Welcome to KHOJ 2008, the premier inter business school equity research competition in the country organized by S.P. Jain institute of Management & Research's SBU Finance Committee under the guidance of the faculty in Finance. With its inception six years ago, KHOJ has witnessed overwhelming response from management students of all the top Business schools as well as acclaim from industry. Khoj facilitates interaction between industry professionals, academicians and students in the area of Equity Research. It provides a platform for MBA students interested in equity research and security markets as a career option to display their potential to eminent professionals from the industry and gain new insights and ideas for further learning.

Equity Research is a highly regarded profession in the developed financial markets and is fast gaining acceptance among aspiring MBAs as an excellent career choice. With the equity markets on a roll, BSE Sensex touching 19,000 and with the interest of retail investors and FIIs in the equity markets increasing all the time, the demand for professional research analysts and fund managers is increasing. Khoj recognizes these new emerging opportunities and provides an incentive for you to step into the arena of equity research.

Through Khoj we aim to provide B -school students a platform to showcase their talent in equity research and get evaluated by eminent professionals from the industry. Khoj invites participants to submit an equity research report giving a recommendation on the stock, keeping a long-term perspective in mind. Hence, participants are free to choose a stock on which they are bullish or bearish. The participants are also awarded handsomely (Rs. 70,000/- worth of prizes to be won) for their research done.

Given the excitement in the Indian equity markets, we thought that an expert view on the future would be quite sought after. We have none other than the legendary investor Mr. Rakesh Jhunjunwala as the Key note speaker who would share his expert insights into where the market is headed.

We also have immense pleasure in having K R Choksey as our sole event sponsor. Mr. Deven Choksey has kindly consented to be the Chief Guest for the mega event.
