    Executive Summary

    Indian stock market is one of the oldest stock market in Asia. IIFL is one of the leading

    broking firms in India. It offers various facilities ranging from equity to commodities to

    insurance. Mr Nirmal Jain is the Managing Director of IIFL. It has opened various branches

    all over India. Its business model is based on franchisee model in which they offer their

    franchisees to different franchisee. We were given task of identifying various problems that

    were being faced by franchisees in doing their business due to which their gross generation of

    brokerages were less.

    We conducted telephonic interview with over 300 franchisees to analyse what are the various

    reasons due to which there is reduction in their brokerage generation. The whole process gave

    us a lot of insight in understanding the partnership model of business. We also did some

    telephonic interview with the inactive clients. The study helped me learn a lot about severalaspects of organization.

    The projects helped me to learn a lot about share market and how it works. It gave me a

    chance to peep into lives of investors and brokers, thus giving an insight about share market. I

    learned a lot about what goes into the mind of investors, how they think about any new

    investment in stock they have to make. What are the parameters which they focus while

    making their investment decisions. Therefore, giving me a fair idea that how investment

    decisions should be made.

    Part A

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    Indian stock markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200 years

    ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meagre and obscure. The east India

    Company was the dominant institution in those days and business in its loan securities used to

    e transact towards the close of the 18th century.

    By 1830s business on corporate stocks and shares in bank and cotton presses took place in

    Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen brokers

    recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850.The 1850s witnessed a rapid

    development of commercial enterprise and brokerage business attracted many men into the

    field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased into 60.In 1860-61 the American civil war

    broke out and cotton supply from United States of Europe was stopped; thus, the share

    mania in India begun. The number of brokers increased to about200 to 250. However, at the

    end of the American civil war, in 1865, a disastrous slump began (for example, bank of

    Bombay share which had touched Rs2850 could only be sold at Rs.87.)

    At the end of the American civil war, the brokers who thrived out civil war in 1874, found a

    place in a street (now appropriately called Dalal street) where they would conveniently

    assemble and transact business, In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the Native

    share and stock brokers (which is alternatively known as the stock exchange) in 1895, the

    stock exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it was inaugurated in 1899. thus, the

    stock exchange at Bombay was consolidated

    INDIAN STOCK EXCHANGES- AN UMBRELLA GROWTH

    The Second World War broke out in 1939. It gave a sharp boom which was followed by

    slump. But, in 1943, the situation changed radically, when India was fully mobilized as a

    supply base.

    On account of the restrictive control on cotton, bullion, seeds and other commodities, those

    dealing in them found in the stock market as the only outlet for their activities. They were

    6 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    7/61

    anxious to join the trade and their number was swelled by numerous others. Many new

    associations were constituted for the purpose and stock exchanges in all parts f the country

    were floated. The Uttar Pradesh stock exchange limited (1940), Nagpur stock exchanged

    limited (1940) and Hyderabad stock exchange limited (1944) were incorporated. In Delhi two

    stock exchanges-Delhi stocks and share brokers association limited and the Delhi stock and

    stock exchange limited were floated and later in June 1947, amalgamated into the Delhi stock

    exchange association limited.

    TRADING PATTERN OF THE INDIAN STOCK MARKET

    Trading in Indian stock exchanges are limited to listed securities of public limited companies.

    They are broadly divided into two categories, namely specified securities (forward list) and

    nonspecified securities (cash list). Equity shares of dividend paying, growth oriented

    companies with a paid up capital of at least Rs.50million and a market capitalization of at

    least Rs.100million and having more than 20,000 shareholders are, normally, put in the

    specified group and the balance in non-specified group. Two types of transactions can be

    carried out on the Indian stock exchanges

    1. Spot delivery transactions for delivery and payment within the time or on the date

    stipulated when entering into the contract which shall not be more than 14days following the

    date of contract.

    2. Forward transactions delivery and payment can be extended by further period of 14days

    each so that the overall period does not exceed 90 days from the date of the contract.

