PART-
A
1. INDUSTRY PROFILE
Introduction to Insurance sector:
Almost 4,500 years ago, in the ancient land of Babylonia, traders used to bear risk of the
caravan trade by giving loans that had to be later repaid with interest when the goods arrived
safely. In 2100 BC, the Code of Hammurabi granted legal status to the practice
thats perhaps, was how insurance made its beginning. Life insurance had its origins in
ancient Rome, where citizens formed burial clubs that would meet the funeral expenses of its
members as well as help survivors by making some payments.
As European civilization progressed, its social institutions and welfare practices also got
more and more refined. With the discovery of new lands, sea routes and the consequent
growth in trade, medieval guilds took it upon themselves to protect their member traders from
loss on account of fire, shipwrecks and the like.
Since most of the trade took place by sea, there was also the fear of pirates. So these guilds
even offered ransom for members held captive by pirates. Burial expenses and support in
times of sickness and poverty were other services offered. Essentially, all these revolved
around the concept of insurance or risk coverage. That's how old these concepts are, really. In
1347, in Genoa, European maritime nations entered into the earliest known insurance contract
and decided to accept marine insurance as a practice.
The irst step...
Insurance as we know it today owes its existence to 17th century England. In fact, it began
taking shape in 1688 at a rather interesting place called Lloyd's Coffee House in London,
where merchants, ship-owners and underwriters met to discuss and transact business. By the
end of the 18th century, Lloyd's had brewed enough business to become one of the first
modern insurance companies.
Enter companies...
The first stock companies to get into the business of insurance were chartered in England in
1720. The year 1735 saw the birth of the first insurance company in the American colonies in
Charleston, SC.

In 1759, the Presbyterian Synod of Philadelphia sponsored the first life insurance corporation
in America for the benefit of ministers and their dependents.
However, it was after 1840 that life insurance really took off in a big way. The trigger:
reducing opposition from religious groups
The growing years...
The 19th century saw huge developments in the field of insurance, with newer products being
devised to meet the growing needs of urbanization and industrialization.
In 1835, the infamous New York fire drew people's attention to the need to provide for
sudden and large losses. Two years later, Massachusetts became the first state to require
companies by law to maintain such reserves. The great Chicago fire of 1871 further
emphasized how fires can cause huge losses in densely populated modern cities. The practice
of reinsurance, wherein the risks are spread among several companies, was devised
specifically for such situations.
There were more offshoots of the process of industrialization. In 1897, the British
government passed the Workmen's Compensation Act, which made it mandatory for a
company to insure its employees against industrial accidents. With the advent of the
automobile, public liability insurance, which first made its appearance in the 1880s, gained
importance and acceptance?
In the 19th century, many societies were founded to insure the life and health of their
members, while fraternal orders provided low-cost, members-only insurance. Even today,
such fraternal orders continue to provide insurance coverage to members as do most labor
organizations. Many employers sponsor group insurance policies for their employees,
providing not just life insurance, but sickness and accident benefits and old-age pensions.
Employees contribute a certain percentage of the premium for these policies.
In India...
Insurance in India can be traced back to the Vedas. For instance, yogakshema, the name of
Life Insurance Corporation of India's corporate headquarters, is derived from the Rig Veda.
The term suggests that a form of "community insurance" was prevalent around 1000 BC and
practiced by the Aryans.

Bombay Mutual Assurance Society, the first Indian life assurance society, was formed in
1870. Other companies like Oriental, Bharat and Empire of India were also set up in the
1870-90s. It was during the swadeshi movement in the early 20th century that insurance
witnessed a big boom in India with several more companies being set up. As these companies
grew, the government began to exercise control on them. The Insurance Act was passed in
1912, followed by a detailed and amended Insurance Act of 1938 that looked into
investments, expenditure and management of these companies' funds.
By the mid-1950s, there were around 170 insurance companies and 80 provident fund
societies in the country's life insurance scene. However, in the absence of regulatory systems,
scams and irregularities were almost a way of life at most of these companies. As a result, the
government decided to nationalize the lie insurance business in India. The lie insurance
corporation of India was set up in 1956 to take over around 250 life companies.
For years thereafter, insurance remained a monopoly of the public sector. It was only after
seven years of deliberation and debate - after the RN Malhotra Committee report of 1994
became the first serious document calling for the re-opening up of the insurance sector to
private players -- that the sector was finally opened up to private players in 2001.The
INSURANCE REGULATORY & DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, an
autonomousinsurance regulator set up in 2000, has extensive powers to oversee the insurance business
and regulate in a manner that will safeguard the interests of the insured.
INSURANCE ININDIA
The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive market to
nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the developments in the Indian
insurance sector reveals the 360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almost two centuries.
A brief history of the Insurance
sectorThe business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year

government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act,1956, with a
capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India. The General insurance
business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company Ltd.,
the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British.
Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in
Indiaare
:1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company to transact all classes of

Insurance sector reforms

direction. The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of complementing the
reforms initiated in the financial sector.

