HDFC Life Protection Landscape India 2021 Morgan Stanley Investor Summit

Vibha Padalkar, MD & CEO of HDFC Life, presents on India's protection landscape at the Morgan Stanley Investor Summit, analyzing the country's massive protection gap and market opportunity. The presentation reveals that only 2.5% of the addressable urban working population purchases life insurance annually, with existing coverage at roughly 1x income versus the recommended 5-10x. India's ₹296 trillion retail protection gap represents significant growth potential for life insurers addressing mortality, disability, critical illness, and longevity risks.
