Unlocking Growth Potential for Indian Insurance Agents

The Indian insurance industry boasts of a vast network of agents who play a critical role in selling insurance policies and providing customer services. As of 2021, over 2.1 million agents were operating in the sector, facilitating the sale of insurance policies and helping customers find products that suit their requirements. While non-life insurance products have witnessed good online sales, life insurance products continue to rely heavily on agents due to their complexity and the need for personalized advice.

Despite the rise of digitalization, insurance companies continue to rely on agents as their preferred channel for selling policies in India. To keep up with the changing times, companies have attempted to offer direct-to-customer sales channels, but the complex nature of insurance products and the need for personalized advice have resulted in a hybrid model that combines digital platforms with the expertise of agents.
