Role overview

This position supports the research and investment functions by turning market and technical insights into clear, usable analysis. The objective is to help the team decide when to invest, prepare client-facing updates, and present information in line with the company’s marketing and communication standards.

Business context

The hiring company operates a large broking business across equity, commodity, and currency segments, with a workforce of about 800 people across roughly 40 locations and a client base of more than 3 lakh.

The business works in a tightly regulated environment and is monitored by multiple authorities and exchanges, including SEBI, RBI, AMFI, FMC, IRDA, NSE, BSE, NCDX, MCX, NSDL, and CDSL. It also competes in a crowded market against major national broking firms and local players.

• Prepare and submit IBT trade and volume confirmations to NSE and BSE in line with exchange compliance requirements.

Challenges in the role
