CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION

1.1 THE TOPIC: “IN WHICH AREA MORE FOCUS MARKETING OR OPERATION”

At HDFC Bank, I was assigned with the topic as “In Which Area more focus Marketing or Operation” for my project work. I joined the company as a Personal Banker. The selection of the topic was to know how the company generates business through them.

Personal Banker are those sources of a company who have their own relations and personal contacts among common public that they use to generate business through.

1.2 REASON FOR SELECTION OF THIS TOPIC:

The financial sector is one of the booming and increasing sectors in India. The Personal Banker are one of the most powerful, efficient and effective channel through which the company sales its various types of financial products and company takes operational work also. It is really difficult to convince customers and sell a single product and accomplish operational work. Whereas in my entire project work I found my interest in working in a team, dealing with customers and finally convincing them to buy a product.

1.3 IMPORTANCE TO THE COMPANY:

The ultimate purpose of giving me this topic was to know about the customer’s perceptions about the different products of the bank, and to know about operational process. how these products can attract them and how the company can generate maximum profit by convincing them through personal banker and to better understand customer requirement and to understand operational methodology.

1.4 LEARNING FROM THE STUDY:

The process of bank related transaction, bank related various terms, work environment of HDFC Bank. Different products and services provided by the bank. Customers’ perception about the different products. The brand image of the bank. What are the problems faced by customer on daily basis. How to communicate with the customers. Different techniques of dealing with the customers. How to convince and convert a customer into a real customer. and at the last how to better response to the customer problem.

The Scheme of Amalgamation envisages a share exchange ratio of one share of HDFC Bank for twenty nine shares of Centurion Bank of Punjab.

HDFC Bank was looking for an appropriate merger opportunity that would add scale, geography and experienced staff to its franchise. This opportunity arose and we thought it is an attractive route to supplement HDFC Bank’s organic growth. We believe that Centurion Bank of Punjab would be the right fit in terms of culture, strategic intent and approach to business.” Mr. Aditya Puri, Managing Director, HDFC Bank said, “These are exciting times for the Indian banking industry.

CHAPTER 6- CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

6.1 CONCLUSIONS:

HDFC Bank, the banking arm of HDFC is expected to go on stream. The bank already has good number of employees on board and is recruiting personal banker heavily to take the headcount to many more. It is on the brim of increasing its customers through its attractive schemes and offer.

The project opportunities provided was market segmentation and identifying prospective customers in potential geographical location and convincing them to attract more customers so that new business opportunities of the bank can be explored. Through this project, it could be concluded that people are not much aware about the various products of the bank and many of them not interested to open an account, to invest money at all. services was considered as unsought good which require hard core selling, but in changing trend in income and people becoming financially literate, the demand for banking sector is increasing day by day.

So, at last the conclusion is that there is tough competition ahead for the company from its major competitors in the banking sector. Last but not the least I would like to thank HDFC Bank for giving me an opportunity to work in the field of Marketing and Operation. I hope the company finds my analysis relevant.

6.2 SUGGESTIONS:

Finally some recommendations for the company are as fallows:-

To make people aware about the benefit of becoming a customer of HDFC Bank, following activities of advertisement should be done through

1. Print Media. 2. Hoarding & Banners.3. Stalls in Trade Fares 4. Distribution of leaflets containing details information.

Other facilities must be provide to the customer: The bank should provide life time valid ATM card to all its customers. Minimum balance for savings account should be reduced from Rs 10000 to Rs 1000, so

that people who are not financially strong enough can maintain their account properly. The company should provide a pass book to all its customers. Make people understand about the various benefits of its products.

Company should organize the program in the society, so that people will be aware about the company and different products of the bank.

Company should open more branches in different cities.

CHAPTER 7- LIMITATIONS