    A member broker in an Indian stock exchanges can act as an agent, buy and sell securities for

    his clients on a commission basis and l\also can act as a trader or dealer as a principal, buy

    and sell securities on his own account an risk, in contrast with the practice prevailing on New

    York a London stock exchanges, where a ember can act as a jobber or broker only.

    The nature of trading on Indian stock exchanges are that of age old conventional style of face

    to-face trading with bids and offers being made by open outcry. However, there is a great

    amount of effort to modernize the Indian stock exchanges in the very recent times.

    OVER THE COUNTER EXCHANGE OF INDIA (OCTEI)

    The traditional trading mechanism prevailed in the Indian stock markets gave way to any

    functional inefficiencies, such as, absence of liquidity, lack of transparency, unduly long

    settlement periods and benami transactions, which affected the small investors to a great

    extent. To provide improved services to investors, the countrys first ringless, scripless,

    electronic stock exchange-OTCEI- was created in 1992 by countrys premier financialinstitution-unit trust of India(UTI), industrial credit and investment corporation of India ,

    Industrial Development Bank of India(IDBI), SBI capital markets, IFCI, General Insurance

    Corporation and its subsidiaries and can bank financial services.

    Trading at OTCEI is done over the centers spread across the country. Securities traded on the

    OTCEI are classified into

    Listed securities: The shares and debentures of the companies listed on the OTC can be

    bought or sold at any OTC counter all over the country and they should not be listed

    anywhere else.

    Permitted securities: Certain share and debentures listed on other exchanges and units of

    mutual funds are allowed to be traded.

    Initiated debentures: Any equity holding at least one lakhs debentures of particular scrip can

    offer them for trading on the OTC.

    OTC has a unique feature of trading compared to other traditional exchanges. That is,

    certificates of listed securities and initiated debentures are not traded at OTC. The original

    certificate will be safely with the custodian. But, a counter receipt is generated out at the

    counter which substitutes the share certificate and is used from all transactions.

    24/61

    FLAME (Financial Literacy Agenda for Mass Empowerment) is an IIFL (India Infoline

    Group) initiative towards spreading financial literacy amongst masses to help their inclusion

    in the economic prosperity of India.

    With accelerating GDP, per capita growth as well as savings, financial literacy is more

    relevant and important today than ever before. While the governments emphasis on financial

    inclusion is to widen the reach of banking services to unbanked rural areas, we endeavor to

    complement the effort by helping people make the most of the available banking and financial

    services. Even the people who qualify as banked population have limited understanding of

    how to use financial products to help enhancement of financial security, building up wealth

    and ensuring a comfortable life post retirement, and also how to avoid frauds and losses from

    unscrupulous agents and ponzi schemes.

    The objective is to light a FLAME, which will be ignite many a flame to remove the darkness

    of illiteracy and steer the inclusion of the masses towards the sunshine of growth and

    prosperity

    This portal is but one of the various initiatives that IIFL plans to launch as a part of FLAME.

    PART B

    Low brokerage Generation Issue

    IIFL Ahmedabad branch for Gujarat circle

    Number of franchisees are over 250

    Number of BDMs are 10

    Average brokerages generated by each franchisee are Rs. 50,000.

    Average number of clients each franchisee have = 50

    Situational analysis

    Data from month January and February provided to us by the branch clearly showed that the

    average brokerages generated by franchisees were less as compared to the number of clients

    they had. Also the brokerages generated by them in previous months were greater than the

    brokerages generated by them in the last two month. To address this issue it was necessary to

    understand the reasons behind the low brokerage generations. Are franchisees facing any

    problem or they have any issues against the organisation which was not addressed yet. We

    also wanted to know whether BDMs/SMs regularly meet them to address their issues. Also a

    contest which was started for franchisees, which we wanted to know whether they are aware

    about it or not. What are the steps they have take for client engagement and to address the

    queries of franchisee. For this whether they would like to conduct any investor seminar. Also

    another motive of doing exercise was to get an updated address and contact details of all the

    franchisees.

