CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Introduction to Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited (BAGIC) :
Company Profile Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited (BAGIC) is a joint
venture between Bajaj Finserv Limited and Allianz SE, with the former presently holding 74%
of the paid up capital of Rs 110 Crores. The Allianz group is one of the strongest players in the
global insurance industry, with an established presence in the property and casualty (P&C), life
and reinsurance businesses. Allianz SE presently carries an Aa3 rating from Moody’s for
insurance financial strength. Apart from the general insurance venture, Bajaj Finserv Ltd. and
Allianz have also joined hands for a life insurance joint venture.
BAGIC is mainly present in the motor insurance and health insurance segments which
accounted for 58% and 15% respectively of total Gross Direct Premium Written (GDPW) in
9MFY2016 ( 56% and 15% of the GDPW respectively in FY2015) while the balance, is spread
across fire, marine, crop etc. segments. During FY2015, BAGIC’s strong growth (of 15.8%
YoY) in GDPW was driven by the crop insurance segment, although partly cushioned by the
slower in the group health segment and persistent dullness in the motor insurance segment..
BAGIC’s distribution network maintains a healthy balance across direct agents, bank
assurance, brokers and alternate channels such as online, and tele-calling. Over the last few
years, The Company’s investment portfolio continues to satisfactorily comply with all the
regulatory requirements across asset classes/instruments. BAGIC does not have any equity
exposure on its books. The company has been maintaining solvency ratios at much higher
levels than is mandated by regulations.
1.1 Definition of insurance:
1.Justice Lawrence defines "Insurance is contract by which the one party, in consideration of
price paid to him adequate to the risk, becomes security to the other that he shall not suffers
2
loss, damage or prejudice by the happening of the perils specified to certain things which may
be exposed to them.
2. Riegel and miller defines "Insurance is social device whereby uncertain risks of individuals
may be combined in group and thus made more certain, small periodic contribution by the
individual providing a fund out of which those who suffer loss may be reimbursed.
1.2 Ratonales of the study :
The project titled as ‘The Scope and Market Potential for SME’s in Pune’ was carried out in
Pune, for Scope of insurance in Educational institutes which is a compound package that
provides multi beneficiary facilities for educational institutes and Students in the educational
Institute. The project is to understand the different areas of competitive advantage in
Educational Institute. The basis to study potential market was formed by gathering data majorly
by two means, i.e. through websites and through field work which included paying visits to
Educational Institutes Directly and having face-to-face interaction with them and
understanding their perceptions about Insurance and about Bajaj too.
A questionnaire was designed and was used as a data collection instrument to record responses
from the respondents. The survey revealed requirement of various additional facilities
including core facilities for Educational Institutes that were not existing in most of the
insurances by the Insurance companies. The survey also threw light whether there is a potential
in the market for this type of insurance or not. The analysis helped in identifying the sectors/
domains/ customers that use or may use this product.
1.3 What is industry all about ?

Government Initiatives
The Union Budget of 2017-18 has made the following provisions for the Insurance Sector:
 The Budget has made provisions for paying huge subsidies in the premiums of Pradhan
MantriFasalBimaYojana (PMFBY) and the number of beneficiaries will increase to 50
per cent in the next two years from the present level of 20 per cent. As part of PMFBY,
Rs 9,000 crore (US$ 1.35 billion) has been allocated for crop insurance in 2017-18.
 By providing tax relief to citizens earning up to Rs 5 lakh (US$ 7500), the government
will be able to increase the number of taxpayers. Life insurers will be able to sell them
insurance products, to further reduce their tax burden in future. As many of these people
were understating their incomes, they were not able to get adequate insurance cover.
 Demand for insurance products may rise as people’s preference shifts from formal
investment products post demonetization.
 The Budget has attempted to hasten the implementation of the Digital India initiative.
As people in rural areas become more tech savvy, they will use digital channels of
insurers to buy policies.
The Government of India has taken a number of initiatives to boost the insurance industry.
Some of them are as follows:
 The Union Cabinet has approved the public listing of five Government-owned general
insurance companies and reducing the Government’s stake to 75 per cent from 100 per
cent, which is expected to bring higher levels of transparency and accountability, and
enable the companies to raise resources from the capital market to meet their fund
requirements.
 The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) plans to issue
redesigned initial public offering (IPO) guidelines for insurance companies in India,
which are to looking to divest equity through the IPO route.
 IRDAI has allowed insurers to invest up to 10 per cent in additional tier 1 (AT1) bonds,
that are issued by banks to augment their tier 1 capital, in order to expand the pool of
eligible investors for the banks.
7
 IRDAI has formed two committees to explore and suggest ways to promote e-
commerce in the sector in order to increase insurance penetration and bring financial
inclusion.
 IRDAI has formulated a draft regulation, IRDAI (Obligations of Insures to Rural and
Social Sectors) Regulations, 2015, in pursuance of the amendments brought about
under section 32 B of the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015. These regulations
impose obligations on insurers towards providing insurance cover to the rural and
economically weaker sections of the population.
 The Government of Assam has launched the Atal-AmritAbhiyan health insurance
scheme, which would offer comprehensive coverage for six disease groups to below-
poverty line (BPL) and above-poverty line (APL) families, with annual income below
Rs 500,000 (US$ 7,500).
 The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a first of its kind banking and insurance
services helpline for farmers where individuals can lodge their complaints on a toll free
number.
 The select committee of the Rajya Sabha gave its approval to increase stake of foreign
investors to 49 per cent equity investment in insurance companies.
 Government of India has launched an insurance pool to the tune of Rs 1,500 crore (US$
220.08 million) which is mandatory under the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act
(CLND) in a bid to offset financial burden of foreign nuclear suppliers.
 Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) has cleared 15 Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) proposals including large investments in the insurance sector by Nippon Life
Insurance, AIA International, Sun Life and Aviva Life leading to a cumulative
investment of Rs 7,262 crore (US$ 1.09 billion).
 IRDAI has given initial approval to open branches in India to Switzerland-based Swiss
Re, French-based Scor SE, and two Germany-based reinsurers namely, Hannover Re
and Munich Re.

