Background :

The Indian economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the world with GDP per capita
growing at a rate of 7.1% per annum1 . The country is also experiencing a demographic shift
towards a younger population with about 35% of the population being between 15 and 34
years of age2 in 2017. In the next few decades, unprecedented numbers of young people are
expected to enter the workforce, earn and save part of their earnings. India’s household
financial savings were estimated to be about 8.1% of the Gross National Disposable Income
(GNDI), or about $26 trillion in the financial year 2016-17. About a fourth of these savings are
invested in insurance3 . Thus, the insurance sector is large and will grow further in the coming
years. Understanding consumer behavior and what influences purchase decisions is
important for different players in this industry including regulators and insurance companies.
Life insurance allows individuals to secure the financial future of their families in the event of
their own premature death. It also serves the savings and investment needs of individuals
who may be unaware of or wary about investing in mutual funds or the stock market. Unlike
countries in the developed world, social security or government pension schemes are
accessible to only a small part of the population in India. Most people use bank savings, fixed
deposits, post office savings and public provident fund (PPF) as instruments for savings and
investment. Due to the lack of access to formal financial markets and lack of information and
financial literacy, life insurance assumes a critical role in the financial wellbeing of a large part
of the society. It is especially important for rural and poorer sections of the society. Despite
recent growth, the life insurance market in India has low penetration rates compared to
many other countries. Financial inclusion is one of the primary concerns of policy makers
across the world. The World Bank defines financial inclusion as follows: "Financial inclusion
means that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products
and services that meet their needs – transactions, payments, savings, credit and insurance –
delivered in a responsible and sustainable way”. It is notable that in the World Bank
definition, access to and use of insurance services has been included as an integral part of
financial inclusion. Financial inclusion is of particular relevance to a country like India where
many millions are financially excluded. The Government of India has introduced several
policies to further the goal of greater financial inclusion in 2014 and 2015. The first of these is
the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) that aims to provide basic banking services to
more Indians. The Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri
Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) introduced in 2015 aim to provide low cost life insurance and
accident insurance respectively.

Research Motivation:

The extant literature on life insurance in India is mostly descriptive in nature, with a few
empirical studies that have looked at demographic and socioeconomic drivers of insurance
demand. Consumer behavior in life insurance market has remained largely unexplored. Given
the low levels of insurance penetration and its critical role in increasing financial wellbeing, it
is important to understand the life insurance purchase behaviors of Indians. There are several
issues that are of interest, the level of financial literacy and awareness, the level of social
influence in the purchase decision, understanding the motivations behind the purchase and
understanding whether the existing insurance providers are meeting the needs of the
consumer. This is the primary motivation for this study. We discuss below some of the main
theoretical and empirical aspects of insurance literature that motivates this study

Outline of the Study:


The thesis is presented in 6 chapters. The four themes described above have been elaborated
on and results have been presented in Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. These
chapters include a brief background of the study, literature review, research motives,
research design, data and sample, findings and discussion. Chapter 6 summarizes the overall
findings of the thesis, giving an overview of the contributions of this thesis and the social
implications. Limitations of the work and scope for future research have been discussed

Introduction to Insurance

Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk management


primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss.
An entity which provides insurance is known as an insurer, insurance company, or insurance
carrier. A person or entity who buys insurance is known as an insured or policyholder. The
insurance transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively small
loss in the form of payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to
compensate the insured in the event of a covered loss. The loss may or may not be financial,
but it must be reducible to financial terms, and must involve something in which the insured
has an insurable interest established by ownership, possession, or pre-existing relationship.
The insured receives a contract, called the insurance policy, which details the conditions and
circumstances under which the insured will be financially compensated. The amount of
money charged by the insurer to the insured for the coverage set forth in the insurance policy
is called the premium. If the insured experiences a loss which is potentially covered by the
insurance policy, the insured submits a claim to the insurer for processing by a claims
adjuster.

