth, particularly in healthcare and parcel logistics, with companies developing distinct operational strategies. While some focus on direct hub-to-hub connectivity models, others construct comprehensive infrastructure solutions featuring automated drone hubs functioning as aerial distribution centers, complemented by ground-based last-mile networks. This hybrid approach demonstrates particular promise for cost reduction in quick commerce operations. The study employs regression modeling and machine learning techniques to analyze delivery patterns across India's urban hierarchy, examining parcel volumes, customer segmentation, and demographic trends. The methodology integrates geospatial analysis, demand forecasting, clustering algorithms, and optimization models to understand demand variability across tiered markets, incorporating urban population changes, income classifications, and purchasing behaviors. Key findings reveal significant potential for addressing urban congestion while bridging connectivity gaps between metropolitan centers and developing Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. The infrastructure-enabled model achieves 80-85% cost reduction compared to traditional delivery, with operational expenses declining from ₹45-60 per km per kg to ₹3-8 per km per kg through analytics-driven optimization. The research quantifies societal benefits including reduced traffic congestion, improved rural accessibility, and environmental sustainability through carbon footprint reduction. Market analysis indicates substantial commercial viability, with the Indian drone delivery market projected to grow from ₹265 crore in 2024 to ₹860 crore by 2030, representing 21.7% CAGR, driven by healthcare delivery (22.8% CAGR) and e-commerce applications (21.4% CAGR). This study provides actionable frameworks for optimizing drone delivery through predictive analytics and data-driven decision-making, supporting evidence-based strategic planning for scaling infrastructure while maintaining cost-effectiveness across India's varied landscape, ultimately contributing to logistics modernization and digital transformation objectives. 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z
