Founder

Hi, I'm Pratyush. I build the AI that ships

I was one of the first engineers at four startups, including two in Y Combinator. Now I build the same kind of systems for businesses that don't have an engineering team, and I stay with them after launch.

Now

Overtake

Building AI agents and automations for businesses, with the same care as at a funded startup.

WHY OVERTAKE EXISTS

At funded startups, I watched AI agents do real work for real customers. Most businesses never get that level of engineering, because it sits behind big budgets and long consulting contracts.

Overtake brings it to everyone else. I scope the job with you, build it on the tools you already use, and keep it running after launch.

How I work

You talk to the builder

No account managers or hand-offs. The person on the call writes the code.

Small scope, shipped fast

One job done well first, live in days, then we grow it with real results.

A person stays in control

Anything that sends, books or spends can wait for your approval.

You own everything

Code, accounts and data stay yours, from day one.

Let's talk about your business.

30 minutes, no pitch deck. You leave with a written plan either way.
