This study explores the organizational structure and financial analysis of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd., with a practical application through two sectoral case studies: Vodafone Idea Ltd. (telecommunications) and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (automobile). The research focuses on understanding the internal functioning of Motilal Oswal’s advisory services, emphasizing the role of departmental coordination and communication in delivering efficient client solutions. The study uses both fundamental and technical analysis to evaluate the financial performance of the selected companies. Vodafone Idea Ltd. shows significant financial stress, with negative shareholder funds, high debt-to-equity ratio, and continuous net losses. Despite improved operating margins, the company’s liabilities outweigh assets, indicating potential insolvency risks. On the other hand, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. reflects strong financial health, marked by consistent sales growth, improved operating margins, and a solid asset base. Its lower debt levels and increasing reserves signal sound financial management and investor confidence. From a technical standpoint, Vodafone Idea shows short-term uptrend potential, while Mahindra & Mahindra displays bullish reversal patterns, supporting long-term investment prospects. The findings highlight the impact of internal organizational effectiveness on financial advisory services and portfolio strategy. For Motilal Oswal, maintaining a client-centric structure supported by strong interdepartmental communication enhances strategic agility. The internship offered valuable insights into real-world financial evaluation and organizational dynamics, contributing to practical understanding and career preparedness in financial services.

Following are the objectives of the study:
• To understand the organisation structure at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd
• To understand the working of the central advisory department
Importance of the Study
Understanding the organizational structure of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. is essential for gaining insights into how the company operates and makes strategic decisions. This study will help in understanding the internal dynamics and coordination between departments, which is critical for delivering effective advisory services. Additionally, analyzing the structure can reveal areas for improvement, contributing to better client service and operational efficiency. For an intern, this study enhances personal growth by providing a deeper understanding of corporate governance and the financial services industry's functioning Geels, (2012).
Scope of the Study
The scope of this study focuses on understanding the organizational framework of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd., including its hierarchy, departmental functions, and inter-departmental coordination. It will explore how different teams, such as research, operations, and client servicing, interact to achieve the company’s objectives. The study will also cover the reporting structures and decision-making processes within the organization Kumaraswamy et al. (2012).
The study will also consider how the structure supports the company’s overall efficiency and ability to adapt to changing market conditions. While the focus is on understanding internal organizational dynamics, the study will not delve into external factors like market competition or industry analysis.
By examining these elements, the study aims to provide insights into how the current structure supports the company’s growth, efficiency, and ability to respond to market dynamics. The scope is limited to internal organizational aspects without delving into external factors like market positioning or competitor analysis.
Period of the Study
The study was conducted for a brief period of 45 days ranging between 4th June,2024 to 19th July,2024.
An important area of focus for assessing effectiveness and customer satisfaction in financial institutions has been the study of organizational structures. Flatter structures improve agility, according to Kumar and Sharma's (2015) analysis of the effects of hierarchical coordination on strategic decision-making in Indian financial services. In a similar vein, Rao (2016) highlighted how departmental integration helps consulting firms maintain customer engagement Lall, (1980).
In the context of stock performance and fundamental analysis, Mehta and Bansal (2017) highlighted the relevance of key financial ratios such as P/E, ROE, and current ratio in predicting long-term stock performance in India’s telecom sector. Patel and Singh (2018) elaborated on this by performing sector-wise comparative ratio research, which demonstrated that debt-to-equity ratios are especially important in highly leveraged businesses like telecom.
The ramifications of diminishing promoter ownership were examined by Verma (2019), who claimed that a smaller stake frequently indicates low insider confidence, which has a detrimental effect on investor behavior. The findings of Raghavan and D'Souza (2020) that promoter behavior frequently comes before changes in market sentiment, especially during restructuring events or FPOs, are consistent with this Mytelka, (2000).
Nair (2021) used methods such as Fibonacci retracements and moving averages to examine the significance of technical analysis in stock advice responsibilities. According to his research, combining technical indicators offer superior entry and exit strategies when compared to separate instruments. In the meantime, Roy and Banerjee (2022) confirmed the predictive reliability of trend patterns like rounded bottoms and double tops in the Indian auto industry by testing their efficacy.
The contribution of internal organizational frameworks to advising effectiveness was discussed by Saxena and Thomas (2023). The advantages of effective interdepartmental communication in producing consistent customer outcomes were highlighted by their study on mid-sized financial advising businesses. Narayan et al. (2023) echoed these findings by linking internal structure to adaptability in volatile markets, particularly during periods of digital transition.
The post-pandemic strategy changes in Indian financial services were the subject of recent research like Menon and Joshi (2024). They underlined that in order to keep customers and maintain growth, digitization and agile decision-making procedures are increasingly essential. In order to match organizational goals with changing market needs, their work also emphasized the necessity of consistent personnel training and a strong feedback loop Pandey et al. (2013).
Finally, there has been ongoing interest in sectoral financial performance. Deshmukh and Pillai (2024) provided a comparative study between automobile and telecom companies in India, revealing that while large-cap automobile firms show strong asset utilization and positive EPS, telecom companies face financial instability due to high debt and low ROCE. These results validate the current study's interpretation of the balance sheet.
The study is based on secondary data that is collected from the company’s website as well as other prominent financial sites like moneycontrol, screener and trading view was used for technical analysis.The data analysis made is based on fundamental and technical analysis. The tools used for fundamental analysis include:
• Balance sheet analysis

• The operating profit margin of the company has increased in the last financial year. It is a positive point for the company
• Inspite of the positive operating profit made by the company, the net profit remains as a negative figure indicating a net loss of a very huge amount. This is due to two factors

The company has to focus on settling its debts to reduce its interest payments and to improve the profitability position.
Analysis and Interpretation of Key Ratios
• P/E Ratio: -4.0245
The company’s earnings are negative indicating a net loss.It may be due to poor financial performance , industry challenges or structural issues. However, a negative P/E ratio doesn’t necessarily mean that a company is a bad investment. The company maybe in its turnaround phase and earnings might be temporarily negative

• Current Ratio: 32

• Following are the reasons for the negative value in the total shareholders funds
• Accumulated losses: The company has reported net loss in a huge amount for the past 4 quarters
• High debt levels: The company is facing a significant debt burden and is losing out all its profts by making interest payments
• A negative shareholders fund situation is a red flag situation for both investors and lenders indicating a high level of financial risk and potential insolvency
Increase in Equity Shareholders Funds
