EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
This project is partial fulfillment of requirement of MBA 2nd semester in
Department of Management studies, Basaveshwar Engineering College,
Bagalkot.
The organization where I conducted my project was Aditya Birla Money. The
project focuses on the “Study On Online and Offline Share Trading”, Pune.
About Aditya Birla Money:
Aditya Birla Money Limited formerly known as Apollo Sindhoori Capital
Investments is a leading player in the broking space with nearly 15 years of
experience. It became a part of Aditya Birla Group in March 2009, when the
group acquired 76% of the company.
IMPORTANCE OF THE TOPIC
The security and exchange board of India has permitted such trading on
January-31-2000. After that many players have offered these services to the
investors. Is trading through Internet safe? What if someone steal my investments
or, does anyone else have access to my accounts? If these are the questions that
stop you from online share trading then the solutions are here. Which decade you
are living in? Internet trading today is one of the largest mediums of investments
and nothing can compete with it.
The Objective of Project is:
To study the existing online & offline share trading scenario with respect to
Aditya Birla Money.
To study the importance of IT in investment.

2. The study found that 28% respondents prefer Online Trading because it is
Time Saving and 54% respondents prefer Offline Trading because of

online share trading.
2. Thus awareness gives the opportunity for the acceptance of the online share
trading.

Area of Operation
Macro-economic data for the US and Europe show some recovery of economic
activity compared to the last year. The acute phase of financial crisis has
apparently passed by, and global economic recovery is under way. Financial
markets have stabilized. Interbank liquidity has reached a level close to its
“normal” pre-crisis range. Currencies, which fell against the U.S. Dollar in the
immediate aftermath of the crisis, have largely recovered to their pre-crisis levels.
Also, borrowing costs for emerging market borrowers have stabilized over the last
few quarters. International capital flows to developing countries have also
improved with a rapid run-up during the last months of 2009.
The continuing situation over Greece and some other European countries remains
a concern but countered action is being taken to deal with this. US unemployment
claims still remain a concern within US but still the improvement in the jobless
claims in early 2010 gives hopes of economic revival . The Fed’s move to keep
interest rates near- zero indicates the government focus on supporting the
economic recovery which is in nascent stage. China’s GDP expansion by 8.4% in
FY10 once again made it the fastest growing economy in the world. The growth
was driven by financial stimulus packages to infrastructure projects and also an
easy money policy. But the recent indications are one of tightening from the
Chinese central bank to prevent unnatural build up of asset prices. A revaluation
of Yuan is also a factor to reckon with.

Strengths
A Diversified Business Portfolio
We have a strong portfolio of diversified businesses across manufacturing and
services, in most of which we have a significant market presence. Our business
portfolio also has a blend of high growth and emerging businesses, and stable and
mature businesses. This allows us to de-risk ourselves from the dynamics of any
particular industry and has also helped us generate cash flows from our mature
businesses, which we have been able to invest in our emerging businesses to
create value for shareholders.
Strong Brands
We believe that as a consolidated Company, our continuing efforts on brand
building have resulted in the development and strengthening of a range of strong,
distinctive brands like ‘Louis Philippe’, ‘Van Heusen’, ‘Allen Solly’, ‘Peter
England’ in Garment business, ‘RAY ONE’ in the Rayon business, ‘Birla
Carbon’ in the Carbon Black business, ‘Linen Club’ in the Textile business and
‘Shaktiman’ in the Fertilizer business, which we believe enables us to derive
benefits in the market space, through greater consumer confidence and in certain
cases a premium pricing for our various products as against our competitors. We
believe we are able to leverage our brands to launch new products and extend into
new product categories like transforming our brands in Garments business from
pure shirts brands to wardrobe brands by introducing range of products namely
suits, jackets, t-shirts, accessories etc, which are further being transformed to life
style brands by introducing perfumes, shoes. Also, Allen Solly mainly a men’s
brand was extended to offer women apparels. We believe that in the process of
building these brands we have gained valuable insight into our clients / consumer
behaviour, which we leverage and utilize to drive business in today’s competitive
markets. Our brands have also won various awards and recognitions in both
national and international forums.

OUTLOOK
After an exciting 2009-10 which saw most equity markets around the globe
recover sharply from their March lows, the markets move into 2010-11 with hope
of a steady global economic recovery translating into pickup in business and
investment cycles.
Corporate earnings have been good and the strong GDP growth and IIP numbers
send signals that the economy is positively on revival phase. A stable government
that is focused on moving ahead with the divestment process and stepping up
infrastructure spending should support the recovery.
In India, while the view is positive on equity markets over the medium term,
2010-11 promises to be an interesting year as well as a challenging one. With this
background, and having posted encouraging numbers for the year ended March
31, 2010, your company is poised for growth and expansion in 2010-11. The
Company now see the need more than ever to work on the 5 pillars of our
business - Brand, Product, Distribution, Operations, Service and People – in a
focused and sustained manner. The Company plans to augment its research and
product offerings to match the best in the industry. Your Company will increase
its footprint mainly through business partners. However, additional branches are
being added predominantly in Western and Northern India which represent a large
opportunity for broking. This would also help to enhance the Company’s presence
in these geographies.
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 36
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREAT
The key concerns across markets at this point stem from the surge in inflation and
the timing of exit of the easy monetary policy by the central banks. This is the
time when real assets like commodities will be in focus and all financial markets
are likely to stay volatile.
The Company’s operations are linked to the general market and economic
conditions and any positive or negative move can impact revenues. However, the
Company looks for diversification and appropriate strategies to minimize the
impact.
Technology obsolescence is another area of concern in broking industry and can
create impediments to growth. However, your Company continues to assess
technology and other ancillary requirements on a regular basis and take
investment decisions at the appropriate time.
The market conditions and the Company’s plans for expansion and growth in
2010-11 are dependent on many external factors. Many of those factors will be
regularly monitored as they will be the key for delivery of our desired results. The
Company however continuously does a SWOT analysis, for ensuring a
sustainable growth by exploring various opportunities available in the market
under the applicable regulatory framework.
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 37
RISK AND CONCERNS
Like in any other business your Company is no stranger to risks. The Company
encounters market risk, credit risk and operational risks in its daily operations.
The typical risks themes around broking business are
• Volatility in markets

