Innovation is the key to success- Proved by Indiabulls

Sameer Gehlaut, Rajiv Rattan and Saurabh Mittal, friends got together to start the

company. For some years they worked in the oil field services industry. The idea to start

their own outfit on a technology platform was born in 1999 when Gagan Banga joined

the three IIT-Delhi engineers who promoted the company. These first generation

entrepreneurs knew very well that nothing small works. They didn’t want to build a small

business which would get overnight success and shut down; rather they wanted to build a

sustainable profitable business

This idea was to target the huge untapped retail segment of the market. The first task of course was to work out a sound business model, which was sustainable and profitable. They soon realized the implicit strength of their model.In 1999-2000, there was dotcom boom, there were a lot of dotcoms coming into being, lot of venture capitalists were funding the dotcoms business but none of the dotcom had any revenue model so the scope of a dotcom business was immense. Indiabulls came into existence to take advantage of this. The 3 promoters got together and took over a defunct

Page 10: Project of India Bulls

brokerage company Orbis Securities- the whole idea was to get a brokerage license and a membership of the stock exchange. This brokerage firm was restarted and it started making miniscule amount of revenue for the company – it basically catered to the HNIs - High Networth Individuals. Immediately after this the venture capitalists were contacted. In this there were several models, which were discussed including involving a strategic investor. Initially the company was promoted as a dotcom company. The promoters chose the famous Charles Schwab model, which perfectly addressed their need to have the business on a technology platform. The idea was that since it worked in other parts of the world, it would work here also. The company thus had clear-cut revenue model. It was very clear in the minds of the promoters that revenue was very important. Profitability is the key to the entire thing. The emphasis on profitability was there from day one. Indiabulls has been profitable for every financial year beginning 2000-01 the only financial year it has not been profitable has been 1999-2000. The company focused on the retail segment and used Internet to exploit the massive scope in the retail segment. The company also enjoyed the first mover advantage, as at that time there was no company catering to the needs of retail segment through Internet.Sameer Gehlaut, took over as chairman and CEO, and now looks after sales, marketing and external relationships, while Rajiv Rattan, in the role of CFO and president, manages operations, finance and back office.

INTRODUCTION TO SECURITY MARKET

Page 16: Project of India Bulls

SECURITIES

The definition of ‘Securities’ as per the Securities Contracts Regulation Act (SCRA),

1956, includes instruments such as shares, bonds, scrips, stocks or other marketable

securities of similar nature in or of any incorporate company or body corporate,

government securities, derivatives of securities, units of collective investment scheme,

interest and rights in securities, security receipt or any other instruments so declared by

the Central Government.

The functions of Securities Market

Securities Markets is a place where buyers and sellers of securities can enter into

transactions to purchase and sell shares, bonds, debentures etc.

Further, it performs an important role of enabling corporate, entrepreneur to raise

resources for their companies and business ventures through public issues.

Transfer of resources from those having idle resources (investors) to others who

have a need for them (corporate) is most efficiently achieved through the

securities market.

Securities markets provide channels for reallocation of savings to investments and

entrepreneurship. Savings are linked to investments by a variety of intermediaries,

through a range of financial products, called ‘Securities’.

The securities one can invest

Shares

Government Securities

Derivative products

Units of Mutual Funds etc. are some of the securities investors in the securities

market can invest in

SEBI AND ITS ROLE

Page 17: Project of India Bulls

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the regulatory authority in India

established under Section 3 of SEBI Act, 1992. SEBI Act, 1992 provides for

establishment of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) with statutory powers

for:

(a) Protecting the interests of investors in securities

(b) Promoting the development of the securities market

(c) Regulating the securities market.

Its regulatory jurisdiction extends over corporate in the issuance of capital and transfer of

securities, in addition to all intermediaries and persons associated with securities market.

SEBI has been obligated to perform the aforesaid functions by such measures as it thinks

fit. In particular, it has powers for:

Regulating the business in stock exchanges and any other securities markets.

Registering and regulating the working of stock brokers, sub–brokers etc

Promoting and regulating self-regulatory organizations.

Prohibiting fraudulent and unfair trade practices.

Calling for information from, undertaking inspection, conducting inquiries and

audits of the stock exchanges, intermediaries, self-regulatory organizations,

mutual funds and other persons associated with the securities market.

The participants in the Securities Market

The securities market essentially has three categories of participants, namely,

The issuers of securities

Investors in securities

The intermediaries, such as merchant bankers, brokers etc.

While the corporate and government raise resources from the securities market to meet

their obligations, it is households that invest their savings in the securities market.

