Anay Shukla is Co-Founder at Sentrial (YC W26), a production monitoring platform for AI agents that detects loops, hallucinations, tool misuse, and user frustrations in real-time.

Anay studied Computer Science at UC Berkeley and worked as a Software Engineer at Accenture, where he deployed agents and saw firsthand how quickly agent behavior can drift and break once live.

Anay co-founded Sentrial with Neel Sharma after experiencing the challenges of monitoring AI agents in production environments. He brings expertise in deploying and monitoring agentic AI systems from his work at Accenture.

Sentrial is part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch and provides engineering teams with real-time visibility into agent behavior, automatically detecting failure patterns the moment they happen.

Sentrial helps engineering teams diagnose root causes of agent failures and recommends specific fixes, enabling teams to iterate based on production reality rather than just offline evaluations.
