STOCK MARKET
INTRODUCTION TO STOCK MARKET
Stock Market is a place where shares of pubic listed companies are traded. The primary market is where
companies float shares to the general public in an initial public offering (IPO) to raise capital.
Once new securities have been sold in the primary market, they are traded in the secondary market—where one
investor buys shares from another investor at the prevailing market price or at whatever price both the buyer and
seller agree upon. The secondary market or the stock exchanges are regulated by the regulatory authority. In India,
the secondary and primary markets are governed by the Security and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
A stock exchange facilitates stock brokers to trade company stocks and other securities. A stock may be bought or sold
only if it is listed on an exchange. Thus, it is the meeting place of the stock buyers and sellers. India's premier stock
exchanges are the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange.

MY FAVOURITE INDUSTRY
Stock market is my favorite industry ,because I am a STOCK TRADER(Intraday trader), I relish the chance to
be challenged by the unpredictable every day of the week. Being able to take on risk, implement my own
strategies and be rewarded for the money I bring into a firm is only a small part of my decision to become a
trader.
Trading is often viewed as a high barrier-to-entry profession, but as long as we have both ambition and
patience, we can trade for a living (even with little to no money). Trading can become a full-time career
opportunity, a part-time opportunity, or just a way to generate supplemental income.
INDIAN STOCK MARKET
India has two main stock exchanges ;
1) NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE (NSE)
The NSE National Stock Exchange is the leading stock exchange of India. It is the fourth largest in the world
(based on equity trading volume). Based in Mumbai and established in 1992, it was the first stock exchange
in India to offer a screen-based system for trading. The NSE or National Stock Exchange is the leading stock
exchange of India. It is the fourth largest in the world (based on equity trading volume). Based in Mumbai
and established in 1992, it was the first stock exchange in India to offer a screen-based system for trading.
The NSE was initially set up with an aim to usher in transparency to the Indian market system, and it has
ended up delivering on its aim quite well. With the help of the government, the NSE successfully offers
services such as trading, clearing as well as the settlement in debt and equities comprising domestic and
international investors.

2) BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)
The BSE or the Bombay Stock Exchange is a lot older than its cousin. It was Asia’s first stock exchange. With
a trading speed of 6 microseconds, the BSE is the fastest stock exchange in the world.
The BSE does have some interesting history. A man named Premchand Roychand founded the Native Share
and Stock Brokers Association in the 19th century. In those times, it used to function in Dalal Street under a
banyan tree - where traders would gather together to buy and sell stocks. Gradually, the network expanded
and the exchange was established by the name of Bombay Stock Exchange in 1875.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF
INDIA (SEBI)
The Securities And Exchange Board Of India called SEBI is the regulatory authority established under the
SEBI act 1992 and is a regulator for stock exchanges in India. SEBI has major and primary functions include
protecting the investor interests, promoting and regulating the Indian securities markets. The SEBI set up
originally in April 1988, became a legal entity in March 1992.

STOCK BROKER
A stockbroker is a middleman who has the authority to buy and sell stocks and securities in a stock exchange
on the investor’s behalf
Stocks are traded through exchanges. However, an investor cannot directly trade in stock exchanges. To buy
a stock or sell a stock through exchanges, you need an intermediary who will help you with the transaction.
This middleman can be a person or a company who is authorised to buy and sell stocks and other securities
on your behalf. Such a person or a company is known as a stockbroker. Stockbrokers are generally associated
with a stockbroking firm, but they can also be an independent person. For providing this service, a
stockbroker charges a commission or a fee.
When understanding stockbroker meaning, one should note that a stockbroker is performing a service for
the investor. The role of a broker is to buy and sell shares for a client. Stockbrokers also play another vital
role; they provide information that helps an investor make correct investment decisions.
Let us look at the services a stockbroker traditionally provides to its clients in greater detail.
1.Stockbrokers give accurate advice on buying and selling stocks and other securities. Since they know the
markets, they can advise a client on what stocks to buy and sell and when to buy or sell them. They
thoroughly research securities before making such recommendations
2.Stockbrokers buy and sell shares on behalf of their clients and handle the associated paperwork. They
also act as a record keeper and keep records of all transactions, statements and so on
3.Stockbrokers manage the client’s investment portfolio and provide regular updates to their clients about
their portfolios. They also answer investment questions that a client may have
4.Stockbrokers inform their client about any new investment opportunity in the stock market
5.Stockbroker also helps a client to make changes in investment strategies depending on the market
conditions

