Following the collision, Deepinder Goyal called the AI drone “dangerous” whereas Aman Gupta tagged it as “risky”.

In the recent episode of Shark Tank India 3, the founders of Vecros – a company selling AI drones, were seen presenting their invention to the judges. They asked for Rs 1 crore for 2.5 per cent equity of their company. The founders started their pitch by flying their drone around the sets when they even asked one of the sharks to participate in the demo.

Anupam Mittal volunteered and decided to change the setting of the drone. However, to everyone’s surprise, the drone almost collided with him before hitting the wall. This left all other sharks shocked. Reacting to the accident on set, Shark Deepinder Goyal said, “It is so dangerous.” Aman Gupta also added, “That was risky.”

However, the founders of the company tried to explain the collision saying, “We had trained a drone for a particuar orientation due to which it tries to find a free path. However, when we changed its heading, it got confused.” Watch the episode here:
