Imagine a world where humans can enhance their memory, decision-making, and productivity with a simple wearable device. Neosapien, the AI-powered pendant, is set to feature on Shark Tank India Season 4, showcasing its potential to transform how we interact with technology. Founded by cousins Dhananjay Yadav and Aryan Yadav, the brand’s mission is to empower individuals to take control of their lives like never before, turning homosapiens into Neosapiens.
The idea for Neosapien was born out of a deeply personal tragedy. Dhananjay’s cousin brother, an army officer, unexpectedly passed away while Dhananjay was in Berlin. Just days before, his cousin had called to say, “I’m coming soon to meet you.” The sudden loss left Dhananjay with a profound sense of regret over not expressing his feelings more openly. This experience inspired the creation of a product that not only helps people manage their tasks but also bridges gaps in communication, fostering deeper connections. Along with his cousin Aryan, an AI engineer, Dhananjay developed Neosapien—a wearable designed to simplify lives, enhance productivity, and ensure data security.
During their Shark Tank India pitch, the cousins presented their vision for the future of personal assistance, seeking ₹80 lakhs for 2.5% equity. While the Sharks, including Namita Thapar, questioned whether Neosapien could stand out in a market dominated by smartphones, Dhananjay and Aryan held firm in their belief that their product offers something truly unique. The big question is: will this revolutionary technology secure the investment needed to scale? Interestingly, Anupam Mittal was already an investor in Neosapien, having recognized its potential early on
Reflecting on the experience, Dhananjay shared, “Pitching Neosapien on Shark Tank India was a surreal moment for us. It wasn’t just about presenting a product; it was about sharing a vision to empower people to live more efficiently and authentically. When we walked into the tank, we weren’t just showcasing a device; we were telling the story of why this innovation matters so much. The journey of creating Neosapien is deeply personal for both Aryan and me, and it felt incredible to see the sharks resonate with our vision. The support we received from Anupam Mittal was a true validation of what we’ve worked so hard to build.”