 Principles
1. Principal of utmost good faith:
Under this insurance contract both the parties should have faith over each other. As a
client it is the duty of the insured to disclose all the facts to the insurance company.
Any fraud or misrepresentation of facts can result into cancellation of the contract.

2. Principle of Loss Minimization


According to the Principle of Loss Minimization, insured must always try his level best
to minimize the loss of his insured property, in case of uncertain events like a fire
outbreak or blast, etc. The insured must take all possible measures and necessary
steps to control and reduce the losses in such a scenario. The insured must not neglect
and behave irresponsibly during such events just because the property is insured.
Hence it is a responsibility of the insured to protect his insured property and avoid
further losses.

3. Principle of Insurable interest:


Under this principle of insurance, the insured must have interest in the subject matter
of the insurance. Absence of insurance makes the contract null and void. If there is no
insurable interest, an insurance company will not issue a policy. An insurable interest
must exist at the time of the purchase of the insurance. For example, a creditor has an
insurable interest in the life of a debtor, A person is considered to have an unlimited
interest in the life of their spouse etc.

4. Principle of indemnity:
Indemnity means security or compensation against loss or damage. The principle of
indemnity is such principle of insurance stating that an insured may not be
compensated by the insurance company in an amount exceeding the insured‘s
economic loss. In type of insurance the insured would be compensation with the
amount equivalent to the actual loss and not the amount exceeding the loss. This is a
regulatory principal. This principle is observed more strictly in property insurance than
in life insurance. The purpose of this principle is to set back the insured to the same
financial position that existed before the loss or damage occurred.
5. Principal of subrogation:
The principle of subrogation enables the insured to claim the amount from the third
party responsible for the loss. It allows the insurer to pursue legal methods to recover
the amount of loss, For example, if you get injured in a road accident, due to reckless
driving of a third party, the insurance company will compensate your loss and will also
sue the third party to recover the money paid as claim.

6. Double insurance:
Double insurance denotes insurance of same subject matter with two different
companies or with the same company under two different policies. Insurance is
possible in case of indemnity contract like fire, marine and property insurance. Double
insurance policy is adopted where the financial position of the insurer is doubtful. The
insured cannot recover more than the actual loss and cannot claim the whole amount
from both the insurers.

7. Principle of proximate cause:


Proximate cause literally means the nearest cause‘ or direct cause‘. This principle is
applicable when the loss is the result of two or more causes. The proximate cause
means; the most dominant and most effective cause of loss is considered. This
principle is applicable when there are series of causes of damage or loss.

 Insurability

Risk which can be insured by private companies typically shares seven common
characteristic

1.Large number of similar exposure units


Since insurance operates through pooling resources, the majority of insurance
policies are provided for individual members of large classes, allowing insurers to
benefit from the law of large numbers in which predicted losses are similar to the
actual losses. Exceptions include Lloyd's of London, which is famous for insuring
the life or health of actors, sports figures, and other famous individuals. However,
all exposures will have particular differences, which may lead to different
premium rates.
2.Difinite Loss
The loss takes place at a known time, in a known place, and from a known cause.
The classic example is death of an insured person on a life insurance policy. Fire,
automobile accidents, and worker injuries may all easily meet this criterion. Other
types of losses may only be definite in theory. Occupational disease, for instance,
may involve prolonged exposure to injurious conditions where no specific time,
place, or cause is identifiable. Ideally, the time, place, and cause of a loss should be
clear enough that a reasonable person, with sufficient information, could
objectively verify all three elements.

3.Accidental loss

The event that constitutes the trigger of a claim should be fortuitous, or at least
outside the control of the beneficiary of the insurance. The loss should be pure, in
the sense that it results from an event for which there is only the opportunity for
cost. Events that contain speculative elements such as ordinary business risks or
even purchasing a lottery ticket are generally not considered insurable.

