The Hindu Business Line : Learn to invest in equity markets, students told

Hyderabad, Sept. 23 Students pursuing commerce and management education should familiarise themselves with share markets by making small investments, Mr A A George, Deputy General Manager (Finance), Nagarjuna Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd, said. Addressing students at the launch of Business Line Club at College of Commerce and Business Management, Osmania University here on Friday, Mr George said involvement was an ideal way to understand equity market.

“You can start by buying five to ten shares. Make your own judgment and try to fathom market behaviour.” To be successful in the corporate world, one should continue to learn even after completion of formal education. “A true professional should be willing to learn always as corporate world is full of challenges.” .

In the current era of globalisation, it was necessary to be aware of happenings in the corporate world. “Many Indian companies are on an acquisition spree in the country and abroad. Recently, there was a rumour that another firm was acquiring our company. Our management, however, denied this. This is just an indication of ripe business atmosphere in the country.”

Explaining the concept of corporate financing, Mr George said foolproof project preparation would go a long way in securing term loans from banks. “If you are planning to seek a term loan for any project, you should prepare a foolproof project reports with projections of income statement,” he said. “Further, monitoring working capital cycle is very important to analyse financial health of a company.”

Prof P Puroshotham Rao, Head Department of Commerce, Osmania University, said the department would be hosting the all- India Commerce Conference in December. The Prime Minister was likely to inaugurate the meet, he added. “The department of commerce has completed Diamond Jubilee. We are taking many initiatives to streamline curriculum of commerce education in line with the industry requirement.”
