The future is bright indeed and India is a fiercely comptetive market in terms of insurance. There are one too many players and there is a lot of scope for expansion as the vast majority of the population and derivatives are not insured. Besides the Indian government has build a very healthy and mature framework in tersm of the IRDA which in turns ensures good governance and healthy risk in an otherwise risky business. As for career opportunites well they abound and have good growth prospects if ya have the right skills and aptitude.

Since disposable income is on the rise, and there is a growing awareness even among the youngster to protect themselves, their possessions and their near and dear ones, insurance has definitely received an upthrust since the 21st century. A candidate needs to have a degree in finance to take up insurance as a career. Since there is lot of competition between the insurance companies, there is a lot of hiring going on with higher incentives to join.
