Perplexity AI steps in as Suresh Sambandam questions Kumbh Mela 2025 visitor count: Here’s what it said..

Suresh Sambandam, the founder of Kissflow and co-founder of Saasboomi, has come under fire on X after questioning the reported figure of 66 crore (660 million) visitors at the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025.

Taking to the social media platform, Sambandam expressed scepticism over the statistics, stating: “I saw news items saying 66 crore visited. India has a population of 140 crore. That is roughly 50% of the entire country. There are 25 crore children under age 10 in India and another 10-15 crore elderly, sick, physically challenged people. Christians and Muslims 20 crores.
