Driving a Paradigm Shift in
Transforming the Insurance Sector of India
Mr. Alok Agarwal,
Executive Director
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited
The Most Trusted Insurance Companies in India
The insurance sector of India has undergone
signiļ¬cant changes due to regulatory reforms,
technological advancements, and evolving
consumer preferences. These changes have led to a
customer-centric and technologically advanced industry,
improving accessibility, transparency, and eļ¬ƒciency.
ICICI Lombard, a leading private general insurance
company in the country, has been recognized for its
customer-centric approach and innovative solutions. The
company has received numerous awards 'Emerging
Company of the Year' at ET Corporate Excellence Awards,
th
'Highest Growth GI' at the Assocham 14 Global Insurance
Awards, National Training Awards at the Golden Peacock
Awards, Best Insurance Company in Non-Life Insurance
sector at the Dun & Bradstreet BFSI Fintech Awards, ET
Business Leadership Awards for #SalaamMSME
Campaign, Special Jury recommendation for EGS
initiatives at the FICCI Insurance Industry Awards, ET
Ascent National Awards for CSR initiatives, Vigyan
Bhawan National CSR Awards for Caring Hands &
Niranjali initiatives, Guinness World Record for its CSR
initiatives and many more. The awards are a testament to
the trust reposed in the Company by its customers, partners
and other stakeholders.
The Unique Signiļ¬cance of General Insurance
Unlike many other industries, general insurance sector
oļ¬€ers a wide range of products that cater to various needs.
Mr. Agarwal believes that the sector is exceptionally unique
within the realm of ļ¬nancial services. These products
include property protection, logistics coverage, legal
liability insurance, as well as health and accident coverage.
General insurance encompasses a vast spectrum of
protection.
The general insurance sector also holds far-reaching social
relevance. Insurance is typically sought when individuals
ļ¬nd themselves in distressing situations. Therefore, it serves
as a means of social beneļ¬t. Recognizing its importance,
the Government of India has introduced various schemes
over the past two decades to address the needs of the
society. These schemes aim to provide insurance coverage
on a large scale, especially for individuals from
economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Safeguarding Interests and Enhancing Convenience
Mr. Agarwal emphasizes that the insurance industry has
been at the forefront of working with large data, even a
century ago. It was the ļ¬rst industry to extensively utilize
and develop data science, which became the foundation of
insurance practices. However, recent advancements in
technology, such as AI and ML, have further revolutionized
the industry. Mr. Agarwal provides several examples to
illustrate these developments.
In the logistics sector, tracking vehicles using embedded
chips has become a standard practice. If a vehicle deviates
from its designated route, immediate actions are triggered,
including reporting to the police. This enables timely
intervention and potential apprehension of culprits.
IoT devices are utilized, such as pressure gauges in ļ¬re
hydrant systems. These devices raise an alarm if the
pressure falls below a certain threshold. This ensures that
ļ¬re hydrants are operational when needed as they tend
remain unused and unmaintained for extended periods of
time.
AI and machine learning are employed extensively in the
settlement of health insurance claims. Past data is analysed
to identify potential fraudulent claims. Based on this
analysis, the system triggers investigations into suspicious
cases, thus aiding in determining their validity.
Mr. Agarwal
emphasizes that
the emerging
market in India
holds immense
potential for
the future.
Alok Agarwal graduated from IIM
Calcutta in 1993 and began his career at
ICICI Bank, focusing on corporate ļ¬nance
for eight years. In 2001, he joined ICICI
Lombard, where he has remained ever
since. His work at ICICI Lombard has
primarily been in corporate and
government business, with a brief stint in
overseeing the SME sector. Recently, he
has been involved in the retail business,
speciļ¬cally targeting emerging markets
beyond 20 cities for motor insurance and
beyond 40 cities for health and SME
insurance.
