Little-Known Facts About Botpresso
Every company has a beginning.
Some start with investors, large teams, and detailed business plans. Botpresso started with a simple belief: SEO could be done better.
In 2021, Nitin Manchanda set out to build something different. Having spent years in the SEO industry, he had seen firsthand how businesses often received generic recommendations, templated audits, and strategies that looked good on paper but rarely delivered meaningful results. Rather than accepting the status quo, he decided to create a company focused on technical excellence, measurable impact, and solving problems others were unwilling to tackle.
What began as a one-person freelance venture would eventually grow into one of India’s most recognized SEO and organic growth companies.
The Story Behind the Name
The name Botpresso came from a simple belief: all that an SEO needed to grow a brand was a powerful website crawler and a strong cup of espresso.
“Bot” represented the crawling and auditing tools that helped uncover technical SEO opportunities, while “Espresso” represented the coffee that fueled countless hours of problem-solving and execution.
The combination perfectly captured Botpresso’s approach from day one: technical expertise, relentless curiosity, and the energy to keep pushing forward.
And just like that, Botpresso was born.
The Early Days
When Botpresso started, there were no departments, managers, or large teams.
There was simply a commitment to doing exceptional work.
Soon, others began to believe in that vision. Kunjal Chawan was the first to join, bringing new ideas, fresh perspectives, and a shared ambition to build something meaningful. What started as a small operation gradually evolved into a distributed team spanning multiple cities across India, from Delhi to Tamil Nadu.
The growth wasn’t driven by aggressive sales tactics or flashy marketing campaigns.
It was driven by results.
The First Client
The first client to place their trust in Botpresso was Unacademy, one of India’s most recognized educational platforms.
For a young company, it was a defining moment.
The engagement provided an opportunity to prove that Botpresso’s approach could work not only for startups but also for large, fast-growing organizations operating at scale. It set the foundation for everything that followed.
Growing Through Results
Over the years, Botpresso continued to attract businesses facing complex organic growth challenges.
Companies came with technical SEO issues, scalability problems, content bottlenecks, and search visibility challenges that often required far more than standard SEO recommendations.
Instead of relying on generic playbooks, the team focused on understanding each problem from the ground up, building solutions tailored to the business, and measuring success through tangible outcomes.
That philosophy helped Botpresso grow from a one-person venture into a team of more than 70 specialists serving over 200 clients across industries including SaaS, eCommerce, education, healthcare, finance, and technology.
Recognition Beyond Client Success
For years, the focus remained firmly on client results. Recognition came later.
In November 2023, Botpresso received its first major industry recognition, winning Best Use of Search Marketing at the Economic Times Brand Equity Awards.
For a company that had spent its early years focused almost exclusively on client results, the award marked an important milestone. It was the first time the team’s work was recognized on a larger industry stage.
Since then, Botpresso has earned multiple national and international accolades across SEO, organic growth, and search marketing.
The most notable among them include the European Search Awards 2025 and the Global Search Awards 2025, two of the most respected honors in the global search industry. In total, Botpresso has won 8 awards.
Today, a growing collection of awards stands as recognition of the work, but the real achievement remains the impact created for clients.
A New Chapter
In February 2026, Botpresso entered another important phase of growth.
Recognizing the quality of work and strategic capabilities built by GrowthSRC, the company completed an acqui-hire that strengthened its leadership, expanded its expertise, and accelerated its growth ambitions.
The same year also marked the opening of Botpresso’s first office in Baner, Pune, creating a dedicated hub for collaboration, innovation, and future expansion.
The move also enabled the company to broaden its offerings beyond SEO into adjacent growth disciplines, including content, digital strategy, and web development.
What Comes Next
Search is changing faster than ever.
The rise of AI-powered search experiences, answer engines, large language models, and new discovery platforms is reshaping how people find information online.
Botpresso sees this shift not as a challenge, but as an opportunity.
The company has spent years mastering traditional search ecosystems. The next chapter is about helping businesses succeed in emerging AI search environments, from SEO and organic growth to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI visibility, and the future of digital discovery.
The goal remains the same as it was in 2021:
Build exceptional solutions, solve difficult problems, and stay ahead of where search is going next.
