operating the competitive Indian market & more so in the business of
life insurance where the customers looks for self-belief & faith then the

They represent the company’s face & words on which the customers can
trust because the customers know that face. The advisor helps to create a

The role of an advisor is multifaceted in the sense that his work scope is
in no way limited. But in a nut shell the expectations from an advisor
has been laid down by the management in the following manner fewer
than two main headings:
The benefits have already been mentioned very often in the previous
section but it’s necessary to look into them as a comprehensive
criterion. The main benefits & supports that an advisor would be
availing of are the distinct ICICI Prudential life advantages.
Rewarding career
The job profile as mentioned earlier is unlimited & an advisor will help
people realize their dreams & provide them the financial &
psychological security & faith. The ultimate rewards will be the
differences made to all these lives & that would be most satisfying in
the real sense.

STRENGTH
WEAKNESS
The company right now has lesser number of agents (i.e. financial
advisors) than LIC of India, which affects their sales in comparison to
LIC of India.
OPPURTUNITY
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited can give LIC of
INDIA agents an opportunity to join ICICI Prudential Life Insurance
Company Limited as ICICI Prudential has got more incentive packages
& servicing quality better than LIC of INDIA. Doing this they can
reduce their cost of training and can exploit their experience.
THREAT
Other big brand names like BIRLAS, TATA, HDFC, SBI and AVIVA,
RELIANCE etc.
POLITICAL
Right one ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, can go for
opening up more & more offices, as the present political environment is
business friendly.

LIMITATIONS
RECOMMENDETATION
After going through the above table regarding market share of various
companies in the financial year 2003-04, there is no reason why ICICI
prudential should rejoice of being the number one company in the
country. The growth that companies like BIRLA SUNLIFE, SBI LIFE
INSURANCE, TATA-AIG, BAJAJ ALLIANZ, OM KOTAK
MAHINDRA, AVIVA, ING VYASA, METLIFE & AMP SANMAR
have produced that can be quite a big unseen threat for the company in
the coming years. So the company should start thinking of what they
want from the market & where they want to see themselves after a span
of 10 years because if the popularity of these companies continues then
one day they will become good competitors of ICICI Prudential & then
the consequences can be quite disturbing for the company.
CONCLUSION
1. ICICI PRUDENTIAL has interested and profitable planes for
different age group.