UPSTOX
COMPANY PROFILE
Upstox Private limited is an Indian stock broking company. The company headquarter is in Mumbai, India.
The company offers online investments in stocks, derivatives, commodities, currencies, mutual funds and
ETFs for both professional traders and investors.
Upstox has also ensured full transparency in pricing by offering zero brokerage on equity delivery trades and
up to Rs. 20 per order for intraday, F&O, commodities, and currencies. The company ensures that its clients
reap the benefits of a high-tech online trading platform and the best-in-class services every step of the way—
from the time they open an account to executing financial services.
The brand name Upstox and logo are the registered trademarks of RKSV Securities India Pvt. Ltd. The cost-
effective brokerage plans make Upstox a trustworthy and reliable online stockbroker.
In January of 2012, they set out on a mission. How could simplify the trading and investing experience in
India? How could increase investor participation in the capital markets?
Then they realized that there were three important factors traders truly cared about. Pricing, customer
support, and powerful trading software that was easy to use. Little did they know that within a few years,
Upstox would be launched(2015).
Over the past four and a half years, the company focused on the first two factors. Free equity delivery trading
and a flat Rs. 20 order pricing model took care of the pricing component. With customer service, they
continuously track two simple metrics. Calls must get answered within 30 seconds, and 10+ languages had
to be supported.
The third factor - trading software- was the difficult one to address. Many questioned their decision to not
continue with company existing trading platform. After all, virtually all other brokers in India use it. Why re-
invent the wheel, many asked to them?
Re-inventing the wheel
Page 7 of 22
At the end of the day, They realize that a user's trading experience had to be enjoyable. It had to be mobile-
first, ensuring that anybody with a smartphone could place trades. Users also had to be able to trade on the
web, right on their favorite browser. They identify that they could provide their users the best trading
experience in India right on their smartphones and browsers.
At the same time, they also knew that it was time to begin thinking about rebranding the company. They
would now become what they have always wanted to become: a product-first company. While other brokers
focus on low pricing and keep the user experience as an afterthought, they would do the opposite: generate
a great trading experience by emphasizing product and design while ensuring that pricing was kept low.
They wanted to create a lasting brand that reflected what they passionately believed in: that any citizen of
India, with the right investing and trading tools at their disposal, could build wealth by trading through the
stock markets.
With all this in mind, They are proud to announce that They have re-branded RKSV to Upstox. Upstox
perfectly embodies everything they stand for. A powerful and easy to use trading app that will empower
traders for years to come. At the same time, one of their primary goals has always been to make it easier for
investors to build wealth through the stock markets. By buying and holding stocks for the long term, where
the markets generally go up over time, investors can take control of their finances.

REASON BEHIND THE UPSTOX LOGO
WHY THE ARC ?
Page 14 of 22
As a form, the arc is abstract. It captures upward movement in an intuitive way, without relying on narrow,
literal concepts like graphs or charts. The arc slots neatly into place at the fore of the 'u', creating a custom
letter form that is a modern take on the decade-old way of writing—on paper, in cursive.
The new look is meant to be a reminder of Upstox’s tremendous growth over the last decade and the new
phase in our journey - one that keeps going up! The word ‘UP’ also captures their story of growth far more
instinctively.
‘UP’ is universal.
One that everyone aligns with, and a story everyone wants to be a part of.
‘UP' integrates naturally with Upstox,
At the most basic conceptual and linguistic level.
Page 15 of 22
Purple —The shade that represents the wisdom of age-old investing made modern.
It also illustrated the creativity constantly embedded into their products, the wealth they wish to help their
customers create and the undying ambition of Upstox to keep doing better.
And, purple being a strong yet subtle colour, allows us to make room for our future endeavors. A future that
revolves around you, leading the way UP!