Page 18: Project of India Bulls

The segments of Securities Market

The securities market has two interdependent segments: the primary (new issues) market

and the secondary market. The primary market provides the channel for sale of new

securities while the secondary market deals in securities previously issued. The National

Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE), set up in the year 1993, is today the largest stock

exchange in India and a preferred exchange for trading in equity, debt and derivatives

instruments by investors.

NSE has set up a sophisticated electronic trading, clearing and settlement platform

and its infrastructure serves as a role model for the securities industry.

The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices; products and technology

have become industry benchmarks and are being replicated by many other market

participants

It provides a screen-based automated trading system with a high degree of

transparency and equal access to investors irrespective of geographical location.

The high level of information dissemination through the on-line system has

helped in integrating retail investors across the nation.

The exchange has a network in more than 350 cities and its trading members are

connected to the central servers of the exchange in Mumbai through a

sophisticated telecommunication network comprising of over 2500 VSATs. NSE has around 850 trading members and provides trading in over 1000 equity

shares and 2500 debt securities. Besides this, NSE provides trading in various

derivative products such as index futures, index options, stock futures, stock

options and interest rate futures.

At NSE, it has always been our endeavor to continuously upgrade the skills and

proficiency of the Indian investor. Since, financially literate investors are the backbone of

the securities market.

CAPITAL MARKET

Page 19: Project of India Bulls

The capital market provides financing to meet the denomination, liquidity, maturity, risk

(with respect to credit, interest rate, and market), and other characteristics desired by

those who have a surplus of funds and those who have a deficit of funds. The capital

market as a whole consists of overnight to long-term funding. The short to medium end

of the maturity spectrum is called the money market proper, and the long end is identified

as the capital market. The financial instruments range from money market instruments to

thirty-year or longer bonds in credit markets, equity instruments, insurance instruments,

foreign-exchange instruments, hybrid instruments, and derivative instruments. There has

been an explosion of innovation in the creation and development of instruments in the

money and capital markets since about 1960 in both debt and equity instruments.

Some of the important (by volume) money market instruments are Treasury bills, federal

agency securities, federal funds, negotiable certificates of deposits, commercial paper,

bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements, euro currency deposits, euro currency

loans, futures instruments and options instruments. Similarly, some of the key capital

market instruments are U.S. securities; U.S. agency securities; corporate bonds; state and

local government bonds; mortgage instruments; financial guarantees; securitized

instruments; broker-dealer loans; foreign, international, and global bonds; and Eurobonds

PRIMARY MARKET

The primary is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of new

securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding

through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate

of securities dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting.

In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a

commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in

the prospectus. Features of Primary Market are:-

This is the market for new long term capital. The primary market is the market

where the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called New

Issue Market (NIM).

Page 20: Project of India Bulls

In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to investors.

The company receives the money and issue new security certificates to the

investors.

Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business

or for expanding or modernizing the existing business.

The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formation

in the economy.

The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long term

external finance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the new

issue market may be raising capital for converting private capital into public

capital; this is known as ‘going public’.

Methods of issuing securities in the Primary Market

Initial Public Offer ue.

SECONDARY MARKET

Rights Issue (For existing Companies)

Preferential IssThe secondary market is the financial market for trading of

securities that have already been issued in an initial private or public offering.

Alternatively, secondary market can refer to the market for any kind of used

goods. The market that exists in a new security just after the new issue is often

referred to as the aftermarket. Once a newly issued stock is listed on a stock

exchange, investors and speculators can easily trade on the exchange, as market

makers provide bids and offers in the new stock.

Page 21: Project of India Bulls

Functions

In the secondary market, securities are sold by and transferred from one investor or

speculator to another. It is therefore important that the secondary market be highly liquid

(originally, the only way to create this liquidity was for investors and speculators to meet

at a fixed place regularly.)

Secondary marketing is vital to an efficient and modern capital market. Fundamentally,

secondary markets mesh the investor's preference for liquidity (i.e., the investor's desire

not to tie up his or her money for a long period of time, in case the investor needs it to

deal with unforeseen circumstances) with the capital user's preference to be able to use

the capital for an extended period of time.

For example, a traditional loan allows the borrower to pay back the loan, with interest,

over a certain period. For the length of that period of time, the bulk of the lender's

investment is inaccessible to the lender, even in cases of emergencies. Likewise, in an

emergency, a partner in a traditional partnership is only able to access his or her original

investment if he or she finds another investor willing to buy out his or her interest in the

partnership. With a securitized loan or equity interest (such as bonds) or tradable stocks,

the investor can sell, relatively easily, his or her interest in the investment, particularly if

the loan or ownership equity has been broken into relatively small parts. This selling and

buying of small parts of a larger loan or ownership interest in a venture is called

secondary market trading.

