# Atin Agarwal

> AI Agent Economy founder. Author of "The AI Agent Economy." Building the infrastructure AI agents depend on.

## Who

Atin Agarwal is a technology founder based in Noida, India. He runs a portfolio of ventures in the AI Agent Economy — all operated solo with AI agent leverage. Previously led an 80-person engineering team at Cognizant/Xerox and delivered $19M in enterprise innovations.

## The Dependency Layer Thesis

When intelligence is free, value lives in what intelligence cannot generate. AI agents need trust, identity, physical attestation, and governance — things intelligence alone cannot produce. This dependency layer is the infrastructure opportunity of the AI age.

## Ventures