Road Ahead
 India’s insurable population is anticipated to touch 750 million in 2020, with life
expectancy reaching 74 years. Furthermore, life insurance is projected to comprise 35
per cent of total savings by the end of this decade, as against 26 per cent in 2009-10.
 The future looks promising for the life insurance industry with several changes in
regulatory framework which will lead to further change in the way the industry
conducts its business and engages with its customers.
 Demographic factors such as growing middle class, young insurable population and
growing awareness of the need for protection and retirement planning will support the
growth of Indian life insurance.
 Exchange Rate Used: INR 1 = US$ 0.015 as on February 9, 2017
Recent
 As of 2016, life insurance sector has 29 private players in comparison to only four in FY02

While LIC has been around for a long time and is an extremely profit making venture, some of
the private players have just about started making profits on a year-on-year basis. It will take
some time before most of them break even. The life insurance business has a long gestation
period and it may take more than a decade to break even – so all players would be ready for

List of Non-Life Insurance Companies :
The core business of almost all non-life insurance companies in India are loss making. It is
only through investment income that these companies report profits. This is not a desirable
scenario and we should see a lot of upward price revisions in the coming years – some this has
already started. With an entry of every new player we see the effort to grab market share and

LITERATURE SURVEY

CHAPTER 3
LITERATURE SURVEY
3.1 Market Potential
Market potential describes the maximum capacity of a defined market for a specific product /
a service within a defined time period. In this context market refers to the total of all potential
consumers with a certain need or desire who are willing or able to satisfy this need or this desire
through the purchase of products / services. The sales potential can then be derived from the
results of the market potential analysis. Market potential consists of the upper limit of total
demand which would theoretically be converged on at (infinite) rise of marketing expenditures
of all relevant providers.
Planning, development and introduction of new products is always associated with uncertainty.
Specific knowledge regarding potential target consumers and their probable spending on the
new product provides you with more certainty concerning the market success of new product
developments. We can offer you precise and reliable information in this area after conducting
a market potential analysis. Market potential analysis is especially used for growth or
unsaturated markets for which “market size” cannot simply be estimated through the actual
market volume. Market potential analysis offers decision support for specific questions for
which such as:
a) Exploration of potential (target) markets
b) Determination of company locations
c) Evaluation of ideas (screening)
d) Designation of sales area
21
3.1.1 Definitions of Market Potential
“The maximum achievable combined sales volume for all sellers of a specific product during
a specific time period, in a specific market.”
“An estimate of the maximum possible sales of a commodity, a group of commodity, or a
service for an entire industry in a market during a stated period.”
3.1.2 Introduction
The market forecast shows expected market demand, not maximum market demand. For the
latter, we need to visualize the level of market demand resulting from “very high” level of
industry marketing expenditure, where further increase in marketing effort would have little
effect in stimulating further demand. Market Potential is the limit approached by the market
demand as industry marketing expenditures approach infinity for a given marketing
environment. Although the world is becoming flatter, there is still some roundedness. However
much nations and regions integrate their trading policies and standards, each nation still has
some unique features. Its readiness for different product and services, and its attractiveness as
a market, depends on its economic, political-legal, and cultural environment.
The phrase “for a given market environment” is crucial. Consider the market potential for
automobiles. It’s higher during prosperity than during a recession. Market analyses distinguish
between the position of the market demand function and movement along it. Companies cannot
do anything about the position of the market demand function, which is determined by
marketing environment. However, they influence their particular location the function when
they decide how much to spend on marketing.
Companies interested in market potential have a special interest in the product penetration
percentage, which is the percentage of ownership or use of a product or service in population.
Companies assume that the lower the product-penetration percentage, higher the market
22
potential, although this assumes that everyone will eventually being the market for every
product.
Companies can prepare as many as 90 different types of demand estimated for six different
products levels, five space levels, and three time period. Each demand measure serves a specific
purpose. A company might forecast short-run demand for a particular product for the purpose
Of ordering raw materials, planning production, and burrowing cash. It might forecast regional
demand for its major production line to decide whether to set up regional distribution.
The size of a market hinges on the number of buyers who might exist for a particular market
offer. But there are many productive ways to break down the market:
 The potential market is the set of consumers who profess a sufficient level of interest
in a market offer. However, consumer interest is not enough to define a market for the
marketer unless they also have sufficient income and access to the product.
 The available market is the set of consumers who have interest, income and access to a
particular offer. For some market offers, the company or government may restrict sales
to certain groups. For example, a particular state might ban motorcycle sales to anyone
less than 21 years of age. Eligible adults constitute the qualified available market- the
set of consumers who have interest, income, access and qualifications for the particular
market offer.
 The target market is the part of the qualified available market the company decides to
pursue. The company might decide to concentrate its marketing and distribution efforts
on the South-Asian market.
 The penetrated market is the set of consumers who are buying the company’s products.
23
3.1.3 Total market potential
Total market potential is the maximum amount of sales that might be available to all the firms
in an industry during a given level of industry marketing effort and environmental conditions.
A common way to estimate total market potential is as follows:
Total market potential = Potential numbers of buyer ×Average quantity purchased by a
buyer × The Price.
3.1.4 Area Market Potential
Companies face the problem of selecting the best territories and allocating their marketing
budget optimally among these territories. Therefore, they need to estimate the market potential
of different districts, towns, cities, states and nations. Two major methods of assessing area
market potential are available:
 The market-buildup method
This is used primarily by consumer marketers.
 Testing the Market Potential Customers
When selling a product what is the most important part of the business model? Who
buys the product uses it and puts money in the inventor’s bank? The customers who
will be purchasing product are the most important part of an inventor market approach
instead of saying “If build it, they will come, “the inventor should ask, “If I build it,
will they come?” and “Why?”
3.1.5 Who is the Product For?
Inventor must decide exactly who will want this new product – the target market is defined by
breaking of the overall market into segments, groups of potential buyers who shares certain
characteristics what are their demographics? Knowing this vital information not only help the
24
inventor know who potential customers are, but also leads the way for all strategic marketing
endeavors understanding how much to charge, what payments to take, what product literature
should look like and were to sale the invention all arise from knowing the customers.
3.1.6 Why will they buy it?
What is the unique, compelling benefit of the project? This is usually the trickiest question for
technology – oriented people because they tend to think of the technology itself as the answer
the truth is that the people buy products, not a feature what need does the product fill, and do
prospective customer have this need? This seems obvious, but false perceptions of the market
can prove a costly mistake inventors should survey potential customers for thoughts on the
supposed need more than likely inventors will have a good idea of the product potential because
they saw the need for the invention in the first place but it does not hurt to be cautious, may be
other people don’t have the same need the inventor has projected.
3.1.7 Why will they buy it for you?
Is there something special about the product an inventor is offering? Must set themselves apart
from their competitions and find the reasons their customer should buy from them this is their
source of competitive advantage is the product better looking, a better value more personal
higher quality, smaller, lighter, more versatile, or better designed ? Identified the key
characteristics about the product that are highly value by the target market and make it the
reason why they from you.
Can customer go without the product or by buying it from somewhere else? The inventor needs
to have a strong idea of why people will come to them for this new product, what makes them
special recognizing this niche prove to be price less when competing against other in a race to
market if one person has a better grasp of why they are special and will succeed, they will
overtake their competition because others will believe in them as well.