During his 30-year tenure with the ICICI
Group, Mr. Agarwal has witnessed a
remarkable growth in both the industry
and the company. The general insurance
sector, which had 10,000 policyholders
when he joined, has now expanded to over
32.7 million policies as on March 31,
2023. ICICI Lombard itself has achieved a
premium of approximately 20,000 units,
reļ¬‚ecting the industry's evolution.
Initially, the general insurance sector had
four public sector companies and two
niche companies like IRCTC. Currently,
there are 31 companies in the sector, with
pending licenses awaiting approval from
IRDAI. This signiļ¬cant growth reļ¬‚ects the
industry's rapid expansion and notable
changes.
Health insurance has undergone a
substantial transformation over the past
two decades, becoming the largest
segment in the industry and surpassing
motor insurance. Technological
advancements have played a signiļ¬cant
role in shaping the industry during Mr.
Agarwal's active involvement.
A VISIONARY LEADER
Digital platforms are utilized for inspecting vehicles
when insurance is due. Customers capture
photographs of speciļ¬c points in their vehicles, and
the system utilizes AI to determine the insurability
of the vehicle. This streamlines the process and
improves eļ¬ƒciency.
ICICI Lombard, along with the industry, has been
pioneering various technological innovations in
these areas, utilizing technology extensively to
enhance operations and provide better services.
Client Assistance Initiatives
Mr. Agarwal highlights several ways in which ICICI
Lombard assists its clients. Firstly, by identifying
and eliminating fraudulent clients, the company
ensures that honest customers do not bear the burden
of fraudulent claims, resulting in lower prices for
them. This service aims to protect the interests of
genuine policyholders.
Secondly, ICICI Lombard oļ¬€ers convenience
through virtual vehicle and factory inspections. By
utilizing technology, customers no longer have to
wait for physical inspections by surveyors,
signiļ¬cantly reducing turnaround time.
ICICI Lombard
also offers value-
added services
such as IoT and
telematics-based
solutions.
Thirdly, the company provides a seamless experience
to customers by oļ¬€ering both digital and physical
channels. Customers can choose the virtual channel
for insurance purchase and servicing, with the option
of receiving physical assistance if needed. This
approach enhances convenience and accessibility for
clients.
ICICI Lombard also oļ¬€ers value-added services such
as IoT and telematics-based solutions. These services
leverage technology to enhance coverage and
provide additional beneļ¬ts to customers.
Overcoming Distribution Challenges
Mr. Agarwal identiļ¬es the major challenge faced by
ICICI Lombard when entering the insurance industry.
They had to compete with four public sector
companies that had extensive distribution
networks through their own oļ¬ƒces, making it
diļ¬ƒcult for ICICI Lombard to establish a
comparable presence without incurring
excessive costs.
To overcome this challenge, the company
implemented various initiatives. They
introduced an e-channel for sourcing
business, allowing customers to access
insurance services through virtual
platforms. Additionally, claims were
processed remotely to enhance
convenience for policyholders.
ICICI Lombard also established
virtual oļ¬ƒces, enabling
employees to work from home
while being equipped with the
necessary technological facilities
and gadgets. Currently, the
company operates 305 branches,
providing a distribution footprint
that matches that of public sector
companies.
Recognizing connectivity issues in
rural areas, ICICI Lombard devised
an oļ¬„ine/online mode known as the
ILPOS system. This system enables
agents to work oļ¬„ine throughout the
day and synchronize their data with the
company's system once a day. This approach addresses
challenges such as power cuts and unreliable internet
connectivity prevalent in smaller towns and cities.
Transforming Customer Experience
ICICI Lombard has introduced personalized services to
enhance the customer experience, such as IL TakeCare
(ILTC), a health app with multiple features. One notable
feature is the ability to provide vital parameters like blood
pressure, pulse rate, heart rate, and oxygen content with just
a face scan within two minutes. ILTC also enables users to
schedule appointments with doctors, conduct video and
teleconsultations, purchase medicines virtually through e-
medicine facilities, and arrange home-based blood tests and
sample collection. Its one stop digital solution IL TakeCare
app has over 5.6 million downloads till date, making it a
signiļ¬cant technological oļ¬€ering in the insurance industry.
