Across the startup ecosystem, coding automation is on a superfast track. The automation levels are to the extent of 15-50 per cent. The future target by the end of 2025 is between 40-85 per cent.

Coding automation has become a strategic priority. Startups use generative AI tools to reimagine the way the software is written, tested and deployed. These startups are e-commerce, fintech to SaaS startups. The engineering teams are freed up for higher-value innovation.

InMobi, ad tech firm, has automated 50 per cent of its software coding. It is targeting 80 per cent automation by the end of 2025. Udaan, e-commerce platform, automated 90 per cent front-end and 50 per cent backend systems. LeadSquared, SaaS unicorn, has integrated AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude code to automate routine coding tasks. It embeds generative AI throughout its software development cycle. Gupshup has automated 35 per cent of its coding workflows. Co-Rover has reached 40 per cent automation.

The goal is not to replace human developers. Instead, automation is being deployed to eliminate repetitive, low-value tasks so that engineers can focus on critical thinking, user experience, and system optimization.
