    Critical Analysis of Health Insurance Portabililty in India
    (Acme Intellects Research Center, 2013-04) Kumar, Chitralekha; Phadnis, Gargi; Mulay, Rashmi
    The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) introduced health insurance portability with a view that the facility will serve its customers better, bringing about a revolutionary change in the health insurance sector through better product plans and improved competition. However, not many transactions have been seen. What could be the reason for the same? Should the sector and the regulator be blamed for the poor numbers benefiting from the scheme or should the implementation be made simpler and standardized? Present research is conducted by using both primary as well as secondary data. Also, an analysis of the mobile number portability was done. It was found that lack of awareness was a major reason for the less number of insurance switchovers. These bottlenecks need to be addressed so that the actual aim of serving the customer needs can be met through the implementation of this scheme.

    Opportunities and Challenges with Cloud Computing
    (Macfast, 2015-04) Kelkar, Sandeep
    Cloud computing is a model for providing computing service such as storage, servers, services and applications, without physically acquiring them via the internet. Access to such service could be free or pay as per use. So that the organiztions does not have to spent time and cost in managing them. Many business institutions are moving towards the cloud computing due to the efficiency of services and pay-per-use pattern. This pay-per-use pattern based on the resources consumption e.g. processing power, transactions carried out, bandwidth consumed, data transferred, or storage space occupied etc. In cloud computing the client data is maintained in the data centre of a cloud provider like TATA, Netmagic, Google, Amazon and Microsoft etc. Since the data is stored on Internet Cloud the user will have limited or no control over the data, which may lead to various security issues. Since the data custody is at data centre which could lead to threats such as data leakage, insecure interface, sharing of resources, data availability and inside attacks etc. There are various challenges for adopting cloud computing such as well managed service level agreement (SLA), Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA). This research paper outlines cloud computing industry models and issues associated with it. This research paper analyse the challenges which are present in cloud computing and best practices by service providers.

    A Study on the Scope of Cloud Computing in Management Education
    (All India Management Association (AIMA), 2016-05) Salunkhe, Uday; Kelkar, Sandeep
    The cloud computing is a rapidly developing technology, which has brought significant changes and opportunities to various sector in India. It is a pervasive computing paradigm that has revolutionized how Information Technology infrastructure and services can be delivered. There is a growing interest around the utilisation of cloud computing in the education sector. Present study is an attempt to provide an overview of the cloud computing model and its applications for collaboration between academia and student.In this paper we proposed cloud computing to e-learning from the following aspects: its work mode, services, benefits and issues. This paper is an analytical study on the role of cloud computing in education with reference to management institutions. Primary study was carried out with major stakeholders of technical education infrastructures which are implemented for academic use. The state of the art on the use and research of cloud computing in education was conducted via qualitative methodology. After a comprehensive analysis of the available literature, approx. 8 research works have been identified and discussed to highlight the importance and probable usage of cloud in the education domain. The survey identifies and analyses the advantages and risks that the use of cloud computing may have for the main stakeholders in education. The extensive analysis suggests that the introduction of cloud computing to management education is feasible to bring greater clarity landscape about its benefits.
