The Standard Chartered Group was formed in 1969 through a merger of two banks: The Standard Bank of British South Africa founded in 1863 and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, founded in 1853. Both companies were keen to capitalize on the huge expansion of trade and to earn the handsome profits to be made from financing the movement of goods from Europe to the East and to Africa. The Chartered Bank was founded by Scotsman James Wilson following the grant of a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in 1853, while The Standard Bank was founded in the Cape Province of South Africa in 1862 by another Scotsman John Paterson.

STRUCTURE OF STANDARD CHARTERED BANK: [pic] Figure no. 1 MARKET STANDING: Standard chartered purely deals in priority banking; its customers are those who have high income and deals with heavy transactions. So, people comes under this category are called High Net worth Individuals (HNI’s). Primary survey and data gave the information that only 14. 17% of the total population of Delhi and NCR comes under HNI’s.

For, calculating the market share of SCB in this area I took a sample size of above 100 people. [pic]Figure no. 2 Currently Market share of standard chartered in terms of Current Account is 11% only. Its leading competitors are HDFC, ICICI, HSBC and AXIS. Standard Chartered is India’s no. 1 multinational bank and if we compare the market share of other multinational banks with SCB, it’s reasonable. So, currently SCB has very less market share in terms of Current accounts. Person Interacted with: Mr.

Bhupesh Harjai (ASSISSTANT MANAGER, TRAINING DEPT. ) SOURCE OF DATA COLLECTION: PRIMARY DATA— The first hand data that is specifically collected for the study currently undertaken is called as the primary data. QUESTIONNAIRES: Through structured questionnaires filled from existing standard chartered customers.

SECONDARY DATA— Any data that have been gathered earlier for some purpose and is utilized afterwards for the same or for some other reason is called as the secondary data. INTERNAL SOURCE: ? ACCOUNTING RECORDS ? SALES FORCE REPORT ? EXPERTS OPINION EXTERNAL SOURCES: ? INDIA TODAY ? BUSINESS TODAY ? BUSINESS WEEK SWOT ANALYSIS: STRENGTHS: ?

Standard Chartered Bank Launches Women’s empowerment Initiative at CGI Asia.

This is the first initiative of its kind in the region.

4. Standard Chartered wins seven awards at the Banker Awards 2007 in London, a major recognition for the Bank’s achievements the year with the help of its new product development and innovations. Strong brand presence such that every high profile person wants or desires to have a relationship with the bank. ? Standard chartered bank is capable of developing new product, facilitating innovation or amending the existing product so that it is able to stand in front of the new market trends. ? We are very focused on the basics of banking: on liquidity, capital, risk management, operational control and costs. ? Continue to enhance transaction convenience by providing outstanding Internet and mobile capability, relationship rewards and integrated card offerings supported by convenient branch and ATM access. WEAKNESS: ? Lack of promotional measures especially in T. V.

advertising, which has the maximum impact on the public. ? The branches across the country are very limited and A. T. M machines are also very few. ? Awareness among the local people is also very less, despite these are not the target customers of the bank but still awareness of the presence is very important. ? The main focus of the multinational banks is the profits that are basically utilized in the home country rather the host country.

OPPORTUNITIES: Due to lack of competent strategies many of the competitors are distracted by problems or are with drawing to focus on their home markets. This can be beneficial for the Standard Chartered bank. ? Nearly 8o Percent of the banks operating income comes from Asian countries and Asian governments have responded quickly to stimulate their economies and ease liquidity pressures. These actions will take time to have an impact but in the long run it may prove to be among the biggest successful measures for the banks growth in the coming years. The Group’s strong franchise, built mainly through years of organic growth, has positioned it to take advantage of the next up turn in the global economy.

? The banks main strategy is to target the high profile persons and that is mainly in Asian countries, which are not hitted by the recession as other countries that are more developed and volatile so bank can assume, it be an opportunity. ? In this slowdown when other banks are firing only standard chartered bank is on hiring. This slowdown can be used as an opportunity by attracting the young, motivated and competent employees at much competitive rates as not before. Last but not the least Asian countries have responded very effectively and quickly against this downturn and its only possible due to high propensity to save over consume.

THREATS: – ? Standard Chartered is in the businesses of taking risk and the risks are by their nature uncertain and the management of risk relies on judgments and predictions about the future. ? The Group’s principal risks and uncertainties arise from slowing economic growth in the major countries in its footprint and the various uncertainties surrounding global financial markets in 2009. The Group operates in many countries and is affected by the prevailing economic conditions in each. ? Changes in government and regulatory policy a key uncertainty for the Group relates to the way in which governments and regulators will adjust their economic policies, to such fluctuations in the coming year.

? Interest rate risk arising from changes in yields curves; credit spreads and implied volatilities on interest rate options. ? Currency exchange rate risk arising from changes in exchange rates and implied volatilities on foreign exchange options. BEST PRACTISES/USP’S: Standard Chartered bank is the only bank that has 150 years history. ? Only standard Chartered bank among the MNC’s is the bank that is providing the facility of Islamic banking. ? It’s the only bank that is leading in Asia, Africa and Middle East. ? It has a tie up with Bajaj Allianz life insurance company that is prevailing for more then 60 years.

It was an excellent working environment during the process of our training. The training was very comprehensible and it was all due to our trainers way of training.

We enjoyed our training . It was very much fun as well as an experience of practical exposure towards the corporate world which I admire cnnot be gained anywhere else. ? Theoritical knowledge without practicality is of no use.

During the training I was intimated with the corporate world which was quite intricated. There I learnt the way of conducting yourself in an organization, how to induce a person, the code of conducts aperson has to follow and much more imperitive things which would be very helpful in the long run of my carrier. Nothing can be achieved without difficulties and the same happened with me. It was an intensive summer training, I came across some difficulties but that were just small hurdles, which I jumped upon it to reach my goal or target.

Some of those difficulties were: • The tenure for training was just 2 months, which was very inadequate. As a result, it was difficult for us to have the complete information regarding the banking products and services. • For market research no database was provided which restricted our target market to our natural market only. At the end I would personally like to admire that these 2 months were the best part of life from both professional as well as individual point of view and I would recommend the students if given an opportunity to be the part of the standard chartered bank never deny to it.