4.Large loss
The size of the loss must be meaningful from the perspective of the insured.
Insurance premiums need to cover both the expected cost of losses, plus the cost
of issuing and administering the policy, adjusting losses, and supplying the capital
needed to reasonably assure that the insurer will be able to pay claims. For small
losses, these latter costs may be several times the size of the expected cost of
losses. There is hardly any point in paying such costs unless the protection offered
has real value to a buyer

5.Affordable premium
If the likelihood of an insured event is so high, or the cost of the event so large,
that the resulting premium is large relative to the amount of protection offered,
then it is not likely that the insurance will be purchased, even if on offer.
Furthermore, as the accounting profession formally recognizes in financial
accounting standards, the premium cannot be so large that there is not a
reasonable chance of a significant loss to the insurer. If there is no such chance of
loss, then the transaction may have the form of insurance, but not the substance.
6.Calculable loss
There are two elements that must be at least estimable, if not formally calculable:
the probability of loss, and the attendant cost. Probability of loss is generally an
empirical exercise, while cost has more to do with the ability of a reasonable
person in possession of a copy of the insurance policy and a proof of loss
associated with a claim presented under that policy to make a reasonably definite
and objective evaluation of the amount of the loss recoverable as a result of the
claim

7 Limited risk of catastrophically large losses


Insurable losses are ideally independent and non-catastrophic, meaning that the
losses do not happen all at once and individual losses are not severe enough to
bankrupt the insurer; insurers may prefer to limit their exposure to a loss from a
single event to some small portion of their capital base. Capital constrains insurers'
ability to sell earthquake insurance as well as wind insurance in hurricane zones. In
the United States, flood risk is insured by the federal government. In commercial
fire insurance, it is possible to find single properties whose total exposed value is
well in excess of any individual insurer's capital constraint. Such properties are
generally shared among several insurers, or are insured by a single insurer who
syndicates the risk into the reinsurance market.

 Legal
When a company insures an individual entity, there are basic legal requirements
and regulations. Several commonly cited legal principles of insurance include:

1. Indemnity
The insurance company indemnifies, or compensates, the insured in the case of
certain losses only up to the insured's interest.

2. Benefit insurance
as it is stated in the study books of The Chartered Insurance Institute, the
insurance company does not have the right of recovery from the party who
caused the injury and is to compensate the Insured regardless of the fact that
Insured had already sued the negligent party for the damages (for example,
personal accident insurance)
3. Insurable interest
the insured typically must directly suffer from the loss. Insurable interest must
exist whether property insurance or insurance on a person is involved. The
concept requires that the insured have a "stake" in the loss or damage to the
life or property insured. What that "stake" is will be determined by the kind of
insurance involved and the nature of the property ownership or relationship
between the persons. The requirement of an insurable interest is what
distinguishes insurance from gambling.

5. Utmost good faith

the insured and the insurer are bound by a good faith bond of honesty and
fairness. Material facts must be disclosed.

6. Contribution

insurers which have similar obligations to the insured contribute in the


indemnification, according to some method.

7.Subrogation
the insurance company acquires legal rights to pursue recoveries on behalf of
the insured; for example, the insurer may sue those liable for the insured's
loss. The Insurers can waive their subrogation rights by using the special clause.

8. Causa proxima, or proximate cause


the cause of loss (the peril) must be covered under the insuring agreement of
the policy, and the dominant cause must not be excluded

9.Mitigation
In case of any loss or casualty, the asset owner must attempt to keep loss to a
minimum, as if the asset was not insured.
 Methods of insurance
In accordance with study books of The Chartered Insurance Institute, there are the following
types of insurance:

1.Co-insurance
risks shared between insurers
2. Dual insurance
risks having two or more policies with same coverage (Both the individual policies would
not pay separately- a concept named contribution, and would contribute together to make
up the policyholder's losses. However, in case of contingency insurances like Life insurance,
dual payment is allowed)
3. Self-insurance
situations where risk is not transferred to insurance companies and solely retained by the
entities or individuals themselves
4. Reinsurance
situations when Insurer passes some part of or all risks to another Insurer called Reinsurer.

 Types of insurance
General insurance or Non-life insurance General insurance or non-life insurance policies,
including automobile and homeowners policies, provide payments depending on the loss
from a particular financial event. General insurance is typically defined as any insurance
that is not determined to be life insurance.