Additionally, ICICI Lombard allows customers to purchase
other policies such as motor and travel insurance through
the app, which continues to evolve and expand its
capabilities.
Another noteworthy initiative undertaken by ICICI
Lombard is the migration of their core systems to the cloud,
making them the ļ¬rst large company in the insurance
industry to do so. This cloud migration has resulted in
reduced system downtime, increased stability, and enhanced
agility, signiļ¬cantly improving the reliability and speed of
their operations.
In terms of claim approvals for health insurance, ICICI
Lombard employs an AI-powered system that approves
estimates sent by hospitals in approximately 85% of cases.
This automated approval process, based on the provided
hospital data, often takes minutes or even seconds,
minimizing turnaround time and providing added
convenience for customers.
Through these technological advancements and streamlined
processes, ICICI Lombard aims to provide personalized and
eļ¬ƒcient services to its customers, prioritizing their health
and well-being while ensuring a seamless experience.
Unleashing Potential
While there is already a signiļ¬cant amount of business in
the top 20 cities in India, the penetration of insurance
products like motor insurance, health insurance, and travel
insurance is increasing rapidly in smaller regions and rural
areas. Mr. Agarwal emphasizes that the emerging market in
India holds immense potential for the future. Companies
that perform well in this segment have the opportunity to
become market leaders in the future. Therefore, it is crucial
for any company aspiring to be a signiļ¬cant player to have
a strong presence in rural areas.
India has over 700 districts, and each district headquarter
represents distinctive business potential. Even remote areas
like hilly states, Jammu and Kashmir, and the north-eastern
regions have shown promising business potential. The key
is to reach out to people where they are, irrespective of their
wealth status. While some may opt for small-ticket
insurance, with a population of over 1.4 billion, there is
substantial opportunity for insurance penetration. Globally
speaking, even poorer countries have higher insurance
penetration rates compared to India. Therefore, it is
important to penetrate deep into the hinterlands to tap into
India's demographic dividend, reaching the masses in the
most remote areas. This approach has become a signiļ¬cant
part of ICICI Lombard's overall momentum.
Expanding insurance coverage in rural and emerging
markets not only beneļ¬ts the insurance industry but also
contributes to the development of healthcare infrastructure.
When people have access to aļ¬€ordable healthcare through
insurance, the overall health infrastructure tends to
improve. Currently, more than 60% of health expenditures
in India are out-of-pocket expenses, mainly focused on
outpatient care. This indicates a signiļ¬cant opportunity for
health insurance and outpatient services in the country. By
establishing a robust distribution network in emerging
markets, insurance companies can eļ¬€ectively cater to this
segment.
To successfully distribute insurance products in these
markets, various channels need to be developed. This
includes traditional channels like agencies and brokers, as
well as partnerships with regional NBFCs (Non-Banking
Financial Companies), regional cooperative banks, and
agricultural societies. A diversiļ¬ed approach is necessary to
get across to these markets successfully and provide
insurance coverage to the underserved populations in rural
and emerging areas.
Revitalizing the Insurance Landscape
Mr. Agarwal acknowledges the recent reforms introduced
by IRDA and highlights their signiļ¬cance. He mentions the
following key reforms:
ā€¢ Bima Sugum App: The launch of an app provides a
convenient platform for individuals to purchase
various types of insurance policies such as motor
insurance, health insurance, and travel insurance. This
digital platform has the potential to be transformative,
similar to the Uniļ¬ed Payments Interface (UPI) in the
banking sector.
ā€¢ Expansion of Corporate Agents and Insurance
Marketing Firms: Previously, corporate agents could
work with a maximum of three insurance companies,
and insurance marketing ļ¬rms could work with two
insurance companies. The reform now allows them to
work with up to nine and six insurance companies,
respectively. This expansion enhances market access
for these intermediaries, fostering greater competition
and consumer choice.
