AI-powered healthcare startup Neurapex AI made a notable appearance on Shark Tank India, led by its 13-year-old founder Jaiwardhan Tyagi, making him one of the youngest entrepreneurs to pitch on the show.
Founded in 2024, Neurapex AI is an assistive medical platform designed to reduce misdiagnosis by analysing MRI scans, lab reports, skin images, and patient medical history to generate actionable health reports, which are currently available to users for free.
The idea began as an MRI-based Alzheimer’s classifier, and has since evolved into a broader AI-driven diagnostic support system. Jaiwardhan, a student at Delhi Public School, Ghaziabad, shared that his interest in building products started early, from attempting an all-in-one social media app at age 10 to experimenting with rocket science projects inspired by figures like Napoleon and Steve Jobs.
Neurapes’ product pipeline includes Alzmind for neurology and Deepderm for dermatology. Alzmind begins by asking users 15 structured questions about their medical history to establish research context before assisting with diagnosis insights.
The startup plans to monetise by partnering with healthcare providers, who will pay for qualified patient leads generated through the diagnostic platform, rather than charging patients directly.
During the pitch, Jaiwardhan asked for ₹60 lakh for 5% equity, valuing Neurapes AI at ₹12 crore. After discussions, the deal was closed by Aman Gupta at the same terms, marking a rare moment where conviction, clarity, and vision outweighed age in the Tank.
With its early traction, ambitious roadmap, and a founder shaped by reading Zero to One by Peter Thiel, Neurapes AI is positioning itself as a young but serious attempt at using AI to make healthcare diagnosis more accurate and accessible.