3.4 About General Insurance Corporation:
General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) was incorporated on 22 November 1972 under
the Companies Act, 1956 as a private company limited by shares.GIC was formed for the
26
purpose of superintending, controlling and carrying on the business of general insurance. As
soon as GIC was formed, GOI transferred all the shares it held of the general insurance
companies to GIC. Simultaneously, the nationalised undertakings were transferred to Indian
insurance companies. After a process of mergers among Indian insurance companies, four
companies were left as fully owned subsidiary companies of GIC:
 National Insurance Company Limited
 The New India Assurance Company Limited
 The Oriental Insurance Company Limited
 United India Insurance Company Limited.
The next landmark happened on 19th April 2000, when the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority Act, 1999 (IRDAA) came into force. This Act also introduced
amendment to GIBNA and the Insurance Act, 1938. An amendment to GIBNA removed the
exclusive privilege of GIC and its subsidiaries carrying on general insurance in India. In
November 2000, GIC was renotified as the Indian Reinsurer and through administrative
instruction, its supervisory role over the four subsidiaries was ended. With the General
Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Amendment Act 2002 (40 of 2002) coming into force
from March 21, 2003; GIC ceased to be a holding company of its subsidiaries. The ownership
of the four erstwhile subsidiary companies and also of the General Insurance Corporation of
India was vested with Government of India.GIC Re is a wholly owned company of Government
of India.
3.5 Review of literature for generalinsurance :

