1
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,720
I have so many expectations
from my life.

2
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,880
And the life at Goa
is very slow.

3
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,120
I didn't wanted a slow
and dull life.

4
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,240
I used to play
a lot of cricket.

5
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,320
But I couldn't scale that.

6
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,480
Then I studied law.

7
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Then I started practicing law.

8
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,760
But I was not enjoying
even that.

9
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,920
First I joined
my family hotel business.

10
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,840
I quit that in six months.

11
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Then I started
my own ventures.

12
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080
But I was not enjoying
my life

13
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,720
I always wanted

14
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,360
to create a product

15
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,480
which will be made
in Goa or made in India.

16
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,280
And that has to reach
the entire world.

17
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,400
But I had no idea

18
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,680
as to what product
that is going to be.

19
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:11,680
And I always tried
to find the same.

20
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,080
So, once I was in a farm

21
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,320
walking around
the trees.

22
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,280
Then I saw that.

23
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,000
I understood

24
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,640
that is it.

25
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,440
I got my match
made in heaven. Jackfruit.

26
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,160
I started studying
about it deeply.

27
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Then I realised that
it is not a jackfruit

28
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,280
but a jackpot

29
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,280
with which we can produce
several products.

30
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,000
Money is very important.

31
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,640
But more important
than that is Sharks.

32
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,920
And I hope all the sharks

33
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,320
like my business idea

34
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,960
and they wish to invest
in our business.

35
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,120
Greetings, Sharks.
I'm Sairaj Dhond.

36
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,320
And I'm from Goa.

37
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
And I'm the founder and CEO
of Wakao Food.

38
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,560
You know how an apple

39
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,680
changed Newton's life

40
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,520
and the world got
the theory of gravitation.

41
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,600
But you don't know

42
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,840
how jackfruits

43
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,720
changed my life.

44
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,080
And I gifted the world
a unique sensation

45
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,480
of taste buds.

46
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,200
I thought

47
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,600
many practice law.

48
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,600
So, I should
make the world taste

49
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,560
the unique taste
of the jackfruits?

50
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,480
79 percent of the world

51
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,720
has turned vegan.

52
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,560
So, why there is no reason

53
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,160
to satisfy
their yearning taste buds?

54
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,680
Houses, restaurants

55
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,160
parties and dates.

56
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Why they haven't updated
their menu yet?

57
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Why they don't get an incentive
for living a healthy life?

58
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Why no one until now gave them

59
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520
ready to cook
hundred percent natural

60
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,680
mock meat
with zero percent preservatives?

61
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,400
Vegetarians
will get vegetarian taste.

62
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Non vegetarians will get
non vegetarian feel.

63
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,720
And vegans will get
uncountable reasons

64
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,280
to try uncountable recipes.

65
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,720
Also, along with
12 months shelf life

66
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,160
it needs
no refrigeration either.

67
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,720
Oh! - Many ambitions

68
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,160
but only one goal

69
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,080
and that is to take
the jackfruit from my backyard

70
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:37,320
to the world.

71
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,720
So sharks, invest Rs. 75 lakh

72
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,040
in my company

73
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,680
and get 5 percent
equity in return.

74
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,280
And deliver to every house
in the world..

75
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,520
Say it with me.
Wakao.

76
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,720
Wakao.

77
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Sir, tell me which movie
this is.

78
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,440
'Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi.'

79
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,560
Very good.
Full marks..

80
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,480
But you look like
Rohit Shetty.

81
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,280
Did anyone ever tell you
that?

82
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,160
Yesterday someone told me
when I was on the set.

83
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,720
It was an amazing
presentation.

84
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,600
Wonderful.

85
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,640
- Thank you so much.
- You said you were a lawyer.

86
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,600
- I was a criminal lawyer.
- Criminal lawyer. - Wow.

87
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,160
I did that for an year
all day long.

88
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,480
Then that got boring.

89
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,680
I decided that I can't do that
all my life.

90
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,200
So, you had to do presentation
in front of the judge panel.

91
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,720
Yes.

92
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,480
Now he has decided
to put us in trouble.

93
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Not at all.

94
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,720
I have decided to take
the Shark Tank along.

95
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,640
- Wonderful.
- Thank you.

96
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,920
I can see very interesting
food here.

97
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,720
- Absolutely. - Can we taste it?
- Would you like to?

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Definitely.

99
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,200
Give me a minute. I'll bring
it. - We'll eat it. No doubt.

100
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,400
Wow!

101
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,200
- Can I give the ladies first?
- Sure.

102
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,360
- Dude.. - Wow!
- Well done.

103
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,360
Don't do this here.
You'll be in trouble.

104
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,440
They all are feminists.

105
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,560
They keep saying
equality.

106
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960
- We don't deny food.
- Thank you so much.

107
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,200
The entrepreneur is impressive.

108
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,120
Very.

109
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Don't say that in front of him.
His value will rise.

110
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,320
First let him struggle
a little.

111
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,120
So this is a Wakao burger.

112
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,360
It is like a slider.

113
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,560
This is a sweet dish.

114
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,640
This is 'Blastkhai'.
This is a 'Tat'.

115
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,760
This is a 'Galoti'

116
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,720
- on a Khari.
- Okay.

117
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,000
This is 'Kabab'.

118
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,000
'Seek Kabab.'

119
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,440
And this is
'Jackfruit Biriyani'.

120
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Non vegetarians,
tell me if this tastes

121
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,440
like non vegetarian
or not.

122
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,720
It is very tasty.

123
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,480
I don't think it tastes
like meat.

124
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,920
I don't agree with Gazal
at this.

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,880
The combination with the sauce..

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,120
The slider has a typical taste
with the sauces.

127
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:58,640
And it is because of that.

128
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,520
The patty alone does not
have anything to do with meat.