ā€¢ Rural Penetration Initiatives: IRDA has allocated
states to insurance companies to focus on increasing
penetration in rural areas. A speciļ¬c product called
"Bima Vistar" has been introduced, which combines
life insurance, critical illness insurance, accident
insurance, and property insurance. The recruitment
criteria for intermediaries called "Bima Vahak" has
been broadened, allowing individuals with a class 5
pass qualiļ¬cation to become agents. This reform is
expected to signiļ¬cantly increase insurance
penetration in the rural market.
ā€¢ Expense Management and Commission Guidelines:
IRDA has introduced expense management guidelines
and revised commission guidelines for insurers. The
guidelines provide a single expense management limit
of 30% or 35% (without sub-limits for each business
segment) based on the type of insurance business.
These guidelines promote ease of doing business and
are expected to improve insurance penetration.
ā€¢ Use and File Guidelines: Previously, every insurance
product had to be ļ¬led with the regulator for approval
before it could be used in the market. The reform now
allows self-approval by the internal committee called
the Product Management Committee, enabling
insurers to use the product and subsequently ļ¬le it
with the regulator. This change streamlines the
product approval process, facilitating faster product
launches.
These reforms aim to enhance the insurance sector's ease of
doing business, promote competition, expand market
access, and improve insurance penetration, both in rural
areas and across the country.
Fostering Growth and Enhancing Social Welfare
Mr. Agarwal expresses optimism regarding the future
growth of the insurance sector in India. He acknowledges
that the current insurance penetration in the country is
relatively low compared to middle-income and poorer
countries. However, with the recent reforms and anticipated
future reforms, he expects insurance penetration to increase
signiļ¬cantly.
The insurance sector in India has shown an average growth
rate of around 16% over the past two decades. With the
recent reforms and the potential for further reforms, Mr.
Agarwal believes that the growth of the sector will
accelerate. He emphasizes the importance of increasing
insurance penetration in India, as the country has been
recognized as an underinsured and under-pensioned society.
By improving insurance penetration, the social welfare of
the community can be enhanced.
ICICI Lombard is well positioned to capitalize on the recent
reforms and contribute to the growth of the insurance
sector. The company will continue to launch new products,
expand its distribution network, and invest in technology to
serve its customers better.
The focus will be on providing customers with ease of
doing business, streamlined claim processes, and making a
marked positive impact in their lives.
Empowering Emerging Leaders in the Insurance Sector
Mr. Agarwal advises emerging leaders in the insurance
sector to approach the industry with a mindset that focuses
on serving people, particularly those in distress. He
emphasizes that proļ¬tability and growth potential should
not be the sole considerations when entering the sector.
Instead, aspiring leaders should also evaluate the social
impact they can make and their willingness to create that
impact.
Having a strong technological foundation is crucial in the
insurance sector, as it involves working with large amounts
of data. Therefore, emerging leaders should be
technologically proļ¬cient and well-versed in data science.
Additionally, Mr. Agarwal highlights the importance of
empathy towards customers, as they typically seek
insurance assistance during diļ¬ƒcult times. Leaders should
prioritize serving the needs of customers rather than solely
pursuing proļ¬ts.

of insurance in securing lives and providing a safety net
against unforeseen events is paramount.
Across India's diverse landscape, insurance providers stand

shielding individuals and families from the unpredictability

reliability, earning the unwavering conļ¬dence of the

resilience, and customer-centric values.

Dynamic Regulatory Environment:
The Indian insurance sector is subject to a continuously

requiring them to adapt their operations and ensure
adherence to the latest regulations.

providers have the potential to capitalize on several key
opportunities:
*Untapped Market:
India's insurance penetration rate remains signiļ¬cantly
lower than developed nations, presenting a vast untapped
market. Reliable providers can leverage their expertise and
brand trust to reach out to underserved populations and
increase insurance awareness, thereby promoting ļ¬nancial
inclusion and social security.
