FIJISHI EPL - ABOUT US
Fijishi certifies whether AI decisions hold up before a regulator, a court or an insurer. It is based in Pune, was incorporated in May 2023 and is led by its two founders, Akhil Sharma and Preethi Sharma.
The thinking behind it started earlier. In 2007 Akhil began university as the 2008 financial crisis was building. The crisis showed what happens when the frameworks meant to hold institutions accountable cannot see failure coming, or stop it once it arrives.
The same question now arises with AI. Insurers and other firms use AI in underwriting, claims, credit and other consequential decisions, and the rules that govern those decisions are set out and enforced to different degrees from one jurisdiction to the next. When such a decision is challenged, the question is practical: can the organisation show which rule the decision met, who was accountable and who could stop it?
That question is Fijishis work. Compliance frameworks set out which rules to follow. Technical assurance tests whether a system works. Fijishi asks the question that comes after both, and offers certification and review to firms, including insurers and reinsurers, through Fijishi Constitutional Assurance (FCA), FSDA and Juris.
Our public work is free to read: the Fijishi Jurisdiction Index, first published on 12 October 2026, with a new edition due each year on the second Monday of October; the Regulatory Deadline Calendar; and our research papers and public-consultation submissions since 2023. Our Index method is published, and every correction is public, dated and logged.
How we keep our work independent: Governance. Who we are: Founders.
