Hyderabad Stock Exchange (HSE).

The Indian brokerage industry has been consolidating steadily over the last 10 years, the
share of the top 10 brokers has risen to only around one-fourth of the total industry
revenues. In this fragmented market, leading players like ICICI Direct, Kotak Securities,
Indiabulls, Sharekhan, and 5 Paisa, apart from many small players, compete on the basis of
low brokerage fees and customer service. Buoyed by the bullish Indian stock market,
foreign banks such as Société Générale (SocGen), BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, and
Macquarie Bank (Australia) are eyeing stakes in Indian retail brokerages.
Increasing appetite for equities among investors, the convenience of online trading and
declining brokerage fees are the major growth drivers of the Indian retail brokerage
industry.

MEANS OF FINANCING

Financing a company through the sale of stock in a company is known as equity financing.
Alternatively, debt financing (for example issuing bonds) can be done to avoid giving up
shares of ownership of the company. Unofficial financing known as trade financing usually
provides the major part of a company's working capital (day-to-day operational needs).
Trade financing is
provided by vendors and suppliers who sell their products to the company at short-term,
unsecured credit terms, usually 30 days. Equity and debt financing are usually used for
longer-term investment projects such as investments in a new factory or a new foreign
market. Customer provided financing exists when a customer pays for services before they
are delivered, e.g. subscriptions and insurance

number of IPO’s coming to the market.

Intensity of Competition

Bharti Airtel underperformer, target Rs 289: Karvy
Published on November 3rd, 2009

Karvy Stock Broking has recommended an underperformer rating on Bharti Airtel, with
price target of Rs 289, in its report dated October 30, 2009. The stock closed at Rs 292.15
on October 30, 2009.

“On account of the significant headwinds being faced by the Indian telecom sector in
general and by Bharti Airtel in particular, there is little scope for any stock out-
performance, at least in the medium-term. At the CMP, the stock is trading at a P/E of 13.4x
FY11E EPS and an EV/EBITDA of 6.4x FY11E EBITDA. These valuations have
significantly come off due to the hammering the stock has taken over the past month,
having been beaten down by over 30%. We believe a lot of the downside has been captured
in the stock price. Nonetheless, given the bleak possibility of any stock price re-rating
owing to the various competitive headwinds in the sector, we do not expect an out-
performance from the stock. Thus, we put an ‘Under performer’ rating on Bharti Airtel and
arrive at a target price of Rs 289, including Rs 240 as the value of the core business and Rs
49 as the value of the towerco (Rs 34 as the value of its 42% stake in Indus Towers and Rs
15 as the value of Bharti Infratel standalone), based on our DCF calculations,” says Karvy
Stock Broking report.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Karvy has achieved a lot in the field of finance. Not much can be
suggested in regard to the policies and principles it has. The good
success rate is a clear reflection about the company’s strong rules,
coupled with dedicated work put in by its employees.

The following could help the company to become a pioneer in its field.

1) Karvy offered IPO’s but found it not quite profitable. The present
year has seen a boom in equities and a large number of IPO’s are
being issued by a umber of companies. This could be a good
segment to tap with. Entry into the IPO allotment procedure could
be quite helpful and profitable.
 2) Competitors like share khan, Geojit, etc. are known better than
karvy. The company lacks publicity. A good portion of the general
public is not quite aware of the existence of such an investment
firm like karvy, which caters to most of the available investing
instruments. The company could undertake promotional activities
with the general public as the target group. They could make
aware of the services they render to the public. This could attract
new customers which can be transformed into a long lasting
relationship. This could be put into action by having print
advertisements in papers like The Economic Times, Business Line,
Financial Express etc. Advertisement in CNBC-India could give a
very good brand image to the company.
3) The company acts as a mediatory for most of the investment
options. It gives people access to a wide variety of mutual funds,
Insurance schemes etc for third party companies. The company
can start its own mutual fund and start investing in stocks, debts
and government securities. It has a special and dedicated
Research Desk who are into constant monitoring of the share
markets. It can take advantage of this and start a separate mutual
fund. People will have good confidence in this and the business can
also be profitable.

CONCLUSION:
Investment in India has become more of a security necessity than a
business lifestyle. As the interest rates all over are dropping, people are
switching to other avenues which fetch better results. The risk band that
initially existed as been eased out and people are on the lookout for new
and better stuff. In olden days, one could invest only in a few companies,
but the present day has given people to try a wide range of companies.
The decision in regard to investments is based on the sector
performance as well as the strong fundamentals of the company. The act
of speculation has considerably been reduced due to the statistical data
and its analysis that companies like karvy do and people have become
intelligent investors rather than mere speculators. It offered exposure to
the wide range of investment options available. The risk factors involved
could be understood easily. It give a learning experience but also gave
an
idea on how we could incorporate the various investment options,
discovered by the
economists, into a good planning package.
