As of the latest available data:
-
LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) sold approximately 91.7 lakh individual policies in the first half of FY2025 alone. However, LIC does not publicly break down the number of policies sold by individual plans like Jeevan Umang.
-
For HDFC Life, the total number of policies sold (individual + group) in a past financial year was around 8.97 lakh, with over 6.1 crore lives covered across all plans. Again, specific figures for Sanchay Plus aren’t disclosed separately.
So while both plans are popular, especially for long-term income and legacy planning, the exact number of policies sold for Jeevan Umang or Sanchay Plus individually isn’t publicly available.
- Growth through innovation/creativity:
Rather than be constrained by ideas for new products, services and new markets coming from just a few people, a Thinking Corporation can tap into the employees. - Increased profits:
The corporation will experience an increase in profits due to savings in operating costs as well as sales from new products, services and ventures.
- Higher business values:
The link between profits and business value means that the moment a corporation creates a new sustainable level of profit, the business value is adjusted accordingly. - Lower staff turnover:
This, combined with the culture that must exist for innovation and creativity to flourish, means that new employees will be attracted to the organization.
