Why we win & lose

₹-win-rate 80% · ₹20,300 Cr won vs ₹5,000 Cr lost

Clone the win reasons into low-win families; attack the top loss reason first.

Why we win
Bancassurance moat (SBI branch reach)₹9,800 Cr · 620
Brand trust & 99.4% claims settlement₹6,200 Cr · 410
Product breadth (ULIP → annuity → protection)₹4,300 Cr · 260
Why we lose
Peer VNB margin (lower-ULIP competitors)₹2,600 Cr · 180
Non-par pricing post surrender-norms₹1,500 Cr · 120
Digital-native / web-aggregator competition₹900 Cr · 90

Read it: bancassurance moat (sbi branch reach) wins the most (₹9,800 Cr); Peer VNB margin (lower-ULIP competitors) is the top loss (₹2,600 Cr) — tighten pricing discipline (see Proposal & Underwriting 360) before chasing new demand.
