But have you wondered what the business model of LIC is? How big is it, and how does it impact the insurance world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case study, we will be answering such questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), established in 1956, is a public life insurance company headquartered in Mumbai, India. The primary objective of LIC is to enhance the quality of people&#8217;s life by&nbsp;spreading life insurance products to the underprivileged and economically backward population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LIC has six associate companies and seven subsidiaries. It ranks #1 among the insurance companies in India by size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LIC went public in May 2022; however, only 3.5% of the equity is owned by the public and the rest 96.5% is owned by the promoter and promoter group, i.e., the government of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LIC-Case-Study.png\" alt=\"LIC Case Study\" class=\"wp-image-3384\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LIC-Case-Study-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LIC-Case-Study-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LIC-Case-Study-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LIC-Case-Study-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/LIC-Case-Study.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/kotak-mahindra-bank-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/\">Kotak Mahindra Bank: Business Model and SWOT Analysis<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/lic-case-study-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/#Key_Facts_of_LIC_FY_22%E2%80%9323\" title=\"Key Facts of LIC (FY 22\u201323)\">Key Facts of LIC (FY 22\u201323)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/lic-case-study-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/#Business_Model_of_LIC\" title=\"Business Model of LIC\">Business Model of LIC<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/lic-case-study-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/#LIC_Product_Offering\" title=\"LIC Product Offering\">LIC Product Offering<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/lic-case-study-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/#SWOT_Analysis_of_LIC\" title=\"SWOT Analysis of LIC\">SWOT Analysis of LIC<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/lic-case-study-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/lic-case-study-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\" title=\"Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-facts-of-lic-fy-22-23\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Facts_of_LIC_FY_22%E2%80%9323\"><\/span>Key Facts of LIC (FY 22\u201323)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

Consider the situation: you completed your graduation and were placed in a global MNC. Now, to secure your future, you\u2019re looking for life insurance and get in touch with an insurance agent. The agent briefs you about all the current offerings. After analysing and trusting the brand value of LIC as Government of India backs it, you decided to go with LIC and bought life insurance from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you\u2019ll be giving money to LIC in the form of premiums on your policy for a period of time, say 10 years. LIC, in return, offers you financial benefits in case of unforeseen situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, LIC will invest this premium in various financial instruments: Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, etc. In this situation, you are the only customer. As of September 2023, LIC has issued 27.74 crs. individual policies, assuring a sum of INR 5,868,481 crs. It\u2019s a whopping number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of November 2023, they are managing assets worth INR 4,397,205 crs. which is close to the assets under management (AUM) of the entire mutual funds industry in India. Imagine how big LIC is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Check out our blog to learn more about AUM:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/what-is-asset-under-management-aum-in-mutual-funds\/\">What is Asset Under Management (AUM) in Mutual Funds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-breakup-of-state-wise-business\">Breakup of State-wise Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-small-font-size\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">State<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Market share (in%)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maharashtra<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">West Bengal<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Uttar Pradesh<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Gujarat<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tamil Nadu<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Karnataka<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rajasthan<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Andhra Pradesh<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Others<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">39%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/zepto-case-study\/\">Zepto Case Study: Business Model, Financials, and SWOT Analysis<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lic-product-offering\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LIC_Product_Offering\"><\/span>LIC Product Offering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LIC offers numerous insurance plans to a broad range of customers, ranging from individuals to various groups (employers, institutions, etc.).

The brand value that LIC has created is a significant strength of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Product Base:<\/strong> Its broad range of product offerings with a mix of participating and non-participating products is a huge advantage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Network:<\/strong> LIC has the largest force of insurance agents. The number has crossed 13 lakhs in FY 22-23. Further, LIC has 2,048 branches, 1,580 satellite branches, 19,437 micro-insurance agents and 295 brokers. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weakness\">Weakness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lack of Online presence:<\/strong> LIC sells its policies via agents. It has an extensive network of agents all over India. However, the online presence of LIC is not up to the mark, and it heavily depends on insurance agents to sell its policies, which is a weak point in today\u2019s digital world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ineffective Advertising<\/strong>: LIC advertising falls short as compared to its competitors. One of the reasons that the LIC market&#8217;s share has been reduced in recent times. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of Innovation<\/strong>: Due to the massive size of LIC and red tape, it often lacks innovation and fails to diversify its products as per the evolving needs of the young generation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-opportunities\">Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Market Size:<\/strong> There has been rapid growth in India in recent times, poverty is decreasing, and financial stability is increasing. With India\u2019s massive population, LIC has an excellent opportunity to increase its market share.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Online Services:<\/strong> LIC is an offline dominant business driven by its agents. There\u2019s a great opportunity to expand its online presence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased Awareness:<\/strong> In India, financial awareness is increasing, which gives the opportunity to launch new products based on the demand of the evolving customers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-threats\">Threats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Govt. Stake:<\/strong> LIC is a govt. owned entity where 97.5% of the stake is held by Govt. of India, operations of the LIC can be heavily influenced by it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private Players:<\/strong> Tough competition from private players in the industry is a significant threat. In 2000, the Govt. of India allowed private players in the insurance industry and since then, the market share of LIC in insurance policies has kept on decreasing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technological Challenges<\/strong>: There have been a lot of new developments in the fintech industry \u2013 digital lending, insurance, etc. However, if we look at LIC, it has a lot to do which poses a potential threat in an already declining market share.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/paytm-case-study-business-model-and-marketing-strategy\/\">Paytm Case Study: Business Model and Marketing Strategy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LIC is a behemoth and the largest insurance player in India. It offers a wide range of insurance products, having an extensive distribution network. LIC\u2019s massive portfolio also accelerated its income stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the insurance sector continues to develop in India, LIC\u2019s ability to adapt to constantly evolving environment will be a key factor in maintaining its market share. In other words, digital presence is essential in today&#8217;s world. The sharp decline has been seen in the operations of PSUs whenever government allowed private players in the industry.
