SHAREKHAN LTD.
1. INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING
Marketing is indeed ancient act .It has been practiced in one or

other form since human relation has come to existence. Its emergence as
management discipline however is of relatively recent origin and within this
relatively short period , it has gained a great deal of importance. In fact today
most management thinkers and practitioner’s world over regard marketing as
important part for business.
Marketing is becoming more attractive at the company ,state,

national and international levels. In the early days , there was no difference
between ‘selling’ and ‘marketing’ . With the development of new markets
and new avenues of selling , wide variety of consumer and producer goods
has been designed and developed .Marketing can be said as the oldest
profession. With the introduction of “Barter Exchange” market activity
started functioning.
The role of organizations in developing the marketing activity

cannot be ignored. Several institutions are developed in discharging market
functions. The institutions may be of any kind they need to satisfy the human
wants.

SHAREKHAN LTD.
A successful organizer knows the techniques of coordination and also

the act of selling his product in the target market .But to know the consumer
wants specifically in a consumer product ,it becomes necessary to know the
consumer. This form of knowing consumers wants, needs, desire, and attitude
brought consumer research into existence.
The marketing concept is built on the premise that marketers first

identity the consumer needs and then products and services to satisfy those
needs . Consumer research offers a set of diverse methods to identify such
needs.
Consumer’s research also is used to better understand consumption

behaviour . It is used to identify and to locate appropriate target markets and
to learn their media habits. It is used to identify both felt and unfelt needs ,to
learn how consumers perceive products and brand and stores , how and why
they make their consumption decision.
Thus , the aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy target customers

wants, perception, preference, and shopping and buying behaviour. Such
study will provide clues for developing new products, product features,
channels, messages and other marketing mean elements.
The term consumer behaviour refers to the behaviour that consumer display
in searching for purchasing using evaluation and disposing of products and
services that they expect will satisfy the needs .They study of consumer

SHAREKHAN LTD.
behaviour is the study of how individual make decisions to spend their

available resources (time, money, effort) on consumption relined items .It
includes the study of what they buy? Why they buy? And how they often
they use it?
To understand the concept we take a small example of product “toothpaste”.

Which type of toothpaste’s do consumer buy (Gel, regular, regular in a tube,
with a pump), which to (remove stains, to brighten or whiten teeth, as a
mouth wash, to attract, romance etc.) where do they buy it (supermarket,
drugstore, convenience stores).
The answer to these questions can be found through consumer

research and provide manufactures with important inputs for the product
scheduling design modification and promotional strategy.
INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL MARKET
CAPITAL MARKET :
This deals in shares and debentures. Companies raise the capital through the issue
of shares and debentures. Capital Market provides and opportunity for the
investing public to know the trend of different securities and the conditions
prevailing in the economy. Capital market is the barometer of the company by
which you are able to study the economic conditions of the country and it enables

SHAREKHAN LTD.
the Government to take suitable action. The capital market has two components.
They are :
Primary Market :
A primary market is where new securities are offered to the investing public for the
first time. Hence it is also called new issue market. In the primary market , the
government and public sector undertakings as well as corporate units borrow funds
or issue capital in the form of securities, shares bonds etc., The activity here refers
to raising capital of ownership or debit nature.
Secondary Market :
The Secondary Market represents the availability of shares from the stock market
through the brokers. Share are purchased or sold according to the returns or
expectations in the future market. They can buy and sell existing securities, invest
and disinvest or re-channel funds from the company into another or one type of
securities into another the secondary market is an important adjustment of the
primary data.
Financial Institutions :
Every country needs the service of Financial institutions for accelerating the pace
of development. The institutions not only provide Financial Assistance to
Industries undertakings but also help in creating infrastructure facilities. Financial

SHAREKHAN LTD.
Institutions provides means of Mechanism of transferring resources from those

who have excess of income over expenditure to those who can make production
use of the same.
Financial Institutions can be broadly classified into developmental institutions and

investment institutions in former category, there are institutions of All-India stature
namely IDBI, IFCI, ICICI and at state-level stature namely State Finance and
Development Corporations. In the category of investment institutions, these are all
Indian bodies like UTI, LIC , GIC etc., and state level bodies like the state
Industrial Development corporations (SIDC’s) and State Industrial Investment
Corporation (SIIC’s) and State Infrastructure Development Corporations.
These Financial Institutions are the main players in the Market, either in the
Primary Market or the Secondary Market. Besides giving loans and advances to
Industrial units, they invest in their debentures and equity shares, provide the seed
capital for new and small entrepreneurs, underwriter stocks, shares , debentures
and various other instruments in the capital market or subscribers to new issues or
buy and sell these instruments in the secondary market.
Financial Institutions are classified into two major categories as Banking

Institutions and Non-Banking Financial Institutions.

