Every time the bulls start their
thunderous run, the stage is the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
This is far from surprising, as the BSE has one of the highest
per hour rates of trading in the world with approximately 70,000
deals taking place every day. Moreover, the market
capitalisation of the BSE is around Rs. 5 Trillion.
No wonder companies are lining up join the over 4500 already
listed on the BSE.
However, life after you list is suddenly different. There are
certain regulatory compliances you have to adhere to, especially
when it comes to public communication. Every thing you say or do
is under the scanner. In fact, your very heartbeat is linked to
the movement of the BSE Sensex. And to keep it beating regularly
and strongly, you need a strategic Investor Relations programme
in place.
A successful IR program should consist of proactive, two way
communication from the company to the investor universe and
should result in a fair market valuation for the company, a
reasonable level of liquidity of its shares, a strong group of
supporters, easier access to capital and favourable ratings.
In a nutshell, it means that an investor knows you, respects
your company, believes in your future and is willing to put his
money where his mouth is - with a little help from us.