129
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,320
I have eaten mock meat based
on jackfruit.

130
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,560
This is way better compared
to that.

131
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,560
I never thought jackfruit
could be so tasty.

132
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,160
From what I know of meat
substitute products

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,480
try to provide a similar
nutritional value.

134
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,800
People want a vegan lifestyle

135
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,440
but with no compromise
on protein intake.

136
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,880
Can you tell of the protein
intake of this

137
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,240
and the food composition?

138
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,240
0.8 to one gram per 100 grams.

139
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,440
- So negligible.
- Negligible.

140
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,960
It is not hard to do.

141
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,200
I am in a pharma company
I sell a lot of protein.

142
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,800
Protein powder and shake,
it isn't difficult to add.

143
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,120
A huge global brand
named beyond meat.

144
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,800
Yes. - What is the difference
in this and that?

145
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,400
The product is different.

146
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,760
We are jackfruit.

147
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,800
Correct.

148
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,600
The bigger jackfruit is sweet.

149
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,440
It is of about five months.

150
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,600
We harvest the jackfruit
at two months.

151
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,320
Okay. - It is s tender
jackfruit.

152
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,840
- It has no taste or smell.
- Interesting.

153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,840
It is very taste neutral.

154
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,760
A parallel to non-veg
food would be Basa fish.

155
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,440
One with no taste but takes
the flavour of spice you put.

156
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,840
Ss I said in pitch. Vegetarians
will get a vegetarian taste.

157
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Non-vegetarians will get
the feel of non-veg food.

158
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,720
The texture is since the fruit
is fibrous in nature.

159
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Naturally fibrous.

160
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,680
I have to do nothing
to make it so.

161
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,760
- Can you show me that box?
- Sure. Sure.

162
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880
- Attractive packaging.
- Thank you.

163
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,520
Thank you.

164
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Your goal is to sell jackfruit.

165
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,400
Why would the consumer
go for this?

166
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,520
One does not particularly
love jackfruit.

167
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,040
There is how the idea
came to me.

168
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,320
That jackfruit is
an ignored fruit.

169
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400
Almost 80 percent of India
has eaten jackfruit.

170
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:21,960
My grandma used to feed us this
calling this to be chicken.

171
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,600
A dish made from chicken.

172
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,680
So we did eat mock meat
for long.

173
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,720
I got an idea. If someone
cooks a jackfruit.

174
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,760
one will find out

175
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,880
it is tremendously excruciating
and painful.

176
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,800
It takes time to clean
a sticky fruit.

177
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,520
It is. - So we bring you
ready to cook.

178
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Ready to cook, no preservative
and all natural.

179
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,040
- It does have the taste.
- Calorie count?

180
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,600
Very light on calories.

181
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,160
You sell for Rs. 350.
How much does it cost you?

182
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,600
- Around Rs. 130.
- A margin of 60 percent.

183
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,480
- Less, about 50 percent.
- 50 percent.

184
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,880
- Margin is on net revenue.
- How long have you been at it?

185
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,120
I started sales about
ten months ago.

186
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,040
What are the sales?

187
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,520
In tenth months we closed
about six million.

188
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,080
In ten months? - Yes. - You have
money so why come here?

189
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Two things are strong in India.

190
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,040
One is D2C.

191
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,560
We do not have expertise in D2C.

192
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,040
I want to grow this as this is
the market.

193
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Second is HORECA.

194
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,320
HORECA was longing
for jackfruit in India.

195
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,240
Oh wow!

196
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,040
I am telling you we have
tie ups Pan India.

197
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,000
Hilton, IBs, Oberois.

198
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,080
They approved
our excellency kitchen.

199
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,000
So many investors have
approached.

200
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,760
But they were not sharks.

201
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,560
Yes. - I am very clear
about it.

202
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,080
I need someone to help me
scale this up to 100 Crores.

203
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,160
So I have grown up
in traditional buisness.

204
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,240
I can barely reach

205
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,160
50 Crores
on my own.

206
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,800
I am confident
I can get that.

207
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,760
I'll grow even further but then
I will be old.

208
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,600
- Kids will have the jackfruit.
- I need explosive growth.

209
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,920
I wish to disrupt the market.

210
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,000
I want partners who can
help me do that.

211
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,200
I need sharks.

212
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,080
I had a couple of quick
questions. - Yes.

213
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,920
What is the global perception
of a jackfruit. - Very good.

214
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,720
An American company
works with jackfruit.

215
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,520
They came to Kerala and saw
the jackfruit.

216
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,960
And we had it all this time

217
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,560
and about 75 percent of
jackfruit is wasted in India.

218
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,520
1.4 million tonnes
of jackfruit is grown per year.

219
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,480
75 percent is wasted
in 16 states.

220
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,480
I find it wrong so I want
to do something about it.

221
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,400
My aim is to make
jackfruit popular.

222
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,000
And my brand has to become
synonymous to jackfruit.

223
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,400
Do me a favour describe yourself
in one sentence.

224
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,920
Explorer. - Nice, one word.

225
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,640
My twitter handle has the first
word as explorer.

226
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,200
Ghazal, are you interested?

227
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,600
Are you? Just give us a minute.

228
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,800
You can continue.

229
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,040
HORECA is very dangerous.

230
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Stay on guard.

231
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,640
Jackfruit must not turn you
jack of all.

232
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,040
Focus and pick a direction.

233
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,120
I am sorry but I am
out of this. - Thank you.

234
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,280
I think we have a deal here.

235
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Seventy five lakhs for you at..

236
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,280
- Thirty percent of the equity.
- Whoa!

237
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,640
So. Sairaj,
I must tell you that

238
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:43,240
we don't value your HORECA
business and exports.

239
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Because, your HORECA business
is good for acquisition

240
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,600
and to build awareness.

241
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,120
You have to make it
a 'D2C' brand.

