Kartik Sarangmath is an American entrepreneur and software engineer. He is the co-founder of Omnara, a developer tools startup that provides a mobile, web, and voice interface for AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex. Omnara was part of Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch and is based in San Francisco.[1]
Early life and education
Sarangmath is from South Barrington, Illinois.[2] He earned a Master of Science in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2022.[3]
During his time at Georgia Tech, Sarangmath contributed to research in computer vision and machine learning. He co-authored "PASTA: Proportional Amplitude Spectrum Training Augmentation for Syn-to-Real Domain Generalization," a paper on data augmentation strategies for improving domain generalization in computer vision models.[4] He also contributed to research on benchmarking low-shot robustness to natural distribution shifts, which was presented at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2023.[5]
Career
Sarangmath co-founded Omnara alongside Ishaan Sehgal in 2025. The company addresses a workflow problem created by the rise of autonomous AI coding agents: while such agents can generate, refactor, and debug code over extended periods, they frequently require human input for clarification, approval, or feedback. When a developer is away from their workstation, this dependency creates a bottleneck that halts progress.[6]
Omnara's product allows developers to start a coding session on a desktop and continue managing it from a mobile device or web browser. The tool connects to AI coding agents running on the developer's local machine and preserves full context across devices. It also supports voice-based interaction, enabling developers to communicate with coding agents hands-free. The product is available on iOS, Android, and the web.
As of 2025, Omnara operates with a three-person team in San Francisco. The company was accepted into Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch and is categorized in the developer tools and AI assistant sectors.
