ICICI Prudential Life Insurance is one of the largest Insurance networks in the
country, and 2nd
Life Insurance Company in India. The ICICI Group has been in
existence since 1955 when ICICI Ltd., was created. ICICI Prudential started in 2002 as
subsidiary of ICICI Ltd., Today ICICI Life Insurance has a customer base of 4 million

company in the country, next only to LIC. The Insurance sector, after the opening up,
provides greater opportunities. Several global players have emerged and the market has
changed significantly. In the changed scenario, the expectation is that the low Insurance
premium as a percentage of GDP prevailing in India will improve and will offer better
opportunities to the insurance players.
Life Insurance sector is one of the key areas where enormous business potential
exists. In India currently the life insurance premium as a percentage of GDP is 1.3 per
cent against 5.2 per cent in the US, but in the liberalized scenario, the life insurance
premiums were projected to grow at around 18% to 20% from Rs 215 billion in 1998- 99
to Rs 592 billion in 2004-05 and to Rs 1450 billion by 2009-10. Corporate non-life
premium was projected to grow from Rs 84 billion in 1998-99 to Rs 386 billion in 2009-
10 and personal line non-life from Rs 4 billion to Rs 51 billion.
In the life Insurance segment the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is the
major player. The LIC has 2050 branches. It is constituted in to seven Zones. Currently
there are 5, 60,000 LIC agents in India. General Insurance is another segment, which has

INTRODUCTION
Life insurance is a form of insurance that pays monetary proceeds upon the death of the
insured covered in the policy. Essentially, a life insurance policy is a contract between the
named insured and the insurance company wherein the insurance company agrees to pay
an agreed upon sum of money to the insured's named beneficiary so long as the insured's
premiums are current.
With a large population and the untapped market area of this population insurance
happens to be a very big opportunity in India. Today it stands as a business growing at
the rate of 15-20% annually. Together with banking services, it adds about 7 percent to
the countries GDP. In spite of all this growth statistics of the penetration of the insurance
in the country is very poor. Nearly 80% of Indian populations are without life insurance
cover and the health insurance. This is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance
sector is immense in India.
It was due to this immense growth that the regulations were introduced in the insurance
sector and in continuation Malhotra Committee was constituted by the government in
1993 to examine the various aspects of the industry. The key element of the reform
process was participation of overseas insurance companies with 26% capital. Creating a
more competitive financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy was the
main idea behind this reform.

Since then the insurance industry has gone through many changes. The liberalization of
the industry the insurance industry has never looked back and today stand as one of the
most competitive and exploring industry in India. The entry of the private players and the
increased use of the new distribution are in the limelight today. The use of new
distribution techniques and the IT tools has increased the scope of the industry in the
longer run.
Insurance is the business of providing protection against financial aspects of risk, such as
those to property, life health and legal liability. It is one method of a greater concept
known as risk managementwhich is the need to mange uncertainty on account of
exposure to loss, injury, disadvantage or destruction.
Insurance is the method of spreading and transfer of risk. The fortunate many who are
exposed to some or similar risk shares loss of the unfortunate. Insurance does not protect
the assets but only compensates the economic or financial loss.
In insurance the insured makes payment called premiums to an insurer, and in return is
able to claim a payment from the insurer if the insured suffers a defined type of loss. This
relationship is usually drawn up in a formal legal contract.

