Drive importance of life insurance awareness and ownership
4th March 2022, New Delhi:
Actors Boman Irani and Mandira Bedi partnered with Max Life Insurance for its
marquee ‘India Protection Quotient’ (IPQ) survey 4.0 to reinforce the importance of financial
awareness. Conducted in
association with Kantar, IPQ 4.0 was administered entirely online surveying 5,729 respondents
across 25 Indian cities [between
10 December 2021 to 14 January 2022], making it one of the most comprehensive
financial studies carried out during the recent wave of Covid-19.
The survey captures the financial sentiment of urban India and in its latest edition, reflects a significant increase in security levels amid a gradual return to the pre-pandemic way of life. One of the key findings from IPQ 4.0 is the decrease in Covid-induced anxieties as majority of the respondents are reprioritizing savings for children’s education and retirement planning.
Commenting on the launch of the survey, actor Boman Irani said, “The pandemic has taught us one essential point – the importance of financial protection. This is relevant for all of us, who are trying to be the difference for our loved ones in these challenging times and here is where India Protection Quotient plays a vital role. By indexing the financial preparedness, the survey serves as a barometer of how financially protected India is. The insights from IPQ should encourage us to be financially conscious and secured at all times and I am confident that such initiatives will help widen and deepen life insurance awareness across the country.”
Actor and fitness enthusiast Mandira Bedi further added, “Health and fitness is my passion and today, we are seeing greater focus being placed on the self and building wellbeing. I always look for platforms that give me an opportunity to highlight the importance of personal wellness and with IPQ there is an inherent resonance. The survey is a step forward in creating a financially fit India – one that is strong and conscious to overcome all challenges. As a fitness advocate, I look forward to encouraging consumers towards holistic financial and wellness planning.”
IPQ 4.0 also highlights changing consumer preferences with a significant 49% respondents seeking health and fitness benefits among a range of holistic services expected from insurers today. These also include tax planning, financial counselling and dedicated claims management services to ease claim settlements.
