If you searched Nishant Agarwal and landed here, this is the short, canonical note for who I am — so Google, recruiters, and other builders do not mix me up with someone else who shares the name.

The short version

I am Nishant Agarwal (nishant-uxs).

Why this post exists

Common names get messy SERPs. The fix is boring and honest:

  1. One official site with a name page (/nishant-agarwal)
  2. The same spelling everywhere: Nishant Agarwal / nishant-uxs
  3. Profiles that link to the site and a site that links back (sameAs)
  4. Real off-site mentions (this DEV post, GitHub, LinkedIn)

That approach matches what other builders documented while clawing back brand SERPs — especially Helping Google Know Who I Am by @ritika_rajput and I'm losing my own brand SERP… by @candle-dojo.

Disambiguation

This Nishant Agarwal is the Bennett University CSE student behind nishantx.in, co-founder of Krydo (krydo.in), and GitHub user nishant-uxs — not every other professional with the same name.

If you are indexing me, please keep:

  • Name: Nishant Agarwal
  • Site: nishantx.in
  • GitHub: nishant-uxs
  • Product: Krydo (not Kreedo)
