In a world where most teenagers are still figuring out school stress and weekend plans, one 13-year-old has managed to shake up the Shark Tank India stage with an AI MedTech startup. And he didn’t just impress the Sharks—he won support from boAt co-founder Aman Gupta, who later took to X to share why the young founder stood out so strongly. His post quickly grabbed attention for one reason: it highlighted how fast India’s youngest builders are moving today.
Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt, recently shared a candid reflection on X about how different today’s generation feels compared to his own childhood. He admitted that when he was 13, life was simple and limited to school, homework, and playing gully cricket with friends. But according to him, kids today are built differently. They are not only confident and sharp, but also create real things long before most adults even discover what they’re truly good at.
Gupta wrote that one of his favourite pitchers this season was a 13-year-old who walked into the Tank with an AI startup and a clarity that genuinely impressed him. He described the young entrepreneur as someone with no fake gyaan and no unnecessary overconfidence, but instead sharp thinking, solid vision, and a genuine hunger to learn. Gupta added that he chose to support him because talent, intent, and humility at that age deserve more than applause—they deserve backing. He concluded by saying that if this is what 13 looks like today, the future isn’t arriving later, it is already here. In his words, India is building, and its youngest founders are leading from the front.
Who is the 13-year-old ?
The young founder Aman Gupta was referring to is Jaivardhan Tyagi, who appeared on the show this season with his AI MedTech startup NeurapexAI. At just 13 years old, Jaivardhan has already positioned himself as one of the youngest founders to pitch on Shark Tank India. His decision to quit JEE coaching and focus full-time on building NeurapexAI added to the shock factor for many viewers, but what stood out even more was the level of maturity and clarity with which he presented his vision.
From the moment Jaivardhan began his pitch, the Sharks—Kunal Bahl, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Ritesh Agarwal, and Aman Gupta—were reportedly taken aback by his depth of understanding. NeurapexAI is an AI-enabled assistive MedTech platform built to analyse complex medical data and make it easier for doctors and patients to understand. The platform is designed to process MRI scans, lab reports, medical images, and a patient’s medical history, then generate clear, structured, and actionable reports.
Jaivardhan explained that the aim of NeurapexAI is not to replace doctors, but to support clinical decision-making by reducing interpretation time and improving clarity. This is particularly important in resource-constrained settings where time, expertise, and access can become major barriers. At the moment, the platform is available free of cost because the founder is focused on improving accuracy, reliability, and adoption before taking it into full-scale commercial rollout.
To scale the product and speed up development, Jaivardhan asked for an investment of Rs 60 lakh in exchange for 5 percent equity, valuing NeurapexAI at Rs 12 crore. With a pitch that blended confidence, purpose, and practicality, the teenager managed to leave a strong impression—not just through his age, but through the ambition and clarity behind what he is building.
