About

Bootstrapped a 40-person agency in India, then built the SaaS it needed. Upranke measures whether AI engines actually recommend your brand — four engines, real measurement, and one rule: a blank is never a zero. Built for agencies, because I run one. Also shipped a voice AI platform and a WhatsApp marketing product. All live, all bootstrapped, all built by the founding team. Believer in India-native AI infrastructure over reselling someone else's dashboard.

Has anyone checked if AI actually recommends their brand?

I run an agency in India. Last year a client asked me something I couldn't answer: "I rank #1 on Google so why doesn't ChatGPT ever mention us?"

I checked. It didn't. Neither did Claude, Gemini or Perplexity. Zero mentions across every question his buyers would actually ask.

That's what pushed me to build Upranke.

Along the way I found something that changed how we built it. Ask an AI engine "what do you know about Acme Corp"and it will say "Acme Corp" back that's your own question echoing, not the model knowing you. And when a model doesn't know a brand at all, it doesn't say so. It invents.
