However, the CSR mandate has created greater awareness and that was evident from the results of utilizing social media platforms like Instagram after 2014. The findings show how this industry is chaotic and unpredictable. The study also shows how the Indian companies are transitioning and adopting these social media platforms is used for CSR activities.
