About the Health Insurance Industry - While the current market sees more than 15 non-life players in the private space and 5 exclusive private players in the health insurance space trying to capture a sizable market share, the nationalised service provider (6) remains a strong competitor. In addition to this the business dynamics are such that the overall market on an annual basis which is to the tune of roughly 10,000 Crs sees close to 85 % of the business renewing with the existing service provider itself. This narrows down the opportunity of the fresh business actually being seriously fought in the market to approximately 1500 odd Crs. With the SME and the start-ups being the driving force of Indian economy, the opportunity to cater to these segments is immense and is increasing manifold year on year. The challenge here therefore remains as to how we capture a larger share of the opportunity by developing specific solutions to cater each segment of the business. Also by creating an inexpensive and standardized solution to increase the reach into the pockets of channel partners across the country to harness on their captive business and explore new opportunities with them.

Challenges - Key Challenges for the role - Creating and enticing value proposition in the distributor and consumer segment for a completely new concept and product in the market. Ensuring profitability and timely break-even in a cost driven market. Building a robust low cost & high productivity distribution network with high penetration leveraging the agency partner module. Creating a distribution network from scratch which is rather difficult in the present circumstances. Also since the number of people in the distribution network is significantly less compared to the Agency channel, the productivity of the sales team will be significantly higher & thus being difficult to sustain. Since the channel is new and there is no support from a robust existing pool of advisors, licensing the new advisors in wake of changing syllabus, training the scattered resources and coordinating their examinations, is a difficult but necessary proposition. Short gestation period to develop and deliver the new business in the new processes of the new vertical because of continuous business demands. Scattered manpower across small locations which makes tracking, monitoring & driving of business & related activities difficult & complex. Building involvement & engagement of the Agency Partner force that are not full time employee is by itself a challenging & difficult prospect both from acquisition as well as activation perspective. Scarcity of skilled/right fit of man power to fit the module of business. Managing expectations of high performers: high performers expectation rises every year and to satisfy it through innovative means is a big challenge. Getting low cost infrastructure in place across locations.
