About

Ajay Kumar is a researcher whose work spans the intersecting domains of consumer behavior, hospitality management, and emerging technologies. His scholarship has made meaningful contributions to understanding how global disruptions — particularly health crises — reshape consumer decision-making in the tourism and leisure sectors. His most cited work, "Post-epidemic factors influencing customer's booking intent for a hotel or leisure spot" (2021), has garnered 37 citations and offers empirical insights into how travelers recalibrate their choices in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, a question of profound relevance to hospitality industries worldwide. This study positions Kumar as a thoughtful observer of the intersection between public health, consumer psychology, and economic recovery. More recently, Kumar has extended his research interests into the realm of artificial intelligence and human-robot interaction, exploring how engineering aesthetics and compatibility influence the societal adoption of social robots (2023). This work reflects a forward-looking intellectual curiosity about technology diffusion and its frictionless integration into everyday life. Collectively, Kumar's research demonstrates a commitment to addressing real-world challenges — from pandemic recovery to AI adoption — making his work highly relevant for students and practitioners navigating rapidly evolving social and technological landscapes.