UPSTOX REVENUE
Upstox collected 80.7% of its income through brokerage and allied services fees charged from users on its
platform. These collections grew by 104.05% to Rs 124.9 crore in FY20.
Further, interest on bank deposits earned 14.5% of the total income while miscellaneous non-operating
income accounted for the rest 4.8%.
The growth was evident for the share trading platform floated by RKSV Securities but it sure came at a price.
The Tiger Global-backed company increased its scale of operations 2.01X but its annual expenditure
ballooned 3.11X to nearly Rs 187 crore during FY20.
The costs incurred on employee benefits surged 2.5X to Rs 32.4 crore in FY20 from Rs 13.09 crore in FY19.
Costs attributable to directors’ remuneration made up 25% of these expenses and grew 3.7X during the same
period.
During FY20, Upstox’s expenditure on advertisement and promotion had grown 6.6X to Rs 47 crore from
only Rs 7.1 crore spent on the same during FY19. Upstox has also signed a two-year sponsorship deal with
the Board of Control for Cricket In India to be an official partner of the Indian Premier League. The deal will
reportedly cost the company Rs 45 crore per year.
Upstox paid Rs 15.2 crore as sub brokerage expenses in FY20 which increased 2.5X from Rs 6.06 crore paid
in FY19. Costs related to clearing fees and e-sign charges also jumped 3.3X to Rs 7.7 crore in FY20.
Costs related to transaction processing surged by 68.7% to around Rs 28 crore while customer support
expenses jumped 3.5X to Rs 25.2 crore during FY20.
Page 18 of 22
Upstox paid Rs 20.2 crore as legal and professional charges which ballooned 6.7X during the fiscal FY20.
Rental and office costs of Rs 5.5 crore pushed the net cash flow from expenses to Rs -85.02 crore during FY20
from positive inflows of Rs 32.02 crore in FY19.
Upstox had posted a post-tax profit of Rs 13.06 crore in FY19 but with an increase in costs, it slipped into
losses of nearly Rs 38 crore during FY20. Its EBITDA margins have also depleted severely from 19.57% in FY19
to -24.35% in FY20.
The financial performance of Upstox hasn’t been great in FY20 but still, it is healthy when we compare it
with other growth-stage startups in the B2C space. It looks like the company had prioritised scale after raising
funds from Tiger Global in FY20.
Upstox was profitable in FY19, however, on the lines of FY20, the company is likely to post a loss in FY21 as
online stock buying space has turned hyper-competitive with Zerodha, Paytm Money and Sequoia-backed
Groww.
While Upstox has continued to be the second top player in the stockbroking space until now, it’s likely to
face an enormous threat from Paytm Money and Groww which is in talks to mop up over $100 million from
Tiger Global and Ribbit Capital.