OTCEI (The OTC Exchange of India)

The OTC Exchange of India (OTCEI) incorporated under the provisions of the

Companies Act 1956, is a public limited company. It allows listing of small and

medium sized companies. The minimum issued share capital required of a company

that wants to be listed on OTCEI is Rs.3 million and the maximum Rs.250 million.

Companies engaged in investment, leasing, finance, hire purchase, amusement

parks etc., and companies listed on any other recognized stock exchange in India are

Page 22: Project of India Bulls

not eligible for listing on OTCEI. Also, listing is granted only if the issue is fully

subscribed to by the public and sponsor.

OTCEI is promoted by the Unit Trust of India, the Industrial Credit and

Investment Corporation of India, the Industrial Development Bank of India, the

Industrial Finance Corporation of India and others and is a recognized stock exchange

under the SCR Act.

Benefits

The OTCEI has set up a national, automated screen based and ringless stock

market. It helps companies raise finance from the capital market in a cost effective

manner and provides a convenient and effective avenue of capital market investment

for investors at large.

While the other recognized stock exchanges require that in order to have its

securities listed the company should have an issued capital of not less than Rs.3crores

out of which normally 25% is to be offered to the public, the minimum issued equity

share capital of a company for eligibility for listing on the OTCEI is Rs.30lacs.

Listing on OTCEI is advantageous to companies because of the high liquidity of

these securities, which is a result of compulsory market making, improved access and

speed of transactions resulting from the extensive network of electronically interlinked

counters.

Companies can obtain a fair price of their securities by negotiating the same with

the sponsors and save unnecessary issue expenses by placing their securities with the

sponsors who will in turn off load the securities to the public. This mechanism is now

popularly known as a bought out deal.

Its wide computerized net work will be spread all over India and will make

investment easier. All deals will be entered into through remote terminals which will be

connected to the mainframe computer of the OTCE

INTRODUCTION TO SHARE TRADING

PATTERN

TRADING

NSE introduced for the first time in India, fully automated screen based trading. It uses a

modern, fully computerized trading system designed to offer investors across the length

and breadth of the country a safe and easy way to invest.

The NSE trading system called 'National Exchange for Automated Trading' (NEAT) is a

fully automated screen based trading system, which adopts the principle of an order

driven market.

TRADING SYSTEM

NSE operates on the 'National Exchange for Automated Trading' (NEAT) system, a fully

automated screen based trading system, which adopts the principle of an order driven

market. NSE consciously opted in favour of an order driven system as opposed to a quote

driven system. This has helped reduce jobbing spreads not only on NSE but in other

exchanges as well, thus reducing transaction costs.

Market Types

Order Books

Order Matching Rules

Page 24: Project of India Bulls

DAY TRADING

It refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same

trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before

the market close of the trading day. This is different from After-hours trading. Traders

that participate in day trading are called day traders.

Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options,

currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate

futures, and commodity futures. Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms

and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm

employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However,

day trading has become increasingly popular among casual traders due to advances in

technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of the internet.

TRADER

In finance, a trader is someone who buys and sells financial instruments such as stocks,

bonds and derivatives. Traders are either professionals working in a financial institution

or a corporation, or casual individual investors or speculators. They buy and sell financial

instruments traded in the stock markets, derivatives markets and commodity markets,

comprising the stock exchanges, derivatives exchanges and the commodities exchanges.

Several categories and designations for diverse kinds of traders are found in finance,

these may include:

Stock trader

Day trader

Pattern day trader

Swing trader

Floor trader

Rogue trader

Page 25: Project of India Bulls

TRADING SYSTEM - MARKET TYPES

The NEAT system has four types of market. They are:

Normal Market

All orders which are of regular lot size or multiples thereof are traded in the Normal

Market. For shares that are traded in the compulsory dematerialized mode the market lot

of these shares is one. Normal market consists of various book types wherein orders are

segregated as Regular lot orders, Special Term orders, Negotiated Trade orders and Stop

Loss orders depending on their order attributes.

Odd Lot Market

All orders whose order size is less than the regular lot size are traded in the odd-lot

market. An order is called an odd lot order if the order size is less than regular lot size.

These orders do not have any special terms attributes attached to them. In an odd-lot

market, both the price and quantity of both the orders (buy and sell) should exactly match

for the trade to take place. Currently the odd lot market facility is used for the Limited

Physical Market as per the SEBI directives.

