    Conceptually the mechanism of stock market is very simple. People who are exposed

    to the same risk come together and agree that if anyone of the person suffers a loss the

    other will share the loss and make good to the person who lost.

    The initial part of the project focuses on the sales of types of the products of the

    company, and also focuses on the acquisition of the customer. The job profile is to

    create customer, making good relationship with them to have their references and

    motivating them to trade for the company benefit and their profit.

    It also enlightens the readers about the Sharekhan strategies to acquire the

    customer base. Further the project tells us about the profile of the company (SHARE

    KHAN). It provides knowledge to the readers about the companys history, mission,

    customer base and about the company in detail. and management of the company. Also

    it gives special emphasis on the selling of products and management of the company.

    Also it gives special emphasis on the selling of products.

    The next chapter is devoted to study the comparative analysis of the competitors and

    the SWOT analysis, which tells about the Share khan edge over its competitors. This

    project leads us towards the job descriptions and difficulties faced by me.

    The next part of the project throws light upon my findings and analysis about the

    company and the suggestions for the company for better performance.

    During this project I have been given the responsibility of creating customer, handling

    team, generating leads.

    The topic is to study the consumer preference towards investment in stock market.

    DEMAT A/C is a pool of various scripts and securities, where as online trading A/C is

    a tool of purchasing/ selling of shares or scripts online. These scripts are then transferred

    to DP i.e. Depository account after three days.

    This topic includes the practical experience of selling company product that is

    followed by studying the consumer preference or interest towards share market. This is

    a market, which is uncertain some time it gives huge profit and also vice versa; it

    depends up on the investment cus tomer made . This is a better option to have

    better returns on the investments then investing in banks, mutual fund or bonds et. But

    risk is high in this case. This product o f f e r s customer two t y p e of investment

    option INTRADAY and DELIVERY both has there own benefits and limitation buta better way to have more returns on investment. Intraday means investing in share

    market for a day i.e. purchasing and selling of the share in one day. Delivery is

    purchasing share and selling those shares next day. The charges that company charge in

    terms of brokerage is different in both the cases.

    GENERAL

    INTRODUCTION

    Dematerializat ion

    The dematerialization system is an alternative to the physical existence of securities. In

    this system securities are converted into the electronic form and deposited in a

    depository account in the investors name.

    In order to dematerialize certificates, an investor will have to first open an account

    with a DP and then request for the dematerialization of

    certificates by filling up a Dematerialization Request

    Form (DRF), which is available with the DP, and submitting the same along with the

    physical certificates. The investor has to ensure that before the certificates are handed

  • 8/6/2019 Summer Term Report

    10/40

    10

    over to the DP for demat, they are defaced by marking "Surrendered for

    Dematerialization" on the face of the certificates.

    Procedure for selling dematerialized

    securities

    The procedure for selling dematerialized securities in stock exchanges is similar to the

    procedure for selling physical securities. Instead of delivering physical securities to the

    broker, you instruct your DP to debit your account with the number of securities sold by

    you and credit your broker's clearing account. This delivery instruction has to be given to

    your DP using the delivery instruction booklet received from the DP at the time of

    opening the account. The procedure for selling securities is given here below:

    Investor sells securities in any of the stock exchanges linked to NSDL

    Through a broker.

    Investor gives instruction to DP to debit his account and credit the broker's

    (Clearing member pool) account.

    Before the pay-in day, investor's broker gives instruction to his DP for

    delivery to clearing corporation

    The broker receives payment from the stock exchange

    (clearing corporation).

    The investor receives payment from the broker for the sale in the

    same manner payment is received for a sale in the physical mode.

    Introduction of Stock Market

    Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200

    years ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meager and obscure. The

    East India Company was the dominant institution in those days and business in its loan

    securities used to be transacted towards the close of the eighteenth century.

    By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses took place in

    Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen brokers

    recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850.

    The 1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage

    business attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased

    into 60.

    In 1860-61 the American Civil War broke out and cotton supply from United States of

    Europe was stopped; thus, the 'Share Mania' in India begun. The number of brokers

    increased to about 200 to 250. However, at the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, a

    disastrous slump began (for example, Bank of Bombay Share which had touched Rs 2850

    could only be sold at Rs. 87).

    In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock Brokers'

    Association" (which is alternatively known as "The Stock Exchange"). In 1895, the Stock

    Exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the

    Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated.

