India Market
What is a Market?
A market is described as a platform where buyers and sellers are allowed to trade, exchange goods, services, and information. These involvements of the goods and the parties to trade simplify the demand and supply concepts and are thus the fundamentals of an economy. Any type of trade can take place in a market. The two major dependant factors by which a market can operate are buyers and sellers. It is in an India market place that the physical meeting of the buyers and sellers take place such that they can trade. Nobody can deny the importance of physical India market places, but still there are virtual marketplaces mainly supported by IT networks such as the internet.
Some India markets are really very competitive with a large number of players (vendors) selling the same kind of products or services. On the other hand, few of the markets have very low or no competition at all (with a single player in the market). It depends on the number of buyers and sellers in the market that how much will be the price of the good or service that is sold in the market. This determines the law of demand and supply in the market.
In an India market place, where there is more number of sellers than the buyers, the supply is bound to bring down the prices. On the other hand, if there are more buyers than sellers in a market place, the reciprocative action would take place - demand pushing up prices.
Types of India Market
Free Markets Usually free markets are operational under the laissez-faire conditions where there is no government intervention. A free market may get distorted if there exists a monopolistic situation (seller controlling major portion of the supply) or a monopsonistic situation (a buyer having power on majority of the demand). In case of these distortions, the government or business bodies make an entry to ensure that the free markets operate smoothly.
Currency Markets Currency markets are among the largest traded markets in the globe, on a continual basis. Money flows are continuous around the globe - governments, banks, investors and consumers all of them are involved in buying and selling currency round the clock. That is the velocity of money is huge with so many constantly changing hands.
Stock Markets Stock markets seem to be the backbone of any economy and of late they have become the most complex structure allowing investors the scope of buying and selling shares in multitude companies. Majority of the Indian stock markets are operating on an electronic network, with a physical location being maintained for buyers separately. This is the place where the parties involved can interact with each other directly.
Types of Consumer India Markets

Later on these street markets went on to become consumer-oriented markets like the specialist markets, shopping centers, supermarkets.
