Presently, their telemarketing accounts for less than 15% of their business, but with a growing focus on digital channels, they aspire to reduce it to below 10%.
Bajaj Allianz is such a pesky organisation- their folks keep calling you for no reason in the name of servicing of your policy.

“Aim would ideally be even that 15% bring it down to 10, take it down to 0, so that our calls will only be service calls, all promotional activity will happen through our digital channels. That’s the aim that we want to get to,” added Bajaj.
This move aims to address the concerns of many individuals who have expressed frustration on social media regarding persistent calls from Bajaj Finance representatives attempting to sell loans. Bajaj acknowledged that the current system sometimes fails, but emphasized the importance of outreach, considering their monthly issuance of three million loans.
While Bajaj Finance receives approximately 15% of its business through telemarketing calls, this percentage holds significant weight due to the large number of small-ticket loans the company offers.
