In the latest episode of Shark Tank India 4, young entrepreneurs Sreekanth Kommula, Anand Kumar, and Kausthub Kaundinya captured the Sharks' attention with their innovative Smart Wearables for various industries. Their pitch, seeking Rs. 50 lakh for 1% equity, sparked intense negotiations among the Sharks.
Ritesh Agarwal, Namita Thapar, and Aman Gupta quickly recognized the potential of the company, especially after Aman highlighted a viral video of a traffic policeman wearing an AC helmet, which was lauded for offering relief from the scorching sun.
