    OVERVIEW OF THE MARKET

    India with about 200 million middle class household, present as a huge

    untapped potential for player in the insurance industry, saturation of

    markets in many developed economies has made the Indian market even

    more attractive for global insurance majors. D Data reflects the low

    percentage and per capita penetration of insurance in India compared to

    other developed and developing country too.

    With the per capita income in India expected to grow at over 6% for the

    next 10 years and with improvement in awareness levels, the demand for

    insurance is expected to grow at an attractive rate in India. An

    independent consulting company, The Monitor Group has estimated that

    the life insurance and market will grow from Rs.218 billion in 1998 to Rs.

    1003 billion by 2008(a compound annual growth of 16.5% )

    10/94

    12

    The Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the United India

    Insurance Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company.

    Insurance Sector Reforms:-

    In 1993 Malhotra committee, headed by former finance secretary and RBI

    Governor R.N.Malhotra, was formed to evaluate the Indian insuranceindustry and recommend its future direction.

    The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of complementing

    the reforms initiated in the financial sector.

    The reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive

    financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in

    mind the structural changes currently underway and recognizing that

    insurance is an important part of the overall financial system where it was

    necessary to address the need for similar reforms

    In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the key

    recommendations included:

    i) Structure

    Government stake in the insurance companies to be brought

    down to 50%.

    Government should take over the holding of GIC and its

    subsidiaries so that these subsidiaries can act as independent

    corporations.

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    11/94

    13

    All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to

    operate.

    ii) Competition

    Private companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs. 1bn

    should be allowed to enter the industry.

    No company should deal in both life and general insurance

    though a single entity.

    Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in

    collaboration with the domestic companies.

    Postal Life Insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural

    market.

    Only one State Level Life Insurance Company should be allowedto operate in each state.

    iii) Regulatory Body

    The Insurance Act should be changed.

    An Insurance Regulatory body should be set up.

    Controller of Insurance (Currently a part from the FinanceMinistry) should be made independent.

    iv) Investments

    Mandatory Investments of LIC Life Fund in government

    securities to be reduced from 75% to 50%.

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    12/94

    14

    GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5% in any

    company (There current holdings to be brought down to this level

    over a period of time)

    V) Customer Service

    LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days.

    Insurance companies must be encouraged to set up unit linked

    pension plans.

    Computerization of operations and updating of technology to be

    carried out in the insurance industry The committee emphasized

    that in order to improve the customer services and increase the

    coverage of the insurance industry should be opened up to

    competition. But at the same time, the committee felt the need to

    exercise caution as any failure on the part of new players could

    run the public confidence in the industry. Hence, it was decided

    to allow competition in a limited way by stipulating the minimum

    capital requirement of Rs. 100 corers. The committee felt the

    need to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in

    order to improve their performance and enable them to act as

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    13/94

    independent companies with economic motives. For this purpose,

    it had proposed setting up independent regulatory body.

    15

    The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority

    Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the

    IRDA Bill in Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its

    incorporation as a statutory body in April 2000 has fastidiously stuck to

    its schedule of framing regulations and registering the private sector

    insurance companies.

    The other decisions taken simultaneously to provide the supporting

    systems to the insurance sector and in insurance sector and in particular

    the life insurance companies were the launch of the IRDAs online service

    for issue and renewal of licenses to agents.

    The approval of institutions for imparting training to agents has also

    ensured that the insurance companies would have a trained workforce ofinsurance agents in place to sell their products, which are expected to be

    introduced by early next year.

    Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a

    framework of globally compatible regulations. In the private sector 12 life

    insurance and 6 general insurance companies have been registered.

    ICICI Pru Tops Premium Income Chart

    Business Standard: April 15, 2004

    Mumbai: ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company has topped the

    premium income chart among private insurance players for the third year

    in row. It logged a premium income of Rs. 989 crore in the financial year

    2003-04.This reflects a 135 percent growth over last years (2002-03) income of

    Rs.420 crore. New business income rose by 106 percent to Rs.751 crore

    and despite a 15 percent lapse rate in policy renewals, the company

    renewal premium increased by 325 percent to Rs. 238 crore.

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    42/94

    At present ICICI Prudential Life Insurance has around a 40 percent share

    among the private insurance industry in retail sales. The total sum assured

    since its inception has risen to Rs.16, 000 crore added in fiscal 2004.

    ICICI Prudential Life chief executive officer and managing director

    Shikha Sharma said that over 80 percent of the 4.36 lakh policies sold

    were unit linked plans, with pension plans accounting for just 28 percent

    of new businesses.

    We intend to come out with more pension and annuity products in the

    current fiscal (2004-05) as we find this as an undeveloped market, saidShikha Sharma.

    49

    Not enough products exist in the market today as the industry continues to

    await tax reforms. Today policyholders can get total tax exemption up to

    Rs. 10,000 under section 10 CCC of the Income Tax Act.

    As such, without tax reforms it is not conducive for customers to invest

    more under pension plans. On the group side, ICICI Prudential has notbeen as active as it has been a late entrant.

