Indian stock market is going through a constant rise in the Algorithmic trading, however, it still lags behind the United States, where a significant 90% of all trades are driven by algorithms. In addition, there is a considerable need to discover the main factors shaping Indian Individual investors' Intent to use Algorithmic Trading. This research is focusing on addressing the gap by exploring the elements that impacts the Intent to use ATPs (Algorithmic trading platforms) among Indian Individual investors. Primary empirical data is gathered by using structured questionnaires and studied with the help of AMOS software version 21 by doing structural equation modeling (SEM). There are 392 observations for the final sample size. This study incorporates two additional variables, awareness and trust, that are integral to the extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This research extends the existing literature, which primarily focuses on strategy-building related research for Algorithmic Trading. This research is going to deliver a theoretical direction for upcoming studies and will provide insights to the Indian government as well as regulators for policymaking purposes, and will act as a helping hand for investors to assist them in making informed decisions.

2. INDUSTRY 4.0 AND SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES

Authors: Dr. SUNIL GIRI

Abstract

The advent of Industry 4.0 signifies a revolutionary shift in supply chain management, marked by the integration of advanced technologies. These innovations collectively enhance operational efficiency, visibility, and decision[1]making capabilities. Traditional supply chain processes often encounter challenges including inefficiencies, delays, and a lack of real-time data, impeding responsiveness and adaptability. Industry 4.0 addresses these issues through automated data collection, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring, leading to streamlined workflows and improved performance metrics. This paper explores the impact of Industry 4.0 on supply chain processes, emphasizing the comparative benefits over traditional methods. Key performance metrics such as lead times, inventory turnover, and operational costs are analyzed to demonstrate the efficiency gains and cost reductions achieved through technological integration. Additionally, the paper delves into the data flow architecture within an Industry 4.0-enabled supply chain, highlighting the interconnectedness and data-driven nature of modern operations. Risk mitigation strategies enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies are also examined, focusing on predictive maintenance, supply chain visibility tools, and dynamic inventory management systems. These strategies play a crucial role in reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing the resilience of supply chains amidst disruptions. The findings underscore the potential of Industry 4.0 to transform supply chain management, offering robust solutions for mitigating challenges and optimizing performance through the effective use of models and data.
