The Financial Technology Report has named three Indian American executives among the “Top 25 InsurTech Executives” of 2021.

“This year’s executives are at the vanguard of a new era for the rapidly growing InsurTech sector, as the next generation of businesses and consumers seeks the highest-quality insurance services that fit their needs for convenience and affordability,” said a press release by The Financial Technology Report.
The Indian American executives named to the list are Art Agrawal, Jack Kudale and Rajeev Gupta.
Art Agrawal is the co-founder and CEO of Jerry, a car ownership super app, according to the release.

Today, the company saves more than 1.5 million customers an average of $850 per year, it said.
Agrawal, who started his first company at 22, attended Drexel University.

He earned an engineer’s degree in electronics and telecommunications engineering from the University of Pune.
