Before investing in the share market, you should have basic knowledge of the share market and what happens in the share market.

Share market is also called stock market. The place where companies are listed and their shares are bought and sold is called stock exchange.

There are 2 stock exchanges in India. 1. NSE (National Stock Exchange) 2. BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange)

NSE (National Stock Exchange) which was established in 1992. BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) This is a very old stock exchange, it was established in 1875.

SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) is a government agency that regulates the stock market. SEBI regulates the entire Indian stock market.

When any company is started, it takes a lot of money. The directors of the company cannot invest this money, so they list the company on the stock exchange from where millions of shares are issued.

Companies are listed on the stock exchange from where their shares are bought and sold. But you cannot buy and sell shares directly from the stock exchange.

for this, you will need a broker. In earlier times there were offices of stockbrokers, you had to go there to open the account and you had to tell them in which stock to invest money and sell it.

But in today’s time, these brokers have also gone online and you will also find their offices offline such as Angel One, Zerodha, Groww, etc.

So you cannot buy and sell shares directly from the stock exchange, rather you have to take the help of a broker and you will have to open a Demat account through the broker.