CHAPTER 5
RESEARCHMETHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research is an intensive and purposeful search for knowledge and understanding of social and
physical phenomenon .Research is scientific activity undertaken to establish something, a fact,
a theory a principle or an application .One can also define research as a scientific and systematic
search for pertinent information on a specific topic .In fact research is art of scientific
investigation.
According To John W.Best ‘Research is the systematic and objective analysis and recording
of controlled observation that may lead to development of generalization, principles or theories
resulting prediction and possibly ultimate control of events.
TYPE OF RESEARCH
There are three different types of research.
 Descriptive Research
 Exploratory Research
 Casual/ Experimental
1.) Descriptive Research:
Descriptive research includes surveys and fact finding enquiries of different kinds.The major
purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs as it exists at present.The
main characteristic of this research is that the researcher has no control over the variables; he
can only report what has happened or what is happening.
33
2.) Exploratory Research:
Exploratory research attempts to discover general information about some topic that is not well
understood by the marketer. The basic difference between exploratory and descriptive research
is in the research design. Exploratory research follows a format that is less structured and more
flexible than descriptive research. This approach works well when the marketer does not have
an understanding of the topic or the topic is new.
3.) Casual Research:
In this form of research the marketer tries to determine if one variable affects another variable.
Marketers use this approach to test marketing scenarios such as what might happen to product
sales if changes are made to product design.
 Research Design
An integral component of a research design is the sampling plan. Specifically, it addresses
three questions:
 Whom to survey (The sample unit)?
 How many to survey (The sample size)?
 And how to select them (The sampling procedure)?
Making a census study of the entire universe will be impossible on the account of limitations
of time, resources and money. Hence sampling becomes inevitable. A sample is only a portion
of the universe of population. According to Yule, a famous statistician, the object of sampling
is to get maximum information about the parent population with minimum effort. Properly
done, sampling produces representative data of the entire population.
SAMPLING
Sampling is the act, process, or technique of selecting a suitable sample, or a representative
part of a population for the purpose of determining parameters or characteristics of the whole
population.
34
UNIVERSE
Collection, population, or set of entities, items, or quantities (grouped together on the basis
of common or defining characteristics or features) from which a representative sample is
drawn for comparison or measurement. The sampling universe is the totality of items/events
from which you can select or sample for statistical analysis and description.
SAMPLE FRAME
The sampling frame means the list of all the units comprising the population from which a
sample is to be drawn.
SAMPLE UNIT
A single section selected to research and gather statistics of the whole. For example, when
studying a group of college students, a single student could be a sampling unit.
The sample units for this study were the different Institutes in Pune City
Technique of Sampling
Sampling is broadly classified into two techniques:
1) Probability
2) Non-Probability
Probability Sampling is also known as ‘random sampling’ or ‘chance sampling’. Under this
sampling design every item of the universe has an equal chance, or probability of being chosen
for sample. This implies that the section of the sample items is independent of the persons
making the study - that is the sampling operation is controlled objectively so that the items will
be chosen strictly at random. Probability samples may take the form of:
 Simple Random Sampling
 Systematic Sampling
 Stratified Sampling
 Cluster and Area Sampling
 Sequential Sampling
 Multi stage Sampling
35
5.1.2 Non Probability Sampling:
Non Probability Sampling is also known as deliberate sampling, purposive and judgment
sampling. Non-probability sampling is that which does not provide every item in the universe
with a known chance of being included in the sample. Non-probability sampling is of the
following type:
 Convenience Sampling
 Quota Sampling
 Judgment Sampling
 Snowball Sampling
 Research Process

Secondary Data Collection
Technique
 Internet
 White Papers
Data collection
Utmost care need to be taken while collecting the data, the data collected constitutes the base
and foundation of the observation and analysis. This helps in the result process; if the data is
inadequate the whole analysis may be faulty.
Depending upon the sources data and be classified under two categories:
1. Primary Data
This is the data, which is collected from the survey of respondents.This data can be collected
either with a structured questionnaire or interviews and data can be analyzed. Primary data is
the information directly from the respondents,more over exact response of the person
interviewed can be recorded.
In this project the primary data is collected through means of Questionnaires and
Interviewing.
2. Secondary data.
Similarly to primary data, secondary data are something which is collected from secondary
sources like printed material, websites, etc. These are data which are already available either
published or printed in past.
Example:
 Journals
 Company records
 Company annual reports
 Trade journals
 Magazines and Publications
 Printed material from government department
37
In this project the secondary data is collected from Company Websites, Internet, White
papers.
Data collection tool
The data collection tools used in this research project is:
1. Questionnaire :
A questionnaire consists of a set of questions presented to respondents for answers .The
respondents read the questions, interpret what is expected and then write down the answers
themselves .It is called an interview schedule when the researcher asks the questions (and if
necessary, explain them) and record the respondent's reply on the interview schedule.
In this project 10 questions were prepared keeping in mind the title of the project.
Analysis techniques
Data analysis is the process of gathering, modeling and transforming data with the goal of high
lightning useful information, suggesting conclusion and supporting decision making. Data
analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety
of names, in business, science and other social domains.
Statistical Tools used for analyzing the data:
Percentage Method
Percentages are used for making comparison between two or more series of data. This tool was
used to know the percentages, to which the respondents had responded for each of the
parameters for the various questions in the questionnaire.
Pictorial Analysis
Bar graphs and Pie charts are used to depict the data in pictorial format.

CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
51
CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
Insurance sector in India is growing at a very high rate and it is expected to grow more in future.
This study has made an attempt to understand various risk involved in insurance sector and
how to manage those risks. I observed that most of the people buy insurance police under
someone’s influence and not according to their requirement. Also there is very low awareness
about need analysis calculation. Many people do not pay their premium on time. The project
was also done to study the scope of insurance business in the educational institutes and SME’s.
I found that the educational institutes can divided into various scales depending on the strength
of the students and staff but this standard was independent of the possibility of having the
institute insured. And SMEs can be divide into turnover or the scale of business. The institutes
who care about their student, staff, workers and reputation have maintained their standards are
more likely to be the customer even with lower scale of strength. Customer satisfaction plays
an important role in increasing the market share of the company and it is very hard to get. So
insurance companies should sell their insurance policies according to needs of the customer in
this way they can easily acquire customer’s loyalty.
I also came across the fact that people are getting aware about the insurance slowly and
hence the future for insurance companies in educational institutes is bright for better chance
of development by offering better and innovative products to the institutes time-to-time.

CHAPTER 9
SUGGESTIONS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
53
CHAPTER 10
SUGGESTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The awareness of the company was fairly good but the following steps are suggested:
 For the company to flourish it is important to do good advertising. Personal consultancy to
the individuals.
 Should also concentrate more on internal branding rather than just focusing on earrings and
profits.
 Should focus on innovating micro products and try to enter into rural market where major
part of rural population is untouched and provide opportunity for business expansion.
 Should try to simplify the product more than present to attract more customer which will
directly increase the ratio of policy holders.

