Today we’d like to introduce you to Uday Kumar
Hi Uday, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My Journey from Frustration to Innovation
Eight years ago, I had what seemed like the perfect e-commerce business. Every single one of my hundred-plus products could be found on Google Search, bringing in a steady stream of organic sales. Life was good, or so I thought. Then everything changed.
As I expanded my catalog to 100,000 products, I watched in dismay as our visibility on Google Search plummeted. What started as a minor concern soon became a full-blown crisis – only 2% of my products were being found organically. I found myself trapped in an expensive cycle, pouring money into paid advertising just to maintain sales. Over a million dollars later, I was seeing growth, but my profits were paper-thin.
“There has to be a better way,” I remember thinking to myself late one night, staring at yet another disappointing profit report. That’s when my background at Oracle and my graduate studies in Expert Systems, a specialized field of artificial intelligence, began to spark an idea.
I knew I couldn’t be the only one facing this challenge. Determined to understand what had changed, I reached out to everyone I could think of – Google insiders, other e-commerce brands, anyone who might help me piece together this puzzle. Each conversation added another piece to the solution I was building in my mind.
For the next two years, I threw myself into creating what would become flareAI. Drawing from my expertise in SEO and inbound marketing, I combined it with my knowledge of AI to forge something entirely new. It wasn’t easy – there were countless late nights, failed attempts, and moments of doubt. But I kept pushing forward, driven by the belief that I was onto something that could help not just my business, but countless others facing the same struggle.
When we finally implemented flareAI, the results exceeded my wildest expectations. Our organic visibility skyrocketed, and our profits followed suit. The transformation was so dramatic that we found ourselves on the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing companies – not just once, but three consecutive times.
Today, when I look at flareAI driving thousands of daily conversions for businesses across various sectors – from SaaS companies to e-commerce platforms and service providers – I feel a deep sense of satisfaction. Through Google Search, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other platforms, we’re helping businesses break free from the cycle of expensive advertising that I once found myself trapped in.
Today, when a business activates flareAI with just a few clicks, 5 expert AI Agents spring into action. It’s like adding 5 experts to support your marketing team. In a few weeks your business will start generating booked meetings, appointments and ecommerce sales from Google Search.
What started as my personal frustration has evolved into a solution that’s transforming how businesses approach organic search and digital presence. If there’s one thing my journey has taught me, it’s that sometimes our biggest challenges lead us to our greatest innovations. As I watch more businesses reclaim their organic visibility through flareAI, I’m reminded that the best solutions often come from solving our own problems first.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No it has not been a smooth road.
As a technologist, I was new to marketing and sales. But I reguarly networked with business development experts and began to learn and adapt a strategy that works for me.
I also took help from the Founder Institute, a accelerator group to help me round out my founder skills.
We’ve been impressed with flareAI, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Imagine driving online sales and booking B2B meetings without the constant cost of ‘experts’ or ever-increasing ad fees. What would that freedom be worth to you?
