11. Understanding Client Requirements To serve poor people, microinsurance must be:  Need Specific  Easy to understand  Flexible : Should provide flexibility esp. in case of credit protection  Affordable (With premiums as low as Rs. 140 for retail products our products are certainly meant to cater to the masses of the lower segments)-The A2P factor plays a very crucial role  Process for delivery is as important as the right product

15. Improvising and Improving: Making mI more accessible Typically the value addition sought by clients is:  A better understanding of their income levels and cycles  Better understanding of the risks faced  Better understanding of their social setup and hierarchies  Simplified products that can be upgraded to their changing needs and lifestyles

16. mI: Need for a dedicated effort  mI is closely linked to the concept of credit in mF  mI is linked to the income and social lifecycles of the poor clientele that is serves  mI requires the delivery of structured products & process for the market capable of upgradation over a period of time  mI as a concept is thus exposed to the vagaries of unorganized sector  mI hence necessitates a separate set of attention from the quadrangle: Regulators, Insurers, delivery partners and the ultimate insured the poor clients
