The nation has experienced a remarkable surge in digital transactions, characterized by the seamless transfer of value across payment platforms using digital devices like smartphones, POS terminals, or computers, facilitated by channels such as mobile data or SWIFT. Key digital payment methods in Chennai encompass bank transfers, mobile wallets, and payment cards (credit, debit, and prepaid cards). Since the inception of IMPS by NPCI in 2010 to the introduction of UPI in 2016, the landscape has continuously evolved.

Abstract
This study delves into work life balance and employee well being within remote and hybrid work setups through the JD R model. Analyzing data from 257 employees, regression analysis reveals a negative correlation between job dem ands and both employee well being and work life balance. Conversely, job resources positively impact employee well being and work life balance. Individual coping strategies serve as crucial mediators, buffering the adverse effects of job demands on employe e well being and work life balance. The findings emphasize the significance of organizational support in managing job demands and enhancing job resources to foster employee well being and work life balance.Providing sufficient resources like autonomy and social support can mitigate the negative impact of job demands, while promoting effective coping strategies among employees can further bolster their well being and facilitate a healthier work life balance. Understanding these dynamics within the JD R model framework offers actionable insights for organizational policies and practices. By prioritizing supportive resource allocation and promoting adaptive coping strategies, organizations can create environments conducive to employee well being and the seam less integration of work and personal life in remote and hybrid work settings.

Abstract
In the current digital era, social media's widespread presence and the growth of online purchasing platforms have had a significant impact on how consumers behave. This study explores the complex interaction between social media platform marketing for online shopping and consumer purchasing behaviour. This study aims to shed light on the degree to which social media ads affect customers' purchase decisions by conducting an extensive literature analysis and conducting empirical research. Data from a varied sample of customers across different demographics is gathered through surveys and interviews as part of an approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methods.This study tries to identify patterns and trends in consumer behaviour in reaction to social media advertising by looking at things like the frequency of exposure to online shopping adverts, the products advertised, and the demographic features of consumers. It is expected that the research's conclusions would clarify how well online shopping ads influence consumers' choices, attitudes, and purchase intentions. Insights from this study could also have a significant impact on businesses and marketers who want to maximise the impact of their social media advertising campaigns in order to better connect and influence their target audience.
Key words: online shopping, advertisement, social media , customer behaviour.