Bajaj Allianz General Insurance

  • 1.
    1 CHAPTER 1 Introduction Introduction toBajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited (BAGIC) : Company Profile Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited (BAGIC) is a joint venture between Bajaj Finserv Limited and Allianz SE, with the former presently holding 74% of the paid up capital of Rs 110 Crores. The Allianz group is one of the strongest players in the global insurance industry, with an established presence in the property and casualty (P&C), life and reinsurance businesses. Allianz SE presently carries an Aa3 rating from Moody’s for insurance financial strength. Apart from the general insurance venture, Bajaj Finserv Ltd. and Allianz have also joined hands for a life insurance joint venture. BAGIC is mainly present in the motor insurance and health insurance segments which accounted for 58% and 15% respectively of total Gross Direct Premium Written (GDPW) in 9MFY2016 ( 56% and 15% of the GDPW respectively in FY2015) while the balance, is spread across fire, marine, crop etc. segments. During FY2015, BAGIC’s strong growth (of 15.8% YoY) in GDPW was driven by the crop insurance segment, although partly cushioned by the slower in the group health segment and persistent dullness in the motor insurance segment.. BAGIC’s distribution network maintains a healthy balance across direct agents, bank assurance, brokers and alternate channels such as online, and tele-calling. Over the last few years, The Company’s investment portfolio continues to satisfactorily comply with all the regulatory requirements across asset classes/instruments. BAGIC does not have any equity exposure on its books. The company has been maintaining solvency ratios at much higher levels than is mandated by regulations. 1.1 Definition of insurance: 1.Justice Lawrence defines "Insurance is contract by which the one party, in consideration of price paid to him adequate to the risk, becomes security to the other that he shall not suffers
  • 2.
    2 loss, damage orprejudice by the happening of the perils specified to certain things which may be exposed to them. 2. Riegel and miller defines "Insurance is social device whereby uncertain risks of individuals may be combined in group and thus made more certain, small periodic contribution by the individual providing a fund out of which those who suffer loss may be reimbursed. 1.2 Ratonales of the study : The project titled as ‘The Scope and Market Potential for SME’s in Pune’ was carried out in Pune, for Scope of insurance in Educational institutes which is a compound package that provides multi beneficiary facilities for educational institutes and Students in the educational Institute. The project is to understand the different areas of competitive advantage in Educational Institute. The basis to study potential market was formed by gathering data majorly by two means, i.e. through websites and through field work which included paying visits to Educational Institutes Directly and having face-to-face interaction with them and understanding their perceptions about Insurance and about Bajaj too. A questionnaire was designed and was used as a data collection instrument to record responses from the respondents. The survey revealed requirement of various additional facilities including core facilities for Educational Institutes that were not existing in most of the insurances by the Insurance companies. The survey also threw light whether there is a potential in the market for this type of insurance or not. The analysis helped in identifying the sectors/ domains/ customers that use or may use this product. 1.3 What is industry all about ? The insurance industry of India consists of 53 insurance companies of which 24 are in life insurance business and 29 are non-life insurers. Among the life insurers, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) is the sole public sector company. Apart from that, among the non-life insurers there are six public sector insurers. In addition to these, there is sole national re-insurer, namely, General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re). Other stakeholders in Indian
  • 3.
    3 Insurance market includeagents (individual and corporate), brokers, surveyors and third party administrators servicing health insurance claims. Out of 29 non-life insurance companies, five private sector insurers are registered to underwrite policies exclusively in health, personal accident and travel insurance segments. They are Star Health and Allied Insurance Company Ltd, Apollo Munich Health Insurance Company Ltd, Max Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd, Religare Health Insurance Company Ltd and Cigna TTK Health Insurance Company Ltd.

As part of PMFBY, Rs 9,000 crore (US$ 1.35 billion) has been allocated for crop insurance in 2017-18.  By providing tax relief to citizens earning up to Rs 5 lakh (US$ 7500), the government will be able to increase the number of taxpayers. Life insurers will be able to sell them insurance products, to further reduce their tax burden in future. As many of these people were understating their incomes, they were not able to get adequate insurance cover.  Demand for insurance products may rise as people’s preference shifts from formal investment products post demonetization.  The Budget has attempted to hasten the implementation of the Digital India initiative. As people in rural areas become more tech savvy, they will use digital channels of insurers to buy policies. The Government of India has taken a number of initiatives to boost the insurance industry. Some of them are as follows:  The Union Cabinet has approved the public listing of five Government-owned general insurance companies and reducing the Government’s stake to 75 per cent from 100 per cent, which is expected to bring higher levels of transparency and accountability, and enable the companies to raise resources from the capital market to meet their fund requirements.  The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) plans to issue redesigned initial public offering (IPO) guidelines for insurance companies in India, which are to looking to divest equity through the IPO route.  IRDAI has allowed insurers to invest up to 10 per cent in additional tier 1 (AT1) bonds, that are issued by banks to augment their tier 1 capital, in order to expand the pool of eligible investors for the banks.

