In India, more and more people are exploring side hustles. For many, becoming an HDFC Life insurance agent starts as a part-time income source. But with dedication, referrals, and consistent sales, it often turns into a full-time profession with impressive earnings.
Here are some real-life inspired journeys that highlight this transformation.
👩💼 Ritu – A Teacher Turned Advisor
Ritu, a schoolteacher from Jaipur, began selling HDFC Life policies in her free time. At first, she sold 2–3 small plans a month, making ₹18,000–₹25,000 extra income.
Her turning point came when she realized most parents in her school were looking for child education and term insurance plans. By focusing on these needs, her monthly income grew to ₹60,000 within a year. Today, she is a full-time HDFC Life advisor, earning over ₹1 lakh a month.
