KHOJ 2007 : "India's only inter business school equity research competition"

About KHOJ
Welcome to Khoj, India's only inter business school equity research competition, which rewards you handsomely for your analytical skills in the equity markets. Since its inception, Khoj has been attracting extensive participation from business schools as well as acclaim from the industry. This event brings together the brightest minds from academia and the biggest names from the industry. Khoj also facilitates interaction between industry professionals, academicians and students in the area of Equity Research. This platform provides an opportunity for MBA students interested in equity research and security markets as a career option to display their potential to eminent professionals of 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 and with the interest of retail investors in the equity markets increasing all the time, the demand for professional research analysts and fund managers is increasing. This makes equity research an exciting career opportunity for Management graduates. Khoj recognizes these new emerging opportunities and provides an incentive to you to step into the arena of financial research. Hence, the presentations and the discussions would help you to learn the intricacies of valuations and thus provide you with a fine learning opportunity.

The Purpose
Khoj invites the top minds across Business Schools in India to submit an equity research report giving a long term outlook with a Buy / Sell recommendation on the stock. So you can prepare a report not only on a stock, on which you are bullish and see value, but also a stock which you feel bearish about and would recommend a sell.

The Process
The participants would be required to register for Khoj, after which a sector of their choice shall be allocated to them. The participants would then select a company within the criteria defined and prepare the research report. The papers received then would be sent to our judges for evaluation and the top scoring teams (along with a waitlist of teams) would be selected to move into the finals. These finalists would be required to make a presentation before a panel of judges as a part of the final round. The judges would be eminent personalities from the Investment Banking field, Mutual Fund industry, Equity Research firms, Business media and top Business schools.

Prizes
The winning teams would be awarded cash prizes as follows:
First prize : Rs.40000
Second prize : Rs.30000
