Facts and Findings

Out of 100 franchisees taken as sample, only 16% of them continued their business for more than 3 years which showed that they were satisfied with the company they worked for, rest still worked but were looking for more services and were little dissatisfied or had less customers.

Security Deposit was high for both equity and commodity.

One thing which was good about the company was that all its franchisees were registered in both NSE and BSE. Other companied didn’t had all the their franchisees registered.

45% of the franchisees knew Karvy as Registrar and transfer agent and were unaware of its broking house and thus showed interest in hearing its services. This was probably because of the reason that Karvy doesn’t go for promoting itself.

27

Brokerage was low in other companies as compared to Karvy and franchisees preferred to work on fixed basis rather than sharing basis.

One thing which we noticed in our study was that franchisees showed interest in Karvy because it was registrar of almost 80% of companies and so they could solve their problems easily.In addition separate vertical only looking for franchisees could solve their problems more easily than other companies.

TIN/PAN FC was liked by 63 % as it cold help them in getting more clients.

Cheque punching facility was liked and was not provided by any other company.

Our company was very rigid in its policy which actually should not be in order to be competitive.If company would reduce its cost to little extent it could acquire more market share because of its strong identity.

28

Conclusion

•Though the company is very big name in it self, the competitors are offering more flexible and competitive plans to their franchisee , so the company needs to modify their plan to gain more market share.

•Online Database is useful only for new players in the market.

•2 km facility is not so useful because franchisees have fear of other companies if not of the same company.

•Cost charged by Karvy from its franchisees are comparatively higher than the services actually provided.

•No franchisees are completely satisfied of its service provider

Recommendations and Suggestions

1) The Brokerage charges, 3 paisa and 30 paisa for intraday and delivery respectively, are quiet high. In the competitive market where brokerage is as less than 1P:10P,it is difficult to attract investors to trade at 3P:30P.It should be reduced.

2) The security deposit of Rs 150000(Equity) and Rs100000 (commodity) was high as compared to other plans in the market. It should be reduced to at least Rs 100000 for both Equity and Commodity.

3) The percentage of sharing of brokerage should be changed to 50:50.

4) The back-office cost of Rs 2000 per month is not reliable and it should be completely finished off.
