Term Insurance:
A low cost life insurance plan, but for a fixed period of time
Primary Research:
       20 interviews
       Varied demographics with participants across different states in India
       (% female; % male)
       (stats about occupation)
Secondary Research:
       65% of Indians have purchased a LIC policy, but only 1 out of 5 Indians have purchased
        a Term Insurance Plan. (Source)
       A mkt. research firm study states that IPQ (degree to which an individual feels
        protected) in India stands at a lowly figure of 35
       Term insurance uptake in urban India has been very low despite being the cheapest form
        of financial protection
Key Insights
       Awareness about basic difference between life insurance and term insurance is still
        lacking among urban Indians.
       Many equate insurance products to investment products, and thus a higher uptake of LIC
        in India despite its higher premium cost.
       Most LIC products are sold to consumers by luring them about investment returns,
        though the reality is returns from life insurance products are bare minimal.
       Necessary to undertake marketing campaigns to make consumers understand the
        importance of insurance products, and not confuse them with investment products.
       Targeting low-risk consumers with higher customer LTV and offering them competitive
        premium prices as compared to competitors can be a key strategy to maximize
        profitability