Insurance companies also earn investment profits, because they have the use of the
premium money from the time they receive it until the time they need it to pay claims.
This money is called the float. When the investments of float are successful they may
earn large profits, even if the insurance company pays out in claims every penny received
as premiums. In fact, most insurance companies pay out more money than they receive in
premiums. The excess amount that they pay to policyholders is the cost of float. An
insurance company will profit if they invest the money at a greater return than their cost
of float.
An insurance contract or policy will set out in detail the exact circumstances under which
a benefit payment will be made and the amount of the premiums.
Classification of insurance
The insurance industry in India can broadly classified in two parts. They are.
1) Life insurance.
2) Non-life (general) insurance.
1) Life insurance:
Life insurance can be defined as life insurance provides a sum of money if the person
who is insured dies while the policy is in effect.
In 1818 British introduced to India, with the establishment of the oriental life insurance

company in Calcutta. The first Indian owned Life Insurance Company; the Bombay
mutual life assurance society was set up in 1870.the life insurance act, 1912 was the first
statuary measure to regulate the life insurance business in India. In 1983, the earlier
legislation was consolidated and amended by the insurance act, 1938, with
comprehensive provisions for detailed effective control over insurance. The union
government had opened the insurance sector for private participation in 1999, also
allowing the private companies to have foreign equity up to 26%. Following the opening
up of the insurance sector, 12 private sector companies have entered the life insurance
business.
Benefits of life insurance
Life insurance encourages saving and forces thrift.
It is superior to a traditional savings vehicle.
It helps to achieve the purpose of life assured.
It can be enchased and facilitates quick borrowing.
It provides valuable tax relief.
Thus insurance is found to be very useful in the lives of the person both in short term and
long term.

Fundamental principles of life insurance contract;
1) Principle of almost good faith:
A positive duty to voluntary disclose, accurately and fully, all facts, material to the risk
being proposed whether requested ornot.
2) Principle of insurable interest:
Relationships with the subject matter (a person) which is recognized in law and gives
legal right to insure that person.
2) Non-life (general) Insurance:
Triton insurance co. ltd was the first general insurance company to be established in India
in 1850, whose shares were mainly held by the British. The first general insurance
company to be set up by an Indian was Indian mercantile insurance co. Ltd., which was
stabilized in 1907 . there emerged many a player on the Indian scene thereafter.
The general insurance business was nationalized after the promulgation of General
Insurance Corporation (GIC) OF India undertook the post-nationalization general
insurance business.

THE CONSUMER ADOPTION PROCESS
The consumer adoption process is the process by which customers learn about new
products, try them, and adopt or reject them. Today many marketers are targeting heavy
users and early adopters of new products recognizing that specific media can reach both
groups and tend to be opinion leaders. The consumer adoption process is influenced by
many factors beyond the marketers control, including consumers and organizations
willingness to try new products, personal influences and the characteristics of the new
products or innovations

STAGES OF ADOPTION PROCESS
An innovation refers to any good, service, or idea. That is perceived by someone as new.
The idea may have long history, but it is an innovation to the person who sees it as new.
Innovation takes time to spread through the special system. The consumer adoption
process focuses on the mental process through which an individual passes from first
hearing about an innovation to final adoption. Adopters of new products have moved
through the following five stages.
1. AWARENESS: The consumer becomes aware of the innovation but lacks
information about it.
2. INTEREST: The consumer is stimulated to see the information about the
innovation.
3. EVALUATION: The Consumer considers whether to try the innovation or not.
4. TRIAL: The consumer tries the innovation to improve his estimate of its value.
5. ADOPTION: The consumer decides to make full and regular use of the
innovation.

1. INDUSTRY PROFILE
1.1 Insurance in India
The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive
market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the
developments in the Indian insurance sector reveals the 360 degree turn witnessed over a
period of almost two centuries.
1.2 A Brief history of the Insurance Sector
The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year
1818 with the establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta.
Some of the important milestones in the life insurance in India are;
1912: The Indian Life Assurance
For over 50 years, life insurance in India was defined and driven by only one company-
the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). With the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority (IRDA) Bill 1999 paving the way for entry of private companies
into both life and general sectors there was bound to be new-found excitement- and new
success stories. Today, just three years since their entry, their cumulative share has
-
7/27/2019 ankitdutt-130521000729-phpapp01
24/103
-24-
crossed 13% (source: IRDA), far exceeding expectations. Clearly insurance is on a
growth path.
The percentage of premium income to GDP which was just 2.3% in 2000-01 rose to 3.3%
in 2002-03; and life insurance has emerged as the dominant contributor to this growth.
The industry presented a huge opportunity. Life insurance penetration, for instance, was
at an abysmal 22% of the insurable population. However, private players have had to rise
to many challenges. They were faced with attitudinal barriers towards the category and
the perception that insurance was only a tax saving tool. Insurance per se had lost it basic
rationale: protection. It wasnt surprising then that its potential lay frozen and unexploited.
The challenge for private insurance players was to change the established category driver
and get customers to evaluate life insurance as an investment-cum-protection tool.

