00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Since childhood, we have
encountered many problems

3
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,400
but instead of ignoring them

4
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:47,560
we try to find a solution.

00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,080
[music playing]

6
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,600
We throw away worn-out things.

7
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,720
But he brings it,
opens it,

8
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,760
and repairs it.

10
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,160
We faced that problem too.

11
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,480
We felt that this problem
must be resolved.

12
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,800
[music playing]

13
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,240
We are presenting the solution
on Shark Tank India Season 2.

[music playing]

15
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,320
- Greetings, sharks!
- Greetings.

16
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Before the pitch begins,
let's have a cup of tea.

17
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,480
- Wow.
- Amazing.

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,560
- We need it.
- It will be great.

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,280
If you serve us good tea,
it might work in your favour.

20
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,240
- Dhaval.
- Yes, sir.

21
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:30,880
Welcome to Shark Tank.

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,160
Do you know him?

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,920
It's an interesting story.
I will share it soon.

24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,480
Wow!

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,760
You're health conscious so

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,280
I'm serving you tea
with less sugar.

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,080
Oh, wow! Thank you so much.

28
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,440
[music playing]

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,920
The tea is great.

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,840
Yes, it's amazing.

31
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,360
- Thank you for the tea.
- Thank you.

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,400
Big businesses
are planned over tea.

33
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080
- So, we decided to try it here.
- Great!

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680
What do we need in the morning?
A cup of tea.

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,800
During office breaks,

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,760
what do we need?
A cup of tea.

37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,320
What does Salman Khan need?

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,200
One hot cup of tea.

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,040
[laughs]

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,360
We, Indians, love tea so much

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,560
that there's a tea stall
at every corner.

42
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,400
When we drink tea there,
it's served in paper cups

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,600
or a glass.

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
The paper cup

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,600
costs us and our
environment a lot.

46
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880
When it's served in a glass,

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,040
have you ever seen
how it's washed?

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,840
Yes, I have.

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,640
To solve this problem,
we have created

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,360
tea glass washing machine.

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,440
It can hygienically wash
12 to 15 glasses

52
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,240
can be used to develop more
products for the washing industry.

53
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:04,200
Sharks, our vision is

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,960
to install this machine
at every tea stall in India.

55
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Everybody must be served
a hygienic cup of tea.

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,680
We are Team Mahantam
from Banaskantha, Gujarat.

57
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400
- We need 30 lakhs for 10% equity.
- Woah!

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,880
I will drink tea in a cup washed
by Mahantam washer.

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,920
- Woah!
- Wow!

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,680
Wow! It was great,
Dhaval and Jayesh!

61
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,920
Welcome to Shark Tank.

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,840
I feel I'm more nervous than you.

63
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,080
When I got my first funding round,

64
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,800
that people have to work
hard to make it to Shark Tank.

65
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,720
We receive more than
lakh applications.

66
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,760
We receive a lot of applications.
I thought about my journey.

67
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,320
All of us got a chance

68
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,600
and after that

69
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,480
I have invested in 200 companies
and I'm sitting here.

70
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,000
But, there are so many
people with ideas

71
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,200
but there are so many hurdles.

72
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:21,000
If you can't make a business plan,
how will you reach a VC?

73
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,080
How will you raise money
and come to Shark Tank?

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,600
So, I floated something...

75
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Oh, yes, I remember.

76
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,400
You have to make
a one-minute reel

77
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,600
and tell us what you want
to do and why.

78
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,400
Our team will pick a few,
give them a grant

79
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,960
- for no equity.
- Wow.

80
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,320
So, Dhaval and Jayesh

81
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,040
- had received a grant through us.
- Oh, lovely.

82
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:50,120
You have fulfilled my dream
by making it here.

83
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,200
- Good job!
- Well done!

84
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,360
First of all, I wish to say

85
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,440
that this machine here
is our latest version.

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,080
We have built this machine
with your grant.

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,800
- Wow!
- That's why we could make it.

88
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,720
Otherwise, we would've
presented the older version.

89
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,040
- Oh, my God!
- Very nice.

90
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Thank you.

91
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Dhaval and Jayesh, tell us
a bit more about your story.

92
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,040
Sir, I always wanted
to have a business.

93
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,560
So, when we were at home
during the lockdown,

94
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,560
he used to work
on the machine

95
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,120
and I was looking
for business ideas

96
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,080
to move ahead.

97
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,320
That's when he fully developed
the machine.

98
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,480
Then we, as brothers...

99
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,560
- Are you brothers?
- Yes.

100
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,840
And you've studied
in the same school.

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Yes, we studied in the same school

102
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,920
till I was in 11th
and he was in 9th.

103
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,800
- Okay.
- Then I went to Dhanera.

104
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,760
And he went to Palanpur
to pursue his diploma.

105
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,360
Okay.

106
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,040
In the beginning, I went
and met all the professors.

107
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,560
One of them guided me
to another professor.

108
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,680
So, that's how I met
Mr Brijesh Patel.

109
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,080
He's my mentor now.

110
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,640
While pursuing my diploma,

111
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,000
I would drink tea at a stall
outside the college, regularly.

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,640
All of us used to drink tea at
the stall outside the college.

113
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,040
We still do.

114
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,520
I used to notice the tub of water
with glasses every day.

115
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520
They would just rinse
it and serve.

116
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,680
Yeah.

117
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,120
But, we used to find it normal.

118
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,000
I got accustomed
drinking it every day.

119
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,000
[chuckles]

120
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,840
But, one day, I noticed

121
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,040
that the goat raised
by that uncle

122
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,440
came and put its mouth
into the water.

123
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,960
The goat drank water from
the bucket that had the glasses.