1. Motor Insurance
Motor insurance covers all damages and liability to a vehicle against various on-road
and offroad emergencies. A comprehensive policy even secures against damage
caused by natural and man-made calamities, including acts of terrorism. Motor
insurance offers protection to the vehicle owner against.

Damage to the vehicle.


It also pays for any third party liability determined by law against the owner of the
vehicle. Motor insurance is mandatory in India as per the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988
and needs to be renewed every year. Driving a motor vehicle without insurance in a
public place is a punishable offence. In fact, third party insurance is a statutory
requirement in our country i.e. the owner of the vehicle is legally liable for any injury
or damage caused to a third party life or property, by or arising out of the use of the
vehicle in a public place. A comprehensive motor insurance policy would include
personal accident and liability only policy (third party insurance) in addition to own
damage cover (damage to owner‘s vehicle) in one policy.
Common motor insurance categories include:
i.Car Insurance

ii. Two Wheeler Insurance


iii. Commercial Vehicle Insurance
1.Some attractive benefits of motor insurance include roadside assistance, cashless
servicing at nationwide network of workshops and garages, personal accident cover,
towing assistance.
2. Health Insurance
Health care costs are increasing every year. Sedentary lifestyle and stress at work
negatively affect the health and can result in a critical illness or medical emergency. Such
a scenario is sure to adversely affect one financially, due to the massive outlay of money
on medical expenditure. A health insurance policy is the only way to mitigate the financial
risks, apart from leading a healthy lifestyle. Health insurance guarantees peace of mind in
times of crisis, and helps secure own health and that of one‘s family. Health insurance
covers the medical and surgical expenses of the insured individual due to hospitalisation
from an illness. Additional riders enhance the benefits and scope of the cover. Health
insurance often includes cashless facility at empanelled hospitals, pre and post
hospitalisation expenses, ambulance charges, daily cash allowance etc .
Common types of health insurance policies include:
i. Individual Policy
ii. ii. Family Floater Policy
iii. iii. Surgery Cover
iv. iv. Comprehensive Health Insurance
2. Travel Insurance
International travel, whether on vacation or business, can turn into a nightmare if one
experiences contingencies like loss of baggage, loss of passport, delay in flight,
medical emergency etc. Such eventualities will surely take the fun away from
travelling. Travel insurance, also referred to as visitor insurance, covers one against
unseen medical and nonmedical emergencies during overseas travel, ensuring a
worry-free travel experience. It protects the insured against misfortunes while
travelling. Backed up by travel insurance, the whole experience is like no other.
Different types of travel insurance policies include:

i. Individual Travel Policy


ii. ii. Family Travel Policy
iii. iii. Student Travel Insurance
iv. iv. Senior Citizens Travel Policy
In addition to the above, some insurance companies offer special plans like a
corporate travel policy or comprehensive policy for travel to special destinations like
Asia and/or Europe.
3. Home Insurance
Home is often the most treasured possession of an individual and also the largest
financial investments one makes in life. Safeguarding the physical structure and
contents of home seems like a logical thing to do. Home insurance protects the house
and/or the contents in it, depending on the scope of insurance policy opted for. It
secures the home against natural calamities and man-made disasters and threats.
Home insurance provides protection against risks and damages from fire, burglary,
theft, flood, earthquakes etc. covering the physical asset (building structure) and
valuables (contents) in it. Home insurance ensures that one‘s hard-earned savings are
utilised to meet important needs instead of using them for rebuilding the house if
some harm was to come to it.

4. Marine (Cargo) Insurance


Business involves the import and export of goods, within national borders and across
international borders. Movement of goods is fraught with risk of mishaps which can
result in damage and/or destruction of shipments. This leads to substantial financial
losses for both the importers as well as the exporters. Marine cargo insurance covers
goods, freight, cargo and other interests against loss or damage during transit by rail,
road, sea and/or air. Shipments are protected from the time the goods leave the
seller‘s warehouse till they reach the buyer‘s warehouse. Marine cargo insurance
offers complete financial protection during transit of goods and compensates in the
event of any loss suffered. The party responsible for insuring the goods is determined
by the sales contract. Marine cargo insurance policy can be taken by buyers, sellers,
import/export merchants, buying agents, contractors, banks etc. The policy usually
covers the cargo, but can also be extended to cover the interest of a third party post
transfer of ownership as determined by terms of sale.