1.3 Brief Review of ScenarioInsurance
Insurance in India started without any Regulation in Nineteenth century.
It was story of a typical colonial era. A few British companies dominated
the market mostly in large urban centers.
Insurance was nationalized mainly on 3 counts First, Indian lives were not insured.
Second, even if they were insured, they were treated as substandard lives and extra
premium was charged. Third, there were gross irregularities in the functioning of Life
insurance was nationalized in the year 1956, and then general insurance was

2001 ICICI Prudential Life Insurance came into the market to sell a policy.
2002 Banks were allowed to sell insurance plans, as TPAs enter the scene,
insurers start settling non-life claims in the cashless mode.
1.4 The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA):
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 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 of insurance 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.

With the demographic changes and changing life styles, the demand for insurance cover
has also evolved taking into consideration the needs of prospective policyholder for
packaged products. There have been innovations in the types of products developed by the
insurers, which are relevant to the people of different age groups, and suit their
requirements. Continued innovations in product development has resulted in a wide range
of flexible products to meet the requirements for cover at different stages of life -today a
variety of products are available ranging from traditional to Unit linked providing
protection towards child, endowment, capital guarantee, pension and group solutions. A
number of new products have been introduced in the life segment with guaranteed additions,
which were subsequently withdrawn/toned down; single premium mode has been
popularized; unit linked products; and add-on/riders including accidental death;
dismemberment, critical illness, fixed term assurance risk cover, group hospital and
surgical treatment, hospital cash benefits, etc. Comprehensive packaged products have
been popularized with features of endowment, money back, whole life, single premium,
regular premium, rebate in premium for higher sum assured, premium mode rebate, etc.,
together with riders to the base products.

certificate of Registration by the IRDA on November 24, 2000 and eighteen days later,
issued its first policy on December 12. ICICI Prudential was amongst the first private
sector insurance companies to begin operations in December 2000 after receiving
approval from Insurance Regulatory Development Authority (IRDA).
From its early days, ICICI Prudential seemed to have the wherewithal for a large-scale
business. By March 31, 2002, a little over a year since its launch, the company had issued
100,000 policies translating into premium income of approximately Rs. 1,200 million on
a sum assured of over Rs.23 billion. When the company began its operations, the need
was to build a brand that was relatable to, symbolized trust and was easily recognized and
understood. It launched a corporate campaign ICICI Prudential also made using the
theme of Sindoor to epitomize protection, trust, togetherness and all that is Indian;
endearing itself to the masses. The success of the campaign, the calling card of the
company saw the brand awareness scores almost at par with its 40 year old competitor.
The theme of protection was also extended to subsequent product and category specific
campaignsfrom child plans to retirement solutions which highlight how the company
will be with its customers at every step of life.
From day one, the company has unflinchingly focused on being mass-market player,
developing products, creating a distribution network and deploying resources that would
further its goal. Apart from ramping up thoroughly training its advisors, the company has
twelve Bancasurance partners the largest in the country. It swiftly revised and added to
its initial range of products, pioneering market-linked products and pension plans, to offer

