Shark Tank India Investors Question AI Parenting App Claiming to Interpret Infant Cries

On Shark Tank India 5, founders Karan Birpali and Akash Dangee pitched Pukaar.ai, an AI-powered parenting app claiming to interpret infant cries to identify issues like hunger or colic. They sought Rs 48 lakh for 1.5% equity, valuing the company at Rs 32 crore. Investors Namita Thapar and Aman Gupta expressed skepticism about the app's accuracy and data sufficiency, citing variability in infant cries and questioning the AI's real-world applicability. The founders acknowledged ongoing research and data limitations.
