Only 3 in 10 Gig Workers Own Term Insurance, Despite 9 in 10 Prioritizing Family Financial Goals – Axis Max Life IPQ 7.0
Axis Max Life Insurance Ltd. formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company Ltd ('Axis Max Life'/ 'Company'), in collaboration with Kantar, the world's leading marketing data and analytics company, has announced findings from the seventh edition of its India Protection Quotient (IPQ 7.0) survey, spotlighting a significant protection gap among gig workers compared to urban India. Only 3 in 10 Gig Workers Own Term Insurance, Despite 9 in 10 Prioritizing Family Financial Goals – Axis Max Life IPQ 7.0 Unveiling a stark contrast, the findings highlight that while urban India's Protection Quotient has reached an all-time high of 48, gig workers continue to trail with a score of 41. This reflects significant gaps in knowledge, security levels, and insurance ownership of the working community. As per IPQ 7.0, only 69% of gig workers own life insurance, considerably lower than the national urban average of 78%. This is despite 89% of them having strong family-oriented financial goals, surpassing the 81% urban India average, and a higher likelihood of adhering to healthy lifestyle practices. Prashant Tripathy, CEO & Managing Director, Axis Max Life Insurance, commented on the findings, stating, 'The findings from IPQ 7.0 uncover a critical insight: while nearly 90% of gig workers place high importance on securing their family's financial future, only 3 in 10 currently own term insurance. This highlights a significant protection gap within a rapidly expanding segment of India's workforce. As an industry, we must move beyond traditional distribution models and reimagine how protection is delivered – through deeper collaboration with digital platforms, policymakers, and ecosystem enablers. At Axis Max Life, we remain committed to shaping an inclusive insurance landscape that reflects the realities of modern work and ensures no segment is left behind.' Lower Financial Preparedness and Reactiveness in Planning The findings reveal that while gig workers are marginally more inclined to save upon receiving income, they are notably less proactive in financial planning, with nearly 40% admitting to not taking active steps towards securing their financial future. In comparison, less than 30% of urban Indians report such financial inertia. This limited reactiveness, coupled with relatively low life insurance ownership, leaves a large section of the gig workforce financially vulnerable. High Family Focus, Yet Inadequate Protection Despite their lower financial protection, gig workers exhibit a strong intent to provide for their families. However, one in three gig workers believe their family would have no financial support in the event of their untimely demise, 10 percentage points higher than the urban average. Though two in three gig workers acknowledge the importance of term insurance, only a third currently own one, and even among term insurance owners, less than half feel adequately protected. Call for Inclusive Protection Solutions These insights reflect a need for more inclusive and accessible protection solutions tailored to the gig economy, a sector that continues to expand rapidly yet remains outside the fold of traditional financial safety nets. As the nature of work evolves, so must the industry's approach to financial inclusion and long-term protection. About India Protection Quotient Instituted in 2019, India Protection Quotient is an annual Survey by Axis Max Life Insurance in association with Kantar aimed to understand the pulse of the Indian consumers in the financial protection space. Launched with the underlying objective to increase penetration of Term insurance as the most fundamental and economical form of life insurance, the survey aims to reveal the state of Urban Indians with regards to current financial security levels, changing savings & investment patterns, key anxieties & triggers of financial protection in a contemporary world. India Protection Quotient is a proprietary tool developed by Axis Max Life in partnership with Kantar to gauges the degree to which Indians feel protected from future uncertainties on a scale of 0 to 100. It is based on the attitudes, mental preparedness around future uncertainties, awareness, and ownership of life insurance product categories (Term, endowment and ULIP).

Axis Max Life Insurance on Wednesday said that its current managing director and chief executive officer (MD & CEO), Prashant Tripathy, has decided to take early retirement and will step down from his position at the end of the September quarter. Accordingly, the company's board will initiate the process to identify his successor, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.

'…I hereby express my desire to retire early from my position as the MD & CEO of Axis Max Life to devote time to my personal pursuits and priorities,' Tripathy said in his letter to the board of directors seeking early retirement. The board has approved his request, Max Financial Services—the holding company of Axis Max Life Insurance—said in an exchange notification. Tripathy took over as MD & CEO of Axis Max Life Insurance (earlier known as Max Life Insurance) in January 2019, following the resignation of then MD & CEO Rajesh Sud in September 2018. Tripathy had joined the company in 2007 and served as its MD & CEO for the last six years. '…I would like to extend our deep appreciation to Prashant for his visionary leadership and the lasting impact he has made on the company over the years,' said Rajiv Anand, chairman, Axis Max Life Insurance. Axis Max Life Insurance is a joint venture between Axis Bank and Max Financial Services. Entities of Axis Bank hold a 19.02 per cent stake in the company, while Max Financial Services holds the remaining 80.98 per cent. In a recent interview with Business Standard, Tripathy shared his vision for the company to break into the top three private sector listed life insurance players in the country. He also mentioned that once the amendments to the Insurance Act are passed, the company would initiate the listing process for Axis Max Life Insurance, which is currently quasi-listed through its holding company, Max Financial Services.