  • 3. STOCK MARKET INTRODUCTION TO STOCK MARKET Stock Market is a place where shares of pubic listed companies are traded. The primary market is where companies float shares to the general public in an initial public offering (IPO) to raise capital. Once new securities have been sold in the primary market, they are traded in the secondary market—where one investor buys shares from another investor at the prevailing market price or at whatever price both the buyer and seller agree upon. The secondary market or the stock exchanges are regulated by the regulatory authority. In India, the secondary and primary markets are governed by the Security and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). A stock exchange facilitates stock brokers to trade company stocks and other securities. A stock may be bought or sold only if it is listed on an exchange. Thus, it is the meeting place of the stock buyers and sellers. India's premier stock exchanges are the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. Page 3 of 22
  • 4. MY FAVOURITE INDUSTRY Stock market is my favorite industry ,because I am a STOCK TRADER(Intraday trader), I relish the chance to be challenged by the unpredictable every day of the week. Being able to take on risk, implement my own strategies and be rewarded for the money I bring into a firm is only a small part of my decision to become a trader. Trading is often viewed as a high barrier-to-entry profession, but as long as we have both ambition and patience, we can trade for a living (even with little to no money). Trading can become a full-time career opportunity, a part-time opportunity, or just a way to generate supplemental income. INDIAN STOCK MARKET India has two main stock exchanges ; 1) NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE (NSE) The NSE National Stock Exchange is the leading stock exchange of India. It is the fourth largest in the world (based on equity trading volume). Based in Mumbai and established in 1992, it was the first stock exchange in India to offer a screen-based system for trading. The NSE or National Stock Exchange is the leading stock exchange of India. It is the fourth largest in the world (based on equity trading volume). Based in Mumbai and established in 1992, it was the first stock exchange in India to offer a screen-based system for trading. The NSE was initially set up with an aim to usher in transparency to the Indian market system, and it has ended up delivering on its aim quite well. With the help of the government, the NSE successfully offers services such as trading, clearing as well as the settlement in debt and equities comprising domestic and international investors. Page 4 of 22
  • 5. 2) BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE) The BSE or the Bombay Stock Exchange is a lot older than its cousin. It was Asia’s first stock exchange. With a trading speed of 6 microseconds, the BSE is the fastest stock exchange in the world. The BSE does have some interesting history. A man named Premchand Roychand founded the Native Share and Stock Brokers Association in the 19th century. In those times, it used to function in Dalal Street under a banyan tree - where traders would gather together to buy and sell stocks. Gradually, the network expanded and the exchange was established by the name of Bombay Stock Exchange in 1875. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA (SEBI) The Securities And Exchange Board Of India called SEBI is the regulatory authority established under the SEBI act 1992 and is a regulator for stock exchanges in India. SEBI has major and primary functions include protecting the investor interests, promoting and regulating the Indian securities markets. The SEBI set up originally in April 1988, became a legal entity in March 1992. Page 5 of 22
  • 6. STOCK BROKER A stockbroker is a middleman who has the authority to buy and sell stocks and securities in a stock exchange on the investor’s behalf Stocks are traded through exchanges. However, an investor cannot directly trade in stock exchanges. To buy a stock or sell a stock through exchanges, you need an intermediary who will help you with the transaction. This middleman can be a person or a company who is authorised to buy and sell stocks and other securities on your behalf. Such a person or a company is known as a stockbroker. Stockbrokers are generally associated with a stockbroking firm, but they can also be an independent person. For providing this service, a stockbroker charges a commission or a fee. When understanding stockbroker meaning, one should note that a stockbroker is performing a service for the investor. The role of a broker is to buy and sell shares for a client. Stockbrokers also play another vital role; they provide information that helps an investor make correct investment decisions. Let us look at the services a stockbroker traditionally provides to its clients in greater detail. 1.Stockbrokers give accurate advice on buying and selling stocks and other securities. Since they know the markets, they can advise a client on what stocks to buy and sell and when to buy or sell them. They thoroughly research securities before making such recommendations 2.Stockbrokers buy and sell shares on behalf of their clients and handle the associated paperwork. They also act as a record keeper and keep records of all transactions, statements and so on 3.Stockbrokers manage the client’s investment portfolio and provide regular updates to their clients about their portfolios. They also answer investment questions that a client may have 4.Stockbrokers inform their client about any new investment opportunity in the stock market 5.Stockbroker also helps a client to make changes in investment strategies depending on the market conditions TOP STOCK BROKERS IN INDIA ▪ ZERODHA ▪ UPSTOX ▪ ICIC SECURITIES ▪ HDFC SECURITES ▪ ANGEL BROKING ▪ 5PAISA Page 6 of 22
  • 7. UPSTOX COMPANY PROFILE Upstox Private limited is an Indian stock broking company. The company headquarter is in Mumbai, India. The company offers online investments in stocks, derivatives, commodities, currencies, mutual funds and ETFs for both professional traders and investors. Upstox has also ensured full transparency in pricing by offering zero brokerage on equity delivery trades and up to Rs. 20 per order for intraday, F&O, commodities, and currencies. The company ensures that its clients reap the benefits of a high-tech online trading platform and the best-in-class services every step of the way— from the time they open an account to executing financial services. The brand name Upstox and logo are the registered trademarks of RKSV Securities India Pvt. Ltd. The cost- effective brokerage plans make Upstox a trustworthy and reliable online stockbroker. In January of 2012, they set out on a mission. How could simplify the trading and investing experience in India? How could increase investor participation in the capital markets? Then they realized that there were three important factors traders truly cared about. Pricing, customer support, and powerful trading software that was easy to use. Little did they know that within a few years, Upstox would be launched(2015). Over the past four and a half years, the company focused on the first two factors. Free equity delivery trading and a flat Rs. 20 order pricing model took care of the pricing component. With customer service, they continuously track two simple metrics. Calls must get answered within 30 seconds, and 10+ languages had to be supported. The third factor - trading software- was the difficult one to address. Many questioned their decision to not continue with company existing trading platform. After all, virtually all other brokers in India use it. Why re- invent the wheel, many asked to them? Re-inventing the wheel Page 7 of 22
  • 8. At the end of the day, They realize that a user's trading experience had to be enjoyable. It had to be mobile- first, ensuring that anybody with a smartphone could place trades. Users also had to be able to trade on the web, right on their favorite browser. They identify that they could provide their users the best trading experience in India right on their smartphones and browsers. At the same time, they also knew that it was time to begin thinking about rebranding the company. They would now become what they have always wanted to become: a product-first company. While other brokers focus on low pricing and keep the user experience as an afterthought, they would do the opposite: generate a great trading experience by emphasizing product and design while ensuring that pricing was kept low. They wanted to create a lasting brand that reflected what they passionately believed in: that any citizen of India, with the right investing and trading tools at their disposal, could build wealth by trading through the stock markets. With all this in mind, They are proud to announce that They have re-branded RKSV to Upstox. Upstox perfectly embodies everything they stand for. A powerful and easy to use trading app that will empower traders for years to come. At the same time, one of their primary goals has always been to make it easier for investors to build wealth through the stock markets. By buying and holding stocks for the long term, where the markets generally go up over time, investors can take control of their finances.

