Programmable API gateway that caches APIs

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building SuperAPI, a programmable API gateway that makes existing fetch APIs cacheable. It lets developers reduce API response times by up to 10x without rewriting their backend code, saving them 6-9 months of engineering work that caching typically requires.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live in Chennai, TN and Bengaluru, KA, India. After YC, the company will be based wherever YC advises us to be, likely in Silicon Valley.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in India because of our network and low-cost access to engineering talent. Our split location also lets us collaborate on development and operations efficiently.
