    MARKETING

    Marketing is the process by which companies create customer interest in goods

    or services. It generates the strategy that underlines sales techniques, businesscommunication, and business developments. It is an integrated process through which

    companies build strong customer relationships and creates value for their customers and for

    themselves.

    Marketing is used to identify the customer, to satisfy the customer, and to retain the

    customer. With the customer as the focus of its activities, it can be concluded that

    marketing management is one of the major components of business management.

    Marketing evolved to meet the stasis in developing new markets caused by mature markets

    and overcapacities in the last 2-3 centuries. The adoption of marketing strategies requires

    businesses to shift their focus from production to the perceived needs and wants of their

    customers as the means of staying profitable.

    The term marketing conceptholds that achieving organizational goals depends on knowing

    the needs and wants oftarget markets and delivering the desired results. It proposes that in

    order to satisfy its organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate the needs

    and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively than competitors

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

    Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how

    products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.

    Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total

    customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings)

    exceeds specified satisfaction goals." In a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers,

    71 percent responded that they found a customer satisfaction metric very useful in

    managing and monitoring their businesses.

    It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a Balanced

    Scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers,

    customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key

    element of business strategy.

    "Within organizations, customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects. They focus

    employees on the importance of fulfilling customers expectations. Furthermore, when

    these ratings dip, they warn of problems that can affect sales and profitability. . . . These

    metrics quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal customers, it gains positive

    word-of-mouth marketing, which is both free and highly effective."

    Therefore, it is essential for businesses to effectively manage customer satisfaction. To be

    able do this, firms need reliable and representative measures of satisfaction.

    "In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service

    has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction.

    When customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed

    and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a luxury resort,for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget moteleven though its

    facilities and service would be deemed superior in 'absolute' terms."

    The importance of customer satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased bargaining

    power. For example, cell phone plan providers, such as AT&T and Verizon, participate in an

    industry that is an oligopoly, where only a few suppliers of a certain product or service exist.

    As such, many cell phone plan contracts have a lot of fine print with provisions that they

    would never get away if there were, say, a hundred cell phone plan providers, because

    customer satisfaction would be way too low, and customers would easily have the option of

    leaving for a better contract offer.

    There is a substantial body of empirical literature that establishes the benefits of customer

    satisfaction for firms.

    Types of Customer Satisfaction Surveys

    Customer satisfaction is a key component of a good business, and the only way to accurately

    gauge customer satisfaction is using some type of customer satisfaction measurement,

    often a survey. Surveys allow your business to learn from how the actual customer is

    experiencing your business, rather than simply relying on what your subjective eyes and

    ears tell you. Customer satisfaction surveys come in several different shapes and styles, andmost companies come up with their own unique way of gauging satisfaction accurately.

    Satisfaction for an insurance company, for example, may not be the same as satisfaction at a

    grocery store. The type of business, client list, etc., all change satisfaction results. Yet in

    general, most surveys fall under two categories:

    Direct Transaction Surveys

    Overall Satisfaction Surveys

    Both of these types of surveys can provide you with interesting results that may affect your

    own marketing or business strategy. Both have completely different results and relate back

    to your company in completely different ways. The basics of these two surveys are

    described below. Direct Transaction Surveys This type of customer satisfaction survey isimmediate, and is designed to gauge how the customer viewed a very specific transaction

    namely, the transaction that (hopefully) immediately preceded filling out the survey. For

    example, how easy was it for you to find help and what was your experience like on

    DATE? These surveys are not necessarily interested in your overall opinion of the company.

