Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently announced the birth of his baby boy with partner Oliver Mulherin in February this year. In a social media post on X, Altman praised a smart crib from Cradlewise, an Indian-origin startup, saying it was one of the most useful baby items they purchased. He advised new parents to invest in the crib and stock up on burp rags, humorously noting they’d need more than expected.
we bought a lot of silly baby things that we haven't needed
but definitely i recommend a cradlewise crib and a lot more burp rags than you think you could possibly need

Cradlewise was founded in 2016 by Radhika Patil and her husband Bharath Patil. The company operates in both India and the US and specializes in smart cribs that use adaptive technology to detect early signs of a baby waking and respond with gentle rocking. The original prototype was developed in Bengaluru, but Radhika chose to launch the product in the US market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Patil family moved to the US with their children to expand their businesses.