6/76
The reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive financial system
suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in mind the structural changes currently
underway and recognizing that insurance is an important part of the overall financial system
where it was necessary to address the need for similar reforms
In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the key recommendations included;
1.) Structure
Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%.
Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these
subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.
All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate.
2.) Competition
Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs.1bn should be allowed to
enter the industry.
No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a single entity.
Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the
domestic companies.
Postal Life Insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market.
Only one State Level Life Insurance Company should be allowed to operate in each
state.
3.) Regulatory Body
The Insurance Act should be changed.
An Insurance Regulatory body should be set up.
Controller of Insurance (Currently a part from the Finance Ministry) should be made
independent.
4.) Investments
Mandatory Investments of LIC Life Fund in government securities to be reduced from
75% to 50%.
5

7/29/2019 122519977-bajaj-allianz.doc

GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5% in any company (There current
holdings to be brought down to this level over a period of time).
5.) Customer Service
LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days.
Insurance companies must be encouraged to set up unit linked pension plans.
Computerization of operations and updating of technology to be carried out in the
insurance industry.
The committee emphasized that in order to improve the customer services and increase the
coverage of the insurance industry should be opened up to competition. But at the same time,
the committee felt the need to exercise caution as any failure on the part of new players could
ruin the public confidence in the industry. Hence, it was decided to allow competition in a
limited way by stipulating the minimum Capital requirement of Rs.100 crores. The
committee felt the need to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in order to
improve their performance and enable them to act as independent companies with economic
motives. For this purpose, it had proposed setting up an independent regulatory body.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development
AuthorityReforms 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
000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulations and registering the private
sector insurance companies. The other decisions taken simultaneously to provide the
supporting systems to the insurance sector and in particular the life insurance companies were
the launch of the IRDAs online service 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,
which are expected to be introduced by early next year.
Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a framework of
globally compatible regulations. Total number of life insurers under the Authority has gone
up to 21, while total number of general insurers registered with IRDA has reached 20.

3) MCKINSEY 7-S MODEL
The 7-s model with reference to BAJAJ ALLIANZ life
insurance:
The 7s model are a frame work for analyzing organizations and their effectiveness. It looks
at seven key elements that make the organization successful, or not; a structure; a system,
skills, staff, shared values.
Consultants at McKinseys and company developed by 7s models in the late 1970s to help
managers address the difficulties of the organization change. The model shows that
organizational immune system and the many inter connected variables involved make change
complex, and that an effective change effort must address many of these issues
simultaneously.
24
-
7/29/2019 122519977-bajaj-allianz.doc
26/76
The 7s model is a tool for managerial analysis and action that provides structure with which
to consider a company as whole, so that the organizational problems may be diagnosed and a
strategy may be developed and implemented.
2The seven diagrams illustrates the multiplicity interconnectedness of elements that
organizations ability to change. The theory helped to managers thinking about how
company could be improved. It says that it is not just a matter of devising a new strategy and
following it through. Nor is it a matter of setting a new system and letting them generate
improvements?
To be effective, your organization must have degree of fit or internal alignment among all the
7s. Each S must be consistent with the reinforcement of the other S. All S are interrelated
so a change in one has a ripple effect on all others. It is impossible to make progress on one
without making progress on all. Thus, to improve the organization you have to master
system thinking and pay attention to all of the seven elements at the same time. There is no
starting point or implied hierarchy different factors may drive the business in any one
organization.
STRUCTUR
EThe structure defines former relationship and the use of people in the organization. In
todays complex and ever changing environment, successful organization may take
temporary structural change to cope with specific strategic tasks without abandoning basic
structural division throughout the organization.

within which the decision making behavior of an executive takes place. It is an establishment

