Our story

  1. 2002

    Insurance operations, from the start

    Our founder set up and ran the India operations of Patra Corp from 2002 to 2004, learning insurance agency work from the ground up. That operation grew into one of the largest outsourcing providers in insurance.

  2. 2010

    eDesk, built on referrals

    He founded eDesk to support insurance agencies directly. It grew to more than 100 people with almost no marketing, through referrals from agencies who stayed.

  3. 2026

    eDesk becomes Xassure

    On January 1, 2026, eDesk became Xassure, with the same people and the same focus on US insurance agencies.

  4. Now

    CertsDesk

    Certificates were the work agencies asked us about most, so we built a service just for them: a trained certificate team, a checklist for every request, and an app your agency and your clients can use.

How we work

  • US management, India operations

    Management, supervision and client success are in the US. The certificate team works from our operations center in Visakhapatnam (Vizag), India.

  • Insurance people, not generalists

    Our team works in agency systems every day, from new business to policy servicing, across more than 50 agency tasks.

  • Your way of working

    We learn your AMS, your holders, your wording and your rules, and write them into the steps our team follows on every one of your requests.

  • Grows with you

    Whether you send a few certificates a week or hundreds at renewal, the team scales with your volume.