    They are primarily concerned with your most recent transaction. Overall Satisfaction

    Surveys Sometimes referred to as relationship surveys, these surveys are designed to

    gauge how the customer feels about the company in general, based on a combination of all

    of their experiences and any additional factors that may affect that result. Rarely are these

    surveys purposely given to customers immediately following a transaction, although they

    may be colored by the most recent experience if that experience was particularly awful orpleasant. Using These Customer Satisfaction Surveys Ideally, your own customer satisfaction

    survey should have questions that are most relevant to the questions you are trying to

    answer, in order to ultimately provide you with the best analysis. Customer satisfaction

    surveys often differ from one survey to the next based on how the company wants to drive

    its research. But most surveys fall under one of the two categories, depending on whetheryou are looking to find out about specific customer experiences or hoping to gauge the

    overall satisfaction level with the company.

    Customer satisfaction refers to how satisfied customers are with the products or services

    they receive from a particular agency. The level of satisfaction is determined not only by the

    quality and type of customer experience but also by the customers expectations.

    A customer may be defined as someone who:

    has a direct relationship with, or is directly affected by your agency and receives or relies on one or more of your agencys services or products.

    Customers in human services are commonly referred to as service users, consumers or

    clients. They can be individuals or groups.

    An organization with a strong customer service culture places the customer at the center of

    service design, planning and service delivery. Customer centric organizations will:

    determine the customers expectations when they plan listen to the customer as they design focus on the delivery of customer service activities Value customer feedback when they measure performance.

    There are a number of reasons why customer satisfaction is important in Insurance Sector:

    Meeting the needs of the customer is the underlying rationale for the existence ofcommunity service organizations. Customers have a right to quality services that

    deliver outcomes.

    Organizations that strive beyond minimum standards and exceed the expectations oftheir customers are likely to be leaders in their sector.

    Customers are recognized as key partners in shaping service development andassessing quality of service delivery.

    The process for measuring customer satisfaction and obtaining feedback on organizational

    performance are valuable tools for quality and continuous service improvement.

    The Importance of Customer Satisfaction

    Sometimes companies are misguided by the notion that customers depend on them. The

    truth of the matter is that we very much so depend on them. Many researchers and

    academia have highlighted the importance of customers in todays market.

  • 7/29/2019 Report of Bajaj Allianz

    5/47

    The level of satisfaction a customer has with a company has profound effects. Studies have

    found that the level of customers satisfaction has a positive effect on profitability:

    A totally satisfied customer contributes 2.6 times as much revenue to a company asa somewhat satisfied customer. A totally satisfied customer contributes 17 times as much revenue as a somewhat

    dissatisfied customer.

    A totally dissatisfied customer decreases revenue at a rate equal to 18 times what atotally satisfied customer contributes to a company.

    Research has shown that when a person is satisfied with a company or service they are likely

    to share their experience with other people to the order of perhaps five or six people.

    However, dissatisfied customers are likely to tell another ten people of their unfortunate

    experience. With social media readily available for consumers to tell their story to all ofthose online, you can easily go to Twitter or Facebook and read about someones

    experience with a company or service.

    However, merely focusing solely on customer satisfaction has its drawbacks in the

    marketplace as well. For those companies that focus only on customer satisfaction run a

    real risk a failing to differentiate their brand from others. In order to achieve long-term

    sustainability companies must seek to establish ties of loyalty with consumers that are

    strong enough to ward off the advances of competitors. Creating loyalty among customers

    can help the company to increase purchases of existing products, charge premium prices for

    appreciation of your added-value services, and create positive word-of-mouth promotion

    for your company, which is the core marketing objective for companies.

    Customer loyalty is much harder to obtain than satisfaction. Even though customers are

    satisfied with the company there are several factors that could cause the customer to defect

    to the competition, such as finding a better value or the competitor is more convenient.

    With that said, having high levels of customer satisfaction does not always lead to customer

    loyalty. However, a company cannot achieve customer loyalty without having customer

    satisfaction.

    Thus, though customer satisfaction does not guarantee the repurchase from a company but

    it does play a very important role in achieving customer loyalty. Conducting customer

    satisfaction research will provide your company with the necessary insight it needs to make

    informed decisions in order to retain and increase your customer base and improve

    customer relationships.