242
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,000
Ghazal, Namita,
and I have built many brands

243
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,120
during our careers.

244
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,040
For that, you need two things.

245
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,560
You need a good team.

246
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,200
And you will have to increase
your margin.

247
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,760
Because, if you want
to invest in marketing

248
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,520
you will have
to make it in 90 rupees.

249
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Sairaj, I say that they
are the three mothers.

250
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,000
The mother of 'Sugar Cosmetics'.

251
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,320
And she owns a pharma business.

252
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,680
And she owns 'Mamaearth'.

253
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,280
So, you are getting
three mothers..

254
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,760
For the price of one.

255
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:20,840
Power of three moms.

256
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Blessings of a mother
and her support

257
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,480
- is greater than anything.
- Sairaj, you tell us.

258
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,400
I am standing here today
because of my mom.

259
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,840
- So..
- Very good! - Great!

260
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,600
I don't have anything
to say on that.

261
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,400
But please don't call us mom.

262
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,720
I don't think that
you should dilute 30 percent.

263
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,920
Because,
this business needs capital.

264
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,560
You need money
for this business.

265
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,280
You will need a lot of money.

266
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,640
I will give you
15 lakh rupees.

267
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,560
As equity,
I will take five percent stake.

268
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,320
And the remaining 60 lakh
rupees can be a loan

269
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,040
at 12 percent rate of interest.

270
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Sairaj, three sharks versus one.

271
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,560
There is another option.

272
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360
I can invest twenty five lakhs
for ten percent equity.

273
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,320
And give you 75 lakhs as a loan.

274
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,440
You have brought
the rate card and the menu.

275
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,600
Absolutely.

276
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,720
Think before you
make a decision.

277
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,640
So..

278
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Would you like to take a minute?

279
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,600
Yes, I will just think.

280
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,760
- Yes.
- Sure. - Sure.

281
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,520
I am even willing
to go solo at 20,

282
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,520
- Sure..
- I think, 20 is a good value.

283
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,240
He has to be ready for 20.

284
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,040
Not at all 30 in my opinion.

285
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,920
If he gives away 30,
it will be foolish.

286
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Welcome back.

287
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,760
Please consider
what I am going to say.

288
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,560
I think that 30 percent
will be too much.

289
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,360
I cannot do that.
How is that possible?

290
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,120
We won't be able
to grow that fast. - Yes.

291
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,280
We will keep it minimal
and grow together

292
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,960
to make it big.
That is the idea.

293
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,760
So, that is what
my offer is based on.

294
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,000
What is the offer?

295
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,920
You can have 15 percent
for 75 lakhs.

296
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,200
I want all three of you.

297
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,080
And I am honest about it.

298
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,080
Since you brought in
the aspect of mother..

299
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,160
- But..
- You can thank me for that.

300
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,200
- I think that I should be out.
- No, sir.

301
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,040
Your offer is great.
But there are three of them.

302
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,840
Would you accept it,
if I make the same offer?

303
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,080
Whoa!

304
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,960
You have two offers.
Quick decision.

305
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,640
Honestly, I won't accept it.

306
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,520
Because,
their expertise is in the field

307
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,600
that I really want to grow in.

308
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,360
I will make a counter offer.

309
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,640
Seventy five for twenty one.

310
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640
So, at least,
we will get seven each.

311
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,080
- Substantial..
- It's a request.

312
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Please don't negotiate.

313
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,040
- I am asking you..
- We are requesting you.

314
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,560
- No..
- Don't negotiate.

315
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,680
I will tell you
what I am thinking.

316
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,720
I will be very frank.
I have nothing to hide.

317
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,320
We are all on one team.
I think, it's almost done.

318
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,560
So..

319
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,200
What a confidence?

320
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,200
I am holding the cheque.
Should I write it or not?

321
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,640
I will close it.
I will close it.

322
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,480
- Let's..
- Seventy five lakhs

323
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,080
- at twenty one percent.
- Let's do one last..

324
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,680
- Oh God!
- Just hear me out. - Sure.

325
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,960
Just hear me out.
One crore at twenty percent.

326
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,040
That's not bad.

327
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,800
What will you gain
from giving away so much equity?

328
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,680
Do you want to talk?

329
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,320
You had also diluted 40 percent
in the first round, didn't you?

330
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,800
Yes, but I had raised 28 crores
in the first round

331
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,840
- for 40 percent.
- Okay.

332
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,640
- That's the difference.
- That's the difference.

333
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,120
The business can reach
a certain scale with 28 crores.

334
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,480
And it was a different time.

335
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,560
Equity, when you are
building a company

336
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,320
is the most precious thing.

337
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,320
We have made many mistakes.

338
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,840
And we are still paying
the price for it.

339
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,600
You shouldn't make
the same mistake.

340
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,120
My threshold is being breached.

341
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,160
So, I am out of this deal.

342
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,840
But those two have
an offer for you.

343
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,880
We will give you
75 for 20 percent.

344
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,640
We cannot go any lower,
given your revenue.

345
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,120
- Tick tock..
- But why did you leave?

346
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,200
It was the same deal.

347
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,440
So, 75 lakhs for 21 percent
still stands.

348
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,560
Do you promise me that we will

349
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,000
go to around 150 crores
very soon? - Of course.

350
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,040
It's a deal.

351
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:33,040
- All right.
- Great! - Perfect!

352
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,360
- Congratulations.
- 'Wakao'!

353
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,960
Trust me, my friend.
You won't regret it.

354
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,960
- Thank you..
- You have three mothers

355
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,920
with you.

356
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,560
You have heard the saying,
famous last words, trust me.

357
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,240
- Trust me.
- Just shut up.

358
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,080
Why are you speaking?

359
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,640
- Let's do it.
- Awesome! - Thank you.