Common policies:
i.Open Cover
ii. Open Policy
iii. Specific Voyage Policy

iv Annual Policy

5. Rural Insurance
Insurance solutions to meet the needs of agriculture and rural businesses form part of
rural insurance. IRDA has stipulated annual targets for insurers to provide insurance to
the rural and social sector. As per these regulations, insurers are required to meet
year-wise targets.

 In percentage terms of policies underwritten and percentage of total gross premium


income by general insurers under rural obligation 

In terms of the number of lives under social obligation Commercial Insurance


Commercial insurance encompasses solutions for all sectors of the industry arising out
of business operations. Insurance solutions for automotive, aviation, construction,
chemicals, foods and beverages, manufacturing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, power,
technology, telecom, textiles, transport and logistics sectors. It covers small and
medium scale enterprises, large corporations as well as multinational companies.
1. Property Insurance
2. . Marine Insurance
3. . Liability Insurance
4. Financial Lines
5. Insurance Engineering Insurance

2. Life Insurance Life insurance provides a monetary benefit to a decedent's


family or other designated beneficiary, and may specifically provide for income
to an insured person's family, burial, funeral and other final expenses. Life
insurance policies often allow the option of having the proceeds paid to the
beneficiary either in a lump sum cash payment or an annuity. In most states, a
person cannot purchase a policy on another person without their knowledge.

 Types of life insurance

There are various types of policies and schemes prepared to suit the need of
different individual. You can avail the one that satisfy your budget and need.
Lifeinsurance can be broadly divided into 3 types:

1. Term Life Insurance


In this type of life insurance, financial coverage is provided for a certain
period of time according to the terms of the policy. When the term period
gets over, the policy holder can either end the policy or continue it by
paying annual premiums.Term life insurance does not provide permanent
coverage but is good for thosewho want temporary protection on a limited
budget. If you are thinking of availinga short term life insurance policy to
pay off loans, term life insurance policy is theright option for you. It can be
renewed according to the policy holders wish andneed.

2. Whole Life Insurance


In this type of life insurance, the insured is provided with permanent
financial protection. It is a long terminsurance planwhere the policy holder
needs to pay premiums annually. There are various types of whole life
insurance thatindividuals can avail in accordance to their needs such as
Non-participating,Participating, Indeterminate premium, Economic,
Limited Pay, Single Premiumand Interest sensitive. But all life insurance
companies may not offer all the typesof whole insurance policies stated
above.

3. Universal Life Insurance


This is a permanent life insurance plan which has flexible terms. It allows
some of the benefits such as death benefits, saving benefits to be reviewed
and changed according to the policy holders need. In this policy, the
insured enjoys not only benefits of term life insurance but also cash value
(premiums that are above the cost insurance are credited as cash value).
You can choose from the 3 types of universal life insurances, i.e. Single
premium, fixed premium and flexible premium, in accordance to your
requirement.
i. Single premium universal life insurance:
In single premium universal lifeinsurance, the policy holder pays a
big premium amount at the beginning of the policy. The policy
remains active as long as the cost of insurance (COI) is covered by
the initially paid amount

ii. ii. Fixed premium universal life insurance:


In fixed premium universal lifeinsurance, the policy holder makes
monthly or yearly payments of fixed amountfor a certain period of
time.

iii. Flexible premium universal life insurance:


In this option of universal lifeinsurance, the policy holder can pay
monthly premiums of his choice as long as theminimum payment
amount is covered.Life insurance is therefore an essential step
towards safeguarding the future of your family. People should
understand how these life insurance policies work and availthe one
that seems suitable to their needs. Take the help of a good
insurance agentwho will help you with details of the policies
available.

