Career in Insurance


Insurance : The concept of insurance was not taken so seriously as in the other countries, but today the scenario has gradually changed, but still the average ratio of the insured Indians are far less when compared with the other countries. You would still find majority of the Indians who are under insured when the ration of Life insurance premia to GDP is considered. It has been seen that the ratio is just a paltry figure near about 1.3-1.4 %, whereas in the other countries, the ratio is over 7%.

The poor state of services which are provided is the other basic reason for less people to go for the same.
