BFSI------Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (also known as BFSI) is an industry
name. This term is commonly used by IT/ITES/BPO companies to refer to the services they
offer to companies in these domains. Banking may include core banking, retail, private,
corporate, investment, cards and the like. Financial Services may include stock-broking,
payment gateways, mutual funds etc. Insurance covers both life and non-life. A lot of data
processing, application testing and software development activities are outsourced to
companies that specialise in this domain
The banking sector is the most dominant sector of the financial system in India, and with
good valuations and increasing profits, the sector has been among the top performers in the
markets.
India has the potential to process 30 per cent of the banking transactions in the US by the
year 2010. Outsourcing by the BFSI to India is expected to grow at an annual rate of 30-35
per cent.
With increasing competitive pressure, it is getting harder for BFSI enterprises to ‘win and
keep’ customers. The move to adopt CRM solutions and customer focused technology is
driven by the increasing need for maintaining and enhancing customer relationships.
The Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI in India is expected to grow from $1.6
billion in 2009 to $2.7 billion in 2013, growing at a CAGR of 14.2 per cent, according to
Springboard Research, a player in the IT market research industry.
Indian BFSI enterprises are benefiting from the 'green' consolidation of storage, server, and
data center-based applications. However, the primary reason of adoption continues to be
‘cost-benefit’ and not the ‘social cause’ attached to it.
The immediate projects from BFSI sector include those relating to mobile banking and
banks’ plan to integrate regional rural banks (RRBs) and branches.
The banking industry in North America has been hit hard by the sub-prime crisis, which has
resulted in huge losses thereby bringing the world’s largest economy on the verge of
recession.

(those that offer dramatic change in the way people live) attract small groups of early
adopters before going mass market, it is important to have a clear picture of who the
end-user customers will be as early as possible.
Having a clearly defined customer target enables more accurate matching of product
features and benefits to the target and improves the ability to estimate market
demand.

class people.
There are some product which are made to satisfy the need of rural people or
farmers,i.e.(AGRICULTURAL BANKING) such scheme provide funds or loan to
farmer to satisfies their need.
In order to select target customer bank requires to undergo surveys which include:
Buying habits which provide information about buying cycles, purchase points,
frequency of purchase, etc. This helps the planner to know the consumer
characteristics by category, brand and competitor; demographics-age, income,
education, occupation and motivation; special market segments like doctors,
architects, children, etc.
SBI also provides loan to student who are going for proffessional courses.
SBI! eLearning opens up a new segment in your target audience, those people who

SBI Key areas of operations
Comparative Analysis
Market Leader: SBI is ranked at 380 in 2008 Fortune Global 500 list, and
ranked 219 in 2008 Forbes Global 2000.
Wide Distribution Network: Excellent penetration in the country with
more than 10000 core branches and more than 5100 branches of associate
banks
Government Owned: Government owns 60% stake in SBI. This gives SBI
an edge over private banks in terms of customer security.
Low Transition Costs-SBI offers very low transition costs which attracts
small customers.
Modernisation: SBI lags with respect to private players in terms of
modernisation of its processes, infrastructure, centralisation, etc.
Delay in technology up gradation could result in loss of market shares.
Management indicated a likely pension shortfall on account of AS-15 to be
close to Rs50bn
Merger of associate banks with SBI: Merger of all the associate banks (like
SBH,SBM, etc) into SBI will create a mega bank which streamlines
operations and unlocks value.
Increasing trade and business relations and a large number of expatriate
populations offers a great opportunity to expand on foreign soil.
Private banks have started venturing into the rural and semi-urban sector,
which used to be the bastion of the State Bank and other PSU banks
4. Marketing Mix Strategy
The marketing mix is the combination of marketing activities that an
organisation engages in so as to best meet the needs of its targeted market.
Traditionally the marketing mix consisted of just 4 Ps.
The marketing mix thus consists of four main elements:
1. Product
2. Price
3. Place
4. Promotion.
Getting the mix of these elements right enables the organisation to meet its
marketing objectives and to satisfy the requirements of customers.
In addition to the traditional four Ps it is now customary to add some more
Ps to the mix to give us Seven Ps. The three extra Ps are:
5. Physical layout
6. people
7.Processes
The 7 Ps - price, product, place, promotion, physical presence, provision of
service, and processes comprise the modern marketing mix that is
particularly relevant in service industry, but is also relevant to any form of
business where meeting the needs of customers is given priority.
Marketing Mix of SBI
1.Product-SBI provide various product which satisfies the need of
customer.
Like-CASA(current and saving account),loan,Credit Card facility etc. The
Senior Citizen Services from SBI Bank has several advantages that are
tailored to bring more convenience and enjoyment in your life.
2.Price –Although competing on price is as old as mankind, the consumer is often
still sensitive for price discounts and special offers. Price has also an irrational side:
something that is expensive must be good. Permanently competing on price is for
many banks not a very sensible approach. Price or Charges for opening senior
citizen account are discounted.
3.Place – Location of SBI banks are at convinient place so people can
avail benefit easily.
Generally ATM services of SBI bank are available at all of its branches
making it easy for customer.Placement of all branches are well organised
with respect to city layout.
4.Promotion – Promotional activities of SBI is carried through
channel,Team members,E-marketing,Tele marketing,Pamplets display in
branches.
5.People-All people directly or indirectly involved in the consumption of a service are
an important part of the extended marketing mix. Knowledge Workers, Employees,
Management and other Consumers often add significant value to the total product or
service offering.People of Sbi branches are co-operative and ready to help.
6.Physical Layout – All the Sbi branches have different department s for query
resolution and even the name and designation of employee who solve the problem is
mention on his/her desk so it is so easy for a customer to recognize.Environment of Sbi
is very helpful.For customer comfort all branches have central AC.
7.Process - Procedure, mechanisms and flow of activities by which services are
consumed (customer management processes) are an essential element of the marketing
strategy,which is very well managed in all branches of SBI.

