Astra Autonomous Pentest

Rohan Chaubey, Zolani Matebese, Shikhil Sharma, Viranchi Dadhich, Shelton Jacob, Aniket Goyal, Mohit Kalshan, and Abhishek Krishnan built Astra because they got tired of waiting weeks for penetration tests that cost a fortune and come back with a PDF nobody reads. So they built AI agents that find, validate, and fix every vulnerability—continuously. No consultants, no delays, no human bottleneck.

Astra does autonomous pentesting 80× faster than traditional firms. Their PTaaS platform runs continuous VAPT that scales with your dev velocity—it tests for 15,000+ vulnerabilities, scans APIs for OWASP Top 10 risks, monitors your cloud infrastructure, and does it all automatically as your code changes. That's the whole point: security that doesn't slow you down. Traditional pen tests are a snapshot in time. Astra is security that moves with your codebase.

Eight co-founders is... a lot. But when you're building a platform that touches web, API, AI, cloud, and mobile security all at once, maybe you need eight brains. They've got Shikhil Sharma linked in—if any of the others have backgrounds worth sharing, those details aren't public yet. What IS public is the product: it's real, it's automated, and it's currently live on Product Hunt.
