SUMMARY:Seminar Series - India's Gig Economy: Mapping Challenges Through Last-Mile Delivery & Worker Insights
DESCRIPTION:The Paari School of Business at SRM University-AP is organising a Research Seminar titled “India’s Gig Economy: Mapping Challenges Through Last-Mile Delivery & Worker Insights”. The session will feature Dr Krishna Veer Tiwari\, Assistant Professor in Operations & Analytics at FLAME University\, Pune\, as the expert speaker. \nDr Tiwari holds a PhD in Management Science and has served as a visiting researcher at the University of St. Gallen\, BITS Pilani\, and Hiroshima University. Recipient of prestigious fellowships from the Swiss Government and the Association of Information Systems\, he brings corporate experience from organisations such as Robert Bosch\, Force Motors\, and Volvo. \nThe session is expected to benefit students\, researchers\, and faculty members interested in gig economy dynamics\, supply chain operations\, labour market economics\, and algorithmic management. \nAbstract \nWhile platform-driven delivery services have expanded India’s gig economy and created widespread employment\, they have also highlighted critical challenges regarding worker safety\, income stability\, and algorithmic control. This study investigates the operational and labour issues faced by delivery workers\, focusing on transparency and well-being. Employing a scoping review\, bibliometric mapping\, and quantitative surveys\, the research analyses dominant academic themes along with worker perceptions on earnings and working hours. Furthermore\, qualitative data gathered from semi-structured interviews with last-mile delivery personnel highlights key pain points and potential mental health impacts to inform future policy interventions. \nKey Details \n\nDate: September 23\, 2026 (Wednesday)\nTime: 03:00 PM to 04:00 PM\nVenue: C402\, C.

SUMMARY:From Clouds to Loops: Discovering Shape in Data
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics at SRM University-AP is organising an academic seminar titled “From Clouds to Loops: Discovering Shape in Data” focusing on Topological Data Analysis and Topological Machine Learning. Scheduled for Friday\, October 30\, 2026\, the session features Dr Priyavrat Deshpande from the Chennai Mathematical Institute as the expert resource person. \nThe presentation addresses geometric approaches to understanding complex\, high-dimensional datasets. Moving beyond standard statistical averages and linear correlations\, the talk examines how data collected from images\, motion tracking\, sports analytics\, biological systems\, and social interactions organise into structural shapes such as loops\, branches\, clusters\, and voids. Dr Priyavrat Deshpande introduces fundamental concepts in topological data analysis and topological machine learning through practical examples\, demonstrating how geometric analysis provides structural clarity without requiring mathematical preparation beyond elementary linear algebra and probability. \nKey Details \n\nDate: Friday\, October 30\, 2026\nTime: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM IST\nVenue: Tiered Classroom\, Level 5\, Administrative Block\, SRM University-AP\nResource Person: Dr Priyavrat Deshpande (Chennai Mathematical Institute)\n\n