Marketing Strategy
Serving the majority of the country’s populace, state owned banks had a large branch
network, with minimal or no automation and little focus on service.
Foreign banks, on the other hand, deployed high-end technology, had innovative
product offerings, but had a very small branch network that serviced only corporate's
and individuals with high net-worth.
Sensing an untapped opportunity, that rivaled the foreign banks, on a much larger
scale, at a lower cost. A crucial aspect of this strategy was the emphasis on technology.
ICICI Bank positioned itself as technology-savvy customer friendly bank.
To support its technology focused strategy, ICICI Bank needed a robust technology
platform that would help it achieve its business goals. After an intense evaluation of
several global vendors, ICICI Bank identified Infosys as its technology partner and
selected Finacle, the universal banking solution from Infosys, as its core banking
platform. An open systems approach and low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) were
some of the key benefits Finacle offered the bank.
Marketing Strategy include:
Road Shows
Direct Marketing
Mass media inbound calls

Collateral: These guaranteed working capital loans are secured by export-related accounts
receivable and inventory (including work-in-process) tied to an export order. For letters of
credit issued under the guaranteed loan, we only require collateral for 25% of the value of the
letter of credit.
2.Export credit Insurance : Ex-Im Bank’s export credit insurance allows you to
increase your export sales by limiting your international risk, offering credit to your
international buyers, and enabling you to access working capital funds.
i)Small Business Export Credit Insurance Policy - The policy is a special product for
small, financially viable businesses that are new to exporting, or have only occasionally
exported. It can help increase an exporter's international sales by extending competitive credit
terms while minimizing risks, and is valuable as a:
Eligible products must have at least 51% U.S. content, including labor but excluding
mark-up. Eligible services must be performed by US-based personnel.
The policy insures all shipments on credit terms (including documentary credits,
unconfirmed letters of credit and open account) to all eligible countries during the
policy period, generally one year. The policy may be renewed annually.
Credit terms up to 180 days; exceptionally up to 360 days for qualifying transactions
(such as capital equipment and bulk, unprocessed agricultural commodities).
Excluded from coverage are confirmed letters of credit, cash-in-advance sales, and
certain military and defense-related items.
Special incentives are offered for small business exporters of specified
environmentally related products and services.
ii)Foreign Dealer Insurance policy
Foreign dealerships are a strategic distribution channel for U.S.-manufactured machinery,
equipment and spare parts. The Foreign Dealer Insurance Policy is designed to provide
flexible, competitive support for financing the capital goods exports of small, medium and
large U.S. manufacturers through foreign dealerships.
The unique feature of this insurance policy is its ability to cover "floor plan/rollover"
financing. This form of financing combines short-term financing of inventory acquired for
resale with the option to rollover (i.e., to refinance) that financing for a longer term in order
to better match the dealer's financing requirements. The Foreign Dealer Insurance Policy is
currently available to financial institutions; a supplier credit version for exporters is planned
for a later date.
3.Loan Guaranteee - Ex-Im Bank assists exporters by guaranteeing term financing to
creditworthy international buyers, both private and public sector, for purchases of U.S. goods
and services. With Ex-Im Bank’s loan guarantee, international buyers are able to obtain
competitive term financing from lenders when financing is otherwise not available or there
are no economically viable interest rates on terms over one-to-two years.
i) Project and Structure Finance
Ex-Im Bank offers a range of financing solutions for U.S. exporters and their international
customers. Limited recourse (project) and structured financing are two options that offer
maximum flexibility for project sponsors and help U.S. exporters compete globally in natural
resource and infrastructure sectors.
Ex-Im Bank can consider limited recourse project financing in most countries and has no
country or project dollar limits.
In either project or structured finance, Ex-Im Bank has two primary goals:
To maximize U.S. company participation in the transaction in order to support U.S.
jobs; and
To lend responsibly into creditworthy projects in order to protect the interests of our
"shareholders," the U.S. taxpayers.
4.Finance Lease Guarantee :
Ex-Im Bank supports competitive medium-term financing structured as finance leases in
addition to financing structured as installment loans. Support of lease financing is important
since some foreign buyers of U.S. capital goods prefer lease financing as an alternative to
traditional installment loans. Ex-Im Bank will guarantee lease financing of U.S. goods and
services to creditworthy international lessees, both private and public sector, when financing
is otherwise not available or applicable interest rates are not economically viable.