    Main Problem:-

    33 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    34/61

    Brokerage generation for IIFL (Gujarat circle) was one of the emerging issue which was to be

    addressed.

    Methodology:-

    To find the issues that the franchisee may probably be facing, we conducted a survey for all

    the franchisees in the Gujarat circle. The data of all the franchisee of IIFL in Gujarat and their

    contact details was provided from the MIS of the company.

    Total franchisee in Gujarat is around 268 and we were to survey all of them. Out of these 268,

    we were able to survey 194 franchisee as other franchisee were non contactable either due to

    wrong numbers or unresponsiveness of the Franchisee.

    After the survey we sorted the data and found the franchisees with the brokerage generation of

    less than Rs. 65,000 in a year (April 2010 March 2011) for the company. We tried to find

    out the reason behind the less brokerage through the business development managers and then

    personally calling the franchisee. These efforts were mainly to increase the brokerage for the

    company which was expected by this research.

    Expected Results:-

    Finding out the issues and problems if any faced by the franchisee. Addressing this issues so

    that the brokerage generation will be increased over a period of time.

    Process of Survey:-

    Before starting the process of survey we decided that we would contact each franchisee and

    firstly give them information of recent contest SUMMER MANIA which was going on for

    34 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    35/61

    them. We planned to use Summer Mania Contest to initiate the process of telephonic

    interview with them. In this way we thought that, we would be able to generate interest of the

    Franchisees. As we know that unless a person is interested in having a conversation no fruitful

    information could be collected from them.

    Following are the issues which we wanted to address with the help of this survey

    Summer Mania Contest:-

    Summer Mania Contest was started for franchisees in the month of March 2011. The Contest

    was initiated to motivate the franchisees to get more and more clients who can invest more

    than Rs. 50,000. Mails regarding contest were circulated but many franchisee didnt knew that

    such kind of contest was going on. Purpose of including it in our survey was whether

    investors were aware about it or not. Whether BDMs/SMs had informed their respective

    franchisees personally. Our aim was to create awareness regarding contest if they didnt knew

    about it.

    Terminal Limit:-

    Terminal limit is the extra margin that each franchisee had which they could use if their client

    wanted to trade intra-day and he didnt have funds. We wanted to know how many

    franchisees are exactly aware about it and whether they use their terminal limit. It was

    important to know about it as it was directly concerned with the satisfaction of the clients. As

    many clients complaint about not being able to trade due to lack of cooperation from the

    franchisees. This data was important in analysing the lack of gross brokerage generation by

    the franchisees.

    Number of Segments:-

    Segments that were available to all the franchisees were BSE, NSE, F&O. We wanted to

    collect information regarding in how many segments they allow their clients to trade. This

    was necessary to understand how effectively and more services can be provided to the clients.

    It was important to analyse these things as it was going to affect the trading patterns of clients.

    Brokerage Tracking:-

    35 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    36/61

    Earlier all the franchisees could only track their Brokerages at the end of the month, since last

    a new facility was provided to all the franchisee in which they can track their brokerages on

    daily basis. Or in other words they can track it any time they wanted. Through this exercise

    we wanted to know whether they knew about this facility or not. Tracking of brokerages was

    important part of their business as they would like to know how much brokerages they have

    generated and how much more they would like to generate it. This was important for

    franchisee satisfaction.

    Client Interaction:-

    Client interaction was important part of the day to day business of the franchisee as it was

    directly related to the client satisfaction. Client interaction helped the franchisees in knowing

    their client more properly so that they can address their concerns and issues more efficiently.

    We wanted to know how many times within a month they interact with their clients. This was

    important for client satisfaction.

    Training Requirement:-

    Another aspect important in our whole exercise was to know whether the franchisees need

    any training regarding technicals or for account opening procedures. As many franchisees

    were not tech-savvy, we wanted to know whether they are facing any problem in operating

    the terminals. We also wanted to know what other kinds of training they need regarding

    marketing and promotional activities. This was important for creating more efficient

    franchisee holders so that they can work properly. It was for the empowerment of franchisees.

