<< Previous
Home Life Insurance was established in India with its headquarters in
Kolkata. Ramakanth Desai (Desai) is the chairman and managing director of
the company. Desai started his career as an underwriter for M & O Life
Insurance in London. Later he moved to the US and spent a considerable time
there before returning to India. Inspite of several years of experience
abroad, he is having a tough time as the head of Home Life Insurance in
India.
While the insurance sector is showing a substantial improvement in the
growth rate, the growth at Home Life is still low. Home Life offered
innovative products but most of them were not received well by the market.

Though it is too early to say that the company is in a crisis, he is
sure that the company will run into trouble if the situation continues.
One day Desai met his childhood friend Vivek Jain (Jain), who is the
director of Apna Bank in Maharashtra. Seeing Desai disturbed, Jain asked
him the reason for it.
Desai said, "I am trying my level best to improve
sales but I see no major improvements."
Jain was surprised and asked, "But why? The other insurance firms are
registering high growth rates." ... |
