Indian LGBTQIA+ Community’s Financial Protection Lags Despite High Intent – Axis Max Life India Protection Quotient 7.0

Key Findings: Protection Quotient score at 35-over 20 points below the digital urban average (56) Knowledge Index score at 61 vs. 74 for DSUI; term insurance ownership at 66% vs. 82% Financial security drops from 60 (IPQ 6.0) to 57 (IPQ 7.0) Growing concerns around breadwinner loss, medical costs, and budgeting strain Shift observed away from proactive saving and financial planning Axis Max Life InsuranceLtd. (“Axis Max Life”/ “Company”), formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company Ltd, in partnership with KANTAR, the world’s leading marketing data and analytics company, has released key insights from the seventh edition of its India Protection Quotient (IPQ) study, with a dedicated focus on the LGBTQIA+ community. As part of the Company’s ‘Bharosa Talks’ platform, this year’s study uncovers widening protection gaps that continue to affect identity-diverse segments. Indian LGBTQIA+ Community’s Financial Protection Lags Despite High Intent – Axis Max Life India Protection Quotient 7.0 With a Protection Quotient score of 35, the LGBTQIA+ cohort lags significantly behind the digital urban average of 56. The community also reports a Knowledge Index score of 61 compared to 74 for Digitally Savvy Urban Indians (DSUI), indicating a noticeable gap in awareness. While 66% of respondents report owning a term insurance plan (vs. 82% among DSUI), the community has also seen a 3-point decline in perceived financial security-dropping from 60 in IPQ 6.0 to 57 in IPQ 7.0. This decline is accompanied by increasing concerns about medical expenses, loss of a breadwinner, and daily budgeting struggles. The data signals a shift away from proactive financial planning, calling attention to the urgent need for identity-sensitive financial literacy and inclusive insurance offerings. Prashant Tripathy, CEO & Managing Director, Axis Max Life, said, “As India progresses on its journey toward financial security, it is vital that we recognise the varied realities shaping people’s protection needs. The IPQ 7.0 findings reveal that segments like the LGBTQIA+ community continue to face structural and emotional barriers to financial preparedness. This calls for not only greater awareness, but also collective effort across the industry to make protection more inclusive, accessible, and aligned to the evolving fabric of Indian society.” Implications & Path Forward The findings highlight the need for inclusive financial education, flexible product design, and advisory ecosystems that serve identity-diverse segments. For the insurance industry, this data is a call to action to bridge structural gaps and bring equitable protection to every Indian, irrespective of their identity. About India Protection Quotient Instituted in 2019, India Protection Quotient is an annual Survey by Axis Max Life Insurance in association with Kantar aimed to understand the pulse of the Indian consumers in the financial protection space.