    Measuring and Managing Customer Satisfaction

    Measuring customer satisfaction is a relatively new concept to many companies that have

    been focused exclusively on income statements and balance sheets. Companies now

    recognize that the new global economy has changed things forever. Increased competition,

    crowded markets with little product differentiation and years of continual sales growth

  • 7/29/2019 Report of Bajaj Allianz

    6/47

    6

    followed by two decades of flattened sales curves have indicated to today's sharp

    competitors that their focus must change.

    Competitors that are prospering in the new global economy recognize that meas-uringcustomer satisfaction is key. Only by doing so can they hold on to the customers they have

    and understand how to better attract new customers. The competitors who will be

    successful recognize that customer satisfaction is a critical strategic weapon that can bring

    increased market share and increased profits.

    The problem companies face, however, is exactly how to do all of this and do it well. They

    need to understand how to quantify, measure and track customer satisfaction. Without a

    clear and accurate sense of what needs to be measured and how to collect, analyze and use

    the data as a strategic weapon to drive the business, no firm can be effective in this new

    business climate. Plans constructed using customer satisfaction research results can bedesigned to target customers and processes that are most able to extend profits.

    Too many companies rely on outdated and unreliable measures of customer satisfaction.

    They watch sales volume. They listen to sales reps describing their customers' states of

    mind. They track and count the frequency of complaints. And they watch aging accounts

    receivable reports, recognizing that unhappy customers pay as late as possible--if at all.

    While these approaches are not completely without value, they are no substitute for a valid,

    well-designed customer satisfaction surveying program.

    It's no surprise to find that market leaders differ from the rest of the industry in that they're

    designed to hear the voice of the customer and achieve customer satisfaction. In these

    companies:

    Marketing and sales employees are primarily responsible for designing (withcustomer input) customer satisfaction surveying programs, questionnaires and focus

    groups.

    Top management and marketing divisions champion the programs. Corporate evaluations include not only their own customer satisfaction ratings but

    also those of their competitors.

    Satisfaction results are made available to all employees. Customers are informed about changes brought about as the direct result of

    listening to their needs.

    Internal and external quality measures are often tied together. Customer satisfaction is incorporated into the strategic focus of the company via the

    mission statement.

    Stakeholder compensation is tied directly to the customer satisfaction surveyingprogram.

    A concentrated effort is made to relate the customer satisfaction measurementresults to internal process metrics.

    To be successful, companies need a customer satisfaction surveying system thatmeets the following criteria:

  • 7/29/2019 Report of Bajaj Allianz

    7/47

    7

    The system must be relatively easy to design and understand. It must be credible enough that employee performance and compensation can be

    attached to the final results.

    It must generate actionable reports for management.Defining customer satisfaction

    Because the concept of customer satisfaction is new to many companies, it's important to

    be clear on exactly what's meant by the term.

    Customer satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about a company when their

    expectations have been met or exceeded over the lifetime of the product or service. The

    achievement of customer satisfaction leads to company loyalty and product repurchase.

    There are some important implications of this definition:

    Because customer satisfaction is a subjective, no quantitative state, measurementwon't be exact and will require sampling and statistical analysis.

    Customer satisfaction measurement must be undertaken with an understanding ofthe gap between customer expectations and attribute performance perceptions.

    There should be some connection between customer satisfaction measurement andbottom-line results

    "Satisfaction" itself can refer to a number of different facts of the relationship with a

    customer. For example, it can refer to any or all of the following:

    Satisfaction with the quality of a particular product or service Satisfaction with an ongoing business relationship Satisfaction with the price-performance ratio of a product or service Satisfaction because a product/service met or exceeded the customer's expectations

    Each industry could add to this list according to the nature of the business and the specific

    relationship with the customer. Customer satisfaction measurement variables will differ

    depending on what type of satisfaction is being researched. For example, manufacturers

    typically desire on-time delivery and adherence to specifications, so measures of satisfactiontaken by suppliers should include these critical variables.

