For the broking industry, we started with an initial database of over 1,800 broking firms that were contacted,
from which 464 responses were received. The list was further short listed based on the number of terminals and
the top 210 were selected for profiling. 394 responses, that provided more than 85% of the information sought
have been included for this analysis presented here as insights. All the data for the study was collected through
responses received directly from the broking firms. The insights have been arrived at through an analysis on
various parameters, pertinent to the equity broking industry, such as region, terminal, market, branches, sub
