Your brand's reputation in AI shouldn't cost a fortune to protect.
I spent a decade protecting brand reputations. Then the rules changed overnight.
My name is Chitransh Agnihotri. For over 10 years, I led digital transformation and strategy at some of India's largest enterprises - Orient Cement, Prism Johnson, and others. I managed IT budgets worth crores, built CRMs from scratch, modernized legacy systems, and drove brand visibility across every channel that mattered.
Earlier this year, something clicked. 900 million people were asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for product recommendations every week - and the brands I'd spent years building had no idea what these AI engines were saying about them. The tools that existed? $400+/month, enterprise-only, behind a sales call.
That's when I knew I had to build something different. In April 2026, I started building CitedSpy - because every business, from a solo freelancer to a Fortune 500, deserves to know when AI recommends them. And they shouldn't have to mortgage their marketing budget to find out.
I look at my daughter every morning, and she reminds me why this matters. I want to build something truly valuable - a tool that helps every business, every enterprise, keep their brand name intact in this new AI-first world. That's what drives me. That's what drives this team.
