While the ultimate goal is to have AI platforms with zero hallucinations, striking a balance between accuracy and practicality remains a challenge for the sector. Kaplan's company, Anthropic, focuses on AI safety and research with an emphasis on ethical values and safety concerns.

Lenskart's CEO and co-founder, Peyush Bansal, expressed doubts about the long-term success of the omnichannel model for the company. He believes that businesses should not be built solely on a model, but rather should address market pain points. Lenskart initially saw low conversion rates when restricted to online sales, prompting the expansion to offline stores. Bansal acknowledged that the success of the omnichannel approach may be temporary, as customer preferences and channels continue to evolve. Other speakers at the Startup Mahakumbh event, such as BlueStone's co-founder Gaurav Singh Kushwaha, highlighted the benefits of the omnichannel model for their businesses.
