THE TOPIC:
“IN WHICH AREA MORE FOCUS MARKETING OR OPERATION”
At HDFC Bank, I was assigned with the topic as “In Which Area more focus Marketing
or Operation” for my project work. I joined the company as a Personal Banker. The selection of
the topic was to know how the company generates business through them. Personal Banker are
those sources of a company who have their own relations and personal contacts among common
public that they use to generate business through.
The financial sector is one of the booming and increasing sectors in India. The Personal
Banker are one of the most powerful, efficient and effective channel through which the company
sales its various types of financial products and company takes operational work also. It is really
difficult to convince customers and sell a single product and accomplish operational work.
Whereas in my entire project work I found my interest in working in a team, dealing with
customers and finally convincing them to buy a product.
The ultimate purpose of giving me this topic was to know about the customer’s
perceptions about the different products of the bank, and to know about operational process. how
these products can attract them and how the company can generate maximum profit by
convincing them through personal banker and to better understand customer requirement and to
understand operational methodology.
The process of bank related transaction, bank related various terms, work environment of
HDFC Bank. Different products and services provided by the bank. Customers’ perception about
the different products. The brand image of the bank. What are the problems faced by customer
on daily basis. How to communicate with the customers. Different techniques of dealing with the
customers. How to convince and convert a customer into a real customer. and at the last how to
better response to the customer problem.

MERGER
HDFC Bank and Centurion Bank of Punjab merger at share swap ratio of 1:29 The
Boards of HDFC Bank and Centurion Bank of Punjab met on 25 February, 2008 and approved,
subject to due diligence, the share swap ratio for the proposed merger of Centurion Bank of
Punjab with HDFC Bank. The Scheme of Amalgamation envisages a share exchange ratio of one
share of HDFC Bank for twenty nine shares of Centurion Bank of Punjab. The combined entity
would have a nationwide network of 1,148 branches (the largest amongst private sector Banks) a
strong deposit base of around Rs. 1,200 billion and net advances of around Rs. 850billion. The
balance sheet size of the combined entity would be over Rs. 1,500 billion. Commenting on the
proposed merger, Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chairman, HDFC said, “We were amongst the first to get
a banking license, the first to do a merger in the private sector with Times Bank in 1999, and
now if this deal happens, it would be the largest merger in the private sector banking space in
India. HDFC Bank was looking for an appropriate merger opportunity that would add scale,
geography and experienced staff to its franchise. This opportunity arose and we thought it is an
attractive route to supplement HDFC Bank’s organic growth. We believe that Centurion Bank of
Punjab would be the right fit in terms of culture, strategic intent and approach to business.” Mr.
Aditya Puri, Managing Director, HDFC Bank said, “These are exciting times for the Indian
banking industry. The proposed merger will position the combined entity to significantly exploit
opportunities in a market globally recognized as one of the fastest growing. I’m particularly
bullish about the potential of business synergies and cultural fit between the two organizations.
The combined entity will be an even greater force in the market.” Mr. Rana Talwar, Chairman,
Centurion Bank of Punjab stated, “Over the last few years, Centurion Bank of Punjab has set
benchmarks for growth. The bank today has a large nationwide network, an extremely valuable
franchise, 7,500 talented employees, and strong leadership positions in the market place. I
believe that the merger with HDFC Bank will create a world class bank in quality and scale and
will set the stage to compete with banks both locally as well on a global level.”
Mr. Shailendra Bhandari, Managing Director and CEO, Centurion Bank of Punjab said,
“We are extremely pleased to receive the go ahead from our board to pursue this opportunity. A
merger between the banks provides significant synergies to the combined entity. The proposed
merger would further improve the franchise and customer proposition offered by the individual
banks.”

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF RESEARCH
PROJECT
PROBLEM DEFINATION:
Personal Banker were with good background human being and through rigorous process
of recruitment but still not able to perform up to the expectation level of company, HR is not able
to sort out the problem why the performance is not coming even after giving the full marketing
and operational support. The communication technique and dealing with the customers is also a
problem to the personal banker.

In which data on the situation surrounding the problems shall be gathered to arrive at.
The correct definition of the problem. An understanding of its environment.
EXPLORATORY STUDY:
RESEARCH DESIGN:
Research was initiated by examining the secondary data to gain insight into the problem.
By analyzing the secondary data, the study aim is to explore the short comings of the present
system and primary data will help to validate the analysis of secondary data besides on
unrevealing the areas which calls for improvement.
The data for this research project has been collected through self Administration. Due to
time limitation and other constraints direct personal interview method is used. A structured
questionnaire was framed as it is less time consuming, generates specific and to the point
information, easier to tabulate and interpret. Moreover respondents prefer to give direct answers.
In questionnaires open ended and closed ended, both the types of questions has been used.
COLLECTION OF DATA:
1: SECONDARY DATA:
It was collected from internal sources. The secondary data was collected on the basis of
organizational file, official records, news papers, magazines, management books, preserved
information in the company’s database and website of the company.
2: PRIMARY DATA:
All the people from different profession were personally visited and interviewed. They
were the main source of Primary data. The method of collection of primary data was direct
personal interview through a structured questionnaire.
SAMPLING PLAN:
Since it is not possible to study whole universe, it becomes necessary to take sample from
the universe to know about its characteristics.
SAMPLE SIZE:
My sample size for this project was 50 respondents. Since it was not possible to cover
the whole universe in the available time period, it was necessary for me to take a sample size of
50 respondents.
The mode of collection of data will be based on Survey Method and Field Activity.
Primary data collection will base on personal interview. I have prepared the questionnaire
according to the necessity of the data to be collected.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS:
It was not possible to understand thoroughly about the different marketing aspects of the
Financial Consultant within 60 days. As stipend, money was not given it was difficult to
continue the project work. All the work was limited in some limited areas of Gorakhpur so the
findings should not be generalized. The area of research was Gorakhpur and it was too vast an
area to cover within 60 days.