    7  IRDAI hasformed two committees to explore and suggest ways to promote e- commerce in the sector in order to increase insurance penetration and bring financial inclusion.  IRDAI has formulated a draft regulation, IRDAI (Obligations of Insures to Rural and Social Sectors) Regulations, 2015, in pursuance of the amendments brought about under section 32 B of the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015. These regulations impose obligations on insurers towards providing insurance cover to the rural and economically weaker sections of the population.  The Government of Assam has launched the Atal-AmritAbhiyan health insurance scheme, which would offer comprehensive coverage for six disease groups to below- poverty line (BPL) and above-poverty line (APL) families, with annual income below Rs 500,000 (US$ 7,500).  The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a first of its kind banking and insurance services helpline for farmers where individuals can lodge their complaints on a toll free number.  The select committee of the Rajya Sabha gave its approval to increase stake of foreign investors to 49 per cent equity investment in insurance companies.  Government of India has launched an insurance pool to the tune of Rs 1,500 crore (US$ 220.08 million) which is mandatory under the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act (CLND) in a bid to offset financial burden of foreign nuclear suppliers.  Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) has cleared 15 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) proposals including large investments in the insurance sector by Nippon Life Insurance, AIA International, Sun Life and Aviva Life leading to a cumulative investment of Rs 7,262 crore (US$ 1.09 billion).  IRDAI has given initial approval to open branches in India to Switzerland-based Swiss Re, French-based Scor SE, and two Germany-based reinsurers namely, Hannover Re and Munich Re.

Furthermore, life insurance is projected to comprise 35 per cent of total savings by the end of this decade, as against 26 per cent in 2009-10.  The future looks promising for the life insurance industry with several changes in regulatory framework which will lead to further change in the way the industry conducts its business and engages with its customers.  Demographic factors such as growing middle class, young insurable population and growing awareness of the need for protection and retirement planning will support the growth of Indian life insurance.  Exchange Rate Used: INR 1 = US$ 0.015 as on February 9, 2017 Recent  As of 2016, life insurance sector has 29 private players in comparison to only four in FY02  With 70.4 per cent share market share in FY16, LIC continues to be the market leader, followed by SBI (5.1 per cent), ICICI (4.9 per cent) and HDFC (4.1 per cent)

    20 CHAPTER 3 LITERATURE SURVEY 3.1Market Potential Market potential describes the maximum capacity of a defined market for a specific product / a service within a defined time period. In this context market refers to the total of all potential consumers with a certain need or desire who are willing or able to satisfy this need or this desire through the purchase of products / services. The sales potential can then be derived from the results of the market potential analysis. Market potential consists of the upper limit of total demand which would theoretically be converged on at (infinite) rise of marketing expenditures of all relevant providers. Planning, development and introduction of new products is always associated with uncertainty. Specific knowledge regarding potential target consumers and their probable spending on the new product provides you with more certainty concerning the market success of new product developments. We can offer you precise and reliable information in this area after conducting a market potential analysis. Market potential analysis is especially used for growth or unsaturated markets for which “market size” cannot simply be estimated through the actual market volume. Market potential analysis offers decision support for specific questions for which such as: a) Exploration of potential (target) markets b) Determination of company locations c) Evaluation of ideas (screening) d) Designation of sales area
  • 21.
    21 3.1.1 Definitions ofMarket Potential “The maximum achievable combined sales volume for all sellers of a specific product during a specific time period, in a specific market.” “An estimate of the maximum possible sales of a commodity, a group of commodity, or a service for an entire industry in a market during a stated period.” 3.1.2 Introduction The market forecast shows expected market demand, not maximum market demand. For the latter, we need to visualize the level of market demand resulting from “very high” level of industry marketing expenditure, where further increase in marketing effort would have little effect in stimulating further demand. Market Potential is the limit approached by the market demand as industry marketing expenditures approach infinity for a given marketing environment. Although the world is becoming flatter, there is still some roundedness. However much nations and regions integrate their trading policies and standards, each nation still has some unique features. Its readiness for different product and services, and its attractiveness as a market, depends on its economic, political-legal, and cultural environment. The phrase “for a given market environment” is crucial. Consider the market potential for automobiles. It’s higher during prosperity than during a recession. Market analyses distinguish between the position of the market demand function and movement along it. Companies cannot do anything about the position of the market demand function, which is determined by marketing environment. However, they influence their particular location the function when they decide how much to spend on marketing. Companies interested in market potential have a special interest in the product penetration percentage, which is the percentage of ownership or use of a product or service in population. Companies assume that the lower the product-penetration percentage, higher the market
  • 22.
    22 potential, although thisassumes that everyone will eventually being the market for every product. Companies can prepare as many as 90 different types of demand estimated for six different products levels, five space levels, and three time period. Each demand measure serves a specific purpose. A company might forecast short-run demand for a particular product for the purpose Of ordering raw materials, planning production, and burrowing cash. It might forecast regional demand for its major production line to decide whether to set up regional distribution. The size of a market hinges on the number of buyers who might exist for a particular market offer. But there are many productive ways to break down the market:  The potential market is the set of consumers who profess a sufficient level of interest in a market offer. However, consumer interest is not enough to define a market for the marketer unless they also have sufficient income and access to the product.  The available market is the set of consumers who have interest, income and access to a particular offer. For some market offers, the company or government may restrict sales to certain groups. For example, a particular state might ban motorcycle sales to anyone less than 21 years of age. Eligible adults constitute the qualified available market- the set of consumers who have interest, income, access and qualifications for the particular market offer.  The target market is the part of the qualified available market the company decides to pursue. The company might decide to concentrate its marketing and distribution efforts on the South-Asian market.  The penetrated market is the set of consumers who are buying the company’s products.
  • 23.
    23 3.1.3 Total marketpotential Total market potential is the maximum amount of sales that might be available to all the firms in an industry during a given level of industry marketing effort and environmental conditions. A common way to estimate total market potential is as follows: Total market potential = Potential numbers of buyer ×Average quantity purchased by a buyer × The Price. 3.1.4 Area Market Potential Companies face the problem of selecting the best territories and allocating their marketing budget optimally among these territories. Therefore, they need to estimate the market potential of different districts, towns, cities, states and nations. Two major methods of assessing area market potential are available:  The market-buildup method This is used primarily by consumer marketers.  Testing the Market Potential Customers When selling a product what is the most important part of the business model? Who buys the product uses it and puts money in the inventor’s bank? The customers who will be purchasing product are the most important part of an inventor market approach instead of saying “If build it, they will come, “the inventor should ask, “If I build it, will they come?” and “Why?” 3.1.5 Who is the Product For? Inventor must decide exactly who will want this new product – the target market is defined by breaking of the overall market into segments, groups of potential buyers who shares certain characteristics what are their demographics? Knowing this vital information not only help the
  • 24.
    24 inventor know whopotential customers are, but also leads the way for all strategic marketing endeavors understanding how much to charge, what payments to take, what product literature should look like and were to sale the invention all arise from knowing the customers. 3.1.6 Why will they buy it? What is the unique, compelling benefit of the project? This is usually the trickiest question for technology – oriented people because they tend to think of the technology itself as the answer the truth is that the people buy products, not a feature what need does the product fill, and do prospective customer have this need? This seems obvious, but false perceptions of the market can prove a costly mistake inventors should survey potential customers for thoughts on the supposed need more than likely inventors will have a good idea of the product potential because they saw the need for the invention in the first place but it does not hurt to be cautious, may be other people don’t have the same need the inventor has projected. 3.1.7 Why will they buy it for you? Is there something special about the product an inventor is offering? Must set themselves apart from their competitions and find the reasons their customer should buy from them this is their source of competitive advantage is the product better looking, a better value more personal higher quality, smaller, lighter, more versatile, or better designed ? Identified the key characteristics about the product that are highly value by the target market and make it the reason why they from you. Can customer go without the product or by buying it from somewhere else? The inventor needs to have a strong idea of why people will come to them for this new product, what makes them special recognizing this niche prove to be price less when competing against other in a race to market if one person has a better grasp of why they are special and will succeed, they will overtake their competition because others will believe in them as well.

