LIC Chairman Shares Insights
 During a CEE custom designed programme was present, TS Vijayan,
Chairman of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). In an interaction
Vijayan said that an impeccable track record of customer
service, trust and security has been LIC’s fountainhead and
stimulus for growth. All drive and strategies at LIC, he shared,
evolved and revolved around customers.
Even during the current financial crisis, LIC, he said, has been
a judicious investor, aiming at steady and profitable growth.
“Our biggest challenge will be to minimise the impact of
fluctuations on investment of policyholders. Moreover, we have
the best risk management practices which will help us overcome
the negative impacts of volatility,” he said. He also talked
about human resource at LIC, the diverse talent pool, and the
in-house talent that keeps LIC standing tall even with advent of
the multinationals in this competitive era.