360
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,960
- Wow! Three women..
- Thank you.

361
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,680
- Thank you. - Well-done!
- We love your product.

362
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,640
- Good entrepreneur.
- Thank you.

363
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520
Here you go.
Congratulations!

364
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,280
So we will have
to do the 'wakao'.

365
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:05,240
- We have to do the 'wakao'.
- Oh, yes!

366
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,280
- Music..
- Music. - Play the music.

367
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,600
'Wakao!'

368
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,640
'Wakao!'

369
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,000
Superb!

370
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,560
- Superb!
- Thank you.

371
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,760
- Thank you.
- Congratulations!

372
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,440
- Thank you.- Congratulations!
- Congratulations!

373
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,480
- Oh, yes!
- Congratulations!

374
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,000
Finally, we have
made it happen.

375
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,520
Let me just do this once.

376
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,800
'Wakao!'

377
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,560
- Thank you.
- Awesome..

378
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:42,480
- I love his energy.
- We will have so much fun

379
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,000
- working with him.
- Women power..

380
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,320
It's a case study
of women power.

381
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,880
Wow!

382
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,080
I would have gone solo at 20.

383
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,200
Sharks, greetings.

384
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,360
- I am Sneha Visaria.
- Sharks, greetings.

385
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,360
I am Chirag Visaria.

386
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,040
Before I start

387
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,880
can I serve you 'Karanji'
prepared by my mom? - Wow!

388
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,160
Please.

389
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,600
Food prepared by your mom!

390
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,080
That too, baked.

391
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,840
That too, baked.

392
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,680
Healthy food.
Wow!

393
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,840
- Ma'am, can you please pass it?
- Sure. - With the box?

394
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,040
Sure.

395
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,720
For an Indian family

396
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,000
this is not just
a stainless steel box.

397
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,240
This is an emotion.

398
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,440
'Dal dhokli' used to be sent
in this box from our house.

399
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,400
And we used to get
'Payasam' in return.

400
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,400
Sometimes, this box used to be
sent to our neighbour

401
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,520
Ms. Chabra.
And sometimes

402
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,160
to our neighbour,
Mr. Patel.

403
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,440
And mom used to get
lots of praise in return.

404
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,240
'Aloo Paratha,
Poori Bhaji..'

405
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,440
Everything used to be sent
in stainless steel boxes.

406
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,720
But those memories
and stainless steel boxes

407
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:39,960
disappeared with time.

408
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,200
And these boxes are replaced
by plastic wear

409
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,720
and disposable boxes.

410
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,760
We, in the form of PDD Falcon

411
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,520
have brought back non-toxic,
food safe

412
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,360
and eco-friendly
stainless steel

413
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,840
with innovative
premium quality.

414
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,400
Redefining truly
stainless.

415
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,840
Today's Generation X mothers

416
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,880
want to include sustainable
and safe products

417
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,280
in their lifestyle.

418
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,160
Hearing their problems

419
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,520
we have introduced more
than 300 products in Falcon

420
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,360
with the goodness
of stainless steel.

421
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,320
We have manufactured
airtight, leak proof

422
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,800
Eco Next containers
with steel lid.

423
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,480
We have given Falcon's
baby section a sub-brand name

424
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,920
Joy and Zoee.

425
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,000
We are proud to say

426
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:29,520
we are a hundred per cent
make-in-India brand.

427
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,960
We use steel that shines.

428
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,760
This is just the beginning.

429
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,280
It's going to be a long journey.

430
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,240
We need your guidance.

431
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,640
We have come here
to ask for Rs. 75 lakh

432
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,560
for 3 per cent stake
in our company.

433
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,600
Would you like
to help this Falcon fly?

434
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,880
- Sneha and Chirag. - Yes.
- Welcome to Shark Tank.

435
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,560
Will you tell us
about yourselves?

436
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,480
Ma'am

437
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,280
we are husband and wife,
life partners

438
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
- and business partners.
- Very nice!

439
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,880
It was his family business.

440
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:05,080
And my father-in-law involved
me in the family business.

441
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,760
- Wow!
- And I got the knowledge

442
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,680
of stainless steel
manufacturing.

443
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,920
My father-in-law inducted me
into a male dominated industry.

444
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,680
He taught me
and trained me.

445
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,320
So that I can take
the company forward.

446
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,560
In August, 2016

447
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,760
he left us one night
all of a sudden.

448
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:35,160
It took one year
to get adjusted to this.

449
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,280
On his first death anniversary

450
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,960
Chirag and I thought
that fulfilling his dream

451
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,760
will be the true
homage to him.

452
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,920
My father-in-law's dream was..

453
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:50,520
We manufactured stainless steel
components for other brands

454
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:51,560
for years.

455
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,920
We should start our own brand.

456
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,320
So that end customers
know us by our brand name.

457
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,600
Hence, we started
PDD Falcon

458
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,960
redefining truly stainless.

459
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,480
My dad's vision was
to make a quality product.

460
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,160
Keeping his vision in mind

461
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,440
we designed and
manufactured the products.

462
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,800
We need to increase our
quality and production further.

463
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,240
- Are you with me?
- Yes!

464
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,680
We thought of preparing
just lunch box.

465
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,320
And there is a story
behind that.

466
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,280
Because we were
in supply business.

467
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,840
There were 6000 pieces

468
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080
which Chirag sir
wanted to scrap.

469
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,200
Chirag sir!

470
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,280
Yes, he is known as Chirag sir.

471
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,800
- And I call her Guruma.
- Amazing!

472
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,440
- Even we will call you the same.
- No, ma'am. Just Chirag.

473
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,440
So those pieces were
about to get wasted.

474
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,760
But my Gujarati mind
didn't want to do that.

475
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,480
Then I felt that I take my
son to the garden every day.

