Its cool. It all started a year back. I was sure that i wanted to do some business, that too into the service sector. I was trying to figure out some gap in the market. Since i have experience of working in the life insurance industry for more than 5 years, so i wanted to do something in this sector only. One fine day, i decided that i will leave my job and become a life insurance advisor. I thought that i have done business of more than 4 crorre premium collection and sold more than 1000 policies, so why don't i work on my own as that will fetch a very good amount of incentive and more significantly i will have sufficient time to devote for my business plan.I was clear that i want to become advisor of ICICI Prudential. But, i was confused about whom should i approach. I wanted my manager to be flexible and someone who will be on my wavelength. Since i have worked in tha bancaassurance channel in Navsari and Surat, i knew nobody in the agency or tide channel of ICICI Prudential. So i had to finally depend on one of my friend from insurance sector who sent one Agency Manager to my home and i was obliged to select him. I had no other option. So i selcted him as my manager.
That was the moment when the idea struck me that if i was able to visit some website where profiles of different managers were displayed i could have selected one of my choice. From that time i started looking for such website on the net. I searched for such website on net for almost 4 months, surfing 4-5 hours everyday. Later, ehen i found no such website anywhere in the world, i decided to make a website which will display profile of managers and advisor from the life insurance sector. I created
www.alivewire.in with the help of yahoo service and started working on this concept from home, along with my job.
I also started discussing about this concept with my collegues. Vinay Lade who is my partner showed interest in this concept and he was the main person with whom i was sharing my ideas and details . I daily used to say something or the other about this idea to my wife. 3-4 months passed like this. Nothing happened, as this was a new concept and starting this business with the job was impossible.
My wife was getting bored with my everyday routine discussion. She cajoled me to take a plunge. Me and Vinay finally left our job and took this biggest risk of our life. We are convinced that we will surely bring a revolution in the insurance industry. New generation want ths best deal, everytime they spend money. So we are here to serve the insurance industry in a very unique way through our website
www.apnaadvisor.com. This website will act as catalyst and the reaction will be very positive while being a platform where buyers and sellers will come together. ApnaAdvisor team believes in this mission that this website will be very useful for eveyone who is related to insurance.
