Summary
Twin Growth Drivers

Demographic Transition

Economic Development
Lowering Dependency Ratio …
…leading to growth in Household Financial Savings

Reducing dependency could trigger a self-reinforcing savings growth dynamic in the next decade

• Expected demographic trends suggest,

in light of experience elsewhere, in the
next decade India’s national savings
could rise to 30% or more

• Bulk of the savings contributed by

Households

• Decline in share of financial savings a

negative – however expected to
increase with development of financial
system and higher awareness

Drivers of Growth

Challenges

Summary
 Challenges of Intermediation in India
Size of the country and dispersed affluent population

Lack of Data – specially the area of Health

Attracting the Talent Pool

Evolving Regulatory Environment

 Size & Dispersion of Population
Area : 2973190 sq. Kms.

More than 70% of population in rural areas

• More than a third of Mass affluent & rich households in
rural areas

5161 towns & cities comprise urban India

 Challenges from lack of Data
No single customer identification number like social
security number

Single Mortality table used

• No cuts available by geography or customer segment

Health records not available

• Health incidence data or morbidity tables not
developed
• No consolidated medical individual history available
• No standard definition of conditions & surgeries
 Attracting the Talent Pool

Increasing attrition levels

• Poaching within & across industries
• Attrition at frontline sales level around 20%

Pay hikes
• Salary increases grossly out pace inflation
• Projected increases to continue at a minimum 10-12%
 Evolving Regulatory Environment

Multiple Regulators

Pension reforms on the anvil

Tax rules in flux

• Creates distortions in incentives to invest in various
financial instruments

Regulations still evolving as regulators gain maturity
