AI-powered Corporate Training: Faster, Smarter, More Effective
We built Ostronaut, a SaaS-based AI-driven corporate training platform. It transforms workforce learning by delivering faster and more effective training tailored for product professionals and corporate teams. Its roots come from six years of training more than 10,000 product managers and professionals, so it's designed for real-world skills, not theory.
We live in Gurugram, Haryana, India, with a mostly remote team. After YC, the company remains based here, continuing to operate globally with a remote-first approach.
We are based in Gurugram because this is where the founders and core team live. The remote model lets us tap talent and customers globally without relocating. We see no reason to shift HQ after YC as our market is international.