customers the most flexible life insurance policies in the country. In February 2004,
ICICI Prudential increased its capital base by Rs. 500 million, its ninth capital hike,
bringing the total paidup equity capital to Rs. 6,750 million. With the authorized capital
of the company standing at Rs. 12 billion, ICICI Prudential continues to have the highest
capital base amongst all life insurers in the country. The challenge ICICI Prudential now
faces is to retain its top-notch position and continue to deliver the finest life insurance
and pension solutions to its ever-growing customer base.
ICICI Prudentials equity base stands at Rs. 1185 crore with ICICI Bank and Prudential
plc holding 74% and 26% stake respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2006, the
company garnered Rs.2, 412 crore of weighted new business premium and wrote 837,963
policies. The sum assured in force stands at Rs.45, 888 crore. The company has a
network of over 72,000 advisors; as well as 9 bancasurance partners and over 200
corporate agent and broker tie-ups.
ICICI Prudential is also the only private life insurer in India to receive a National Insurer
Financial Strength rating of AAA (Ind) from Fitch ratings. The AAA rating is the highest
credit rating, and is a clear assurance of ICICI Prudentials ability to meet its obligations
to customers at the time of maturity or claims.

choice. This has been the driving force behind its multi-channel distribution strategy,

Prudential was the first life insurer to invest in multiple channels and offer the customer
choice and access; thus reducing dependency on any one channel, great strides in the
retirement solutions and pensions market.
The Companys penetration of the retirement market was driven by the focused approach
towards creating awareness through sustained campaign; Retire from work, not life.

Promotion
ICICI Prudential is a case study in how advertising and marketing can play a vital role in
re-shaping an industry. It has demonstrated how an industry where the customer was
nothing more than a policy number has changed to one where customer preference rules
the roost.
Brand-building in a complex category like life insurance is an uphill and multi-faceted
task. At the time of launching operations, the communications task was to build
credibility, so as to give the customer the confidence that it was a company that could be
trusted to invest funds with. The aim was to encourage people to view insurance not as a
compulsory tax saving instrument, but as a means to lead a worry-free, secure life and in
the process, create the differentiator for brand ICICI Prudential.
The brand proposition for all the campaigns was reflected in the line: Suraksha: Zindagi
ke har kadam par. The campaign featured a significant competitive advantage, the sound
financial backing and credentials of ICICI Prudential, and showcased products from
different segments. The advertising idea was encapsulated in the symbol of protection
the Sindoor. This campaign contributed extensively to raising brand awareness and
creating a distinctive identity for the company.

Bancassurance
One of the most significant advances in the financial services sector over the past couple
of years has been the growth of Bancassurance which, in simplest terms, means the
distribution of insurance products through a banks distribution channels. In other words,
Bancassurance is a service which can fulfill both banking and insurance needs at the
same time.
Banc assurance as a concept first began in India with the opening up of the insurance
industry to private sector participation in December 1999 which saw the entry of 20 new
players - with 12 in the life insurance sector and 8 in the non-life sector. Bancassurance
has also seen significant rise in other Asian markets. For example, Bancassurance
accounted for 24% of new life insurance sales by weighted premium income in
Singapore in 2002. This is a significant increase on the equivalent 2001 statistic of 15%
and is as a result of growth in significant bank-centric Banc assurance operations.

Although the concept of Bancassurance looks simple enough, it is far from that in real
life practice. Legislative differences, consumer behavior, impact of history and culture,
product complexity, employee work culture and many such other factors have contributed
to significant differences in results across countries. For example, in France and Spain 60%
to 80% of life insurance products are sold through bank branches compared to 10% in
UK and USA.Bancassurance Models
Globally we have 4 kinds of Bancassurance business models:
Distribution alliance between the insurance company and the bank
JV between the two
Merger between bank and insurer
Bank builds or buys own insurance products
Most of the Bancassurance operations in India fall into the first model, which in a way is
quite a prudent decision. The Indian Bancassurance scene as of now looks as promising
as perilous, being a vast, unexplored and uncharted expanse. As banks are quite risk
averse, it is but natural for them to withhold from making any long term commitment,
which would be quite costly if the Bancassurance business runs into trouble. In terms of
the present regulatory framework, one bank can tie-up with only one life and one non-life
insurer, while insurers have the choice to tie-up with any number of banks. We also have

