The Impact of Corporate Profitability and Economic Growth on Resolution of Distressed Assets in India

Shashank Sharma — 2023-07-19

Purpose: To study the impact of Indian corporate profitability and overall economic growth on the resolution of stressed assets in India, taking the effect of pandemic into consideration. The rationale behind the analysis has been excessive leverage, particularly in the non - financial Indian corporates with substantial share of domestic and external credit, and consequent rise in stressed assets even prior to the pandemic.

Methodology/Research Design: Multivariate OLS linear regression has been performed using annual recovery rate as dependent variable, whereas, annual profit after tax margin of Indian corporates and annual GDP growth at current prices as independent variables, respectively. Furthermore, a dummy variable has been introduced to the regression equation to study the effect of pandemic on recovery of stressed assets. Data has been sourced from the RBI, EPW and CMIE databases and HP filter has been used for smoothening of time series.

Findings: Findings suggest that, overall economic growth and corporate profitability may have a positive significant impact on the recovery/resolution of stressed assets and may contribute to achieve the desired financial stability. Whereas, pandemic may have a negative impact on the resolution process, however, the continued commitment towards the improvement of resolution may yield positive results.

Originality/Value: Attention towards transparency, accountability, credit monitoring, asset quality, structural evolution in the recovery laws, and improving the resolution framework may ensure achievement of the timely recovery of the stressed assets.

Rajbala Simon — 2023-07-19

Purpose: Stress can include fear, anxiety, inability to relax, increased pulse rate, difficulty in breathing, difficulty in getting proper sleep or insomnia, changes in diet, difficulty in concentrating or focussing, deterioration of existing health conditions (both physical and mental). Stress during examinations is a major concern for both students as well as their parents. Certain measures and precautions can be taken to detect this stress using modern day technologies and prevent students from taking mental pressure.

Design/Methodology/Approach: With the help of created as well as available datasets a model and research paper has been created using supervised machine learning algorithms eg: random forest algorithm to detect stress levels in humans using facial recognition.

Findings: In this proposed model, the user whose photo is being captured is signifying as happy. It can be termed that the stress level is comparatively low and, when the emotion is neutral the user may or may not be stressed and may signify neutral facial expressions. In case of sad and angry facial gestures it can be considered that the user is stressed. Although the accuracy of this model needs to be tested, this model cannot be concluded accurately as it may require a greater number of iterations and improvements.

Originality/Value: This research paper will help to understand the overall concept of face detection with the help of machine learning algorithms at early stages which can further help in early diagnosis.