SHAREKHAN LTD.
Non-Banking Financial Institutions :
Non-Banking Financial Institutions carry out financing activities but their

resources are not directly obtained from the savers as debt. Instead, these
Institutions mobilize the public savings for rendering other financial services
including investment. All such Institutions are financial intermediaries and when
they are known as Non-Banking Financial Intermediaries (NBFC’s)or Investment
Institutions.
 UNIT TRUST OF INDIA

 LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION (LIC)
 GENERAL INSURANCE CORPORATION (GIC)
Apart from these NBFC’s another part of Indian financial system consists of a
large number of privately owned, decentralized and relatively small-sized financial
intermediaries. Most work in different, miniscule niches and make the marker
more broad-based and competitive. While some of them restrict themselves to
fund-based business, may others provide financial services of various types. The
entities of the former type are termed as “Non-Banking Financial Companies

SHAREKHAN LTD.
(NBFC’s). The latter type are called “Non-Banking Financial Companies

(NBFC’s).
According to Reserve Bank India (Amendment Act) 1997, a Non-Banking Finance

Company means.
(a) A Financial Institutions which is company.

(b) A Non-Banking Institution which is a company and which has as its
principal business is receiving of deposit under any scheme or arrangements
or in any other manner or leading in any manner.
(c) Such other Non-Banking Institutions or class of such Institution as the Bank
may, with the previous approval of the Central Government specify.
Reserve Bank of India has set in place additional regulatory and supervisory
measures the demand more financial discipline and transparency of decision
making on the part of NBFC’s. NBFC’s regulations are being reviewed by the RBI
from time to time keeping in view the emerging situations. Further, one can expect
that some areas of co-operation between the Banks and NDFC’s may emerge in the
coming era of E-commerce and Internet Banking.
The Task Force of NDBC’s appointed by the Government of India submitted its
report in October, 1998, which recommended rationalization of regulations for,

SHAREKHAN LTD.
NBFC’s improvement of the legislative framework for protecting the interests of

depositors and development of NDFC’s on sound and healthy lines on January 2,
1998 the RBI issued detailed guidelines regarding norms of deposit acceptance.
Prudential norms, etc., for various categories of the NBFC’s. These were later
reconsidered and revised guidelines were issued on January 31, 1998 ; deposit
entitlement limits were raised in certain cases to minimize hardship without
endangering the interests of depositors.
According to these guidelines an NBFC will have to obtain the minimum

prescribed investment rating before accepting public deposits. The limit of
acceptance of public deposits has been linked to the NOF of NBFC’s and its rating.
While equipment leasing companies having NOF of Rs. 25.00 lakh and above and
having a credit rating of AAA, AA, A and A – can accept public deposit of 4
times, 2.5 times, 1.5 times and 0.5 times respectively, of their NOF, a loan
company having NOF of Rs. 25 Lakh and above having credit rating of AAA, AA,
A will be allowed to accept deposit form public up to 2 times, 1 time and 0.5 time
respectively of NOF. Furthermore, NBFC’s with NOF less than Rs. 25 Lakh have
been prohibited from accepting public deposits with immediate effect.
Non-bank financial companies (NBFC’s) also know as a non-bank or a non-

bank bank , are financial institutions that provide banking service without meeting
the legal definition of a bank, i.e. one that does not hold a banking license.
Operations are, regardless of this , still exercised under bank regulation. However

SHAREKHAN LTD.
this depends on the jurisdiction, as in some jurisdictions, such as New Zealand, any
company can do the business of banking, and there no banking licenses issued.
Non-bank institutions frequently acts as suppliers of loans and credit facilities,

however they are typically not allowed to take deposits form the general public and
have no find other means of funding their operations such as issuing debt
instruments. In India, most NBFC’s raise capital through chit Funds.
Activities of NBFC’s :
 Mutual Funds
 Consumer Loan / Credit Card
 Insurance
 Leasing
 Hire purchase
 Factgoring

CAPITAL MARKETING
Concept of Marketing :
Marketing is regarded as an activity involving buying and selling of products and

services. However as a subject of study it has been approached in more than one
way- commodities, institutional, managerial, social and systems approach.
The conceptual backdrop to the study of managerial marketing is provided by the

managerial orientation built up by the firm. Broadly four types of managerial
orientation are identified namely, production, sales, promotion and consumer.
In promotional orientation the managerial concern focuses on selling but emphasis

shifts to advertising and sales promotion as means of problem solving. In consumer
orientation the focus is on consumer need satisfaction and profits. The consumer