476
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,840
I used to carry the old
stainless steel box

477
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,480
which was not presentable.

478
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,040
Secondly, he is playing

479
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,840
and I am struggling
to open the box.

480
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,320
To avoid that embarrassment

481
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,360
we manufactured
the first lunch box

482
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,320
lunch box container.
You can see it here.

483
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,760
It's known as 'Tough'.

484
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Then begun
the real journey

485
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,320
of Falcon.

486
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,920
Our experiences helped us
build steel sipper.

487
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,440
Then we put
a steel straw in it

488
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,520
because usually

489
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,080
we don't get a steel straw
in a sipper.

490
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,960
For kids a steel straw

491
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:35,840
much safer than a plastic straw.

492
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,720
One of our friends
raised a concern

493
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,400
as to what will we do

494
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,480
if someone's jaw gets
hurt by the steel straw.

495
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,720
That's why we gave
it a silicon cover.

496
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,880
Then we learnt that

497
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,040
dirt may penetrate

498
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:48,520
when we carry them outside.

499
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,040
So, we gave it
a steel lid.

500
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,800
Then customers asked us

501
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,840
how to clean
this straw.

502
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,680
So, we added
a steel straw brush.

503
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,920
We kept evolving like that
and in no time

504
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,960
we had 300 products.

505
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,920
Amazing.

506
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,760
So, Chirag and Guruma

507
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,720
you both are creating
great products.

508
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,760
But the branding
is very bad.

509
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,760
Tell us a little
about the sales.

510
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Turnover in 2022

511
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,200
was two crore
forty two lakh rupees.

512
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:22,440
Wow! Good.

513
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,600
In 2019 to 2020

514
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,440
we had two crore
seventy two lakh rupees.

515
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,720
In the first year
we were at ten lakh rupees.

516
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,160
What's the projection
for this year?

517
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,480
We already have crossed
two crore forty two lakh rupees.

518
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,920
And we expect to close
at four crore sixty five lakh.

519
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,840
Fantastic.

520
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Also, you said that
you've 300 products.

521
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,760
What are your two or three

522
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,440
top selling products?
Tell me the reason too.

523
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,080
Ma'am, can I show you
the products? - Please.

524
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,880
I want to see the sipper.

525
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,720
I want to see
the feeding bottle.

526
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,400
I think that's one of their top
products. - Okay. - Yes, ma'am.

527
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,920
Ma'am. - Sipper is one
of your top products, right?

528
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,160
You might have seen a lot
of vegetable choppers

529
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,760
with plastic body.

530
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,360
We built a vegetable chopper

531
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,760
with stainless steel body.

532
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,000
It has one more speciality.

533
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:11,880
This can separate

534
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,880
cilantro's seeds.

535
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,280
Oh! - My mother-in-law
uses this

536
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,920
every single day.

537
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,200
So, all the products
you all are holding

538
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,920
- are our top selling products.
- Okay.

539
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,480
So, from your

540
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,400
overall proposition
I realised that

541
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800
you are a steel based
tupperware alternative.

542
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,760
Exactly, sir.

543
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,400
This makes you sustainable

544
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,560
- and ecofriendly.
- Yes.

545
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,080
I have a one and a half
year old son. - Okay, sir.

546
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,400
I have noticed that
my wife uses only steel products

547
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,240
to feed my son.

548
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,880
Until my wife takes

549
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,960
decision for my son Ivan

550
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,600
he will be using
such products.

551
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,560
But when he starts
going to the school

552
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,200
he may hesitate a little
to carry this.

553
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:59,400
That's why we built
these sipper bottles.

554
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,880
Have you done
a coating on this?

555
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,480
- Yes, sir.
- That's a food grade color.

556
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,440
Why didn't you do this branding
on all the products?

557
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,160
Vineetha also raised
a point

558
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,320
that your brand is weak.

559
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,520
Steel is very good.

560
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,160
But young generation
doesn't like it much.

561
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,440
- They hesistate a little.
- You are absolutely right.

562
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,920
But we have experienced
that

563
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,440
people prefer both.

564
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,840
- Okay.
- That steel bottle

565
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720
is little better
than the ordinary steel.

566
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,800
Every product has gone through
a minimum of 13 to 15 processes.

567
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,320
And 200 to 300 hundred
people are involved in

568
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,840
the development
of such products.

569
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,320
So each product
is unique in itself.

570
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,840
We want to build an impression

571
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,640
that good steel means

572
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,720
Falcon steel.

573
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,080
But your competition
can build all these products.

574
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,760
Nothing among these is patented

575
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,920
to prevent people
from copying it.

576
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,040
Mr. Chirag,
what's the gross margin?

577
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,520
It's 30 percent.

578
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,560
Why so less?

579
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,880
It should be very high
as you manufacture them.

580
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,040
Is 30 percent less!

581
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,120
Yes.

582
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,880
Because you manufacture
on your own.

583
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,800
That's their point
and they are right.

584
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,080
Chirag and Guruma, unfortunately
I've decided.

585
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,800
When gross margin is less

586
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,120
we have very limited
amount of money

587
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,840
to spend on marketing.

588
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,680
The money that we need
for marketing comes

589
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,960
from the gross margin.

590
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,000
So, I think it is
a category issue.

591
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:40,720
That's why I won't be able
to participate with you.

592
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,680
The new generation
is not moving

593
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,880
towards such products.

594
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,400
So, there we have to create
a category

595
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,480
which is very expensive

596
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,080
when the gross margin
is so less.

597
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,000
I want to leave
from this.

598
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,080
I'm sorry.

599
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,760
I also took the decision.

600
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,840
The other products

601
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,080
are not unique

602
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,880
and that's why I'm out.

603
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,280
But I wish you
the very best.

604
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,360
This is a very

605
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,280
non cool category.

606
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,080
Especially
in the current millennium.