    Clearly defining and understanding customer satisfaction can help any company identify

    opportunities for product and service innovation and serve as the basis for performance

    appraisal and reward systems. It can also serve as the basis for a customer satisfaction

    surveying program that can ensure that quality improvement efforts are properly focused

    on issues that are most important to the customer.

    Customer Satisfaction Measurement Facts

    A 5-percent increase in loyalty can increase profits by 25%-85%.

  • 7/29/2019 Report of Bajaj Allianz

    8/47

    8

    A very satisfied customer is nearly six times more likely to be loyal and to repurchaseand/or recommend your product than is a customer who is just satisfied.

    Only 4 percent of dissatisfied customers will complain. The average customer with a problem eventually tells nine other people. Satisfied customers tell five other people about their good treatment.

    Objectives of a customer satisfaction surveying program

    In addition to a clear statement defining customer satisfaction, any successful surveying

    program must have a clear set of objectives that, once met, will lead to improved

    performance. The most basic objectives that should be met by any surveying program

    include the following:

    Understanding the expectations and requirements of all your customers Determining how well your company and its competitors are satisfying these

    expectations and requirements

    Developing service and/or product standards based on your findings Examining trends over time in order to take action on a timely basis Establishing priorities and standards to judge how well you've met these goals

    Before an appropriate customer satisfaction surveying program can be designed, the

    following basic questions must be clearly answered:

    How will the information we gather be used? How will this information allow us to take action inside the organization? How should we use this information to keep our customers and find new ones?

    Careful consideration must be given to what the organization hopes to accomplish, how the

    results will be disseminated to various parts of the organization and how the information

    will be used. There is no point asking customers about a particular service or product if it

    won't or can't be changed regardless of the feedback.

    Conducting a customer satisfaction surveying program is a burden on the organization and

    its customers in terms of time and resources. There is no point in engaging in this work

    unless it has been thoughtfully designed so that only relevant and important information is

    gathered. This information must allow the organization to take direct action. Nothing ismore frustrating than having information that indicates a problem exists but fails to isolate

    the specific cause. Having the purchasing department of a manufacturing firm rate the sales

    and service it received on its last order on a scale of 1 (terrible) to 7 (magnificent) would

    yield little about how to improve sales and service to the manufacturer.

    The lesson is twofold. First, general questions are often not that helpful in customer

    satisfaction measurement, at least not without many other more specific questions

    attached. Second, the design of an excellent customer satisfaction surveying program is

    more difficult than it might first appear. It requires more than just writing a few questions,

    designing a questionnaire, calling or mailing some customers, and then tallying the results.

    Understanding differing customer attitudes

    The most basic objective of a customer satisfaction surveying program is to generate valid

    and consistent customer feedback (i.e., to receive the voice of the customer, which can thenbe used to initiate strategies that will retain customers and thus protect the most valuable

    corporate asset--loyal customers).

    As it's determined what needs to be measured and how the data relate to loyalty and

    repurchase, it becomes important to examine the mind-set of customers the instant they

    are required to make a pre-purchase (or repurchase) decision or a recommendation

    decision. Surveying these decisions leads to measures of customer loyalty. In general, the

    customer's pre-purchase mind-set will fall into one of three categories--rejection (will avoid

    purchasing if at all possible), acceptance (satisfied, but will shop for a better deal), and/or

    preference (delighted and may even purchase at a higher price).

    This highly subjective system that customers themselves apply to their decisions is based

    primarily on input from two sources:

    The customers' own experiences--each time they experience a product or service,deciding whether that experience is great, neutral or terrible. These are known as

    "moments of truth."

    The experiences of other customers--each time they hear something about acompany, whether it's great, neutral or terrible. This is known as "word-of-mouth."