*Rising Disposable Incomes:
As disposable incomes rise in India, individuals are
increasingly seeking ļ¬nancial protection. Reliable insurance
providers can cater to this growing demand by oļ¬€ering
innovative products and services that meet the speciļ¬c
needs of diļ¬€erent income groups.
*Technological Advancements:
Technological advancements can be utilized by reliable
providers to improve operational eļ¬ƒciency, reduce costs,
and enhance customer experience. By embracing data
analytics, artiļ¬cial intelligence, and blockchain technology,
providers can personalize insurance oļ¬€erings, streamline
claims processing, and combat fraudulent activities.
*Collaborative Partnerships:
Reliable insurance providers can leverage partnerships with
ļ¬ntech companies, technology startups, and other industry
stakeholders to create a more eļ¬ƒcient and customer-centric
insurance ecosystem. These partnerships can lead to the
development of innovative products, improved distribution
channels, and better risk management practices.
*Government Initiatives:
The government of India has launched various initiatives to
promote insurance penetration and ļ¬nancial inclusion.
Reliable insurance providers can actively participate in
these initiatives to expand their reach and contribute to the
overall development of the insurance sector.
India's most reliable insurance providers face a dynamic
landscape ļ¬lled with challenges and opportunities. By
embracing innovation, adapting to changing customer
needs, and leveraging technology eļ¬€ectively, these
providers can continue to play a crucial role in securing
lives and ensuring ļ¬nancial stability for millions of
individuals and families across India.
Their unwavering commitment to ethical practices,
customer service, and social responsibility will continue to
drive the growth of the insurance sector and ensure its
positive impact on the lives of countless individuals. As they
continue to evolve and adapt to changing times, their
legacy of trust will endure, safeguarding lives and securing
futures with unwavering dedication and ethical integrity.

  • 10. The insurance sector of India has undergone signiļ¬cant changes due to regulatory reforms, technological advancements, and evolving consumer preferences. These changes have led to a customer-centric and technologically advanced industry, improving accessibility, transparency, and eļ¬ƒciency. ICICI Lombard, a leading private general insurance company in the country, has been recognized for its customer-centric approach and innovative solutions. The company has received numerous awards 'Emerging Company of the Year' at ET Corporate Excellence Awards, th 'Highest Growth GI' at the Assocham 14 Global Insurance Awards, National Training Awards at the Golden Peacock Awards, Best Insurance Company in Non-Life Insurance sector at the Dun & Bradstreet BFSI Fintech Awards, ET Business Leadership Awards for #SalaamMSME Campaign, Special Jury recommendation for EGS initiatives at the FICCI Insurance Industry Awards, ET Ascent National Awards for CSR initiatives, Vigyan Bhawan National CSR Awards for Caring Hands & Niranjali initiatives, Guinness World Record for its CSR initiatives and many more. The awards are a testament to the trust reposed in the Company by its customers, partners and other stakeholders. The Unique Signiļ¬cance of General Insurance Unlike many other industries, general insurance sector oļ¬€ers a wide range of products that cater to various needs. Mr. Agarwal believes that the sector is exceptionally unique within the realm of ļ¬nancial services. These products include property protection, logistics coverage, legal liability insurance, as well as health and accident coverage. General insurance encompasses a vast spectrum of protection. The general insurance sector also holds far-reaching social relevance. Insurance is typically sought when individuals ļ¬nd themselves in distressing situations. Therefore, it serves as a means of social beneļ¬t. Recognizing its importance, the Government of India has introduced various schemes over the past two decades to address the needs of the society. These schemes aim to provide insurance coverage on a large scale, especially for individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Safeguarding Interests and Enhancing Convenience Mr. Agarwal emphasizes that the insurance industry has been at the forefront of working with large data, even a century ago. It was the ļ¬rst industry to extensively utilize and develop data science, which became the foundation of insurance practices. However, recent advancements in technology, such as AI and ML, have further revolutionized the industry. Mr. Agarwal provides several examples to illustrate these developments. In the logistics sector, tracking vehicles using embedded chips has become a standard practice. If a vehicle deviates from its designated route, immediate actions are triggered, including reporting to the police. This enables timely intervention and potential apprehension of culprits. IoT devices are utilized, such as pressure gauges in ļ¬re hydrant systems. These devices raise an alarm if the pressure falls below a certain threshold. This ensures that ļ¬re hydrants are operational when needed as they tend remain unused and unmaintained for extended periods of time. AI and machine learning are employed extensively in the settlement of health insurance claims. Past data is analysed to identify potential fraudulent claims. Based on this analysis, the system triggers investigations into suspicious cases, thus aiding in determining their validity. Mr. Agarwal emphasizes that the emerging market in India holds immense potential for the future.