607
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,840
You should bring the coolness
factor in your brand

608
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,120
if you really want to build it.

609
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,160
And then eventually
you will have less competition.

610
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,320
Till it is mixed, it will not
become a brand.

611
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,080
So, I am out.

612
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,400
I am the only one left.

613
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,000
First of all, tell me..

614
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840
I don't think
that you lack money.

615
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,400
Yes. - So, what are you
looking for on this show?

616
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,400
Ma'am, we have come here
to get your mentorship.

617
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,000
How to market the product..

618
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,240
How to take
it to the next level..

619
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,520
We have product strength.

620
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,360
We can make whatever you say.

621
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,640
You will get that finesse.

622
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,320
We have come here
for the marketing..

623
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,280
...for the mentorship
and for the tie-up.

624
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,160
Ma'am, only
the stainless steel sippers

625
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,800
could have such a large range

626
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,840
that one single consumer
could use three products

627
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,040
from 'Falcon'.

628
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,040
A single Indian family
utilises 200 kilograms of steel

629
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,440
on an average.
This is a standard norm.

630
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,440
- Wow!
- What is the market size?

631
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,360
Market size for only
this segment of tiffin boxes..

632
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,480
This is a 5000 crore industry
in just steel, sir.

633
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,360
Such a huge market.

634
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,880
Mr. Chirag, Ms. Sneha,
I will give you 30 lakh rupees.

635
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,800
in exchange
for 10 per cent equity.

636
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,880
- Oh!
- And the rest of the amount..

637
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,560
I will give you as a loan

638
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,080
on which you can give
me interest.

639
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,800
What is the interest rate?

640
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,240
Interest rate is 12 per cent.

641
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,240
That's too high, ma'am.

642
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,600
That's too high?

643
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,800
They take credit from the bank.
That's the reason.

644
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,080
Ma'am, if you could give us
two minutes, please..

645
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,160
Sure. Please..

646
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Ghazal, they have painted
the sippers with colours

647
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,960
like neon, pink, green
and yellow..

648
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,080
If they coat
the rest of the things also

649
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,080
then that will do it.

650
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,600
I always tell you that product
is my strength. - Yes.

651
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,040
How to make the product..
I will figure that out. - Yes.

652
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,200
- I will make it beautiful.
- Yes. You have to just

653
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,360
rework on the design.

654
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,880
How much is the difference..

655
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,080
- It would be the same.
- Six..

656
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,040
With marketing I can make
the brand

657
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,280
- with the name 'Falcon'.
- Yes.

658
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,480
Yes..
Mr. Chirag, Ms. Sneha..

659
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,680
What is your decision?

660
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,720
See, the loan component.. So..
No.. Okay?

661
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,600
Second, ma'am, we don't want
to liquidate the stakes so much.

662
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,960
Six per cent
for 75 lakh is okay.

663
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,920
30 lakh is totally..

664
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,440
That would be a 12.5 crore
valuation.

665
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,040
If you take six per cent.

666
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,520
Just FYI. - We will definitely
make it next year.

667
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,240
For 75.. We'll get
that turnover. - Otherwise..

668
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,640
Otherwise, you will get
your entire money back

669
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,920
with interest.

670
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,320
- Oh!
- Wow!

671
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,440
Very nice.

672
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760
I will give you 75 lakh.
Let's remove the debt.

673
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,240
For 11 per cent equity
with this clause..

674
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,240
...which you just said..

675
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,920
...that if you can't make
it to 12 crores

676
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,160
then you will return
the entire amount with interest.

677
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,680
This will be written
on the contract.

678
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:23,760
- Sure. You can write that.
- Of course.

679
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Ma'am, I keep my word.

680
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,400
Ma'am, we don't want
to liquidate

681
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,720
more than six per cent.

682
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,240
I can't take any less
than 11 per cent.

683
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,480
- That won't be possible for us.
- Sorry, ma'am.

684
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,320
- That's okay.
- Thank you so much.

685
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,000
- I am really glad to meet you.
- Thank you for coming here.

686
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,080
- All the best..
- Thank you so much.

687
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,760
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

688
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,960
Hi, Sharks.
My name is Aamir Mulani

689
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,400
and I'm the founding CEO
of Playbox TV.

690
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,240
My name is Soham. I'm the
creative head at Playbox TV.

691
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,320
We are from Mumbai.

692
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,280
Sir, do you know what's
the biggest problem in India?

693
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,600
Every house in India has
a different content requirement.

694
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,160
Bunty likes to watch the match,
but his sister likes movies.

695
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,480
Dad likes watching the news
and mom likes daily soaps.

696
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,760
And they are paying different
subscriptions for each.

697
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,120
Sometimes OTT streaming
subscriptions

698
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,760
or sometimes for cable TV.

699
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,000
And despite paying for
so many subscriptions

700
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,080
they can't watch
this on one platform.

701
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,120
If you want to a show,
use a set-top box for cable TV

702
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,240
or if you want to
watch something on OTT

703
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,440
download multiple apps
and then search.

704
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,760
To solve this problem
we have Playbox TV.

705
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,400
Sharks, you can download
Playbox TV on your phone

706
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,240
to watch on your phone
and at the same time

707
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,600
if you want to watch
it on your TV

708
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:38,920
then you can download it
on your Android TV store

709
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,760
or Fire TV store too.

710
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,960
So can I watch web-series?

711
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,480
Tell me which one you want
to see. I'll search for you.

712
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,360
'Scam 1992'.

713
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,200
So here is the search button.

714
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:52,400
I'll search for 'Scam 1992'.

715
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,400
Here is 'Scam 1992'.

716
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,640
With a click of a button

717
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,760
we'll play it in the app.

718
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,280
This is fine on the phone,
but I want to watch it on TV.

719
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,560
What do you want
to watch on the TV?

