Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serve as the backbone of any developing country contributing significantly to generate employment and exports. Among these MSMEs, manufacturing enterprises particularly in engineering sector plays an important role. This study focuses on financial performance analysis to bridge the gap between theoretical financial standards and their application in real-world scenarios which provide information for policymakers, investors and government. For the present paper financial data from 23 manufacturing engineering MSMEs over a period of ten years was used for 18 different financial ratios to understand their financial health. By systematically analyzing financial ratios the study identifies ideal financial ratio range and compares the same with the industry standards. For this purpose, KMO Bartlet’s test was used to find the financial ratios which best represents the financial health. Further the researcher used paired sample t-test to analyze the calculated ideal ratios with the industry standard which explained that they are 88% correlated and showed a significant positive correlation. Also, most of the engineering enterprises follow the industry standards with some outliers.

Understanding the relationship between volume and stock returns is a central question in financial research. Volume is often considered as an essential indicator of market sentiment, liquidity, and the flow of information, and its impact on asset prices has been widely studied. However, the effect of volume on returns might be subject to shifts during different market conditions, especially during periods of financial distress such as the 2008 global financial crisis. We explore whether high trading volume affects returns differently before and after the crisis, with a focus on the S&P 500 index over the past 34 years. The results suggest a negative relationship between high volume and returns, with a pronounced effect only observed after the 2008 financial crisis. More interestingly, the effect has diminished after Covid-19 pandemic, reinforcing the complex nature of market interactions in general and the role of volume on trading returns in particular.

This study explores the growth potential and role of digital repositories in the Indian insurance industry, focusing on how e-Insurance Accounts (eIAs) simplify policy management and enhance customer engagement. By providing centralized access to policy information, these repositories facilitate faster claims processing, reduce paperwork, and improve overall convenience for policyholders.

These repositories, operating under the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), play a crucial role in facilitating the digital management of insurance policies. By offering secure, centralized platforms, they streamline policy administration, enhance customer convenience, and support the broader digitalization efforts within the Indian insurance sector. A qualitative research methodology was employed, utilizing data from official annual reports and service documents from insurance repositories. The study also reviewed trends in policy digitalization and repository growth, focusing on user experiences and system efficiencies. Despite the benefits, challenges such as limited awareness, low digital literacy, and concerns over data security hinder wider adoption of e-Insurance Accounts. The findings highlight the transformative impact of digital repositories in the Indian insurance sector and the need for strategies to promote smoother transitions to digital platforms, ensuring enhanced customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
