Life Insurance Council and the ‘Sabse Pehle Life Insurance’ Campaign
Life Insurance Council is the forum that connects all the life insurance companies in India. Recently, the Council have launched ‘Sabse Pehle Life Insurance,’ which is the first campaign of the insurance industry.
The purpose of the ‘Sabse Pehle Life Insurance’ campaign is to create awareness and educate the Indian population about the different aspects and importance of having life insurance protection. All the 24 life insurance companies are a part of this campaign.
To reach a large section of people online, the Life Insurance Council has launched a dedicated website, https://www.sabsepehlelifeinsurance.com/. Currently, the penetration of life insurance is quite low in the country. Therefore, the campaign is seen as a definitive step towards educating people on the insurance front.
One of the primary reasons for the low insurance penetration is the fact that often people buy life insurance for peripheral benefits only – without understanding first why insurance coverage is imperative in their lives.
Life insurance companies in India offer a variety of customisable insurance plans to suit individual needs and requirements. Thus, the thought-provoking campaign hopes to identify with the larger Indian population and encourage them to opt for a life insurance protection based on their financial needs and requirements.
