Being the first one to opt out of the deal, Namita expressed her concerns about the product and said, “You both are very smart kids at 24, my strong advice to you is to discontinue this and use your engineering skills in something else. There is nothing smart about this product, you have not thought it through. As a product, this doesn’t offer anything special or new.” While Vineeta questioned the sensors in the product, she also backed out from the pitch, stating that she felt the founders were still not ready for fund-raising. She also said, “Market ko lekar bilkul khoye hue hai aap. (You both seem very lost in terms of the market).”

Anupam Mittal also called the product “over-engineered” turning down the offer. Azhar Iqubal also called the product a misfit, while Aman Gupta asked them if they planned to make anything else. While the pitchers said that they would focus on this product, Aman backed out saying, “This is not a problem I feel is to be solved. But if you make anything next, do keep me in mind.”

With this, the pitchers walked out empty-handed from Shark Tank India.
