Insurance is something most people only think about when disaster strikes—or when they receive a dreaded non-renewal or premium hike notice. But Sri Ramaswamy, Founder & CEO of Charlee.ai, is on a mission to transform that narrative using AI.
Speaking at TiEcon 2025’s She Pitches, She Wins, Sri delivered a powerful pitch that struck at the heart of inefficiencies plaguing the $1.6 trillion insurance industry. Today, nearly 40% of every premium dollar is lost to administrative costs, fraud, and litigation, not to mention outdated workflows and overwhelmed claims teams.
Insurance Reimagined with AI
Charlee.ai is building the first-ever claims language model tailored specifically for the insurance industry, trained on over 60 million real-world claims spanning personal and commercial property and casualty insurance. Unlike generic LLMs, Charlee understands industry-specific terminology, data formats, and regulatory complexities.
The result? An AI-powered platform that helps insurance carriers predict, prioritize, and process claims faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost. “We match the right claim to the right person at the right time,” Sri explained.
Real Results, Real Revenue
Charlee’s AI solution is already proving its value. Carriers using the platform have reported millions in savings through improved claims workflows, predictions, and reserve recommendations. And the momentum isn’t slowing.
In just two years since its commercial launch, Charlee.ai has achieved:
- 100% YoY growth
- $2M+ ARR
- 9 enterprise customers
- A paid pilot with Amazon
- Only $6M in total funding
Charlee is not just a tech product—it’s becoming a category-defining leader in insurance AI.
A Growing Ecosystem of Innovation
Beyond claims optimization, Charlee has launched:
- Seven AI agents now in production
- Two AI certification courses to upskill insurance professionals
- Key partnerships with insurance platforms
- Active collaboration with NAIC on AI regulation in insurance
It’s this full-stack approach—technology, training, and governance—that’s helping Charlee drive digital transformation in a historically slow-moving industry.
A Rallying Cry for the Future
“Insurance protects our homes, our schools, our companies, our dreams,” Sri concluded. “It’s time to make insurance work for you, not against you.”With visionary leadership, robust traction, and category-first technology, Charlee.ai is shaping the future of insurance—and inviting the world to join in.