  • 11. Alok Agarwal graduated from IIM Calcutta in 1993 and began his career at ICICI Bank, focusing on corporate ļ¬nance for eight years. In 2001, he joined ICICI Lombard, where he has remained ever since. His work at ICICI Lombard has primarily been in corporate and government business, with a brief stint in overseeing the SME sector. Recently, he has been involved in the retail business, speciļ¬cally targeting emerging markets beyond 20 cities for motor insurance and beyond 40 cities for health and SME insurance. During his 30-year tenure with the ICICI Group, Mr. Agarwal has witnessed a remarkable growth in both the industry and the company. The general insurance sector, which had 10,000 policyholders when he joined, has now expanded to over 32.7 million policies as on March 31, 2023. ICICI Lombard itself has achieved a premium of approximately 20,000 units, reļ¬‚ecting the industry's evolution. Initially, the general insurance sector had four public sector companies and two niche companies like IRCTC. Currently, there are 31 companies in the sector, with pending licenses awaiting approval from IRDAI. This signiļ¬cant growth reļ¬‚ects the industry's rapid expansion and notable changes. Health insurance has undergone a substantial transformation over the past two decades, becoming the largest segment in the industry and surpassing motor insurance. Technological advancements have played a signiļ¬cant role in shaping the industry during Mr. Agarwal's active involvement. A VISIONARY LEADER
  • 12. Digital platforms are utilized for inspecting vehicles when insurance is due. Customers capture photographs of speciļ¬c points in their vehicles, and the system utilizes AI to determine the insurability of the vehicle. This streamlines the process and improves eļ¬ƒciency. ICICI Lombard, along with the industry, has been pioneering various technological innovations in these areas, utilizing technology extensively to enhance operations and provide better services. Client Assistance Initiatives Mr. Agarwal highlights several ways in which ICICI Lombard assists its clients. Firstly, by identifying and eliminating fraudulent clients, the company ensures that honest customers do not bear the burden of fraudulent claims, resulting in lower prices for them. This service aims to protect the interests of genuine policyholders. Secondly, ICICI Lombard oļ¬€ers convenience through virtual vehicle and factory inspections. By utilizing technology, customers no longer have to wait for physical inspections by surveyors, signiļ¬cantly reducing turnaround time. ICICI Lombard also offers value- added services such as IoT and telematics-based solutions.
