Bridging the gap
The derivatives market is the financial market for derivatives, financial instruments like futures contracts or options, which are derived from other forms of assets and hence they have been named derivatives.

One common application in the derivatives market, is to invest in index derivatives. Now, what does this mean? Index derivatives are financial instruments that derive their value from a market index. In India, this could mean the underlying asset is either based on the NSE NIFTY or the BSE SENSEX.

Meet Our Certified Menterns
It was amazing! I learnt so many things like creating engagement on social media platforms. The 1:1 with mentors were super helpful. I learnt how to create Instagram ads, identify goals & do competitor analysis- so many things.
There was a lot of interactive sessions with Mentors. The Menternship I completed gave me a new perspective to how work has to be done. I truly enjoyed working with real figures & actual industry case studies. 
My experience was great as I got a chance to explore subjects like Analytics which are difficult to look for. The Menternship allowed to get subject knowledge and see what goes behind the making and delivering of a product.
My experience was very useful as I learnt so much about Fleet Management & Digital Marketing connected to the real-world scenario. I learnt how to actually work with social media channels like IG & Facebook.