    We started targeting group insurance this year (2003-04) and have been

    able to tap around 100 clients. The premium has been minuscule as the

    sales cycle is long and varies between six-nine months to close a

    truncation, said Shikha Sharma.

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    43/94

    Moreover, with the rate war rampant in group term, ICICI Prudential has

    been choosy on the business it underwriters.

    Group term is a commodity, and as business is purely rate-driven, this is

    not our focus area, she added.

    Best Life Insurance Award

    Outlook Money :March 15, 2004

    Winner: ICICI Prudential

    In the short span since the insurance sector was opened up, ICICI

    Prudential Life Insurance has literally directed the markets evolution.

    Catering to all age and income segments, the company started out with

    the traditional insurance policies that were easy to understand. The idea

    was to entice customers used to LICs style of functioning.

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    44/94

    Soon, ICICI Prudential began exploring new areas. It introduced modern

    products, like the market-linked product where returns are linked to the

    market performance of the underlying assets.

    ICICI Prudential leads in virtually all parameters: size of agent force,

    number of policy sold, total sum assured, premium income and

    productivity of agents. It has set exacting standards for its range of

    products, riders offered, quality of information in promotional material

    and even in the insurance awareness events organized.

    What has been in favor of ICICI Prudential is its range of products ineach segment of life insurance-traditional, unit-linked and single-premium

    options, be they for retirement plans or child plans. With such a

    comprehensive bouquet, it caters to all financial goals of the customer.

    51

    ICICI Prudential also has a strong sales network and tie-ups with banks to

    offer bank assurance products. Its supplementary marketing channels

    contribute close to 30 percent of its premium income. The company is

    now reaching out to new and untapped markets. ICICI Prudential works

    closely with NGOs and micro-finance institutions to spread awarenessabout the concept of insurance in rural areas. This helps meet the social

    obligation mandated by IRDA, but the company has gone a step ahead by

    actively involving the villagers and working closely with them.

    The gap between ICICI Prudential and the second in-line private insurer

    is vast. In fact, this hiatus has led some analysts to wonder if the company

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    45/94

    isnt a trifle too aggressive. But others say this has more to do with the

    companys customer-centric focus, its pan-India presence and superior

    risk management and investment strategies. ICICI Prudential is not,

    however, resting on its laurels. The company will continue to innovate

    and set the standards.

    events, such as the marriage of the children, the premature death ofthe main income provider or maintaining a regular income in theirretirement. If an individual is free from these worries he can perform

    better in his job, which helps the economy.

    Variety based positioning:-

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    73/94

    This type of positioning is based of varieties in products andservices rather than customer segments. It is a sensible strategy for

    those companies who have distinctive advantage or strengths inoffering certain products and services. In the insurance industry too,it is possible to achieve a unique position by focusing on certaincategory of product. One such example is Birla Sun Life Insurance,which has been placing particular focus on investment related

    products since its launch in India. Through it superior fundmanagement capabilities, the insurance company can deliver betterreturns on the investment linked products and there by carve of it

    self a leadership position in this segment.

    Need based positioning:-

    This type of positioning is based on the differing need of differentgroups of consumers. This can be done successfully if a company

    has unique strength to service a group of consumers needs betterthan others.The insurance need of customers vary significantly for different

    group of customers. The insurance needs of young family with smallchildren will be quite different from that of family in which theincome earner closes to retirement. However, in India most o0f thelife insurance companies have a wide variety of products tailored fordifferent customers need and there is no company focusing on a

    particular need.

    78

    Access based positioning:-

    Positioning of customers can also done by the way they areaccessible. That is different of customers may be accessible in

  • 7/29/2019 Awarenefss of Icici Life Insurance

    74/94

    different ways even through they may have similar needs. Access istypically a function of customer geography or customer scale.There is excellent opportunity in the insurance industry to employaccess used positioning by targeting the rural insurance sector. The

    rural market for life insurance is very different from the urbanmarket in terms of need, income levels and distribution, penetrationof media and so on. So far except for LIC, no other buyer has paidattention or focus on the rural sector.

    Choosing the the right strategy:-

    The right strategy choice is not matter of positioning choice a alone.It involves the very way a company organize its self to do business.It is the configuration of the entire value chain of the companythrough a different set of activities to deliver unique value toconsumers. The set of activates over all upstream and downstreamactivities, from the selection of the product mix, the way the productare priced, promoted , the type of distribution mechanism used, the

    way customer s are serviced and so on.Some life insurance companies focusing on rural market haveadopted innovative means distribution. Instead of appointing agentsas is done typically, they have used gramsevaks in different villageacross the country to promote life insurance and act as there salesarm. This enabled them to tape into there special knowledge of therelocal.

    based on there truer need and not just traditional money batch policy,

    which is not considered very appropriate for long term protection andsaving. However, there still some key new products yet to be introduce-e.g. health products.

    81

    Channels of Distribution:-

    Till two years back, the only mode of distribution of life insuranceproducts through agents. While agents continue to be the predominantdistribution channel, today a number of innovative alternative channel are

    being offered to consumers. Some of them are banc assurance, broker, the
