ICICI Life plans to hire 20,000 women advisors by FY2027
In short
ICICI Life Insurance said it will hire 20,000 more women advisors across India by the end of FY2027. It already had more than 78,000 women advisors as of September 30, 2026, or about 32% of its advisor base, but they brought in about 45% of agency business.
This matters because the company is trying to grow its sales force and push more women into insurance jobs. The reporting does not say the cost of the plan or how fast hiring will happen.