    There is obviously a strong connection between these two inputs. An exceptional

    experience leads to strong word-of-mouth recommendations. Strong recommendations

    influence the experience of the customer, and many successful companies have capitalized

    on that link.

    INDUSTRIAL PROFILE

    INSURANCE

    Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to

    hedge against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of

    the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium. An insurer is a

    company selling the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount,

    called the premium, to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage. Risk

    management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field

    of study and practice.

    Insurance in India

    The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive

    market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the developments

    in the Indian insurance sector reveals the 360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almosttwo centuries.

    Insurance is a federal subject in India and has a history dating back to 1818. Life and

    general insurance in India is still a nascent sector with huge potential for various global

    players with the life insurance premiums accounting to 2.5% of the country's GDP while

    general insurance premiums to 0.65% of India's GDP. The Insurance sector in India has gone

    through a number of phases and changes, particularly in the recent years when the Govt. of

    India in 1999 opened up the insurance sector by allowing private companies to solicit

    insurance and also allowing FDI up to 26%. Ever since, the Indian insurance sector is

    considered as a booming market with every other global insurance company wanting tohave a lion's share. Currently, the largest life insurance company in India is still owned by

    the government.

    History of Insurance in India

    Insurance in India has its history dating back till 1818, when Oriental Life Insurance

    Company was started by Europeans in Kolkata to cater to the needs of European

    community. Pre-independent era in India saw discrimination among the life of foreigners

    and Indians with higher premiums being charged for the latter. It was only in the year 1870,

    Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, the first Indian insurance company covered Indian

    lives at normal rates.At the dawn of the twentieth century, insurance companies started mushrooming

    up. In the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and the Provident Fund Act were

    passed to regulate the insurance business. The Life Insurance Companies Act 1912 made it

    necessary that the premium rate tables and periodical valuations of companies should be

    certified by an actuary. However, the disparage still existed as discrimination between

    Indian and foreign companies. The oldest existing insurance company in India is National

    Insurance Company Ltd, which was founded in 1906 and is doing business even today.

    Insurance industry, earlier comprised of only two state insurers. Life Insurers i.e. Life

    Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurers i.e. General Insurance Corporation

    of India (GIC). GIC had four subsidiary companies.

  • 7/29/2019 Report of Bajaj Allianz

    13/47

    13

    With effect from December 2000, these subsidiaries have been de-linked from

    parent company and made as independent insurance companies: Oriental Insurance

    Company Limited, New India Assurance Company Limited, National Insurance Company

    Limited and United India Insurance Company Limited.

    A brief history of the Insurance sector

    The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year

    1818: With the establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. 1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to

    regulate the life insurance business.

    1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government tocollect statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.

    1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with theobjective of protecting the interests of the insuring public. 1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the

    central government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC

    Act,1956, with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.

    The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the

    Triton Insurance Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in

    the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British.

    Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in India are:

    1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company to transact all classesof general insurance business.

    1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of India, frames a code

    of conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.

    1968: The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set minimum solvency

    margins and the Tariff Advisory Committee set up.

    1972: The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized the general

    insurance business in India with effect from 1st January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated

    and grouped into four companies viz.

    The National Insurance Company Ltd.

    The New India Assurance Company Ltd.

    The Insurance Company Ltd. And

    The United India Insurance Company Ltd.

    GIC incorporated as a company.

    Insurance sector reforms

    In 1993, Malhotra Committee headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI Governor R.

    N. Malhotra was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its

    future direction. The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of complementing

    the reforms initiated in the financial sector.

    The reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive financial system

    suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in mind the structural changes

  • 7/29/2019 Report of Bajaj Allianz

    14/47

    14

    currently underway and recognizing that insurance is an important part of the overall

    financial system where it was necessary to address the need for similar reforms

    In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the key recommendations

    included;Structure

    Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%. Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these

    subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.

    All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate.Competition

    Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs.1bn should be allowed toenter the industry.

