Brief History of The Indian Capital Market The history of the capital market in India dates back to the eighteenth century, one of the oldest in Asia; When East India Company securities were traded in the country. Until the end of the nineteenth century securities trading was unorganized and the main trading centres were Mumbai and Calcutta. Of the two, Bombay was the chief trading centre wherein bank shares were the major trading stock During the American Civil War (1860-61). Bombay was an important source of supply for cotton. Hence, trading activities flourished during the period, resulting in a boom in share prices. This boom, the first in the history of the Indian capital market lasted for a half a decade. The bubble burst on July 1, 1865 when there was tremendous slump in share prices. Trading was at that time limited to a dozen brokers; their trading place was under a banyan tree in front of the Town hall in Mumbai. These stock brokers organized informal association in 1897 – Native Shares and Stock Brokers Association, Bombay. The Stock exchanges in Calcutta ad Ahmedabad also industrial and trading centers, came up later. The Bombay Stock Exchange was recognized in May 1927 under the Bombay Securities Contracts Control Act, 1925. The capital market was not well organized and developed during the British rule because the British...

...Abstract The paper talks about the primary market, FDIs, capital makets, banking sector and infrastructure financing as well. With all these elements in the India Financial market, it happens to be one of the oldest across the globe and is definitely the fastest growing and best among all the financial markets of the emerging economies. The history of Indian capital markets spans back 200 years, around the end of the 18th century. It was at this time that India was under the rule of the East India Company. The capital market of India initially developed around Mumbai; with around 200 to 250 securities brokers participating in active trade during the second half of the 19th century. The journey of Indian financial markets has been of many shades over the last decade. We have seen a lot of progress, but also significant pauses. Many twists and as many turns. Awe inspiring growth punctuated by its gasping lack of inclusiveness. Presumably, these are the teenage pangs of a free economy which is jostling for its rightful place in the Globe. The fastest free market economy is now face to face with the challenges and opportunities to opt for either slow and steady or fast and furious growth, in the next decade. Financial market You are fully aware that business units have to raise short-term as well as long-term funds to meet their working and fixed capital requirements from time to time. This necessitates not only the ready availability of such funds but also a transmission...

...INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN MARKETS THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF MARKETS IN INDIA MONEY MARKET Money market is a market for debt securities that pay off in the short term usually less than one year, for example the market for 90-days treasury bills. This market encompasses the trading and issuance of short term non equity debt instruments including treasury bills, commercial papers, bankers acceptance, certificates of deposits, etc. In other word we can also say that the Money Market is basically concerned with the issue and trading of securities with short term maturities or quasi-money instruments. The Instruments traded in the money-market are Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposits (CDs), Commercial Paper (CPs), Bills of Exchange and other such instruments of short-term maturities (i.e. not exceeding 1 year with regard to the original maturity) CAPITAL MARKET Capital market is a market for long-term debt and equity shares. In this market, the capital funds comprising of both equity and debt are issued and traded. This also includes private placement sources of debt and equity as well as organized markets like stock exchanges. Capital market can be divided into Primary and Secondary Markets. PRIMARY MARKET In the primary market, securities are offered to public for subscription for the purpose of raising capital or fund. Secondary market is an equity trading avenue in which already existing/pre- issued securities are traded amongst investors. Secondary market could be either...

...The Indian commodity futures volumes have grown 5.5 times from Rs.20.53 trillion in 2005-06 to Rs.112.52 trillion in 2010-11. Currently, the average monthly volume on the Indian commodity exchanges is Rs.6 trillion. MCX leads the industry, followed by NCDEX. MCX is not only number one in India but has achieved some global milestones too. It was the largest exchange in silver (in terms of number of futures contracts traded in 2010), number two in gold, copper and natural gas and number three in crude oil. When we say India is the largest exchange in silver, it is a great achievement for the Multi Commodity Exchange. Talking about agricultural commodities, the Indian commodities market has futures contracts of commodities such as black pepper, cumin seed, mentha oil and many more which are internationally traded but only listed in India; internationally traders tend to consider these as benchmark rates. Though it is at a nascent stage, the volumes in the Indian commodities market have a different story to tell. From Rs.20 trillion, the volumes have reached Rs.112.52 trillion in FY10-11. When we see this kind of a spurt in volumes, we must remember that it has primarily been a futures market, without Options. Foreign institutional investors, domestic institutions, banks and insurance companies are not allowed to trade on the Indian commodity bourses and a majority of volumes come from jobbers, arbitrageurs, retail traders and small scale enterprises and corporates (for hedging)...

