Gautam Paranjape

Gautam Paranjape is the co-founder of Mantle, an early-stage technology and enterprise software startup specializing in artificial intelligence-driven automation tools for modern businesses. Established in 2025 alongside co-founder Samrath Chadha, the company builds specialized AI agents designed to autonomously execute repetitive back-office administrative tasks. The core platform utilizes prompt-based commands to automate routine workflows, including generating internal reports, drafting outbound emails, and compiling pre-meeting research. To facilitate this automation, the software integrates directly with existing enterprise infrastructure, connecting to customer relationship management platforms, email clients, and calendar applications. Mantle currently operates with a lean team of two employees and recently secured acceptance into the highly selective Y Combinator Fall 2025 accelerator batch. Paranjape maintains a primary focus on developing these intelligent agent solutions to streamline operational workflows and reduce manual data entry for growing technology startups.