  • 13. Thirdly, the company provides a seamless experience to customers by oļ¬€ering both digital and physical channels. Customers can choose the virtual channel for insurance purchase and servicing, with the option of receiving physical assistance if needed. This approach enhances convenience and accessibility for clients. ICICI Lombard also oļ¬€ers value-added services such as IoT and telematics-based solutions. These services leverage technology to enhance coverage and provide additional beneļ¬ts to customers. Overcoming Distribution Challenges Mr. Agarwal identiļ¬es the major challenge faced by ICICI Lombard when entering the insurance industry. They had to compete with four public sector companies that had extensive distribution networks through their own oļ¬ƒces, making it diļ¬ƒcult for ICICI Lombard to establish a comparable presence without incurring excessive costs. To overcome this challenge, the company implemented various initiatives. They introduced an e-channel for sourcing business, allowing customers to access insurance services through virtual platforms. Additionally, claims were processed remotely to enhance convenience for policyholders. ICICI Lombard also established virtual oļ¬ƒces, enabling employees to work from home while being equipped with the necessary technological facilities and gadgets. Currently, the company operates 305 branches, providing a distribution footprint that matches that of public sector companies. Recognizing connectivity issues in rural areas, ICICI Lombard devised an oļ¬„ine/online mode known as the ILPOS system. This system enables agents to work oļ¬„ine throughout the day and synchronize their data with the company's system once a day. This approach addresses challenges such as power cuts and unreliable internet connectivity prevalent in smaller towns and cities. Transforming Customer Experience ICICI Lombard has introduced personalized services to enhance the customer experience, such as IL TakeCare (ILTC), a health app with multiple features. One notable feature is the ability to provide vital parameters like blood pressure, pulse rate, heart rate, and oxygen content with just a face scan within two minutes. ILTC also enables users to schedule appointments with doctors, conduct video and teleconsultations, purchase medicines virtually through e- medicine facilities, and arrange home-based blood tests and sample collection. Its one stop digital solution IL TakeCare app has over 5.6 million downloads till date, making it a signiļ¬cant technological oļ¬€ering in the insurance industry. Additionally, ICICI Lombard allows customers to purchase other policies such as motor and travel insurance through the app, which continues to evolve and expand its capabilities. Another noteworthy initiative undertaken by ICICI Lombard is the migration of their core systems to the cloud, making them the ļ¬rst large company in the insurance industry to do so. This cloud migration has resulted in reduced system downtime, increased stability, and enhanced agility, signiļ¬cantly improving the reliability and speed of their operations. In terms of claim approvals for health insurance, ICICI Lombard employs an AI-powered system that approves estimates sent by hospitals in approximately 85% of cases. This automated approval process, based on the provided hospital data, often takes minutes or even seconds, minimizing turnaround time and providing added convenience for customers. Through these technological advancements and streamlined processes, ICICI Lombard aims to provide personalized and eļ¬ƒcient services to its customers, prioritizing their health and well-being while ensuring a seamless experience. Unleashing Potential While there is already a signiļ¬cant amount of business in the top 20 cities in India, the penetration of insurance products like motor insurance, health insurance, and travel
  • 14. insurance is increasing rapidly in smaller regions and rural areas. Mr. Agarwal emphasizes that the emerging market in India holds immense potential for the future. Companies that perform well in this segment have the opportunity to become market leaders in the future. Therefore, it is crucial for any company aspiring to be a signiļ¬cant player to have a strong presence in rural areas. India has over 700 districts, and each district headquarter represents distinctive business potential. Even remote areas like hilly states, Jammu and Kashmir, and the north-eastern regions have shown promising business potential. The key is to reach out to people where they are, irrespective of their wealth status. While some may opt for small-ticket insurance, with a population of over 1.4 billion, there is substantial opportunity for insurance penetration. Globally speaking, even poorer countries have higher insurance penetration rates compared to India. Therefore, it is important to penetrate deep into the hinterlands to tap into India's demographic dividend, reaching the masses in the most remote areas. This approach has become a signiļ¬cant part of ICICI Lombard's overall momentum. Expanding insurance coverage in rural and emerging markets not only beneļ¬ts the insurance industry but also contributes to the development of healthcare infrastructure. When people have access to aļ¬€ordable healthcare through insurance, the overall health infrastructure tends to improve. Currently, more than 60% of health expenditures in India are out-of-pocket expenses, mainly focused on outpatient care. This indicates