    Employee strength:-

    Employees in organisation help in completing the work efficiently and to service the clients

    better. Since every franchisee had on average over 50 clients. So it would be more convenientfor the franchisee as well as for client to do trading properly. Also having employees show

    how seriously you are interested in the business. Not only this it creates a good impression on

    the clients also as they know that if they face any problem during trading, people are their to

    help him.

    Investor Seminar:-

    Investor seminars were used to be conducted to create awareness about investment and for

    both current clients as well as for the prospective clients. As the new contest was going on so

    36 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    37/61

    it was a good time to conduct investor seminars so that new clients can attend them. It could

    have been used also as a marketing tool to get more and more new clients. Investor seminars

    are good marketing tools to attract new clients and retain old clients. It also helps in client

    interaction. This was important for client satisfaction and franchisee motivation.

    Queries/Problems:-

    This was the most important aspect of our whole process. In this part we were directly asking

    their problems and queries they had due to which their brokerages were very less. On the

    basis of these problems we could decide whether less brokerage generation is due to lack of

    support from IIFL or due lack of work done by franchisees themselves. Responsibility of

    having less brokerage should lie where? These things were important for both franchisee

    satisfaction as well as client satisfaction.

    Name of BDM/RM/BM:-

    We also wanted to how often BDMs interact with the franchisees and whether franchisee

    even know them by name or what post they held in IIFL.

    37 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    38/61

    Findings:-

    Summer Mania Contest:-

    Our findings from the survey showed that many franchisees actually werent aware that any

    such kind of contest was going on. That clearly showed that they are not checking their mails

    regularly and their BDMs have not informed them about the contest yet. We informed all therespective BDMs regarding it and made them aware that they should focus more on these

    38 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    39/61

    franchisees as they are taking their business seriously. And IIFL revenues are directly

    dependent upon the performances of the franchisees.

    Terminal Limit:-

    It was nice to know that many franchisees were aware about the terminal limit and were

    using them to help their clients trade better. This was a positive thing for the franchisee

    division as more and more franchisees were aware about it.

    Daily Brokerages:-

    39 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    40/61

    Still many franchisees didnt know that they can track daily brokerages which clearly show

    that the facility was not clearly communicated to the clients. This could be a reason for less

    brokerage generation.

    Various Segments:-

    Franchisee Segment details

    Segments

    40 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    41/61

    BSE 2

    NSE 20

    F&O 1

    BSE,NSE 24

    BSE,F&O 2

    NSE,F&O 40

    BSE,NSE,F&O 104

    This data clearly shows that the clients as well as franchisees are less interested in trading in

    BSE which also shows the industry trend.

    We decided to segregate the list of those Franchisees who were not F&O services to their

    clients. We contacted the respective BDMs to encourage their franchisees to use F&O for

    trading as it provides high gain for clients and also high brokerage generation for franchisee.

    This provided us an opportunity for addressing those franchisees who have less brokerage

    generation are not using currently F&O for trading.

    Client Interaction:-

    It was good to see that almost all the franchisees used to interact with the clients regularly.

    Those who didnt used to interact regularly, we told their respective BDMs to guide them

    about the benefits of client interaction.

    Training Requirement:-

    41 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    42/61

    Those who required training we made arrangements in coordination with respective BDMs.

    Employee Strength:-

    Many franchisee didnt had employees clearly shows that in trying to reduce cost they were

    actually losing on brokerages.

    Investor Seminar:-

    42 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    43/61

    We made all arrangements regarding conducting investor seminar for those who wanted to

    organise it. It was a positive sign that so many franchisees were interested in conducting the

    investor seminar.

    Queries:-

    All those

    franchisee who

    had problems we

    promised them

    that within a

    week we would

    resolve their

    issues in

    coordination

    with the BDMs.

    Most of the problems were solved within a week and rest of them were solved at a later stage.

