  Abstract: Emerging Economies Cases Journal, Ahead of Print.
  The insurance business model is fundamentally different from that of the banking business model. The Government of India (GoI) is the sole shareholder, both for Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) and Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI); therefore, it made a business case for LIC’s acquisition of IDBI bank as a proposition for bailing out IDBI bank and then foray into bank assurance, giving LIC a unique footprint in the banking landscape. This case study highlights the rationale of this acquisition by evaluating synergies, economies of size and scale of opportunities, forward-backward integration of their products and services. This case study illustrates that forced corporate marriages, where the ownership is entirely with the GoI, both before and after the acquisition has its advantages, but on the flip side, has many disadvantages.

  Abstract: Emerging Economies Cases Journal, Ahead of Print.
  The case is based on a not-for-profit organization, Tara Mobile Crèches, situated in Pune. The organization offers services to the children of construction workers by running its centres at construction sites. Their mission is to ensure free childhood for every child at the construction sites. In spite of constraining challenges, Tara Mobile Crèches is running 17 centres in Pune and doing some outstanding work for the otherwise marginalized community of construction workers. The key enabler to this success is the staff of Tara Mobile Crèches who work at the grass root levels. The organization has undertaken numerous initiatives to inculcate engagement in their employees, in the absence of which the mission of Tara Mobile Crèches would remain unrealized. The case dwells on the ways in which engagement is inculcated among its employees despite the many challenges they face.

  Abstract: Emerging Economies Cases Journal, Ahead of Print.
  This case is based on the company InGreens, which is an agri-mobile platform, one which works in connecting the rural B2C and G2F service space (those related to agriculture—soil health card, farm insurance, online licensing for seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, etc.). It was incubated from Science and Technology Entrepreneurs’ Park (STEP), IIT Kharagpur and supported by the Government of West Bengal. The key motive was helping the farmers and the agricultural process as a whole, using technology for better and efficient connectivity between the government people and the farmers, on a real-time basis. They were facing dilemma on the ways to expand their functioning, through their third-party recruits (Gram Doots) and the case brings forth these challenges. InGreens was planning to utilize the reach of the Gram Doots for venturing into rural m-commerce, in the agricultural as well as the consumer products sectors. The case was written keeping in mind the students of HRM and entrepreneurship.

  The micro-credit programme was introduced with multi-dimensional objectives and therefore was always under direct purview of various government agencies. Microfinance in Odisha works under umbrella of Mission Shakti and TRIPTI (a world bank initiated project). Balasore district is selected on the basis of MFPI index taking into consideration the saving, credit linkage and credit-deposit ratio indicators. The analysis had shown positive impact of programme on various economic, social and decision making dimensions.

  Abstract: Emerging Economies Cases Journal, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 95-102, December 2021.
  The present case study is based on the nation’s biggest-ever banking failure of India’s fastest-growing private bank, YES Bank. The YES Bank fiasco showcases the prevalent flaws of uprising NPAs and mounting bad debts in the financial sector. Post Asset Quality Review (AQR) conducted by RBI elucidate that the NPA of YES Bank is seven times higher than the actual reported amount in their audit book. The sudden trauma reflected the events unfolding in the bank as the share market plummets drastically and the losses enlarged exponentially. To stymie further deterioration, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stepped in and took over YES Bank management. The economy is already set to decelerate to an 11-year low following demonetization and the outbreak threatens to delay a revival in an emerging economy like India. The subject that this case will fit in is Capital Structure, Corporate Governance and Ethics and Auditing.

  Abstract: Emerging Economies Cases Journal, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 103-109, December 2021.
  The Mothers Delivery Kit discusses an innovative healthcare package sold in the poor West African region to aid with the delivery of expectant mothers. The package combines various necessary items used for proper and hygienic delivery of the rural and remote mothers with the help of a local midwife or medical practitioner. Antenatal care in the region is poor due to lack of infrastructure and government funding in healthcare. The Mothers Delivery Kit addresses that issue by providing a cheap and hygienic alternative to conventional delivery methods. The kit has decreased newborn death in the region noticeably. The founders have worked closely with local midwives to train them and enable them to use the Mothers Delivery Kit properly to improve delivery conditions. Regardless of the setbacks caused by local traditional beliefs and culture, the kit has proven to be an active effort to improve delivery conditions.

  Abstract: Emerging Economies Cases Journal, Ahead of Print.
  The case deals with ethical issues in marketing in a larger context encountered while managing channels. Freedom AV Life Insurance, established in 2002, was a laggard in terms of revenue generation among private life insurers in the country. A new CEO, Ramesh Ramachandran, was hired to improve revenues, which drastically improved post his joining and upon on him hiring a new sales head. However, customer grievances multiplied, and Rajesh Bhardwaj, the customer services head, was questioned by the CEO and was asked to submit an action plan to stem the rising complaints. Bhardwaj felt this was the result of mis-selling by agents and the salesforce of the company. Bhardwaj proposed a solution by emailing the sales head. Just as he had finished writing the mail, he was surprised to find a new mail from the CEO asking him to prepare a presentation before the company’s board of directors in two days. At the end of the case, Bhardwaj becomes engulfed with self-doubt and anxiety on what to present before the board members. The case deals with ethical issues in marketing financial products like life insurance and looks at solutions to the practice of mis-selling financial services. Students would attempt to find answers to the question of whether they can achieve sales goals without resorting to unethical practices.