• Failure to execute transactions in line with prescribed processes and procedures
• Technology failures
The Company’s philosophy and approach to risk and its management is one of
informed investing. The
Company’s policies, procedures and systems are built around this theme. Some of
the broad guiding principles that are enumerated in the Company’s Risk
Management framework are as below:
• Systematic and structured risk policy framework
• Proper and informed client selection process
• Appropriate monitoring and surveillance for minimization of losses

“STUDY OF THE ONLINE AND OFFLINE SHARE TRADING”
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 59
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 60
INTRODUCTION
One reason why many people are never seriously interested in share trading
apart from the risk is that although they are curious, they know it is a hassle to go
some place to trade and handle all those paper certificates. Also, many don't have
the time for all this.
Online trading eliminates both these hassles. First by making your
transaction virtually paperless and second by enabling you to buy and sell shares
anytime anywhere where there is Internet access. In fact you can even place a sell
or buy order by specifying your order value during non-market hours. Which
broker can you talk to place a buy order in the middle of the night? With online
trading, this is easily possible.
It can be your home, office or Internet café; you are ready to go to your account to
buy or sell shares or to just watch how your portfolio is performing. There is
absolutely no paper involved whatsoever except for the initial application you
sign and give for the purpose of taking a web trade account.
Only thing you would need to do is send your money to the bank account so that
you have the money in the account to be able to buy your favorite stocks. Your
share trading system will be linked to your bank account and once you have the
money in the account it can be made immediately available for purchase of shares
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 61
IMPORTANCE OF THE TOPIC
The security and exchange board of India has permitted such trading
on January-31-2000. After that many players have offered these services to the
investors. Is trading through Internet safe? What if someone steal my investments
or, does anyone else have access to my accounts? If these are the questions that
stop you from online share trading then the solutions are here. Which decade you
are living in? Internet trading today is one of the largest mediums of investments
and nothing can compete with it. Its security and reliability can be proved by, the
increasing number of users every month. More than 5,000 people are registered
every month for online Investments. Apart from being totally secured, easy access
and speedy moves makes it more popular among day traders and other stock

Share Market Trading includes buying and selling of company shares either
through Stock Exchange or Over-the-Counter (OTC). It is also called the equity
trading. Shares are a certificate, which represents ownership rights of the holder in
the company.
Share Market is the market for securities where organized issuance and
trading of shares takes place either through exchanges or over-the-counter in
electronic or physical form. It plays an important role in channelizing capital from
the investors to the business houses, which consequently leads to the availability
of funds for business expansion.
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 71
Basically, Share Market can be divided into two parts:
1. Primary Market: -It is the market where new issues of securities are offered to
the investors.
2. Secondary Market: - An investor of a secondary market buys a security from
another participant of the same and not from any issuing corporation (as in case of
Primary Market).
Shares in the Share Market are either traded through:
(a) Stock Exchange: -
These are organized market places where stocks, bonds are other equivalents are
traded between the buyers and sellers where exchange acts as a counter-party to
both the participants in case of any default. The contracts are standardized and not
customized ones. For example, NYSE, NASDAQ, NSE, NIKKEI, etc.
(b) Over-the -Counter (OTC): -
These are not centralized exchanges. Here, the trade takes place through a
network of dealers. Generally, the OTC contracts are bilateral customized
contracts and not standardized ones.
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 72
The shares traded are Common Stocks.
(C) Common Stocks: -
Gives an ownership right to the holders of the stock and hence the shareholders
are entitled to the earnings of the company according to their stake. Holders also
get dividends on those stocks as and when given by the company. Liquidity of
common stocks are very high and can be bought and sold at any time of the
market hours.
Department of Management Studies, BEC Page 73
Important Participants of Share Market Trading are:
1) Buyer: - An investor who buys a script in the belief that the market will rise. If
his hinge becomes right then he makes profit otherwise he suffers loss.
2) Seller: - Seller of a stock sells in the hope that the stock price will go down.
3) Stock Broker Brokers are persons or firms who execute buy/sell order on
behalf of the investors and charge a commission for rendering the service.

Share Trading are done in three ways:-
(a) Offline Share Trading:- In this form of trading the customer either goes to
the share broker's place and sits before the share trading terminal and asks the
dealer to place orders in his account. Or rings the share broker, ask the share
quotes and other relevant information’s, and accordingly places orders over the
phone.
(b) Online Share Trading The client could avail the share market and could
place his order on his own from any place he wants, provided he has a computer
with an Internet connection.
(C) Open Outcry Trading: -
Here, the investors put their orders through the brokers and these share brokers in
turn place and execute orders on behalf of them on the floor of the exchange.
These brokers gather in a particular place on the trading floor known as Trading
Post. There is a person called as the Specialist present in the trading post who
does the matching of the buy and sell orders. This type of auction method is called
Open Outcry Method.

Suggestions
1. The company has to make aggressive marketing so that everyone is aware of the
online share trading.
2. Thus awareness gives the opportunity for the acceptance of the online share
trading.
3. On the other hand it shows that there is less awareness about the derivatives
segment so it is advice to the online broker to give the facilities to the trader.
