Effectiveness of CRM in HDFC Standard Life Insurance into Increase the SalesProjects Kart
The CRM softwares are one of the great tools for life insurance sector where they can track their customers term insurance, tax saving investments, life insurance, in a customizable and user friendly way. Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcut-ta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European community and these companies were not insuring Indian natives. However, later with the efforts of eminent peo-ple like Babu Muttylal Seal, the foreign life insurance companies started in-suring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated as sub-standard lives and heavy extra premiums were being charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance com-pany in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates. Starting as Indian enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through insurance to various sectors of society. Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by nationalism. With largest number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurance happens to be a mega opportunity in India. It’s a business growing at the rate of 15-20 per cent annually and presently is of the order of Rs 450 billion. Together with banking services, it adds about 7 percent to the coun-try’s GDP. Gross premium collection is nearly 2 per cent of GDP and funds available with LIC for investments are 8 per cent of GDP.
Yet, nearly 80 per cent of Indian population is without life insurance cover while health insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. And this part of the population is also subject to weak social security and pension systems with hardly any old age income security. It is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is immense. Visit http://www.projectskart.com/p/contact-us.html for more information

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

THE INSURANCE INDUSTRYIN INDIA
With the largest number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurance happens to be
a mega opportunity in India. It’s a business growing at the rate of 32-34 per cent annually and
presently is of the order of $41 billion (for the financial year 2009-2010). Together with banking
services, it adds about 7% to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Even so nearly 65% of the Indian population is without life insurance cover while health
insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. A large part of
our population is also subject to weak social security and pension systems with hardly any old
age income security. This in itself is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector in
India is immense.
A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is needed for economic development as it
provides long term funds for infrastructure development and strengthens the risk taking ability of
individuals. It is estimated that over the next ten years India would require investments of the
order of one trillion US dollars. The Insurance sector, to some extent, can enable investments in
infrastructure development to sustain the economic growth of the country.(Source:

HISTORICALPERSPECTIVE
The history of life insurance in India dates back to 1818 when it was conceived as a means to
provide for English Widows. Interestingly in those days a higher premium was charged for
Indian lives than the non - Indian lives, as Indian lives were considered more risky to cover. The
Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society started its business in 1870. It was the first company to
charge the same premium for both Indian and non-Indian lives.
The Oriental Assurance Company was established in 1880. The General insurance business in
India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to Triton Insurance Company Limited, the first
general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. Till the end of
the nineteenth century insurance business was almost entirely in the hands of overseas
companies.
Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life Insurance Companies
Act of 1912 and the Provident Fund Act of 1912. Several frauds during the 1920's and 1930's
sullied insurance business in India. By 1938 there were 176 insurance companies.
The first comprehensive legislation was introduced with the Insurance Act of 1938 that provided
strict State Control over the insurance business. The insurance business grew at a faster pace
after independence. Indian companies strengthened their hold on this business but despite the
growth that was witnessed, insurance remained an urban phenomenon.
The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240 private life insurers and provident
societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and Life Insurance Corporation (LIC)
was born. Nationalization was justified on the grounds that it would create the much needed
funds for rapid industrialization. This was in conformity with the Government's chosen path of
State led planning and development.
The non-life insurance business continued to thrive with the private sector till 1972. Their
operations were restricted to organized trade and industry in large cities. The general insurance
6. 6 | P a g e
industry was nationalized in 1972. With this, nearly 107 insurers were amalgamated and grouped
into four companies- National Insurance Company, New India Assurance Company, Oriental
Insurance Company and United India Insurance Company. These were subsidiaries of the
General Insurance Company (GIC).
KEY MILESTONES
1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life
insurance business.
1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect
statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.
1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended by the Insurance Act with the objective of
protecting the interests of the insuring public.
1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers along with provident societies were taken over by the
central government and nationalized. LIC was formed by an Act of Parliament- LIC Act 1956-
with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.
INSURANCE REGULATORY AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA Bill in Parliament in
December 1999. The IRDA since its incorporation as a statutory body in April 2000 has
fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulations and registering the private sector
insurance companies. Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a
framework of globally compatible regulations.
The other decision taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to the insurance
sector and in particular the life insurance companies was the launch of the IRDA online service
7. 7 | P a g e
for issue and renewal of licenses to agents. The approval of institutions for imparting training to
agents has also ensured that the insurance companies would have a trained workforce of
insurance agents in place to sell their products.
PRESENT SCENARIO - LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Indian insurance sector is likely to register unprecedented growth of 200% and attain a size of
Rs. 2000 billion by 2009-10, in which a private sector insurance business will achieve a growth
rate of 140% as a result of aggressive marketing technique being adopted by them against 35-
40% growth rate of state owned insurance companies.
The aforesaid findings are made by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of
India (ASSOCHAM) on `Insurance in Next 2 Years’, saying that in the last couple of years, the
insurance sector has grown by CAGR of around 175% and the trend will emerge still better
because of potential factor. Currently, the insurance sector size is estimated at Rs.500 billion.
On account of intense marketing strategies adopted by private insurance players, the market
share of state owned insurance companies like GIC, LIC and others have come down to 70% in
last 4-5 years from over 97%.
The private insurance players despite the sector is still regulated has been offering rate of return
(RoR) to its policy holders which is estimated at about 35% as against 20% of domestic
insurance companies. This factor is mainly responsible for hike in private insurance market share
which will grow further which is why the ASSOCHAM estimates that its growth rate could even
exceed 140%.
Secondly, the state owned insurance companies such as LIC and GIC have limited number of
policies to offer to their subscribers while in case of private insurance companies, their policy
numbers are many more and the premium amount as well as the maturity period is much
competitive as against those of government insurance companies. Interestingly, the private sector
8. 8 | P a g e
insurance players have started exploring the rural markets in which until recently, the state
owned companies had the monopoly.
The Chamber has projected that in rural markets, the share of private insurance players would
increase substantially as these have been able to generate a faith among their rural consumers.
Estimating the potential of the Indian insurance market from the perspective of macro-economic
variables such as the ratio of premium to GDP, ASSOCHAM reveals that India’s life insurance
premium, as a percentage of GDP is 1.8% against 5.2% in the US, 6.5% in the UK or 8% in
South Korea. ASSOCHAM findings further reveal that in the coming years, the corporate
segment, as a whole will not be a big growth area for insurance companies. This is because
penetration is already good and companies receive good services. In both volumes and
profitability therefore, the scope for expansion is modest. The Chamber has suggested that
insurer’s strategy should be to stimulate demand in areas that are currently not served at all.
Insurance companies mostly focus on manufacturing sector, however, the services sector is
taking a large and growing share of India’s GDP. This offers immense opportunities for
expansion opportunities.
To understand the prospects for insurance companies in rural India, it is very important to
understand the requirements of India's villagers, their daily lives, their peculiar needs and their
occupational structures. There are farmers, craftsmen, milkmen, weavers, casual labourers,
construction workers and shopkeepers and so on. More often than not, they are into more than
one profession.
The rural market offers tremendous growth opportunities for insurance companies and insurers
should develop viable and cost-effective distribution channels; build consumer awareness and
confidence. The ASSOCHAM found that there are a total 124 million rural households. Nearly
20% of all farmers in rural India own a Kissan Credit cards. The 25 million credit cards used till
date offer a huge data base and opportunity for insurance companies. An extensive rural agent
network for sale of insurance products could be established. The agent can play a major role in
creating awareness, motivating purchase and rendering insurance services.
9. 9 | P a g e
There should be nothing to stop insurance companies from trying to pursue their own unique
policies and target whatever needs that they want to target in rural India. ASSOCHAM suggests
that insurance needs to be packaged in such a form that it appears as an acceptable investment to
the rural people.