SHAREKHAN LTD.
orientation of management is best reflected in the adoption of the marketing

concept. It means recognition must be made in the light of consumer needs and
wants.
Modern marketing course all business activities necessary for ascertaining

market demand, planning product availability, effecting transfers of ownership of
products, providing for their physical distribution and facilitating the enter
marketing process.
Marketing is the ongoing or continuous process of defining, anticipating and

creating customer needs and wants, and of organizing all the resources of the
enterprise to satisfy customer demand at the desirable profit to the firm and also to

Marketing playas a pivotal role in the growth and development of country. The
development of marketing has always kept pace with the Economic Development

change. Rather we say that marketing is the by-product of Economic

Development.
At the recent stage, marketing has gained a wide recognition because of the
increasing pace of production. To a great extend, economic growth of a country
depends on the performance of marketing activities which stimulates the demand
for goods and services and leads to higher production. Marketing is further

services and increases the standard of all field. Marketing itself being a complex
mechanism, involves a number of functions and sub functions which call for
different specialized persons for employment.

increased capital formation is considered a key to economic development. Thus
marketing provides a systematic discipline to economic activity.
Indian Financial System :
The Indian Financial system has established a strong link between savings and
investments by creating a unique mechanism through which varied economic
activates are created, sustained and developed. In this background the Indian
financial system which supplies the necessary financial inputs for the production of
goods and services which in turn promote the well-being and standard of living of
the people in the country.
The responsibility of financial system is to mobilize savings in the form of money

and monetary assets and invest them in productive ventures. An efficient
functioning of the financial systems facilitates the free flow of funds to more
productive activities and thus promotes investments.
Thus financial system is a broad and comprehensive term which brings under its

A good capital market is an essential pre-requisite for industrial and commercial

development of a country. Capital market is a central co- ordinating and directing
mechanism for free and balanced flow of financial resources into the economic
system operating in the country.

SHAREKHAN LTD.

and unorganized. The structure of my capital market consists of the sources of
demand for and supply of long term capital. In the organized sector of capital
market, demand for long term capital comes from corporate enterprises, public
sector enterprises, Government and Institutions. The sources of supply of funds

CONCLUSION
The process of economic liberalization in India began in 1991. As part of

this process, several capital market reforms were carried out by the capital market
regulator securities and Exchange Board of India. One such measure was to allow
trading in equities. Based derivatives on stock exchanges in 2000. The step proved
to be a shot in the arm of the capital market and volumes board within three years.
The success of the capital market reforms motivated the government to kick off
refers in the secondary market. Indian Investor community has undergone sea
changes in the past few years. India now has a very large investor community now
has a very large investor population and shall increasing volumes of trades.
The growing importance of the Indian stock market place may be noted in terms
of increased mobilization of funds growing number of investors account.
Indian stock market industry has remained cantered around limited product
range. Efforts to expand and develop the market innovative products have been
negligible. This has happened due to the tendency to avoid risk, inability to
understand future market development and changes in investor preference.

SHAREKHAN LTD.
The absence of product diversification and a confused market situation has been
made more by the absence of an innovative marketing network. Online is
considered as one of the innovative network. The product range offered by stock
broking firms needs to be redesigned to cater the changes in the short term,
medium term and long term savings and investment markets.
The innovative product should meet the need of not only the conventional
risk-averse type of investors. The future of the Indian economy belongs to the debt
market. Therefore security dealing firms should take early initiative to capture the
potential with innovative schemes and products.
Management is considered to be a key for the operational efficiency of any

business venture. This factory becomes even more crucial for service ventures such
as stock broking business venture. What stock broking and emerging market
potential, investor preference and macro-economic fundamentals.
The market success of any new product particularly financial product depends
largely on its acceptance by consumers, in the case investors. Stock market
industry must undertake a well-designed and comprehensive program of investor
education especially aimed at investors in rural and semi-urban area. However this
has been mostly neglected in India. In India most of the broking business comes

SHAREKHAN LTD.
from the small investors and efforts shall be concentrated about serving them
efficiently, and this would help them in being a good intermediary for providing
various financial services due to its reach to the mile.
SEBI has been playing a significant role in the regulation of stock market
SEBI’s steps like dematerializing, and trading through net etc., has increased the
transparency of the trading than before.
Even though SEBI has taken so many steps to make our stock market trading
system more transparent, always we can see that one or another scams taking place
in stock market. The government has to take necessary steps to avoid all these kind
of bad things, which rule our stock market.
In the global market place no industry can afford to be struck by inertia. But it is
management, which is crucial to the success of any business operation.
