INTRODUCTION

Today insurance industry is growing fast. After coming the private players this

industry is becoming complex day to day and the competition is increasing very fast.

Insurance is basically a risk-sharing device. The losses to assets resulting

from natural climates (life, fire, flood, earthquake, accident etc) are meet-out of

common pool contributes by large number of persons who are exposed to similar risk.

This contribution of money is used to pay the losses suffered by the unfortunate few.

The basic principle is that the loss should occur as a result of a natural calamity or an

unexpected event beyond human control and insured person should not making gains

out of insurance.

Service Industries are today facing a huge competition and the marketing in

these industries is becoming very complex, so that this is extremely fruitful and

enjoyable for a company and also for a research fellow to study marketing of

insurance products

INSURANCE

1. Insurance is the method of the spreading and transfer to risk.

2. Loss of the unfortunate few a shared by the fortunate many who are exposed

to same or similar risk.

3. Loss of assets depriver the owner of the expected benefit.

4. Insurance is the content is a mechanism that helps to reduce the adverse

consequences due to loss of assets.

5. Insurance is assurance and protects the human life.

Why INSURANCE is so important

Assets are likely to be destroyed or made non-functional due to accidental

occurrences called perils. Assets can, therefore, be insured. A few examples or perils

are: fire, flood, breakdowns, lightning, and earthquake. Perils are the events. Risk is

the consequential losses or damage.

1. The possibility of damage to asses caused by any period is the risk that is

exposed to.

2. Risk means the possibility of loss or damage that may or may not happen.

3. It is because of the uncertainty about the risk that insurance become

important.

9


10/76

4. No uncertainty implies any insurance.

5. Insurance does not protect the asset but only compensates the financial

loss.

6. Basically insurance cover tangible asset but the concept can be extended to

intangible also.

7. The individual himself also needs financial security for the old age or man

his becoming permanently disabled when his income will stop.

The business of Life Insurance Company is to bring together persons who are

exposed to similar risks collect contribution (premium) for them or an equitable basis

and pay the losses (claim) to those who actually suffer.

ABOUT INSURANCE

The beginning of the insurance started to the city of London. It started with

the marine business. Marine traders, who used to gather at Lloyd, are a coffee house

in London, agreed to share losses to goods during transportation by ship. Marine

related losses include:-

Loss of ship by sinking due to bad whether in high seas.

Goods in transit by ship robbed by ship pirates.

Loss of over damage to the goods in transit by ship due to bad whether in high

seas.

The first insurance polity was issued in England in 1583.

THE GROWING YEARS OF LIFE INSURANCE

The 19th century saw huge developments in the field of insurance, with newer

products being devised to meet the growing needs of urbanization and

industrialization.

In 1835, the infamous New York fie drew peoples attention to the need to

provide for sudden and large losses. Two years later, Massachusetts became the first

state of require companies by law to maintain such reserves. The great Chicago fire of

1871 further emphasized how fires can cause huge losses in densely populated

modern cities. The practice of reinsurance, wherein the risks are spread among several

companies, was devised specifically for such situations.

In the 19th century many societies were founded to insure the life and health of

their members, while fraternal orders provided low-cost, members only insurance.

Even today, such fraternal orders continue to provide insurance coverage to

members as do most labor organizations. Many employers sponsor group insurancepolicies for their employees, providing not just life insurance, but sickness and

accident benefits and old-age pensions. Employees contribute a certain percentage of

the premium for these policies.

As a result the government decided nationalizes the life assurance business in India.

The Life Insurance Corporation of India was set up in 1956 to take over around 250

Life insurance companies. For years thereafter, insurance remained a monopoly of the

public sector. It was only after seven years of deliberation and debate after the R.N.

Malhotra committee report of 1944 became the sector was finally opened up of the

insurance sector to private players that the sector was finally opened up to private

players in 2001. In 2000 have extensive powers to oversee the insurance business and

regulate in a manner that will safeguard the interests of the insured.

CONCLUSION

Today insurance industry is a rapidly growing sector. After coming of the

private players this industry is becoming complex day to day and their competition

very fast.

After analyzing the responses of the people about main feature which

influence the insurance buying, the result shows that awareness level is increasing day

by day about the private insurance company. Till 1999 LIC have the monopoly in

insurance sector. But today is the era of private insurance companies, and the

awareness level and buying behavior is increasing day by day.

Major finding of the study show that protection is the prime preference along

with saving or tax benefits. At the same time people are more focused on their

childrens future planning In particular Bharti AXA Life Insurance have huge brand

awareness in the urban market due to Bharti Airtel presence in the market. But at the

same time company is struggling for its market share in rural market. In brief it can

be said that the people are getting confident to be the investor of Bharti AXA Life

Insurance products while they have heard about all the benefits of these plans.

SUGGESTIONS

There are a lot of possibilities in the market for Bharti AXA Life Insurance Products

due to their unique features. To get the benefit of this opportunity the company

should consider the following points.

1. The study shows that there is less awareness for the companys Plans in

market. So it is necessary for company to make aware to the people for

company. The company should go for advertisements at local level.

2. Awareness of customers is very low in India even educated persons are

unaware about various products of insurance company. Company should

advertise their plans on a large scale e.g. on T.V. channel, leading

newspapers etc.

3. Company should recruit new agents or consultants. It is necessary for

company to trend them in a well manner therefore they will gave good

results.

4. Company should make plans for promotion of company business it should

organize road shows seminars, exhibition or contests because these things

make a clear picture of companys plans.

49


50/76

5. Bharti AXA should open the branches and enhance its infrastructure so

that the people of that region can also be awarded about these plans.

6. Company should open customer service point in rural areas also.

7. Company should issue less premium plan.

Limitation of the Study

However I tried my best to have desired information from he information from the

respondents and to make the report fruitful but some limitations are bound to incur

which may affect the results or findings.

1. No Secondary Data:

As the subject of my project viz. consumers aptitude towards unit-linked

product was new so I was unable to have secondary data for the purpose of

my study.

2. Small sample size:

As sample size taken by me for purpose of survey was 50 respondents. So

the result may have some deviations from the facts because of small

sample size.

3. Limited area and time:

The study although carried out with the fullest possible effort and

devotion, the limitation of time, resources available may lead to an

element chance of some error.
