Vijit Dhingra is a software entrepreneur and co-founder of Lark, a developer tools company that enables software teams to write end-to-end (E2E) tests in plain English. Lark is part of Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch and is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1]
Career
Prior to founding Lark's current incarnation as a testing platform, Dhingra worked at Stripe, where he helped build the usage-based billing and customer portal products.[2] His co-founder, Jack Brown, also worked on the same products at Stripe.
Dhingra and Brown initially launched Lark as a billing platform aimed at supporting complex pricing models such as credit-based, usage-based, and token-based billing. That earlier version of the company, accessible at uselark.ai, positioned itself as an alternative to Stripe's billing infrastructure for companies with non-standard pricing needs.
The company subsequently pivoted to its current focus: an AI-driven end-to-end testing platform available at getlark.ai. In its current form, Lark allows development teams to describe test workflows in natural language rather than writing and maintaining traditional test scripts. The platform supports testing across multiple surfaces, including user interfaces, APIs, SDKs, and asynchronous workflows. Lark is designed to adapt automatically when a product's UI or API changes, reducing the maintenance burden that typically accompanies conventional testing frameworks such as Playwright.[3]
The platform integrates with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, offering native support for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and other popular CI tools. Tests can be configured to run on every commit, pull request, or deployment across development, staging, and production environments. Lark also provides credential management through secure vaults accessible only to ephemeral testing environments.
Y Combinator categorizes Lark within the developer tools, B2B, DevOps, automation, and AI sectors.[4]