    43 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    44/61

    We actually send all the issues of the franchisees to their respective BDMs who reverted back

    to us specifying that they had resolved all the queries and issues franchisees had.

    Following were the some of the problems/Queries:-

    A/c opening related problems

    Issues relating to Bills unreachability

    For branch transfer

    Information system related issues

    Change of Franchisee address.

    Terminal limit extension

    Marketing Promotions related issues

    Training in currency and commodity market

    Software guidance

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    45/61

    Client interaction regarding online trading

    As part of our summer project we were asked to contact around over 1000 clients whose

    margin in their DMAT account was either zero or negative. This task was more of a client

    interaction exercise building process. In completing this task our main focus was to

    understand why these clients have become inactive.

    Challenges:-

    To collect all the data

    To segregate the data between active clients and non active clients.

    To keep in loop respective franchisees of clients

    To understand their problems regarding operation of their DMAT accounts

    To contact them at an appropriate time

    45 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    46/61

    To make them understand the benefits of active trading

    To make them aware about their rights and responsibilities

    To get insight about their future goals.

    Objective:-

    To turn at least 15% of the non active clients into active clients and to address all the issues

    related to trading of clients and complaints if any:

    Problem Solving Process:-

    Contacting over 1000 clients would have taken a lot of time. It would have not solved the

    purpose of interacting with the clients. We wanted to devote as much as quality time with the

    clients which we can. So we decided to divide our work in three stages:-

    Contact the respective BDMs/SMs of clients(First Stage)

    Contact the respective franchisees of clients (Second Stage)

    Contact the clients directly (Third Stage)

    FIRST STAGE:-

    We contacted all the BDMs/SMs and gave them the list of inactive clients. We requested

    them to revert back to us about the possibility of their clients becoming active or inactive.

    The purpose behind this exercise was to filter are data so that we are not wasting our time in

    unnecessarily calling those clients who have already applied for closing or to those who are in

    active since long time. All the BDMs/SMs were very helpful in this filtering process. Due to

    46 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    47/61

    this filtering process are overall data got reduced to less than 400 clients from over 1000

    clients.

    Our new data set for clients was less as compared to earlier one and also it was filtered one.

    We formulated our strategy of at least converting 50% of these non active clients into active

    clients.

    SECOND STAGE:-

    After filtering out data set of clients, we decided to distribute it to the respective franchisees to

    contact them about their reason for not trading and if they are facing any problem in operating

    their account or in trading.

    The reason behind asking franchisees to contact their respective clients was to make sure that

    the franchisees are kept in the whole process. Also they shouldnt feel that they have been

    bypassed in the whole process as they are partners of IIFL and their incomes were also

    dependent upon the trading done by their clients.

    The whole process was very smooth and we received good reviews from franchisees for

    keeping them in the whole process. Many of clients would start trading in near future were the

    response we got from them.

    Still we decided to contact all these 400 clients ourselves also in order to get more insightful

    and also to understand the psychology of the clients.

    THIRD STAGE:-

    For our final stage we called all the respective in active clients to know about their problems

    and issues, if any, with the IIFL. Our main objective was not to make the clients active or to

    make them start investing again but was to understand the reasons for their non trading. We

    tried to make sure that clients are very open to us and they shouldnt feel like they are talking

    to some who are just calling for taking margin from them. We made sure that we understand

    their issues and problems. We found that many of them were not trading because of the

    47 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    48/61

    slowdown in the market. Many felt that time was not right for trading so thats why they were

    not trading. Many investors lost their money in last few months. Some of the reasons quoted

    by them for their non-trading are as follows:

    Markets have been too volatile

    Market is not good for investing currently

    They dont have access to market

    They will start in near future

    They have issues with the franchisee

    They are not satisfied with the services provided by IIFL

    We told them that markets will always remain volatile and they need to invest in those stocks

    which will give them returns in long run. For trading purpose market may seem volatile but

    for investment purpose the market is very stable.

    For those clients who didnt had access to market, we told them about our facility in which

    the client can call are sales representative to purchase or sell any share he wants. Not only can

    that he call the representative to get the information about market performance. He would also

    receive are daily trade calls which if he want can execute them.

