Gangkhar

What Gangkhar does

Gangkhar is a Delaware-incorporated insurtech founded in 2024 that operates an AI-native embedded protection infrastructure platform targeting digital platforms, insurers, and Managing General Agents (MGAs) globally. The company orchestrates capacity, compliance, data, and operations through a single API integration, allowing platforms in mobility, delivery, fintech, e-commerce, travel, health, PropTech, and vertical SaaS to embed insurance products without building in-house insurance capabilities. Its primary geographic focus is Latin America, where insurance penetration stands at 3.1% of GDP and the protection gap is estimated at $300 billion, with secondary footprints in the Americas, Southeast Asia, Europe, and MENA.

The company's product surface is the modular Sherpa+ Platform, which consists of three interconnected layers: Sherpa+ (a full insurance operations engine handling multi-carrier orchestration, policy automation, claims management, and regulatory compliance), Sherpa+Lens (an AI optimization engine providing dynamic pricing, risk profiling, conversion optimization, and loss ratio control using real-time program data), and Sherpa+Engage (an activation and distribution layer that embeds contextual offers, embedded checkout, and loyalty mechanics into real user journeys). Supporting API products include a Configurator API, Integration Kit with Expert SDKs, a Settlement API (supporting both crypto and traditional payment rails), and a Claims & Compliance Module. The platform processes structured transaction data and text-based claims/compliance data, and is GDPR-compliant for applicable EU jurisdictions.

Gangkhar operates a B2B infrastructure business model, generating revenue through platform licensing, API usage fees, and service arrangements with digital platforms and capacity providers. It does not underwrite risk itself; instead it orchestrates multiple carriers and reinsurers (including a strategic alliance with MIC Global for micro-income insurance and an MoU with Qatar Insurance Group for MENA expansion) and earns platform/infrastructure fees on a recurring basis. The company has a 22-person team with physical presence across the Americas, LATAM, SEA, and Europe, supported by an advisory board of senior industry veterans from Visa, Mastercard, Citigroup, and MetLife. As of the March 2026 close of a $4.25 million seed round led by Anthemis, Gangkhar has 20 capacity providers with embedded insurance programs in various stages of activation or testing.