A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the strengths,
weakness, opportunities and threats involved in a project or in a business or
in any other situation requiring a decision.it involves monitoring the
marketing environment internal and external to the company. The technique is
credited to Albert Humphrey, who led a research project at Stanford
University in the 1960s and 1970s using data from the fortune 500
companies.
Strengths: attribute of the organization that are helpful to achieving theobjectives.
Weakness: attributes of the organization those are harmful to achieving
the objectives.
Opportunities: external conditions those are helpful to achieving the

6. LEARNING EXPERIENCE
In the class just we can assume how the corporate world is but it is completely
different when I started to go to the company. In the class just we will read,
learn and same thing we will write in the exam and we will get pass but
whenwe go for searching job really we will feel the heat of outside world,
regardingpressure for target achievement, competition for jobs etc
During my stay in the organization I was exposed to the actual working of the
organization. I learnt how the different departments of an organization functions
and coordination for overall smooth
function. That was a wonderful experience to me in that company. I learnt so many things
there, what is the real corporate culture, How much we have to be smart, How
much talented we should, How we should achieve our target, what is our
responsibity. I could also analyze how McKinseys model contributes to
effective working of the organization. During this short period, by
interactingwith my guide and other key persons, it enables me to know about the functions
of various departments. Their workflow, discuss and responsibilities ofrespective heads.
I learn how the company motivates the employee to retain and make them work
effectively with full satisfaction towards achieving their individual goalswhichindirectly can achieve the organizational
goals.Some of the findings during my 10 weeks stay in the organization are as
follows: Company has excellent
infrastructure. Corporate culture amongst the employees is excellent irrespective of their cadre
and their
designation. Excellent environment to work with committed
employees. Welfare facilities as well as infrastructural facilities given to the
employeeshelps in boosting up their
morale. The company has a lot of prospects to come up as a profit making organization.

study covers the various marketing techniques to know about the brand awareness and
changing investment patterns towards the life insurance industry. The data collected and
interpreted will be useful for the company Scope of study refers to the area selected for the
survey purpose. It includes businessman, employees, household and retired persons who are
interested in investment their money. Various findings, observations and valuable
suggestions, recommendations help the company to materialize its future plans.
1.4 Research Methodology
Research methodology is used to search answers of the research questions. An attempt has
been made to describe the nature of the people of Bangalore city by the study of the samples.
Methodology in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. The advanced learner's
dictionary of current English lays down the meaning of research as "a careful investigation or
enquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge"
Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood
as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. Learning more about the
consumer and about marketing is the heart of the research methodology. The research
methodology has many dimensions research methods to constitute a part of the research
methodology.
A. Sampling plan
After collecting entire data and deciding on the research approach and instruments, now I had
to decide on the sampling plan which was one of the important task, because from the bunch
of people I had to select only those people ,whom I can target from now onward. There are
three way of sorting the data.
B. Sampling unit

47/76
Who is to be surveyed? And now my task was to define the target population, which will be
sampled from the number of people. Population refers to the total items about which the
information is desired. Here in this project I have considered finite population that is we are
taking one single individual as single unit which is fixed to 50 respondents, each separately
by the single individual.
C. Sample size
Large sample give more reliable result than small sample, so for this reason I had taken
around 50 people with whom the survey was conducted to get an understanding of the
respondents satisfaction level towards the different insurance brands.
D. Analyze the collected information
Once the date is collected the next task is to analyze it. The raw data should be
classified into some purposeful usable categories. For example: tabulation, coding, etc.
Analysis work, after tabulation, is generally based on the computation of various percentages,
coefficients, etc. by applying various well defined statistical formulae like frequency
distribution, calculation of average and dispersions. Here in this report it is found that the
investment pattern of people in private insurance companies is not satisfactory.
E. Report research findings:
Final report is prepared according to the work done. This phase will mark the elimination of
the marketing research effort. The report with the research finding is a formal written
document. Research findings and personal experience will be used to propose
recommendation to the Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Corporation, which will help the
company to develop an effective strategy to compete against other competitors.
F. Data collection method
There are several ways of collecting the data which different considerably in context of
money, cost, time and other resources. In this project the data which was required gave
details about the behavior of people who make investments in insurance, mutual funds, IPO,

This method was the most appropriate way of survey, because by personal interview I came
to know about how the respondents feel about the life insurance companies. The personal
interview is conducting mainly for collecting information for fulfill of the questionnaire.

it was less time consuming to fill up the questionnaire rather than answering the interviewers
questions. The questionnaire is to prepare to know the awareness level. The questionnaire is
fully focused for collecting the brand awareness information and finding the market potential
of Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Corporation.