    For those clients who had any issues with their respective franchisees, we noted them down

    and assured them that the appropriate action will be taken within one week. Many of theclients complained that their franchisees are trading on their account without informing them.

    We categorised all these cases into special category so that corrective actions can be taken

    regarding it.

    LEADS GENERATION FOR SALES TEAM

    As part of our final assignment we were asked to generate 20 hot leads of franchisees for the

    sales team. These leads were related to the franchisee model of IIFL. We needed to take

    appointment from the various franchisees of different brokers like SHAREKHAN,ICICI

    DIRECT,RELIANCE MONEY etc. who were interested in shifting their franchisee to IIFL.

    DATA COLLECTION PROCESS:-

    Collection of data for this task was different from are earlier tasks as we had to find the data

    from our own. To collect this data we referred the NSE website. Following are steps we took

    for collection of the data:-

    Used NSE website to collect members detail

    We segregated the data on the basis of cities

    We converted the raw data into a structured one

    Prepared excel sheet for members of different broking firms.

    Excel sheet included Name of the franchisee, Name of the broker, Address, contact

    details etc.

    QUESTIONNAIRE:-

    We spent around two days in order to understand how to go about this task. We actually

    analysed for these two days how the other sales representatives used to make these calls. On

    52 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    53/61

    the basis of our analysis and interaction with the sales representative we formulated a

    questionnaire form. The purpose of forming the questionnaire was that we wanted to be clear

    in our mind about how to go about that task. The questionnaire included general things like

    gross brokerage, number of clients etc. We were told by the sales representatives that the

    success rate would be very less and we shouldnt feel discouraged if we are not able to get the

    appointments. They told us to be calm and composed when we are calling to these prospective

    franchisees.

    Following are the points we kept in are mind to ask while calling:-

    Time duration with existing broker

    Clientele

    Active clients

    Average Monthly Volume

    No. of branch

    Gross Brokerage of last quarter

    PROBLEMS:-

    We faced some problems while making our calls to get appointments from the prospective

    franchisees. Data which we collected from the NSE website was not updated. We had to make

    sure that we are not calling at a time when they are busy. We had to make sure that we dont

    make any false promise to get the appointments. Some of the problems which we faced are as

    follows:-

    We didnt had updated data for the contact details of franchisees

    Data which we collected was not updated one which resulted in many unfruitful calls

    Franchisees were used to be busy at some particular time

    53 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    54/61

    We were not authorised to make any commitments on our side regarding brokerage

    sharing.

    We had to make calls only between 11 to 1 Oclock and after 4 Oclock.

    Appointments which we collected should be convenient for both the parties.

    Part C

    Learning From the summer internship

    The two months spend at IIFL Ahmedabad was my first real, full time exposure to the

    corporate world as I didnt have any work experience prior to coming here for doing my

    MBA. So it was my first experience of the professional life and I am glad that it was with

    IIFL, one of the biggest share market broker company in India. The exposure taught me a lot

    of technical as well as soft skills and I think it made me a better person.

    The projects helped me to learn a lot about share market and how it works. It gave me a

    chance to peep into lives of investors and brokers, thus giving an insight about share market. I

    learned a lot about what goes into the mind of investors, how they think about any new

    investment in stock they have to make. What are the parameters which they focus while

    58 | P a g e

  • 8/6/2019 Pankaj Summer Internship Report 101333

    59/61

    making their investment decisions. Therefore, giving me a fair idea that how investment

    decisions should be made.

    Apart from these technical skills I had learned many soft skills while working on the project.

    The way of communication with your peers and subordinates, working under pressure to

    complete the project on time, building and maintaining relationship with your stakeholders

    were important learning from the project. In my department maintaining relationship with

    franchisees was considered to be the most important work. Hence apart from the technically

    qualified one should also be very good at public relation work.

    The summer training was my first step in the corporate world and it helped to decide my

    future path and career.