    25 3.2 Segmentation Market segmentationconsist of taking total heterogeneous market for a product and dividing it into several sub market or sub segment each of which tend to be homogeneous in all significant steps. In this segmentation of Pune city market was done by geographical as well as demographic wherein various region and areas are consider as well as income level of consumer was taken into account. This project is done by concentrating on specific area who is the prospective customers. 3.3 Target Market After evaluating different segment a company must now decide which and how many segment it will target. A target market consists of a set of buyers who share common needs or characteristics that the company decides to serve. In this project target market are commercial places and individual customers. 3.3.1 Objects behind the target market segment  To locate market opportunities.  To find out varying specific needs of different types of customers  To identify the sub group in the market.  To identify new profitable segment which deserve special attentions and offer potential for business? 3.4 About General Insurance Corporation: General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) was incorporated on 22 November 1972 under the Companies Act, 1956 as a private company limited by shares.GIC was formed for the
  • 26.
    26 purpose of superintending,controlling and carrying on the business of general insurance. As soon as GIC was formed, GOI transferred all the shares it held of the general insurance companies to GIC. Simultaneously, the nationalised undertakings were transferred to Indian insurance companies. After a process of mergers among Indian insurance companies, four companies were left as fully owned subsidiary companies of GIC:  National Insurance Company Limited  The New India Assurance Company Limited  The Oriental Insurance Company Limited  United India Insurance Company Limited. The next landmark happened on 19th April 2000, when the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 (IRDAA) came into force. This Act also introduced amendment to GIBNA and the Insurance Act, 1938. An amendment to GIBNA removed the exclusive privilege of GIC and its subsidiaries carrying on general insurance in India. In November 2000, GIC was renotified as the Indian Reinsurer and through administrative instruction, its supervisory role over the four subsidiaries was ended. With the General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Amendment Act 2002 (40 of 2002) coming into force from March 21, 2003; GIC ceased to be a holding company of its subsidiaries. The ownership of the four erstwhile subsidiary companies and also of the General Insurance Corporation of India was vested with Government of India.GIC Re is a wholly owned company of Government of India. 3.5 Review of literature for generalinsurance : In order to find out the gaps in research, the literature already available pertaining to the problem is to be reviewed. The literature on general Insurance Corporation in India includes books, compendia, study reports and articles published by academicians and researchers in different periodicals.

TYPE OF RESEARCH There are three different types of research.  Descriptive Research  Exploratory Research  Casual/ Experimental 1.) Descriptive Research: Descriptive research includes surveys and fact finding enquiries of different kinds.The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs as it exists at present.The main characteristic of this research is that the researcher has no control over the variables; he can only report what has happened or what is happening.

    33 2.) Exploratory Research: Exploratoryresearch attempts to discover general information about some topic that is not well understood by the marketer. The basic difference between exploratory and descriptive research is in the research design. Exploratory research follows a format that is less structured and more flexible than descriptive research. This approach works well when the marketer does not have an understanding of the topic or the topic is new. 3.) Casual Research: In this form of research the marketer tries to determine if one variable affects another variable. Marketers use this approach to test marketing scenarios such as what might happen to product sales if changes are made to product design.  Research Design An integral component of a research design is the sampling plan. Specifically, it addresses three questions:  Whom to survey (The sample unit)?  How many to survey (The sample size)?  And how to select them (The sampling procedure)? Making a census study of the entire universe will be impossible on the account of limitations of time, resources and money. Hence sampling becomes inevitable. A sample is only a portion of the universe of population. According to Yule, a famous statistician, the object of sampling is to get maximum information about the parent population with minimum effort. Properly done, sampling produces representative data of the entire population. SAMPLING Sampling is the act, process, or technique of selecting a suitable sample, or a representative part of a population for the purpose of determining parameters or characteristics of the whole population.