    Thus in the same way, gradually with the passage of time number of exchanges were

    increased and at currently it reached to the figure of 24 stock exchanges.

    HISTORY OF ONLINE TRADING:

    Online stock trading is very old concept for big institutions who trade

    thru private networks owned by Reuter's "Instinet" and a system called

    "Posit" since 1969. But it becomes internet based for lay men only in late 90s.

    Funny, that actually idea was first time used by a company making Beer

    called "WIT beer" to help its shareholders trade its shares. Thats how "WIT

    Capital" was born which is considered pioneer of this concept. It was made

    mainstream and household name by a offshoot of Charles Schwab & Co called

    eSchwab which is used by millions of people in USA. Lot of NRI's i know play

    in US stock market even when they come to India for holidays via website

    of eSchwabe.

    There are other serious players like E*trade, DATEK online etc. All this

    companies ask you to start account with US $5000 and you can buy and sell

    stock using these funds. They also issue you a check book which you can use

    to make payments from this account. Or use their ATM card to withdraw cash

    from your stock trading account.

    Today practically every big name brokerage firm offers online stock tradingas it reduces their costs. Earlier they had army of brokers on phone with

    clients executing trade, which is done by computers accepting orders from

    clients directly. This firm now offers human access to high net worth accounts, and to rest

    at charge per trade.

    Sharekhan is a product of SSKI, a veteran equities solutions company with over

    decades of experience in the Indian stock markets. Sharekhan does not claim expertise

    in too many things. Share khans expertise lies in stocks and that's what it talks about

    with authority. So when he says that investing in stocks should not be confused with

    trading in stocks or a portfolio-based strategy is better than betting on a single horse, it is

    something that is spoken with years of focused learning and experience in the stock

    markets.

    Ever- increas ing market

    After the NSE brought the screen based trading system stock markets are now more

    secured which has attracted lot of retail investors and the demand is increasing day by

    day. This has resulted in improved liquidity and heavy volumes on transactions.

    Sharekhan is one of the early entrants here. As to how much it will roar and how swift it

    can swoop on the market, the future alone can answer such queries. Sharekhan has been a

    mega player and is known for being a mover of stocks. It is also known for putting big

    deals through and enjoys good networking with the FIIs. It has been dynamic enough to

    move with the times and capture the opportunities that the market throws up from time to

    time.

    Improving Technology

    In country like India technology is always improving which gives the company a chance

    to keep on improving their product with time whereas for the small players like local

    brokers it will be difficult to keep the same pace as the changing technology. Also with

    SEBI lying down some strict guidelines small brokers are finding it harder to retain the

    customers with no research department and small capital. The traditional business

    model is highly dependent on a large network of sub-brokers, and many established

    players may not have systems (technology, customer service, etc.) capable of directly

    servicing so many retail customers.

    U nfulfill ed needs of the cus tomers

    With so many competitors offering their products in the market but no one is able to

    completely satisfy the customers. Some have the problem of lack of information or some

    were scared of volatility of the stock markets. Sharekhan has the opportunity to tap this

    unsatisfied set of customers and to make hold in the market. The Internet serves to break

    all barriers to information, as it offers an extremely hassle-free investing platform. And,

    Sharekhan hopes to fully utilize and capitalize on this platform. This original idea by

    Sharekhan itself was born out of the consumer's need for a more transparent, easy to

    understand and convenient option of investing in stocks.

    Education Level

    The education level in the country is improving year after year as far as technology

    goes. With that the understanding of the stock market is also increasing and a lot of retail

    investors are steeping in the markets which is being shown by increasing volumes,

    transactions and indices.

    Company has an advantage of reach tips for which sharekhan s known for, the

    customer who are new they need relationship managers who will tell them

    about investment so it should be provided to al the customer on demand this

    will lead to customer satisfaction and will hip to have more references from the

    satisfied customer.

    The company also have the advantage of brokerage charges it need some

    revision so that the customer who are locking for the less brokerage can open

    there account in are company taking into consideration the different proposal, it

    can be reduced for a HNI client.

    The company has shown the growth trend and it has reached at no 2 it can move

    to no one because it has an advantage of its services. As sharekhan is already

    tieup with 7 banks for online fund transfer that reduces the paper work for

    customer and ease in trading.

    The company can increase the customer base if the account opening

    charges it reduced from 750 to 400, which will give, boost the

    competition.

    The company should revise the advertising strategy to increase its brand

    awareness. I suggest making advertisement on television so that maximum market

    can be targeted.
