Abstract
COVID-19 happened to be the black swan event that has shocked the whole world which is still struggling with some or the other way. The research in the finance domain also surged in the aftermath of the pandemic. India is one of the top countries that have had severe effects of the pandemic therefore this study reviewed the whole finance literature that have been published in India by taking COVID-19 as a main variable. A total of 621 research papers were retrieved from the Scopus database and to review them systematically, authors employed Bibliometric analysis methodology. The study finds that the publication trend moves upward significantly. It also finds the most productive authors, journals and institutions. Additionally, this review segregates the whole literature into four clusters namely “COVID-19 and Stock markets”, “Risk Hedging”, “Behavioural Studies” and “Supply chain finance”. This review culminates the knowledge structure and throws light on the future research directions. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that reviewed the Finance and pandemic literature of India.
