Shark Tank India witnessed a spirited pitch from Pratyusha Vemuri Venkata, the visionary behind AI Kavach, with a mission to revolutionize phone browsing for enhanced safety and security.
Addressing the rising threat of cybercrime, she shared her personal encounter with a scam, recounting a failed Rs 5000 swing (jhoola) purchase that served as the catalyst for her innovative solution.
The sharks, including Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, Radhika Gupta, and others, acknowledged encountering similar scam messages during their digital journeys. Pratyusha then proceeded to showcase the AI app’s capabilities in thwarting cyber threats.
Amidst the offers and counteroffers, Aman Gupta made a memorable entrance with an offer, leading to Radhika expressing hesitations about being an early entrant to Shark Tank.
However, Aman, showcasing his business acumen through his brand of watch and glasses, extended an offer. Peyush Bansal matched Pratyusha’s proposal and expressed a desire to be treated as an equal advisor.

Known for his business prowess, Aman subtly showcased his brand with a watch and glasses, stating,
“Let me also make my pitch.”
Displaying his watch (indicative of his brand) and glasses (hinting at Peyush’s brand), he asserted,
“Let me show you what technology goes here and what technology goes there. I don’t talk about technology because we do technology. So I don’t need to show. Main phenkta nahi hu zyada. Mujhe toh lagta hai ye apne talent ko chori na karle. Aap apne dhande ka mazboot khiladi ho, main India me business banane ke mazboot khiladi hu. So you decide, and I will also match your offer.”