 Parties
The person responsible for making payments for a policy is the policy owner, while the
insured is the person whose death will trigger payment of the death benefit. The owner and
insured may or may not be the same person. The policy owner is the guarantor and he will be
the person to pay for the policy. The insured is a participant in the contract, but not
necessarily a party to it. The beneficiary receives policy proceeds upon the insured person's
death. The owner designates the beneficiary, but the beneficiary is not a party to the policy.

 Death proceeds

Upon the insured's death, the insurer requires acceptable proof of death before it pays the claim. The
normal minimum proof required is a death certificate, and the insurer's claim form completed, signed,
and typically notarized. If the insured's death is suspicious and the policy amount is large, the insurer
may investigate the circumstances surrounding the death before deciding whether it has an obligation
to pay the claim. Payment from the policy may be as a lump sum or as an annuity, which is paid in
regular instalments for either a specified period or for the beneficiary's lifetime.
 Benefits of having an insurance policy

1. Protection
First and foremost, one primary advantage of life insurance is the death benefit. Dying with no
life insurance can create all sorts of financial and emotional problems for those you leave
behind. For example, your family may have to find money for debts, mortgage, bills, funeral
expenses, income replacement and more. There is a huge advantage to having a life insurance
policy in force that will pay a death benefit will go to your life insurance beneficiary, which
they can use however they wish. For example, they could pay off the mortgage, replace lost
income, or pay off any large debts, such as student loans.

2. Removes Worries
For the length of your level term life insurance or for the rest of your life with whole life
insurance with cash value, you can rest worry free that your family is provided for should you
die prematurely. You see, there really is no replacement for the satisfaction you get once you
have life insurance in force and you know your family‘s financial needs will be met if you die.
You can choose 10, 20, or 30 year term life insurance. There is even a 35 year return of
premium life insurance policy available. Each policy has a conversion option to permanent
coverage, and also turns into annual renewable term to age 90 or 95 once the policy expires.

3. Cash Value
Apart from return of premium policies, term life insurance does not have cash value.
However, if you were to go for a permanent policy, you will be eligible for cash value life
insurance. Depending on the design of the policy, your cash value will grow over time. By
adding certain life insurance riders to the policy, such as paid up additions, you can
supercharge the cash value growth. The advantage of cash value life insurance is that you can
use the cash to fund many purchases down the road, such as paying off debt, buying a home,
investing in real estate, of simply living off the dividends as a form of passive income.

Advantages of Cash Value Life Insurance:


 Cash value grows tax deferred
 True compound interest as your principle is left undisturbed
 Tax free withdrawals and policy loans
 policy loans do not have to be repaid; you choose your own repayment schedule and
amount  policy loans do not show up on your credit report
 Income tax free death benefit
 Living benefits
 Different benefits including accelerated benefits which pay a portion of your death benefit
while you are still alive if you are diagnosed terminally ill
 Distributions are not considered in calculating Affordable Care Act taxes on investment
income, income taxes on Social Security benefits, or in calculating Medicare premiums.
 Provides an excellent source of supplemental retirement income
 Protected under certain state laws against creditors

4.Tax Benefits
Not only is a life insurance death benefit not taxable, the cash value accumulation and any
dividends accumulate tax deferred. And if you use policy loans you may never have to pay
taxes on your cash value growth. Further, all policy loans are free from income tax, and even
most cash value withdrawals are taxfree as long as it doesn‘t surpass the premiums paid into
the policy, i.e. your basis.

5.Flexibility

Another advantage of a life insurance policy is that you have great flexibility over what
company you choose, the policy, coverage, duration, beneficiary, and more. Even after you
have passed away, most insurers will allow the death benefit to be spent on whatever is
required rather than forcing your loved ones to spend it in certain areas. Depending on the
type of policy you choose, after the policy is in effect and has been for many years, there are
various things that can be done to adjust, including lowering the premiums. If your income
decreases, you might be able to decrease your premiums and death benefit with an option to
increase it once more in the future.