and lack of housing and basic services were very much evident in the early 1950s.

Industrial Housing Scheme was widened to cover all workers. Three new schemes were
introduced, namely, Rural Housing, Slum Clearance and Sweepers Housing.
In Fifth plan the preceeding policy was reiterated and The Urban Land (Ceiling &
Regulation) Act was enacted to prevent concentration of land holding in urban areas and to
make available urban land for construction of houses for the middle and low income groups.
The Sixth Plan (1980-85) refocused attention on the provision of services along with shelter,
particularly for the poor.

led housing development stressing on the need to place major responsibility of housing
construction to the private sector
The Eighth Plan (1992-97), for the first time, recognised the role and importance of the urban
sector for the national economy. The new Housing and Habitat Policy unveiled in 1998
aimed at ensuring “shelter for all” and better quality of life to all citizens by using the unused
potential in public, private and household sectors.
Considerable efforts were made during Ninth and Tenth Five Year Plans to enlarge the
resource base and initiate innovative institutional mechanisms to augment housing delivery in
urban areas.
ii)Housing Policy : The National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy 2007 (NUHHP-2007) has
been formulated keeping in view the changing socio-economic parameters of the urban areas

business.

Marketing Mix Strategy
1.Product : For many a product is simply the tangible, phsysical entity that they may be
buying or selling. The ACTUAL product is the tangible, physical product. The
AUGMENTED product is the non-physical part of the product. It usually consists of lots of
added value, for which you may or may not pay a premium.
2.Price : Although competing on price is as old as mankind, the consumer is often still sensitive for
price discounts and special offers. Price has also an irrational side: something that is expensive must be good.
Permanently competing on price is for many banks not a very sensible approach. Price or Charges for
opening senior citizen account are discounted.
3.Place : Place is also known as channel, distribution, or intermediary. It is the mechanism
through which goods and/or services are moved from the manufacturer/ service provider to
the user or consumer.
4.Promotion :Advertisement,Pamplets,Hoarding etc
5.People : People are the most important element of any service or experience. Services tend
to be produced and consumed at the same moment, and aspects of the customer experience
are altered to meet the 'individual needs' of the person consuming it.
6.Physical Evidence : Physical Evidence is the material part of a service. Strictly speaking
there are no physical attributes to a service, so a consumer tends to rely on material cues.
7.Process : Procedure, mechanisms and flow of activities by which services are consumed (customer
management processes) are an essential element of the marketing strategy,which is very well managed in all
branches of Sidbi.

