Daksh Gupta is an Indian-origin entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Greptile, an artificial intelligence company that builds automated code review agents. Greptile was part of Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and is based in San Francisco.[1]
Career
Prior to founding Greptile, Gupta interned at Qualcomm and Amazon Web Services.[2]
Gupta co-founded Greptile, which develops an AI-powered code review agent that operates with full context of a software team's codebase. The product automatically reviews pull requests in GitHub and GitLab, providing in-line comments that take into account the broader codebase rather than only the lines of code being changed. According to the company, teams using Greptile catch more bugs and merge pull requests approximately four times faster on average. Greptile can be deployed via the cloud or self-hosted within a customer's own cloud infrastructure in an air-gapped virtual private cloud.[3]
The company's customers include software teams at companies such as Brex, Substack, Scale AI, Klaviyo, PostHog, and Y Combinator's own internal software team. As of 2025, more than 1,000 software teams use Greptile.[3]
Public attention
In late August and early September 2025, Gupta attracted significant media coverage for his public statements about workplace culture at Greptile and among young tech workers in San Francisco. He described what he called a "9-9-6" work schedule — working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week — amounting to a 72-hour workweek. A profile in The San Francisco Standard described him as the "poster child of AI boom's grindcore culture." Gupta stated that his company does not offer remote work and maintains long in-office hours. His comments generated widespread debate about work-life balance in the technology industry and drew comparisons to similar remarks by Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy about 70-hour workweeks.[2] As of September 2025, Gupta was 23 years old.
