The Indian Mutual Fund Industry is segmented and grounded on asset classes (Debt-Oriented Schemes, Equity-Oriented Schemes, Money Market Funds, ETFs and FoFs) and sources of funds (banks, retail investors, Indian institutional investors, FIIs, insurance companies, and other sources). The Average Assets Under Management (AAUM) of the Indian Mutual Fund Industry for the month of February 2022 lay at 39,87,990 crore. The AUM of the Indian MF Industry has raised from 7.20 trillion as on September 30, 2012 to 38.42 trillion as on September 30, 2022 further than 5 fold expansion in a span of 10 years. The MF Industry's AUM has raised from 20.40 trillion as of September 30, 2017 to 38.42 trillion as of September 30, 2022, around a 2-fold expansion in a span of 5 years. The entire number of accounts (or folios, as per mutual fund parlance) as of September 30, 2022, was at 13.81 crore (138.1 million), while the number of folios under equity, hybrid, and solution-oriented schemes, wherein the utmost investment is from the retail segment, stood at around 11.03 crore (110.3 million). The Indian mutual fund industry over the years noted a dramatic improvement in terms of volume as well as quality of the product and service offerings. In this paper, equity, debt, and hybrid mutual fund performance evaluation is measured through statistical ratios like standard deviation, beta, Sharpe's ratio, Jensen's alpha, and Treynor's ratio. All the ratios were calculated based on the daily returns over the last 3 years. The data was taken from the websites, and the yearly return was calculated on the basis of NAV. The results were obtained from a sample of 8 equity funds, 8 debt funds, and 8 hybrid funds. It was found that an investor must take the risk ratios into consideration before investing.

Through innovation and technology, traditional financial services have undergone a significant transition. Today, technology seems to be a key component in the growth of digital economy. With the rising market and technical improvements, Indian banking sectors and financial service providers have purposefully adopted technology over the years to enhance client reach, service delivery, and operational work efficiency. However, the adoption rate of financial technology is still lagging below its potential. Therefore, there are gaps in the provision of financial services. Banks and financial institutions have learned that technology has the power to entitle current business conceptions rather than creating new business proposals themselves. However, the use of digital technologies to create new business opportunities and target underserved market niches is changing how financial technology companies are seen. FinTech is the term used to describe the proper application of financial technology to the delivery of new financial services and products to untapped market segments in a way that is both moral and effective. From a business model perspective, the financial technology sector is made up of technology companies that either work with well-established banks and financial institutions to offer essential customer and market data or strive to do away with intermediaries altogether. FinTech is attracting and increasing interest from investors, regulators, payment banks, NBFCs, traditional banks, payment service providers, broking and wealth management firms, insurance firms, and pure-play FinTech operators, to name a few of the sector's major players in India's financial services. The goal of this study is to discuss the various facets of fintech in India.
This paper takes a holistic look into Patagonia's marketing strategy that reflects its out-of-the ordinary viewpoint on the industry it operates in. With a short look into the pressing issues of the fashion industry, a focus on Patagonia's own weaknesses as well as its attempt to fix the same reveals a very successful and mostly authentic sustainability marketing strategy that has helped the business become increasingly successful in its own bottom line while raising awareness for the need to change. The methodology that is employed in this case study is qualitative in nature and uses primarily secondary sources. The case research suggests that the firm has significantly impacted the social outdoor fashion sector, and it has maintained a consistent and expanded focus on environmental and social responsibility goals and objectives. Patagonia has not discarded its values and priorities for the sake of making profit, even during the disruptive impact that the outbreak of the global coronavirus pandemic has had on the supply chain, demand, and profits.
