DareAISearch strengthens AI search leadership with Deepak Kumar Gupta and Nishant Kumar

DareAISearch has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Deepak Kumar Gupta as Vice President – AI Search and Nishant Kumar as Head of Engineering. The appointments come as the company looks to build deeper capabilities around AI-driven brand discovery and decision-making.

The move brings together two different skill sets. Deepak brings 14 years of experience across organic search, AEO and GEO, while Nishant brings nine years of engineering experience spanning Generative AI, LLMs, RAG and scalable backend systems.

Deepak Kumar Gupta to lead AI search

Deepak joined DareAISearch in July 2026 after serving as SEO Head at Lyxel&Flamingo. In his new role, he will work on combining traditional search with AI-led discovery.

His responsibilities include improving search outcomes and HDIE recommendation logic, while turning search expertise into repeatable playbooks and product workflows. The aim is to help DareAISearch move beyond conventional SEO and GEO services towards a broader AI Search approach.

For the company, this also signals a shift in how search expertise is being turned into technology and repeatable systems rather than remaining limited to services.

Nishant Kumar brings engineering depth

Nishant joined DareAISearch in August 2026 after working as Senior AI Engineer at NewsBytes. His experience covers system architecture, Generative AI, LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, AI product development and scalable backend systems.

He will lead engineering across product architecture, AI and agent-driven capabilities, platform reliability and automation.

The engineering role becomes important as DareAISearch works to turn its search intelligence into products and automated workflows. In simple terms, Deepak's focus is on the intelligence behind discovery, while Nishant will help build the technology needed to deliver it at scale.

Two appointments, one larger AI search push

DareAISearch said the appointments strengthen two key areas of its growth strategy: search intelligence and AI engineering.

CEO and Co-Founder Siddhartha Vanvani said Nishant's experience would support the company's technology platform, while Deepak's search expertise would help build the next generation of AI Search capabilities.
