22yo looking to buy life (term) insurance

I'm a 22-year-old working professional with an annual salary of 14 LPA. I'm currently looking for term insurance with coverage extending up to around 65+ years.
Do you work in IT sector? I believe they have some tie-ups with insurance providers if they’re paying good. Although a dedicated insurance at personal level is always recommended and employer’s one lasts only till you work for them, considering the age you’re mentioning, employer’s policy would be good enough keeping in mind the risk factors.

Yes I do in the IT sector, but they only have a health insurance plan and no term insurance

I'm a 22-year-old working professional with an annual salary of 14 LPA. I'm currently looking for term insurance with coverage extending up to around 65+ years. I'm aiming for a sum insured of 2 Crores. I've obtained quotes from Policybazaar, and they are as follows:
ICICI - 1510 pm
HDFC - 1639 pm
Max - 1371 pm
My dad is hesitant about Max, so I'm focusing only on ICICI and HDFC. I also obtained quotes from Ditto Insurance, and the quotations are quite similar.
Can you all please share your thoughts on which company to consider and from where to buy the insurance policy?
Please check DM

Go with ICICI. If you go with 1 Cr+ it will fall under Elite category and the Service is far better in terms of any clarifications/responses/ service requests you raise. Also when you buy insurance dont look at coverage with todays value, consider the future value and take insurance. As a thumb rule you need to have coverage of about 20 to 30x of your current earnings.

If you are ready to go for some guaranteed return plan you will be covering the taxation as 80C and 10 D will be covered also you will be getting guaranteed return also at the same point life coverage will be there plus lump sum amount. But if looking for a term plan then you just need to pay for 10 years.

What is the need for a young person with no spouse or other responsibilities to get life insurance?
1. it takes care of their parents
2. they probably won't stay unmarried by the next 5yrs. better to take policy now & lock prices for life. benefits to be enjoyed by future wife & children

If you don't have dependent parents or siblings, and won't be marrying, then you don't need life insurance.

If any of the above applies at any time in future, they will need support in your absence. The younger you are, lower the risk, and hence lower the premium.

@Lobogris here is your answer plus it’s not life insurance its a investment plan where you are getting a guaranteed returns just for the future income or future savings

Why pay now needlessly for 5 pr 10 years until needed? Parents should have their own savings and assets. This is needless fear mongering.