Marketing Strategy
The Indian government's decision to privatize the insurance industry broke the
monopoly of LIC. With the advent of competition, LIC was forced to change its
organizational outlook and its business processes.
Until the Indian insurance industry was liberalized, LIC did not have any clear
marketing strategies. Since it enjoyed monopoly status, it could afford to have a very
limited focus on marketing.
For the average Indian, LIC became synonymous with life insurance, and over the
years it built up an enviable brand image in both rural and urban areas.
The company grew by leaps and bounds, with people buying its policies due to the tax
concessions attached to it. On account of its position as a monopoly, LIC did not
standardize its practices nor did it focused on providing better customer service to the
policyholders...
LIC had a large network of 8 lakh agents for distributing its products. The company
had several marketing personnel designated as 'Development Officers' in each branch.
Marketing Mix Strategy
7ps of marketing mix strategy.
i)Product : Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk
of loss to life and property. A large number of people form an association that shares
the risks attached to individuals. The risks, which can be insured against, include fire,
the perils of sea, death, accidents and burglary.
ii)Price : Any risk contingent upon these may be insured against at a premium
commensurate with the risk involved. Thus, insurance is the collective bearing of risk.
iii)Place : LIC Of India Jeevan Prakash Building, Department Lak Road Ahmedabad.
iv) Promotion : The company had several marketing personnel designated as
'Development Officers' in each branch. These development officers, in turn, employed
and trained a number of agents, and received incentives for the business generated by
these agents, in addition to their regular salaries. However, this network was not very
cost-effective as LIC had to pay bonuses and commissions twice - to the agents as
well as the development officers - for every new policy and every subsequent
renewal.
v) Process : Associated with customer service are a number of processes involved in
making marketing effective in an organisation e.g. processes for handling customer
complaints, processes for identifying customer needs and requirements, processes for
handling order etc.
vi)People : The organization is headed by 4 officers, namely the Chairman and three
Managing Directors. The top brass is appointed by the Government of India after an
intensive selection procedure. Though the company was accused to go by mere
seniority in number of years for the selection of the senior management.
vii)Physical Evidence : The importance of quality physical layout is important in a
range of service providers, Physical layout is not only relevant to stores, which we
visit, but also to the layout and structure of virtual stores, and websites.

Target Market
ICICI Prudential has selected tea tribes of Assam as the target market to launch a
microinsurance product. These workers are mostly migrants from neighbouring states
who have settled in Assam for generations. Their community is not recognized as
‘scheduled tribes´ under the Indian constitution and cannot therefore benefit from
government benefits such as job reservation.
ICICI Prudential also target Micro finance institution
ICICI prudential are concentrating more on the industrial class then the service class.
It is generally known that more insurance are made by the service class to get
reduction from the Tax, so they also focus on the service class because they are the
people who wants to secure their life by investing in the insurances sector.
So I suggest that concentration should be given to this class also because the ratio of
the service class is much high in the country.
Marketing StrategyICICI Prudential claims to be the only one offering a guaranteed bonus in addition to another bonus that is
contingent on the returns the company generates on investment.
Industry hands often remark on the danger of comparing policies by merely looking at the premium. A part of
the premium goes into investments, the benefits of which will accrue at the end of the policy. Therefore, a lower
premium could result in relatively lower benefits once the policy expires.
Marketing Strategy is revised as per the situation like technological changes,economic,social,Polotical etc .
With the liberalisation of the insurance market in 2000, building a separate insurance brand
with a towering public sector unit like LIC that held 100 per cent of the market share proved
to be an urgent as well as a daunting task. Awareness of the brand was the first goal that had
to be met.
ICICI Prudential's `Retirement solutions campaign' was the highest spending brand, pipping
several HLL brands to the post. The fact that insurance selling activity reaches a peak around
March also needs to be taken into account.
Marketing Mix Strategy
1.Product- ICICI Prudential's life insurance products may be loosely categorised under three forms: pure life
insurance products without an investment angle to them; a product that is a mix of a cumulative investment
scheme and an insurance product; and finally, standard products such as money-back and endowment policies.
2.Price : Life insurance and retirement plans are effective ways to save taxes.
As per Section 10(10D) of Income tax Act, 1961, any sum received under a life insurance
policy, including the sum allocated by way of bonus on such policy is exempt from tax.
3.Place : Another element of Neil H.Borden's Marketing Mix is Place. Place is also known as
channel, distribution, or intermediary. It is the mechanism through which goods and/or
services are moved from the manufacturer/ service provider to the user or consumer.
4.Promotion : ICICI Prudential getting into product-specific advertising. With Chintamani,
insurance advertising got a new treatment. The break with tradition came when ICICI
Prudential arguably became the first private insurance company to recognise and harness the
power of TV advertising, with its `Sindoor' campaign in 2001. Then came its retirement
solutions campaign with the tagline `Retire from work, not life.'
5.Process : All the transaction that are undertaken in ICICI Prudential are under certain law,or
section .
6.People: All the employees working in organization are directly or indirectly related to
building up goodwill.employee are the one who represent the company in the front of the
customer.
7.Physical evidence : Physical Evidence is the material part of a service. Strictly speaking
there are no physical attributes to a service, so a consumer tends to rely on material cues.
There are many examples of physical evidence.

At the turn of the century, the explosive growth of the BFSI segment compelled ICICI

solutions that would allow them to sustain margins without losing customers. To combat this
challenge, ICICI Lombard decided to adopt an e-procurement solution.

presence made it difficult for ICICI Lombard to keep its spend under control.