    No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a single entity. Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with thedomestic companies.

    Postal Life Insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market. Only one State Level Life Insurance Company should be allowed to operate in each

    state.

    Regulatory Body

    The Insurance Act should be changed. An Insurance Regulatory body should be set up. Controller of Insurance (Currently a part from the Finance Ministry) should be made

    independent.

    Investments

    Mandatory Investments of LIC Life Fund in government securities to be reduced from75% to 50%.

    GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5% in any company (There currentholdings to be brought down to this level over a period of time).

    Customer Service

    LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days. Insurance companies must be encouraged to set up unit linked pension plans. Computerization of operations and updating of technology to be carried out in the

    insurance industry.

    The committee emphasized that in order to improve the customer services and increase the

    coverage of the insurance industry should be opened up to competition. But at the same

    time, the committee felt the need to exercise caution as any failure on the part of new

    players could ruin the public confidence in the industry. Hence, it was decided to allow

    competition in a limited way by stipulating the minimum Capital requirement of Rs.100

    crores. The committee felt the need to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in

    order to improve their performance and enable them to act as independent companies with

    economic motives. For this purpose, it had proposed setting up an independent regulatory

    body.

    The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority

    Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA Bill in

    Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its incorporation as a statutory body in April

    2000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulations and registering the privatesector insurance companies. The other decisions taken simultaneously to provide the

    supporting systems to the insurance sector and in particular the life insurance companies

    were the launch of the IRDAs online service for issue and renewal of licenses to agents. The

    approval of institutions for imparting training to agents has also ensured that the insurance

    companies would have a trained workforce of insurance agents in place to sell their

    products, which are expected to be introduced by early next year.

    Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a framework of

    globally compatible regulations. Total number of life insurers under the Authority has gone

    up to 21, while total number of general insurers registered with IRDA has reached 20.

    Insurance Sector

    4.47 Reforms in the insurance sector commenced with the enactment of the Insurance

    Regulatory and Development Authority Act 1999, which facilitated the entry of private

    insurance companies into the Indian insurance market. The Insurance Regulatory and

    Development Authority (IRDA) was set up on April 19, 2000 to protect the interest of the

    holders of insurance policies, and to regulate, promote and ensure orderly growth of the

    insurance industry.

    Personal Interview

    This method was the most appropriate way of survey, because by personal interview I came

    to know about how the respondents feel about the life insurance companies. The personalinterview is conducting mainly for collecting information for fulfill of the questionnaire.

    Questionnaire

    This method proved to be even better because it was not possible to interview every one

    and it was less time consuming to fill up the questionnaire rather than answering the

    interviewers questions. The questionnaire is to prepare to know the awareness level. The

    questionnaire is fully focused for collecting the brand awareness information and finding the

    market potential of Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Corporation.

    Data collection instruments

    Questionnaire was designed as a main instrument to conduct survey. A questionnaire

    purpose of knowing the brand awareness among Life Insurance Company and changing

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    The present study is based on the datas collected from vizag so its results may notbe applicable to other areas.

    Convenience sampling was used so all the limitations pertaining to this may alsobecame a part in the findings of this study.

    At times the question had to be explained to the respondents due to their ignorancethat could have influenced their views.

    The time span was the another constraint, for the preparation of the questionnairelot of study and consultation were required, so that it could be presented in such a

    way that could be acceptable to the respondent.

    Company can design some products exclusively for rural areas keeping is mind therural conditions.

    Locking period should be reduce which can attract more investors .

    It can distribute discount coupons to its prime customers on special Occasions, thiswill keep the customer happy and satisfied.

    Since the company has a tie up with Bajaj Auto, syndicate Bank Standard ChartedBank It can plan out some schemes with the banks that are beneficiary for the

    customers. (Like being the customer of Bajaj Allianz they can avail some benefit of

    Bajaj Auto. Standard charted bank, and syndicate Bank.).