    34 UNIVERSE Collection, population, orset of entities, items, or quantities (grouped together on the basis of common or defining characteristics or features) from which a representative sample is drawn for comparison or measurement. The sampling universe is the totality of items/events from which you can select or sample for statistical analysis and description. SAMPLE FRAME The sampling frame means the list of all the units comprising the population from which a sample is to be drawn. SAMPLE UNIT A single section selected to research and gather statistics of the whole. For example, when studying a group of college students, a single student could be a sampling unit. The sample units for this study were the different Institutes in Pune City Technique of Sampling Sampling is broadly classified into two techniques: 1) Probability 2) Non-Probability Probability Sampling is also known as ‘random sampling’ or ‘chance sampling’. Under this sampling design every item of the universe has an equal chance, or probability of being chosen for sample. This implies that the section of the sample items is independent of the persons making the study - that is the sampling operation is controlled objectively so that the items will be chosen strictly at random. Probability samples may take the form of:  Simple Random Sampling  Systematic Sampling  Stratified Sampling  Cluster and Area Sampling  Sequential Sampling  Multi stage Sampling

    35 5.1.2 Non ProbabilitySampling: Non Probability Sampling is also known as deliberate sampling, purposive and judgment sampling. Non-probability sampling is that which does not provide every item in the universe with a known chance of being included in the sample. Non-probability sampling is of the following type:  Convenience Sampling  Quota Sampling  Judgment Sampling  Snowball Sampling  Research Process Particulars Description Type of Research Descriptive Market research Research Approach Quantitative & Qualitative Sampling Method Non Probability – Convenience Sampling Sample Educational institutes Sample Area Pune City Sample Universe India Sample Size 50 Primary Data Collection Technique  Questionnaire  Interview Schedule

    36 Secondary Data Collection Technique Internet  White Papers Data collection Utmost care need to be taken while collecting the data, the data collected constitutes the base and foundation of the observation and analysis. This helps in the result process; if the data is inadequate the whole analysis may be faulty. Depending upon the sources data and be classified under two categories: 1. Primary Data This is the data, which is collected from the survey of respondents.This data can be collected either with a structured questionnaire or interviews and data can be analyzed. Primary data is the information directly from the respondents,more over exact response of the person interviewed can be recorded. In this project the primary data is collected through means of Questionnaires and Interviewing. 2. Secondary data. Similarly to primary data, secondary data are something which is collected from secondary sources like printed material, websites, etc. These are data which are already available either published or printed in past. Example:  Journals  Company records  Company annual reports  Trade journals  Magazines and Publications  Printed material from government department
  • 37.
    37 In this projectthe secondary data is collected from Company Websites, Internet, White papers. Data collection tool The data collection tools used in this research project is: 1. Questionnaire : A questionnaire consists of a set of questions presented to respondents for answers .The respondents read the questions, interpret what is expected and then write down the answers themselves .It is called an interview schedule when the researcher asks the questions (and if necessary, explain them) and record the respondent's reply on the interview schedule. In this project 10 questions were prepared keeping in mind the title of the project. Analysis techniques Data analysis is the process of gathering, modeling and transforming data with the goal of high lightning useful information, suggesting conclusion and supporting decision making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in business, science and other social domains. Statistical Tools used for analyzing the data: Percentage Method Percentages are used for making comparison between two or more series of data. This tool was used to know the percentages, to which the respondents had responded for each of the parameters for the various questions in the questionnaire. Pictorial Analysis Bar graphs and Pie charts are used to depict the data in pictorial format.

    51 CHAPTER 8 CONCLUSION Insurance sectorin India is growing at a very high rate and it is expected to grow more in future. This study has made an attempt to understand various risk involved in insurance sector and how to manage those risks. I observed that most of the people buy insurance police under someone’s influence and not according to their requirement. Also there is very low awareness about need analysis calculation. Many people do not pay their premium on time. The project was also done to study the scope of insurance business in the educational institutes and SME’s. I found that the educational institutes can divided into various scales depending on the strength of the students and staff but this standard was independent of the possibility of having the institute insured. And SMEs can be divide into turnover or the scale of business. The institutes who care about their student, staff, workers and reputation have maintained their standards are more likely to be the customer even with lower scale of strength. Customer satisfaction plays an important role in increasing the market share of the company and it is very hard to get. So insurance companies should sell their insurance policies according to needs of the customer in this way they can easily acquire customer’s loyalty. I also came across the fact that people are getting aware about the insurance slowly and hence the future for insurance companies in educational institutes is bright for better chance of development by offering better and innovative products to the institutes time-to-time.

    53 CHAPTER 10 SUGGESTION ANDRECOMMENDATIONS The awareness of the company was fairly good but the following steps are suggested:  For the company to flourish it is important to do good advertising. Personal consultancy to the individuals.  Should also concentrate more on internal branding rather than just focusing on earrings and profits.  Should focus on innovating micro products and try to enter into rural market where major part of rural population is untouched and provide opportunity for business expansion.  Should try to simplify the product more than present to attract more customer which will directly increase the ratio of policy holders.
