From Small-Town to YC Success, Kastles AI Agents Shape the Mortgage Industry [Video]

Y Combinator, or YC, the world’s largest startup accelerator, has accelerated funding for selective promising startups increasing to four batches this year. Interestingly, a number of startups founded by Indians or Indian-origin founders have been part of YC batches. One such startup from the recent YC Summer ‘24 batch is Kastle, founded by Indian-origin entrepreneurs, which aims to bring AI agents to the mortgage sector.

Rishi Choudhary, the co-founder of Kastle, has turned his journey from a small town in Orissa to Silicon Valley into a tale of ambition and innovation in the mortgage industry. With a focus on leveraging AI for customer service in finance, Choudhary along with co-founder Nitish Poddar, started Kastle to bring in AI voice agents to automate and improve customer interactions.
