As a part of this initiative, a wide range of initiatives will be rolled out across Max Life’s network of over 240 Max Life’s offices and a wider network of its distribution partners. These will include customer education initiatives for all age groups across a wide range of cities. As a part of the initiative the Company will also drive a “Super Customer Week”, where customers across the board will be educated about various aspects of financial protection.

Speaking at the launch of the initiative, Aalok Bhan, Director and Chief Marketing Officer, Max Life stated that, “We are in the business of helping people secure the true value of their lives through financial protection to ensure happiness of their families. Celebration of Protection Day every month is a definitive step towards creating a financially secure society. Generally, number 6 denotes love and harmony, which is also symbolic of secured financial future. This is the reason why we selected the 6^th day of the calendar month to be a celebration of protection.”

As per the Max Life India Protection Quotient survey, Indians are underprepared to face financial instability caused by life events. The survey also states that consumers of life insurance feel under-protected because of low uptake, lack of awareness and ownership of term insurance. One of the key finding of the survey was poor awareness levels leading to inadequacy of cover.
