Further the burden of educating consumers will also be shared among many players. 3) International companies will help in building world class expertise in local market by introducing the best global practice.

THREATS: 1) Other private insurance companies also aiming for the same uninsured population. 2) Big public sector insurance companies like Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India, National Insurance Company Limited, Oriental Insurance Limited, New India Assurance Company Limited and United India Insurance Company Limited. People have more trust in these companies. 3) Poaching of customer base by other companies. 4) Most people don’t understand the need or are not willing to take Insurance policies in general.

4.2 HDFC Bank vs. ICICI Bank: Indian Banks Compared……… HDFC and ICICI are major financial and banking services organizations in India. HDFC stands for Housing Development Finance Corporation and ICICI is the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India. It was in the 1990’s that the government of India decided upon a policy of liberalization under the leadership of Narsimha Rao. This policy allowed private banks to become established in India although small in number. The first among these banks was Global Trust Bank after which various others like Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank emerged. This gave a boost to the banking sector in India…………..

ICICI Bank ICICI is the largest private sector bank and 2nd largest bank overall in India. It was formerly known as Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India. The bank has its presence all over India and even abroad (Present in 18 countries) with more than 2000 branches and over 5000 ATM’s. It provides a host of banking services to both corporate and retail customers apart from being fairly successful in life insurance (ICICI Prudential), venture capital (ICICI Direct) and asset management.

4.7 HDFC vs. ICICI as investment options The times have never been more challenging for the top two private sector banks — ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. Their stocks have underperformed the Sensex since the start of the market meltdown in January '08. The recent interest rate hike by the RBI indicates that the going can be much tougher in the coming quarters. ET Intelligence Group compares the performance of both banks and evaluates the prospects of investing in them.

PERFORMANCE HDFC Bank reported over 30 per cent y-o-y growth in net profit in the June '08 quarter. The stability in earnings growth of HDFC Bank is much higher than that of ICICI Bank. The gap in the profit growth between the two banks was not high till the March '08 quarter. But ICICI started showing signs of a slowdown in its retail loan book in the March '08 quarter itself. This was evident as HDFC Bank posted a growth of 39 per cent in its retail advances in FY08, while ICICI managed to grow its retail advances by only 15 per cent (before securitization). This shows that only better expense management helped ICICI to post high profit growth in the quarter ended March '08.
