Description:

In this episode, Raution Jaiswal reveals how he built InsuredMine from $40,000 in funding to $5 million ARR, competing against giants like Salesforce in the US insurance agency software market.  

Starting as an immigrant founder with no insurance background, Raution bootstrapped his way through the brutal early days, moonlighting while building his first product, pivoting from a consumer app to B2B CRM, and eventually capturing 17 of the top 50 insurance agencies in America.   

He shared the journey in this candid conversation with host Akshay Datt. Raution breaks down his "Trojan Horse" go-to-market strategy, positioning InsuredMine as a friendly add-on to legacy systems before becoming the central hub of agency operations. He discusses why modern product architecture is his secret weapon, how he's embracing AI to move from automation to prescriptive intelligence, and why he chose to return to India after 18 years in the US to run his American business and give back through his foundation. This is a masterclass in vertical SaaS, capital efficiency, and contrarian company building in a massive but overlooked market.
