India, at present has become a giant corporate game reserve. So Indian companies are sprucing up their acts like never before to face up to the realities of fiercely competitive post-liberalization era.
Gone are the days of monopolies and with the advent of consumerism more and more business corporations are beginning to realize that the ultimate cutting edge of any business over its rival will be provided, by its people. Provision of providing broking service is a very crucial activity. It has a lot of legal complications & various norms, rules n regulations have to be followed.
I have realized this fact after completion of my summer training project. Despite of various difficulties and limitations faced during my summer training project on the topic "Future Prospects Of Broking Firm", I have tried my level best to find out the most relevant information from the organization to complete the assignment that was given to me. After completion of my summer training project I gained lot of experiences in the field of securities market. I got the opportunity to deal with various people. This summer training project has given me the opportunity to have first experience in the corporate world.
Theoretical knowledge of a person remains dormant until it is used and tested in the practical life. Through training I got an opportunity to apply my theoretical knowledge that I have acquired in my classroom to the real business world. In spite of few limitations and hindrances in the summer training project I found that even though the work was challenging but was fruitful in many ways. It gives enough knowledge about the online trading process undertaken by the company. It provided the practical knowledge of the working process of Religare Securities Limited . Also this summer training project has enhanced my capability in order to manage business effectively and in my career in future.
Moreover it was the first experience to mould the theoretical knowledge into practicality. In our course material whatever we read about stock market, research work, growth pattern of the Indian financial market, the emergence of broking firms etc, all were seems to be factual and I tried to apply those classrooms learning into my corporate life. So through this training I got the realization that although our organizational working style was quite practical but it was either an exaggerate form of our bookish theory or completely based upon the very fact of our bookish theory. Emergence of Online Trading
Online trading in India is the internet based investment activity that involves no direct involvement of the broker. There are many leading online trading portals in India along with the online trading platforms of the biggest stock houses like the National stock exchange and the Bombay stock exchange. The total portion of online share trading India has been found to have grown from just 3 per cent of the total turnover in 2003-04 to 16 per cent in 2006-07.
Online trading is the service offered on the internet for purchase and sales of shares. In the real world you place orders on your stock broker either verbally or in a written form. In online trading you will access a stock broker's website through your internet enabled PC and place orders through the brokers internet based trading engine.
