INTRODUCTION
A study on marketing strategies adopted in Life Insurance Corporation of India.
Strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal, most often
winning. Strategy is differentiated from tactics or immediate actions with resources at hand
by its nature of being extensively premeditated, and often practically rehearsed.
A marketing strategy is most effective when it is an integral part component of
corporate strategy, defining how the organization will engage customers, prospects and
competitors in the market arena for success. It is partially derived from broader corporate
strategies, corporate mission and corporate goals. They should flow from the firmsmission
statement. They are also influenced by a range of micro environmental factors.
Marketing is so basic that it cannot be considered as a separate function. Today we
hear that business operating in a globalized economy that things are moving at a nana second
pace. That our markets are characterized by upper competition that descriptive technologies
are challenging every business and that must adopt the empowered consumer.
The said marketing concept holds that the organizations task is to determine the need
wants and interests of target markets and to deliver the desired satisfaction more effectively
and efficiently than competitors in a way that preserves or enhance the consumers and
societys well-being.

COMPANY PROFILE
Founding organizations
The Oriental Life Insurance Company, the first company in India offering life insurancecoverage, was established in Calcutta in 1818 by Bipin Behari Dasgupta and others. Its
primary target market was the Europeans based in India, and it charged Indians heftier
premiums. The Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, formed in 1870, was the first native
insurance provider. Other insurance companies established in the pre-independence era
included
Postal Life Insurance (PLI) was introduced on 1 February 1884 Bharat Insurance Company (1896) United India (1906) National Indian (1906) National Insurance (1906) Co-operative Assurance (1906) Hindustan Co-operatives (1907) Indian Mercantile General Assurance Swadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) Sahyadri Insurance (Merged into LIC, 1986)The first 150 years were marked mostly by turbulent economic conditions. It witnessed,
India's First War of Independence, adverse effects of the World War I and World War II on
the economy of India, and in between them the period of worldwide economic crises
triggered by the Great depression. The first half of the 20th century also saw a heightened
struggle for India's independence. The aggregate effect of these events led to a high rate of
and liquidation of life insurance companies in India. This had adversely affected the faith of
the general public in the utility of obtaining life cover.

Nationalization in 1955
LIC Zonal Office, at Connaught Place, New Delhi, designed by Charles Correa, 1991.
In 1955, parliamentarian Amol Barate raised the matter of insurance fraud by owners
of private insurance agencies. In the ensuing investigations, one of India's wealthiest
businessmen, Sachin Devkekar, owner of the Times of India newspaper, was sent to prison
for two years.
Eventually, the Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance of India Act on June 19,
1956 creating the Life Insurance Corporation of India, which started operating in September
of that year. It consolidated the life insurance business of 245 private life insurers and other
entities offering life insurance services, this consisted of 154 life insurance companies, 16foreign companies and 75 provident companies. The nationalization of the life insurance
business in India was a result of the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956, which had created a
policy framework for extending state control over at least seventeen sectors of the economy,
including the life insurance.
Growth as a monopoly
From its creation, the Life Insurance Corporation of India, which commanded amonopoly of soliciting and selling life insurance in India, created huge surpluses, and by the
year 2006 it was contributing around 7% of India's GDP.
The Corporation, which started its business with around 300 offices, 5.7 million
policies and a corpus of INR 45.9 crores (US$ 92 million as per the 1959 exchange rate of
roughly INR5 for US$1), had grown to 25,000 servicing around 350 million policies and a
corpus of over INR800000 crore (US$130 billion) by the end of the 20th century.

Liberalization post 2000s
In August 2000, the Indian Government embarked on a program to liberalize the
Insurance Sector and opened it up for the private sector. Ironically, LIC emerged as a
beneficiary from this process with robust performance, albeit on a base substantially higher
than the private sector.
In 2013 the First Year Premium compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 24.53%
while Total Life Premium CAGR was 19.28% matching the growth of the life insurance
industry and also outperforming general economic growth.

SUGGESTIONS
Life Insurance Corporation of India is a very well versed company. It believes in concept
selling by opening new branches all over the country rather giving advertisements in
television or any other media. But still it is suggested that it should give advertisement in
television, so that general public can know better about this company as much of them are not
aware of its benefits.
1. The annual premium of LIC of India is higher when compared to the competitors. Soit is suggested that its premium plans must be revised and should see that its premium
amount is being fixed at a reasonable level.
2. It is suggested that the company has to go for deep insight in the insurance sector as itwould help the agents to convince the general public easily to invest in the company.
3. The awareness of the company is due to agents, so it is suggested that the companyprovide more training and encourage the agents for their work.
4. It is also suggested that the company must also concentrate on other medias for itsawareness like advertisement through newspaper, magazines, television etc.
5. The company is suggested to tie up with other organizations which have strong holdin rural and semi-urban areas, or open its own branches to compete with them.

CONCLUSIONS:
Hence to conclude, I came to know about Life Insurance Corporation of India,
role of financial consultant to selling insurance products. During on the job training I
learned to talk with strangers, getting touch with them to get references. And what are
the abilities functions of FCs in the company.
The size of the market has grown and the size of the insurable population in
India is indeed vast and the existing player has managed to cover about two third of it.
The opportunities before the players are therefore a plenty in terms of target audience.
The perception of public, the collapse of many small time financial institutions,
and the scope for entering related areas to sale the insurance products in door to door
selling strategy is very useful. There is a probability of a spurt in employment
opportunities. A number of web sites are coming up on insurance, a few financial
magazines exclusively devoted to insurance and also a few training institutes being set
up hurriedly. Many of the universities and management institutes have already started
or are contemplating new courses in insurance it was very helpful to more awareness
of the sector.
