Sonny Patel is the founder and CEO of Insurmi, an AI-based engagement platform for insurance carriers.

He started the company just three years ago at the age of 21 while working as a sales director and financial advisor at a top life insurance company where he realized the process of buying and selling insurance was unnecessarily cumbersome and outdated.
