The Insurance industry in India has been progressing at a rapid pace since opening up of the industry in 2000. As per Assocham, India’s premier apex chamber of industries, the country’s domestic insurance market would touch around US$ 60.5 Billion by the year 2010 from existing size of about US$ 10.2 Billion. According to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (“IRDA”), new business premium income from April 2006 to February 2007 amounted to INR579.38 billion (US$13.18 billion), registering an impressive 120% growth over the same period last year.



The Insurance industry graph is definitely ascending. Distribution accounts for the largest element in insurer’s cost and affects profitability. The size of the country combined with problems of connectivity in the rural areas, makes insurance selling in India a difficult proposition. The distribution capabilities strongly influence product design in insurance. The distribution channels have a direct impact on the insurer’s market image.

India with a population of more than a billion people offers unlimited growth potential especially in the rural areas.
