About Kusho
Founded in 2023 by Abhishek Saikia and Sourabh Gawande, both alumni of BITS Pilani, Kusho uses proprietary models coupled with foundational LLMs to simulate an AI software developer. This AI can discover bugs in code with significantly greater accuracy and in a fraction of the time compared to a human.

“We empower software developers to focus on building and shipping great software without worrying about unnoticed bugs, ultimately saving time, enhancing overall codebase quality, and making releases stable and error-free. By automating manual and time-consuming tasks, developers can significantly reduce time-to-market and project costs, making Kusho an invaluable asset for tech teams,” said Saikia, co-founder and CEO of Kusho.