720
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,120
Let's watch Shark Tank.

721
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,560
Sharks,
we can search for Shark Tank

722
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,360
and from which platform
is it available.

723
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,080
And how many seasons
does it has.

724
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,560
At the same time
on a click of a button

725
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,960
you switch to live TV.

726
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,080
And you can do this through
our app on your smart TV.

727
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,720
Let's play Sony TV

728
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,400
and this is what
Sony channel is.

729
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,320
It's playing now.

730
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,520
You can watch any
channel like this.

731
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:44,040
You can search for more than
40 streaming services

732
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,960
through this app

733
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,840
you can watch multiple apps
through a single sign in

734
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,040
and all this on
a single subscription.

735
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,480
That too on a discounted rate.

736
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,360
Now the question is how
will we do all this?

737
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,320
Who has taken care of
entertainment all these years?

738
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,960
From the first season
of 'Mahabharat'

739
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,480
to 'Sooryavansham' on SET MAX.

740
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,680
- Our Manish.
- Who is Manish?

741
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:11,920
Manish is our local cable
and internet operator.

742
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,480
It's the same Manish who,
be it rain or storm

743
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,160
has always been with us

744
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,200
and played an important role
in providing us entertainment.

745
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:23,320
Sir, Manish is the one who'll
help us reach every house.

746
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,600
Because he knows us
since many years

747
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,680
and our customers.

748
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,880
So in this changing
OTT revolution

749
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,880
partners like Manish and I

750
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,520
will deliver Playbox TV
to every house

751
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,640
and make a single entertainment
gateway.

752
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,320
We are here seeking one crore

753
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,400
inexhange for 3.5 percent
equity. - Wow!

754
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,040
This is the truth of life

755
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,920
that it has it's
needs every time.

756
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,200
Sometimes it makes us laugh
sometimes, it makes us cry.

757
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:50,880
Sharks, this is Playbox TV

758
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,040
which unites us will our family.

759
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:53,960
- Wow!
- Wow!

760
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,360
Sharks, are you ready
to take a flight of your life?

761
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,840
Very good..

762
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,400
At least I have a this problem
with multiple remotes.

763
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,680
I always tell my husband
that we have five remotes.

764
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:10,440
We need one remote per hand.

765
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,280
This is hard work.

766
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,440
Since JioTV has
integrated everything

767
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,920
- it has become very easy.
- Yes.

768
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,120
Is this still a real problem
behind which you're working?

769
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,320
Basically, the 30 year
old cable operator

770
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,280
who used to sell cable TV
has started internet today.

771
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,760
He's not able to give anything
apart from the internet.

772
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,200
Who is he competing with?

773
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:39,600
As you said, Jio fiber,
Airtel fiber and other players.

774
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,040
I'll tell about a universe.

775
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,080
In India, 2.2 crore houses
have broadband internet.

776
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,760
Just 2.2 crore houses

777
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,040
but there are more than
10 crore cable TV homes

778
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,440
who are playing
subscription for video.

779
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,880
These broadband partners
who have 2.2 crore homes

780
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,560
occupy 50 percent of the market.

781
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,240
That is Jio, Airtel

782
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,040
big players like Hathway,
Den and all of that.

783
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,160
But Manish or Sita broadband

784
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,040
own 50 percent of the market

785
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,760
and they are still
delivering services to homes.

786
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,840
So you sell to cable operators

787
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,400
and they sell it with
some commission. - Yes.

788
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,920
Our model is very simple.

789
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,560
We tell cable operators
and internet operators

790
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,600
since their cable connections
numbers are decreasing

791
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,560
buy the Playbox TV's
OTT platform

792
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,280
bundle it with your internet
and give them subscriptions.

793
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,320
They want to give some OTT

794
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,760
because their customers are
being taken by big Telcos.

795
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,120
That is why they come to me.

796
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,320
I give them bundle
from Rs. 99 to Rs. 399

797
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,760
as per the customer's plan
right from 5 Mbps to 500 Mbps.

798
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,000
So this is a declining market
as per connections.

799
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,880
As far as I understand
there are two things here.

800
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,400
One is that people aren't
just switching to OTT

801
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,800
they are switching
to better connections

802
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,960
for better service
and all the conveniences.

803
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:59,320
So a cable operator
struggles to provide that.

804
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,040
How will you compete in
this declining market?

805
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,200
I don't understand this.

806
00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:07,480
Though cable TV market
is declining

807
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,200
the broadband internet market
is increasing rapidly in India.

808
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:14,440
But if you use a Firestick
from Amazon

809
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,360
- you'll get the same service.
- This is what I wanted to say.

810
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,800
- Firestick does the same.
- That's right.

811
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,000
I'll tell you that we are
ahead of fire tv.

812
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,240
Fire Tv is just aggregating
content, I bring subscriptions.

813
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,240
Today in our 399 pack
I am giving you

814
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,560
Amazon prime, Amazon music,
Amazon Shopping.

815
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,200
Plus Sony Liv premium
and ZEE5 premium content.

816
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,120
Voot select, Shemarro, Epicon
plus 350 live TV channels.

817
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,600
- Included in your subscription?
- Yes.

818
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,880
We have made 87 partners
in India.

819
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,440
And we have currently 26000
users on our platforms.

820
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,840
So you have tie up with Sony
and Zee.

821
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,800
Yes, I partnered with
everybody.

822
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,880
Netflix is most expensive.
What of that?

823
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,080
Now that I am here,
Netflix will be on board.

824
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,200
- Give me the numbers.
- Numbers.

825
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,000
Last month revenue was 87 lakhs.

826
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:09,400
Not bad. - Before that
it was 62 lakhs.

827
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,120
Before that
it was 59 lakhs.

828
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,960
Before that
it was 53 lakhs.

