Subham Kundu is the Founder of Akon Labs (YC S26), building the most token-efficient coding agent in the world through GitNexus, an open-source knowledge graph engine for AI-powered software development.

Subham is a PhD scholar in reinforcement learning at TCG CREST and has spent nearly half a decade working on knowledge graphs, scaling products to millions of users and winning multiple hackathons.

A technically deep, pragmatic researcher who lives where cutting-edge research meets enterprise reality, Subham is on a mission to solve the context bottleneck that holds back AI coding agents.

Prior to Akon Labs, Subham served as CTO at Cignara (YC P26), Principal AI Engineer at HTCD where he reduced AI search costs by 78%, and Founding Engineer at Caravel Labs where he built an LLM chatbot scaled to 5,000 students.

GitNexus has crossed 45,000 GitHub stars and 65,000 weekly npm downloads, and on the DeepSWE benchmark, the same agent with GitNexus solved nearly twice as many bugs at half the cost per fix.