Target marketing is an excellent utilization of your most valuable resources; time and money, for the generation of additional revenue. Importance of the Target Marketing Chances of a successful business aggrandizes only with the increase in the vivid vision of an expected customer base.

...Brief history of Indian Stock Market. The history of Indian stock market is about 200 years old. Prior to this the hundis and bills of exchange were in use, specially in the medieval period, which can be considered as a form of virtual stock trading but it was certainly not an organized stock trading. The recorded stock trading can be traced only after the arrival of East India Company. The first organized stock market that was governed by the rules and regulations came into the existence in the form of The Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association in 1875. After gone through numerous changes this association is today better as Bombay Stock Exchange, which remains the premier stock exchange since its inception. During this period several other exchanges were launched and some of which were closed also. Presently, there are 19 recognized stock exchanges out of which four are national level exchanges and the remaining are regional exchanges. National Stock Exchange, established in 1992, was the last exchange. Although the regional level exchanges are in existence the volume of trading in these exchanges is negligible. National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange are the leaders of Indian Securities Market in terms of listing, trading and volumes. The last 15 years of the Indian securities market can be considered as the most important part of the history where the market gone through the post liberalization era of Indian economy and witnessed the formation of Securities and...

...Concept of Free Market Economy with focus to Indian Economy and options for Bangladesh 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Free market economy has become the only economic system dominating the world after the collapse of socialism in Soviet Union and other East European countries. Today, the application of market mechanism is widespread all over the world. The free flow of capital and goods throughout the world has made the world like a single village. Success of countries practicing free market is only evident with the growth of the USA, the Scandinavian countries, Germany and France as major world powers. Countries such as India and China, by allowing liberalization of its trade to some extent and practicing free market principles brought about more efficiency among its domestic producers and increased its growth rate markedly. Free market existing with the doctrines of Socialism like limited regulation of prices by the government to protect the poor can be an ideal situation for developing countries like India, China and South East Asian countries to attain growth and prosperity. 2.0 FREE MARKET ECONOMY The term free market economy primarily means a system where the buyers and sellers are solely responsible for the choices they make. In a way, free market gives the absolute power to prices to determine the allocation and distribution of goods and services. These prices, in turn, are fixed by the forces of supply and demand of a respective commodity. In cases of demand falling short...

...Factor Markets in Indian IT Industry The following case-let is an attempt to understand the applicability of the concepts of “Labor factor markets” in the context of the country’s Information Technology (IT) industry. The Indian IT industry started in the early 70’s, grew in the early 80’s and 90’s and boomed in the late 90’s. The boom started with the Y2K problems and brought with it the internet / web era where every organization in the world wanted to have a web footprint in the form of a website (e-commerce site in a business language) and this continued until the early 2005’s. Until early 2005, the industry had collected so much data through its e-commerce sites that organizations now wanted to analyze historical data, establish consumer trends and leverage that data to make strategic business decisions, thus introducing “Business Intelligence” to the world. With the industry moving at such a high pace, there was indeed a huge demand for large but low cost workforces with IT knowhow that could translate standard / custom requirements into software solutions / products. By now, we can understand that IT programmers are the factors of production of this industry. (Hereafter, the words IT Programmer/software developer might be used interchangeably). The revenue model of the industry was different from others in the fact that maximum revenue was generated from junior software developers and as people moved into higher managerial roles the revenue generation in terms of self-billing...