829
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,760
Once you reach a few million,
JIO will give broadband for free

830
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,640
and the free aggregation.

831
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:26,240
And hence the moment
they sense you getting good

832
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,000
they might tie up
with cable operators.

833
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,200
That is what I fear.
They may acquire you.

834
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,720
I find it risky to invest
ten million in this.

835
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,520
So I am out.

836
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,600
Your business is customer
acquisition engine.

837
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,880
Dependent on local
cable operator.

838
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,200
They are all getting
consolidated

839
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,000
Jio and Reliance
have brought many.

840
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,720
So for how long will this go on?

841
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,000
It may grow a bit for sure

842
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,360
but this is going to end.

843
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,440
Forgive me, I am out.
I wish you the best.

844
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:13,800
Do you have an investor
for this valuation

845
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,520
or a prior round of investing?

846
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,200
This is our first round.

847
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:21,000
We have a strategic partner
in our company

848
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,280
- who is also an ISP.
- Who is it?

849
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,440
Microscan company
from Mumbai.

850
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,920
It has 2000 km underground
fibre network in Mumbai

851
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,760
being one of the biggest
wholesale bandwidth sellers..

852
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,560
Got it. What percent
ownership they have?

853
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,600
It is around 40 percent
and mine is 60 percent.

854
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,480
So I cannot relate
o the product

855
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,640
So I am out I wish you
the best. - Thank you.

856
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,720
Amar, I invest in business
where I understand the product

857
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,160
and that a major problem is
being solved

858
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,880
in a unique way.

859
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,880
And hence I am out.

860
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,680
So tell me what is your mode?

861
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,360
Why can no one else do this?
Is no one else doing it?

862
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,720
Jio is doing it for themselves.

863
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,600
Jio and any other players
like you?

864
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,120
Right now in ISP space,
we have a few.

865
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,800
F TV scope is in this.

866
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,760
So you are making a company
that Jio can buy.

867
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,320
No, sir, that is not it.
Time will tell.

868
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,680
But you are ready?

869
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,120
What do you have that no one
else can copy?

870
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,200
So we have that once I get
a partner on board

871
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:42,840
they work with me since I am not
from the broadband background.

872
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,000
Can be an issue of mindset.

873
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,840
I am not entering their
market space.

874
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,440
So we have our strength

875
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:53,400
that in this unorganized
cable operator sectors

876
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,080
there is no such platform.

877
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:59,800
They are with me as they cannot
make this tech for themselves.

878
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:01,280
How does broadband market work?

879
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,880
Class A license holder
brings submarine cables home

880
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,400
and then there are three layers
to reach local operator.

881
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,760
Class, A, Class B
and Class C ISPs.

882
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,600
But the last mile operator
has fibre in every home.

883
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:16,560
So it holds monopoly
over customer.

884
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,600
They are such folk that
hold a good market.

885
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,560
Plus the price point.

886
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,840
Local operator has
Rs. 100 as cost

887
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,800
since no more operation cost.

888
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,280
That is why he gives service.

889
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,520
Local partner can get you help
any time internet is down.

890
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,560
And that is why he can come
anytime.

891
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,120
Jio and Airtel cannot.

892
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:39,640
I trust them more than anyone.

893
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,800
They have lot of opportunity
to get skilled

894
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,240
and get organized and aggregate
to a platform.

895
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,280
I'll give you an offer.

896
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,480
You own 60 percent.

897
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,800
Microscan holds 40 percent.

898
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,320
- Who makes decisions?
- I will.

899
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,240
- You will?
- For certain, sir.

900
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,560
So I cannot be a small
investor. It is early stage.

901
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,400
And a declining market.

902
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,480
So my offer is five million
for 20 percent equity.

903
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,920
And five million as loan.
I bring strategic help.

904
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,680
Loan at what interest?

905
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,640
That will 12 percent per year.

906
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,920
You got no profit so it is
a risk I will take.

907
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,640
- You may discuss.
- May we please?

908
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,080
- 2.5 Crore valuation.
- No revenue.

909
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:37,560
That is a good valuation.

910
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,800
That is not what I am in.

911
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,840
This will be sold.

912
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,640
- It will be sold.
- He is a decision maker.

913
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,520
We do not want a loan.

914
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,240
Let me tell you why I am
investing here.

915
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,000
It is fast growing.

916
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,760
Before you speak, I got
a question for you.

917
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,520
What is your role
in the company?

918
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,320
Creatives, PR
and marketing.

919
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,600
How did you two meet?

920
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:05,000
He is the son of Sandip Dhonde
who is owner of Microscan.

921
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,520
I am out before you answer.

922
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,320
Let me tell you why.

923
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,280
You should have disclosed it
first with us.

924
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:17,200
Okay.

925
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,640
I asked you who is
decision maker.

926
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,640
I am the one, sir. - Let me
tell you, apart from money.

927
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,320
I want to live stress free.

928
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,720
Multiple owners and he has
40 percent equity.

929
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,240
I respect him.

930
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,040
Multiple decision making
is worse, I experienced it.

931
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,080
I think I am successful
at Lenskart

932
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,920
since we are very clear
over decision making.

933
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:50,560
I have seen many start ups
and invested in many.

934
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:53,520
With great product
and technology.

935
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,520
And I never knew it can go bad.

936
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,040
But because decision making
was not well.. - Sir.

937
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,480
- Thank you, sharks.
- We are done.

938
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,600
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

939
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,440
- Thank you, best of luck.
- Bye.

940
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,680
A good man though.

941
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:09,400
He was good but..

942
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,760
A very valid point.

943
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,800
- Had he not kept it from start..
- It'd be different.

944
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,640
- It would be different.
- That was bothering me.

945
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,320
I'll be very honest.
So I told you..

946
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,600
It was bothering me of the share
of 40 percent ownership.