Auction Market

In the Auction Market, auctions are initiated by the Exchange on behalf of trading

members for settlement related reasons. There are 3 participants in this market.

Initiator - the party who initiates the auction process is called an initiator

Competitor - the party who enters orders on the same side as of the initiator

Solicitor - the party who enters orders on the opposite side as of the initiator

Page 26: Project of India Bulls

Spot Market

Spot orders are similar to the normal market orders except that spot orders have different

settlement periods vis-à-vis normal market. These orders do not have any special terms

attributes attached to them. Currently the Spot Market is not in use.

MARKET SEGMENTS

The Exchange operates the following sub-segments in the Equities segment:

Rolling Settlement

Limited Physical Market

Institutional Segment

Trade for Trade Segment

Rolling Settlement

In a rolling settlement, each trading day is considered as a trading period and trades

executed during the day are settled based on the net obligations for the day.

At NSE, trades in rolling settlement are settled on a T+2 bases i.e. on the 2nd working

day. For arriving at the settlement day all intervening holidays, which include bank

holidays, NSE holidays, Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. Typically trades taking

place on Monday are settled on Wednesday, Tuesday's trades settled on Thursday and so

on.

Limited Physical Market

Pursuant to the directive of SEBI to provide an exit route for small investors holding

physical shares in securities mandated for compulsory dematerialized settlement, the

Exchange has provided a facility for such trading in physical shares not exceeding 500

shares. This market segment is referred to as 'Limited Physical Market' (small window).

The Limited Physical Market was introduced on June 7, 1999.

Page 27: Project of India Bulls

Institutional Segment

The Reserve Bank of India had vide a press release on October 21, 1999, clarified that

inter-foreign-institutional-investor (inter-FII) transactions do not require prior approval or

post-facto confirmation of the Reserve Bank of India, since such transactions do not

affect the percentage of overall FII holdings in Indian companies. (Inter FII transactions

are however not permitted in securities where the FII holdings have already crossed the

overall limit due to any reason).

To facilitate execution of such Inter-Institutional deals in companies where the cut-off

limit of FII investment has been reached, the Exchange introduced a new market segment

on December 27, 1999.

Trade for Trade Segment

Indiabulls consolidated net worth is Rs.1023.19 million making it a well capitalized

company. The Company and ISL have received sanctioned facilities of Rs.1760 million

from 9 leading commercial banks and financial institutions.

WEAKNESS OF INDIABULLS

It should have its own mutual funds i.e. Indiabulls as of now does not have its

own mutual funds, instead of providing advises in mutual funds it should have its

own mutual funds

It should provide tips via SMS.

Too many people try to eat the same piece of pie i.e. people employed in

Indiabulls hit the same area to target their customers.

There should be a separate set of staff working in fields and trading on behalf of

their clients: India bulls has same set of staff who are making clients and also

trading on behalf of clients this hinders the relationship manager to provide

adequate and necessary tips to the clients and at times the managers are not in the

position to answer the questions of their clients relating to the current market

position as the are on fields.

It does not display the scripts in BSE on its terminal i.e. POWER INDIABULLS.

To trade in scripts in BSE the customer has to open the website

www.bseindia.com.

Commodities are not traded online (MCX-multi commodity exchange, NCDEX-

national commodity derivative exchange of India ltd.)

It does not provide with the indices of major world markets, ADR prices of Indian

scripts.

OPPURTUNITIES TO INDIABULLS

Page 45: Project of India Bulls

The external environmental analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for profit

and growth some examples of such opportunities include:

An unfulfilled customer need.

Arrival of new technologies

Increasing stake of Fallacom (U.S based company) in Indiabulls.

Stake of Mittal Steels in the company.

Financial services like banking.

Market expansion i.e. opening branches at untapped areas.

Indiabulls is registered with Luxembourg stock exchange and so can target other

stock exchanges.

ATM facility should be provided for easy withdrawals.

The Capital market in the last few years has turned out to be one of the favorable

avenues for the retail investors. This is due to the performance of the Indian

Industry in various sectors and the Economy in general. Even the future outlook

looks promising.

Scope of online trading on BSE.

Indiabulls has tied up with other third party companies to sell their products. Due

to the high client base of Indiabulls, there exists an opportunity to cross sell these

products in the market.

Market seems favorable for commodities trading. Should Indiabulls choose to

enter this segment it may prove to be a profitable venture.

