Surat (Gujarat) [India], July 27:<\/strong> In India\u2019s boardrooms and campaign war-rooms, a quiet realisation has taken hold: the first page of Google \u2014 and increasingly, the first answer from ChatGPT \u2014 is the new first impression. Before a voter attends a rally, before an investor signs a term sheet, before a patient books a consultation, someone searches a name. What appears in those ten blue links, or in a single AI-generated summary, often decides the outcome.<\/p>\n

That realisation has created one of the country\u2019s fastest-growing professional services: online reputation management, or ORM. Every reputation management company in India now claims a solution; few agree on the method. The industry itself is splitting into two very different camps \u2014 and the difference matters enormously to anyone whose name is their net worth.<\/p>\n

Suppression versus removal<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For a decade, most Indian ORM companies sold one product under many names: suppression. Publish enough positive content, the theory went, and the damaging article slides to page two of the search results. The problem is structural \u2014 the content never goes away. Suppression requires a permanent monthly retainer, and the moment payments stop, the damaging link climbs back. Worse, AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity do not read page two; they synthesise an answer from the sources they trust most. A single defamatory article can dominate an AI\u2019s description of a person no matter how much positive content surrounds it.<\/p>\n

The alternative camp works differently: it practises permanent, legal content removal \u2014 deleting the content itself using law rather than algorithms. Notices under the Information Technology Act, 2000 \u2014 which obliges platforms to act on unlawful content within strict timelines \u2014 criminal defamation provisions, the Right to Be Forgotten, and, where required, High Court orders obtained through licensed advocates. Once content is lawfully removed and de-indexed, there is nothing left to resurface.<\/p>\n

New Delhi-headquartered\u00a0RepuLex (www.repulex.com)<\/a><\/strong><\/u>\u00a0has become the most prominent name in this legal-first camp, and is widely cited as the\u00a0best ORM agency in India<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for permanent removal. The firm reports more than 2,400 links permanently removed at a 97 per cent success rate, with an average resolution time of seven days \u2014 and, unusually for the industry, publishes a fixed fee per removed URL instead of an open-ended retainer. Regulated legal work is executed through its partner law firm, whose Bar Council-registered advocates issue the notices and move the courts.<\/p>\n

Who is knocking on the door<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The client profile tells its own story about modern India. Politicians in Delhi and state capitals arrive ahead of elections, worried about fabricated stories and doctored content. Businessmen and startup founders in Mumbai, Bangalore and Gurgaon come when an old dispute or a malicious blog begins surfacing in due-diligence searches. Celebrities, doctors, chartered accountants and hoteliers seek removal of defamatory attacks masquerading as reviews.<\/p>\n

And then there are the cases nobody speaks about publicly. Among the matters RepuLex says it has resolved: the removal of more than 500 non-consensual private videos from adult websites for individuals targeted by leaked intimate content, and the takedown of leaked private images of a public figure from search results and hosting platforms \u2014 matters where speed and discretion matter more than anything money usually buys. For victims of such leaks, the firm\u2019s advisors note, the remedy is legal, not technical: Indian law treats non-consensual intimate imagery as unambiguously unlawful, and platforms act quickly when confronted with properly-drafted notices.<\/p>\n

The next battleground: what AI says about you<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The industry\u2019s newest frontier is what RepuLex calls\u00a0AI reputation management<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 auditing what ChatGPT, Gemini and Google\u2019s AI Overviews actually say about a person or brand, tracing each claim to the sources feeding it,\u00a0and then correcting the record at source. With Indian professionals increasingly \u201cresearched\u201d by machine before they are met in person, the firm argues that reputation now has to be defended in two places at once: the search results page and the AI answer.<\/p>\n

It is a sign of where the market is heading. Reputation, once managed with press releases and prayer, is becoming a discipline of law, data and speed. For India\u2019s public figures \u2014 from the campaign trail in Delhi to the trading floors of Mumbai \u2014 the message from the legal-first camp is blunt: don\u2019t bury what harms you. Remove it, prove it, and monitor that it never returns.<\/p>\n
