Head and Heart entered Shark Tank India Season 1 as a child-learning venture built around what founder Gurnandan Singh called brain optimisation. The televised demonstration included blindfolded children identifying objects and colours. Singh asked for ₹50 lakh for 5% equity, but the programme’s pitch record shows that the company left without an investment agreement.
The sharks questioned the clarity, defensibility and investability of the proposition. That no-deal result is important because later descriptions sometimes group every televised company with funded startups. Head and Heart did not secure an on-air equity deal, and this article found no reliable evidence of a later Shark Tank investment.
The business continued after the programme through Innovative Mid-Brain Optimization Institute Private Limited. The company’s terms identify that entity as the operator of thehnh.in and its related application, describing the platform as a provider of training services. Its current website presents programmes aimed at children, adults and senior citizens, delivered through both digital and in-person formats.
The current material places less emphasis on the single blindfold demonstration seen on television and presents a broader portfolio around memory, concentration, cognitive fitness and learning activities. These are the company’s descriptions of its services. The public pages reviewed do not provide clinical evidence establishing medical or therapeutic outcomes, so the programmes should not be characterised as treatment or as scientifically proven to improve health conditions.
A 2025 secondary update reported that Head and Heart had seven learning centres, but the company’s current website does not provide a clearly auditable centre list supporting that exact count. Public financial statements or reliable revenue figures were also not available during this review. The appropriate current-status conclusion is therefore limited to verified platform activity rather than unsupported claims about scale or financial growth.
Head and Heart’s journey is one of continued operation following rejection rather than a documented funding success. The venture moved from a narrowly framed televised demonstration to a website and platform offering multiple training formats for different age groups. As of August 24, 2026, its site remains active and contains programme and contact information, but current revenue, enrolment, profitability and centre count cannot be independently established from the reviewed public sources.