THREATS TO INDIABULLS

Page 46: Project of India Bulls

Some of the examples include:

Shifts in consumer tastes away from firm’s products.

Emergence of competitor company who charging less brokerage.

Companies like Sharekhan, ICICI Direct, Kotak, and Private Brokers are major

threats to Indiabulls.

Banks with Demat facility jockeying for position

Local brokers capable of charging lower brokerage.

Industry competitors vying for the same target segment.

Changes in SEBI guidelines & other tax implications.

Government Regulations.

FINDINGS

Page 78: Project of India Bulls

Indiabulls sec. ltd. Is well reputed co. in security market due to

transparency in his work? It achieves its goals within a very short

period of times.

Indiabulls sec. ltd. Suffers from cash problem because head office is

not providing them sufficient cash to run day to day operation

successfully

Indiabulls provides it both on line and off line services under one roof.

Organization is utilizing their all resources very efficiently which

leads to increase in profits

Debts of co. as compared to total funds is satisfactory.

Increase in net profit shows increase in efficiency of the co.

Earning per share has shown good response in upcoming years.

RECOMMENDATIONSWorking of Back Office: There should be a person solely responsible for checking the Registration Kit to

ensure that it is complete in all respects and there are no rejections.

Page 79: Project of India Bulls

The policies related to Trading and DP should be consistent and in congruence with

each other.

The time lag between giving in the kits for registration and opening the account

should be reduced to ensure speedy and efficient service.

Any change in the policies of company should be given at least one month notice

before implementing it.

After getting Leads attention should be made on following points:

1. The calls made should be more informative and assertive.

2. The RM should provide an in depth demonstration of the software and client should

be assisted regularly.

3. Provision of a manual for online clients for ease of operation.

4. Time lag between the complaints put and follow up should be reduced.

5. Database should be verified properly, so that repeated entries do not occur. This will

reduce inconvenience to the clients, who complained about multiple calls received.

Analysis of Client Interaction (Already existing clients)

Client interaction and after sales services are the most crucial aspects for any business.

We carried out a study to gauge the level of satisfaction of the clients with the services of

Indiabulls. This helped us in understanding why Indiabulls has become one of the most

trusted brands within a span of five years.

1. The Relationship Managers(RM) should be made responsible to ensure that the

clients are well catered, thus, reducing switching over of A lot of time lag is there

between the follow up and the change of RM, as a result, the calls could not leave a

positive impact on the clients, so contacted. Therefore, follow up should be done fast

without any time lag.

2. Many clients did not know about the change of RM. This leaves a bad impression on

the concerned client, damaging the reputation of the firm. So, heed is taken in this regard.

3. The customers, who were satisfied with the services, appreciated this kind of follow

up. Therefore, such follow-ups are done from time to time, to gain customer confidence.

4. Many clients are not given confirmation after the trade, so they should be given due

information about it.

Page 80: Project of India Bulls

5. Complete net knowledge should be given to clients so that they may not find any

difficulty in login of their A/C on the Indiabulls website

6. routing, thereby reducing loss of business to the firm.

7. IndiaBulls by its distinctive feature can efficiently provides 100% satisfaction to its

various categories of investors. IndiaBulls is the only Brokerage house that provides

various privileges over Other Securities Company. On the other hand IndiaBulls provides

24*7 basis connectivity to its investors through On line &Off line facility.

Page 81: Project of India Bulls

CONCLUSION

IndiaBulls by its distinctive feature can efficiently provide 100% satisfaction to its

various categories of investors. IndiaBulls is the only Brokerage house that provides

various privileges over other brokerage houses. It is the only one who provides a

satisfactory redeem to both category of investors by providing them –Low brokerage

charges, annual maintenance charges are NIL, low a/c opening charges, provides cash

exposure facility, in order to provide financial assistance to those investors having lack o

funds to invest in capital market. On the other hand IndiaBulls provides 24*7 basis

connectivity to its investors through Online & Offline facility. And the most prominent

privilege i.e. Relationship Manager; in order to develop confidence to those investors

who are not aware to the security trading.

From the above survey, comparison charts & differential study: We can conclude that the

majority of prospective investors from the sample i.e. 65% want to invest in the capital

market and rest does not want to invest in stock market because either they don’t have

sufficient knowledge about stock market or they don’t have time or they feel that it is

risky to invest in stock market.

Apart of that Kotak and Sherkhan have a diversified business therefore their

concentration level is also spread over their multi purpose business. While IndiaBulls

have specialized one, so there concentration level is too high on the share market only. So

we can conclude that investors should rely on the services provided by IndiaBulls in long

run.
