About the Company

Fluxsolve Technovations Private Limited (incorporated 2023) builds Fuse-OS — an AI-powered Insurance Distribution Operating System.

The platform is cloud-native and AI-native, multi-tenant and modular, with enterprise security controls, configurable business rules, and integration-ready architecture.
