Niji Sabharwal (CoFounder and CEO of AgentSync)
My guest for this episode is the co-founder and CEO of one of the newest Insurtech Unicorns in the industry. Niji Sabharwol founded a company called AgentSync with his wife Jenn Knight in 2018. They met while working at LinkedIn together where he served as the Global Sales Strategy & Operations Manager based out of Ireland and then San Francisco. Niji moved on to become the Head of Sales Strategy and Operations at Zenefits.
Zenefits was a hyper-growth HR startup that received a 4.5 billion Dollar valuation. Unfortunately, they grew too fast resulting in over hiring, reckless company culture, and disregard for insurance licensing regulation.
Niji was the guy tasked with fixing the problem. The remediation plans he set up for Zenefits helped him come up with the idea for AgentSync. He and Jenn have come up with a way for the insurance industry to automate producer licensing and compliance in real-time with software.