a signiļ¬cant opportunity for health insurance and outpatient services in the country. By establishing a robust distribution network in emerging markets, insurance companies can eļ¬€ectively cater to this segment. To successfully distribute insurance products in these markets, various channels need to be developed. This includes traditional channels like agencies and brokers, as well as partnerships with regional NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies), regional cooperative banks, and agricultural societies. A diversiļ¬ed approach is necessary to get across to these markets successfully and provide insurance coverage to the underserved populations in rural and emerging areas. Revitalizing the Insurance Landscape Mr. Agarwal acknowledges the recent reforms introduced by IRDA and highlights their signiļ¬cance. He mentions the following key reforms: ā€¢ Bima Sugum App: The launch of an app provides a convenient platform for individuals to purchase various types of insurance policies such as motor insurance, health insurance, and travel insurance. This digital platform has the potential to be transformative, similar to the Uniļ¬ed Payments Interface (UPI) in the banking sector. ā€¢ Expansion of Corporate Agents and Insurance Marketing Firms: Previously, corporate agents could work with a maximum of three insurance companies, and insurance marketing ļ¬rms could work with two insurance companies. The reform now allows them to work with up to nine and six insurance companies, respectively. This expansion enhances market access for these intermediaries, fostering greater competition and consumer choice. ā€¢ Rural Penetration Initiatives: IRDA has allocated states to insurance companies to focus on increasing penetration in rural areas. A speciļ¬c product called "Bima Vistar" has been introduced, which combines life insurance, critical illness insurance, accident insurance, and property insurance. The recruitment criteria for intermediaries called "Bima Vahak" has been broadened, allowing individuals with a class 5 pass qualiļ¬cation to become agents. This reform is expected to signiļ¬cantly increase insurance penetration in the rural market. ā€¢ Expense Management and Commission Guidelines: IRDA has introduced expense management guidelines and revised commission guidelines for insurers. The guidelines provide a single expense management limit of 30% or 35% (without sub-limits for each business segment) based on the type of insurance business.
  • 15. These guidelines promote ease of doing business and are expected to improve insurance penetration. ā€¢ Use and File Guidelines: Previously, every insurance product had to be ļ¬led with the regulator for approval before it could be used in the market. The reform now allows self-approval by the internal committee called the Product Management Committee, enabling insurers to use the product and subsequently ļ¬le it with the regulator. This change streamlines the product approval process, facilitating faster product launches. These reforms aim to enhance the insurance sector's ease of doing business, promote competition, expand market access, and improve insurance penetration, both in rural areas and across the country. Fostering Growth and Enhancing Social Welfare Mr. Agarwal expresses optimism regarding the future growth of the insurance sector in India. He acknowledges that the current insurance penetration in the country is relatively low compared to middle-income and poorer countries. However, with the recent reforms and anticipated future reforms, he expects insurance penetration to increase signiļ¬cantly. The insurance sector in India has shown an average growth rate of around 16% over the past two decades. With the recent reforms and the potential for further reforms, Mr. Agarwal believes that the growth of the sector will accelerate. He emphasizes the importance of increasing insurance penetration in India, as the country has been recognized as an underinsured and under-pensioned society. By improving insurance penetration, the social welfare of the community can be enhanced. ICICI Lombard is well positioned to capitalize on the recent reforms and contribute to the growth of the insurance sector. The company will continue to launch new products, expand its distribution network, and invest in technology to serve its customers better. The focus will be on providing customers with ease of doing business, streamlined claim processes, and making a marked positive impact in their lives. Empowering Emerging Leaders in the Insurance Sector Mr. Agarwal advises emerging leaders in the insurance sector to approach the industry with a mindset that focuses on serving people, particularly those in distress. He emphasizes that proļ¬tability and growth potential should not be the sole considerations when entering the sector. Instead, aspiring leaders should also evaluate the social impact they can make and their willingness to create that impact. Having a strong technological foundation is crucial in the insurance sector, as it involves working with large amounts of data. Therefore, emerging leaders should be technologically proļ¬cient and well-versed in data science. Additionally, Mr. Agarwal highlights the importance of empathy towards customers, as they typically seek insurance assistance during diļ¬ƒcult times. Leaders should prioritize serving the needs of customers rather than solely pursuing proļ¬ts. To download the IL TakeCare app, scan the QR code