CONCLUSIONS
Unit linked policies are a very valuable addition to the existing array of insurance
producers. But, when sold to a wrong prospect they loose their importance. The
companies should take proper care that well trained and professional agents market these
product.
In view of what was discussed above, I have made certain conclusions regarding the
buyers behavior and how a company should approach its prospect buyer.
The life insurance provides a range of wealth management services to its clients, but
it is not making proper efforts in advertising the Policy features and benefits to the
prospects.
As a part of my summer training project I was required to do an analytical study of
different responses by the people of different Age groups, Income groups and
Occupational classes. On the basis data collected I have drawn the following
conclusions:
Related to Age groups:
i. The dominant age group is the group 29-38. Though the Age group 39-48 also
has the same number of policyholders but if we see the number of people having
more than 4 policies we will say that people belonging to this age group have
more policies. I mean that the people belonging to this age group are more likely
to buy insurance.

iii. As the income group changes, the awareness level of people about insurance
increases. There is an upward trend in this.
iv. People use to take insurance as investment with the change in income group.
v. It means people belonging to high income group have more interest in ULIP.
Related to Occupation:
i. Private and self-employed persons have higher number of policies. The
persons who have private jobs have more income comparing to government
employees. If somehow we could know the type of policy a person already have
and then offering him some product which he do not have.
ii. People having government jobs are more aware of Insurance terms and
conditions. It shows the nature of buyer as government service people have
limited and fixed income so they plan their investment more analytically. So they
follow Central route to persuasion.
iii. AS MOST OF THE PERSONS BELONGING TO PRIVATE ARE 19-28AGE GROUP, SO WE CAN ALSO SAY THAT WE SHOULD OFFER
ULIP PRODUCTS TO THEM.
iv. The persons belonging to Government job category take policies primarily
from LIC. The trend shows that private and self-employed people are more likely
to buy from Private companies.
After working on this project I got a clear picture of the life insurance industry. Apart
from this I got to know about ICICI Prudential. very closely. The market share is around
1.1% and they have a target of 3% in the coming year.

With the fact that the Indian economy zooming ahead at a breath-taking GDP growth
rate of 8%, and expected to assume the primary dominance in the global economy
along with China by 2025, according to a Goldman Sachs forecast. Considering this
tremendous potential stuffed in the Indian economy, and coupled with the fact that
just 20% of the total Indian population is insured, which basically amounts to just
about 220 million Indians (assuming the Indian population is 1.1 billion at present).
Therefore there is a huge scope for growth in the insurance business in India.
With the purchasing power of the Indians masses shooting upwards, there is
nothing but a clear yes to the question of whether the insurance biggies can make
it a time worthwhile in the Indian sub-continent.
From my entire findings I found out that people are not completely aware about ICICI
Prudential. As it is primarily a new company so people dont have much faith in this
company. The company should try to reach the untapped rural market and semi-urban
for higher growth. We also know that LIC is no longer the only choice for thecustomers but due to its brand equity it is still doing its business. A lot of value added
services is needed to be provided to have a growth.

Improve customer services.
In order to take the advantage of being industry leader in private sector, ICICI
Prudential has to improve its customer services. According to my experience in
the company, a good number of customers forget to pay their premium at time so
it causes a big loss to the company. ICICI Prudential has already collaborated
with the ICICI bank for its Bancassurance facility and then can include another
feature in it. ICICI bank can offer a bank account with the life insurance policy in
which an ATM card will be provided. This card will have all the information
regarding the policy as like future premium payment dates, payment made, money
value of the policy at that date, value of the unit linked plan and all other
information what the customer want. This will help the customer to pay premium
on time and save their losses. This will be mutually helpful for both sister
companies, ICICI bank will get new account and ICICI prudential will be able to
more efficient services to their customers.