REASON BEHIND THE UPSTOX LOGO WHY THE ARC ? Page 14 of 22
  • 15. As a form, the arc is abstract. It captures upward movement in an intuitive way, without relying on narrow, literal concepts like graphs or charts. The arc slots neatly into place at the fore of the 'u', creating a custom letter form that is a modern take on the decade-old way of writing—on paper, in cursive. The new look is meant to be a reminder of Upstox’s tremendous growth over the last decade and the new phase in our journey - one that keeps going up! The word ‘UP’ also captures their story of growth far more instinctively. ‘UP’ is universal. One that everyone aligns with, and a story everyone wants to be a part of. ‘UP' integrates naturally with Upstox, At the most basic conceptual and linguistic level. Page 15 of 22
  • 16. Purple —The shade that represents the wisdom of age-old investing made modern. It also illustrated the creativity constantly embedded into their products, the wealth they wish to help their customers create and the undying ambition of Upstox to keep doing better. And, purple being a strong yet subtle colour, allows us to make room for our future endeavors. A future that revolves around you, leading the way UP! UPSTOX AND IT`S COMPETITORS ZERODHA BROKING LIMITED is considered as the prime competitor against the upstox private limited company .Upstox is known as the fastest growing discount broker and the zeroda is known as the biggest stock broker in India. Page 16 of 22
  • 17. Both Zerodha and Upstox are the most preferred discount brokers in India with zero delivery charges and a low flat charge of Rs. 20 for trading. We can trade large volumes while paying a nominal fee of Rs 20 per trade. From the upfront, Upstox and Zerodha are the same in terms of charges and benefits.

  • 18. UPSTOX REVENUE Upstox collected 80.7% of its income through brokerage and allied services fees charged from users on its platform. These collections grew by 104.05% to Rs 124.9 crore in FY20. Further, interest on bank deposits earned 14.5% of the total income while miscellaneous non-operating income accounted for the rest 4.8%. The growth was evident for the share trading platform floated by RKSV Securities but it sure came at a price. The Tiger Global-backed company increased its scale of operations 2.01X but its annual expenditure ballooned 3.11X to nearly Rs 187 crore during FY20. The costs incurred on employee benefits surged 2.5X to Rs 32.4 crore in FY20 from Rs 13.09 crore in FY19. Costs attributable to directors’ remuneration made up 25% of these expenses and grew 3.7X during the same period. During FY20, Upstox’s expenditure on advertisement and promotion had grown 6.6X to Rs 47 crore from only Rs 7.1 crore spent on the same during FY19. Upstox has also signed a two-year sponsorship deal with the Board of Control for Cricket In India to be an official partner of the Indian Premier League. The deal will reportedly cost the company Rs 45 crore per year. Upstox paid Rs 15.2 crore as sub brokerage expenses in FY20 which increased 2.5X from Rs 6.06 crore paid in FY19. Costs related to clearing fees and e-sign charges also jumped 3.3X to Rs 7.7 crore in FY20. Costs related to transaction processing surged by 68.7% to around Rs 28 crore while customer support expenses jumped 3.5X to Rs 25.2 crore during FY20. Page 18 of 22
  • 19. Upstox paid Rs 20.2 crore as legal and professional charges which ballooned 6.7X during the fiscal FY20. Rental and office costs of Rs 5.5 crore pushed the net cash flow from expenses to Rs -85.02 crore during FY20 from positive inflows of Rs 32.02 crore in FY19. Upstox had posted a post-tax profit of Rs 13.06 crore in FY19 but with an increase in costs, it slipped into losses of nearly Rs 38 crore during FY20. Its EBITDA margins have also depleted severely from 19.57% in FY19 to -24.35% in FY20. The financial performance of Upstox hasn’t been great in FY20 but still, it is healthy when we compare it with other growth-stage startups in the B2C space. It looks like the company had prioritised scale after raising funds from Tiger Global in FY20. Upstox was profitable in FY19, however, on the lines of FY20, the company is likely to post a loss in FY21 as online stock buying space has turned hyper-competitive with Zerodha, Paytm Money and Sequoia-backed Groww. While Upstox has continued to be the second top player in the stockbroking space until now, it’s likely to face an enormous threat from Paytm Money and Groww which is in talks to mop up over $100 million from Tiger Global and Ribbit Capital.
