ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

For any success, you require hard work and genuine efforts, but it is incomplete without innumerable blessings, support, and sincere guidance.

I especially thank my Guide and Mentor Dr. Sunil Joshi for all the support, motivation, and technical guidance he provided throughout the duration without which my aim would have been incomplete.

I am indeed grateful to all professors and staff from Bhonsla Military College, with whom I had the opportunity to interact. I am also thankful to Mrs. Kochargaonkar (principal) and Mr. Sawant (Coordinator YCMOU MBA) as without their cooperation and blessings, the work I had undertaken was not possible at all.

I thank to all staff of the DMS group who interacted with me and provided all the information necessary for the concluding work.

I am also very thankful to my family members and my friends who have been extremely supportive throughout this journey.

Financial markets are, by nature, extremely volatile and hence the risk factor is major concern for financial agents. As uncertainty about future goes down, volatility is expected to go down; however as mentioned earlier, the response/ reaction time becomes shorter, volatility is expected to increase. To reduce the risk, the concept of derivatives comes into picture. Last decade was one of the eventful decades in the Indian markets. In India, the emergence and growth of derivatives market is relatively a recent phenomenon. Since its inception in June 2000, derivatives market has exhibited exponential growth both in terms of volume and number of traded contracts.

On one side, just a few derivatives disaster stories were enough to bring entire business of derivatives under the limelight, make every one worry about unknown risk associated with derivatives, and elevate derivatives into mysterious ‘something’; while on the other side, there were people who started understanding the derivatives and used the derivatives for hedging and mitigating the risks while adding liquidity to the markets.

This study attempts to discuss the genesis of derivatives, trading by tracing its historical developments, types of traded derivatives products, regulation and policy developments, trend and growth, future prospects and challenges of derivative market in India. The study also covered the myths carried by the general investors as well as the traders.