6.Cheap Prices

Finally, we should also mention that life insurance rates are now extremely affordable,
particularly term life, thanks to people living longer than ever. Further, as one company
competes with the next, cheap life insurance is in abundance. And your own decisions will
affect the price and this comes back down to flexibility once again.

 Are you happy with doing a medical exam or do you prefer life insurance with no medical
exam?
 Do you need any riders attached to your policy?
 Are you looking for term life or permanent insurance? Overall, there are many decisions
you can make to find the most affordable life insurance in the marketplace.

ABOUT RELIANCE CAPITAL:

Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their country's economic
progress as did the founder of Reliance, Shri. Dhirubhai H. Ambani. Fewer still have left
behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless But the role Dhirubhai cherished most
was perhaps that of India's greatest wealth creator. In one lifetime, he built from scratch,
India's largest private sector enterprise.
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of only about
US$ 300 (around Rs. 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this
fledgling enterprise into a Rs. 60,000 crore colossus—an achievement which earned Reliance
a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to do so.

Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India's capital markets. In 1977, when Reliance
Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a place patronised by
a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks. Undaunted, Dhirubhai
managed to convince a large number of first-time retail investors to participate in the
unfolding the Reliance story and put their hard-earned money into the Reliance Textile IPO,
promising them in exchange for their trust, substantial return on their investments.
It was to be the start of one of the greatest stories of mutual respect and reciprocal gain in
the Indian market. Under Dhirubhai's extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted
one of the greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world and went on to
become India's largest private sector enterprise. Throughout this amazing journey, Dhirubhai
always kept the interests of the ordinary shareholder above all else; in the process making
millionaires out of many of the initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the
world's largest shareholder families.
NIPPON LIFE INSURANCE

Nippon Life was founded as Nippon Life Assurance Co., Inc. in July 1889, and in 1891, the
name was changed to Nippon Life Assurance Co., Ltd. When the Company was founded, a
premium table based on unique Japanese mortality statistics was created. At the same time,
Nippon Life became the first Japanese life insurer to decide to offer profit dividends to
policyholders, which embodied the spirit of mutual aid.
And so, after its first major closing of books in 1898, Nippon Life paid the first policyholder
dividends in Japan. After World War II, the Company was reborn as Nippon Life Insurance
Company in 1947 and continues to work to realize mutual aid and cooperative prosperity as a
mutual company.
Looking ahead, Nippon Life will continue to embody this spirit of mutual aid and, as a life
insurance company, strive to provide customers with enhanced services.
Currently, Nippon Life, as one of Japan's largest private life insurer, has a revenue of US$
710.0 Billion and profit of US$ 54.6 billion as of Mar 31, 2019. The Company, with over 34
million policies in Japan, offers a wide range of products, including individual and group life
and annuity policies through various distribution channels and mainly uses face-to-face sales
channel for its traditional insurance products.

headquartered in Osaka, Japan. It is ranked 125th among the Global Fortune 500 firms in
2019.

CONCLUSION

The insurance sector has a vast potential not only because incomes are increasing and assets are
expanding but also because the volatility in the system is increasing. In a sense, we are living in a more
risky world. Trade is becoming increasingly global. Technologies are changing and getting replaced at a
faster rate. In this more uncertain world, for which enough evidence is available in the recent period,
insurance will have an important role to play in reducing the risk burden individuals and businesses have
to bear. In the emerging scenario, the insurance industry must pay attention to

(a) Product innovation

(b) Appropriate pricing and

(c) Speedy settlement of claims.

The approach to insurance must be in tune with the changing times. The mission of the insurance sector
in India should be to extend the insurance coverage over a larger section of the population and a wider
segment of activities.

The three guiding principles of the industry must be to charge premium no higher than what is
warranted by strict actuarial considerations, to invest the funds for obtaining maximum yield for the
policy holders consistent with the safety of capital and to render efficient and prompt service to policy
holders. With imaginative corporate planning and an abiding commitment to improved service, the
mission of widening the spread of insurance can be achieved.
