Equity trading is basically purchase or sale of a company's stake with the help of a stock exchange. There are two major stock exchanges in India- NSE (national stock exchange) And BSE (Bombay stock exchange). An equity trade is placed by the trader himself, a stock broker, or through a brokerage account.

​

One of the benefits of trading in the share market is that investors can become partial owners of a company. These shares, offered by companies in return for money, are called equities. In the Indian stock market, equities are available for trading at the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

An equity market, also known as the stock market, is a platform for trading in company shares. It is the place where buyers and sellers meet to trade in listed companies. Listed companies are those entities that have offered some part of their equity to public investors.