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,480
Oh!

125
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,640
No.

126
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,240
I've solved this problem for you.

127
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,920
Thank you.

128
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,520
So cute.

129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,640
I told the uncle that the goat
is drinking the water.

130
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,520
And he was indifferent.

131
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,200
This can be ignored.

132
00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,600
He spoke in his language.

133
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Ignorance is bliss,
something like that.

134
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,720
Firstly, I stopped
drinking tea there.

135
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,080
Then, while I was at home
during Covid-19,

136
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,200
my dad had gifted me
a laptop before that

137
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,840
and I took it,

138
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,600
searched on YouTube:
How to make a design.

139
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,920
It took me six months
to learn design.

140
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,080
As soon as the lockdown
got lifted,

141
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,920
I went to Dhanera with my dad

142
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,840
at the hardware shop that
was repairing our bed.

143
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,200
I asked my dad to speak
to them for me.

144
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,360
I spoke to them

145
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,280
and told them that I want
to work there.

146
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,600
I will help you,

147
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,080
work for you and I don't
want to be paid.

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,560
Gradually, I put my word.

149
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,920
I asked if I could make things
with the scraps lying around.

150
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,520
They said yes.

151
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,040
[music playing]

152
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,080
I had two hours of break.

153
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,240
I used that time
to do my work.

154
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,000
[music playing]

155
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,600
And soon, I made a machine

156
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,240
which was a total failure.

157
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,600
This is the machine.

158
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,280
It took me six months
to make this failed model.

159
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,000
I made the second machine
and it failed too.

160
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,200
But, my mechanism was set.

161
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800
I made the third machine
and it failed too.

162
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,760
Even the fourth one failed.

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,600
One day, while making the machine,
the uncle walked to me

164
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600
and told me that
I'm wasting my time

165
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,640
and the worker's too.
He asked me to let it be.

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120
So, I went to meet my teacher
in Palanpur.

167
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,720
I told him that I want to make
a machine and I don't have money.

168
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,720
He told me not to worry
and gave me 10,000 rupees.

169
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Wow!

170
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,080
So, I started making it again.

171
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,720
It took me a month.

172
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,240
The water flow, mechanism,
everything was set.

173
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,320
The prototype was ready
but it wasn't ready for the market.

174
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
I have a friend who is a YouTuber.

175
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,520
He offered to make
a video of me.

176
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,960
They shot a video of me
and uploaded it on YouTube.

[music playing]

178
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,840
- Awesome!
- Wow, man!

179
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,000
There's an engineer in Surat,
Chai Makers By Engineers.

180
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,520
He was a mechanical engineer

181
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,320
and he called me after
watching this video.

182
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,040
He wanted to purchase this machine.

183
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,040
- He was a tea maker.
- Yes.

184
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,720
Now, I started
feeling successful.

185
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,880
I spoke to my mentor

186
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,680
and he asked me to give the machine

187
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,680
but not charge them.

188
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,520
Because it's my first machine.
I agreed.

189
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,520
Somewhere, money
was the constraint.

190
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,680
So, I went to college
and met my professor.

191
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,000
I went to another college too.

192
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,800
I presented over there.

193
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400
and we have sold
three machines already.

194
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,840
One in Karnataka.

195
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,680
I sold the first machine for 20,000.

196
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,440
I sold the second and third
machine for 28,000.

197
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,320
Woah!

198
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,960
- Social media is powerful in India.
- Amazing!

199
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,760
If 5-6 entrepreneurs make
innovation in a village,

200
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,160
and upload it on YouTube.

201
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,440
They are receiving orders
and people are showing interest.

202
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,440
India is learning the value
of business.

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,600
What do your parents do?

204
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:37,320
My dad runs a studio.

205
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,400
He does photography
and he's a LIC agent too.

206
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,920
He also works as a barber
from home.

207
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,600
What does your dad
have to say

208
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:48,240
about your journey
and your success so far?

209
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,000
My dad always tells us
that he trusts us.

210
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,760
He motivates us to do
what we want.

211
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,440
You're fortunate.

212
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,240
You sold the first machine
for 20,000.

213
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,360
Were the other two same
or did you make changes?

214
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,960
Yes, we did make changes.

215
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,520
The first machine could
only do internal washing.

216
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,400
But the customer told us
that it's not enough.

217
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,640
While filling cups,

218
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,080
if it spills on the outside,

219
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,440
then we will have to dip
it in the water again.

220
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,280
So, we installed internal
and external washing.

221
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,800
So, this is the latest design.

222
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,120
So, this is your ready
for market version.

223
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,000
Yes.

224
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,520
Shall we do a demo
with these tea glasses?

225
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,240
- Let's go.
- We will wash it.

226
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,480
Come on.

227
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,160
What do we have to do?
Where do I keep it?

228
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,040
- Is there tea in it?
- There's a bit left.

229
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,320
No worries.

230
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,640
- The glasses won't break, right?
- No, they won't.

231
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,400
Give this to me.

232
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,000
How many can you
load at once?

233
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,080
We can load 15 cups at a time.

234
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,080
The washing process.

235
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,200
[whirring]

236
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,680
As soon as the glasses
pop out after washing,

237
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,560
the next batch of cups
will get loaded automatically.

238
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,280
Now, press it, sir.

239
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,360
I have to hold it here, right?

240
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,120
Hold it a bit when it starts.
Now, hold it.

241
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,840
Now, pull it.

242
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,880
Pull it.

243
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,040
Okay, release it now.

244
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:12,840
Two batches are done.

245
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,480
- They will keep stacking.
- Yes.

246
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,440
- 5, 5, 5, so that makes it 15.
- Yes.

247
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,600
[music playing]

248
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,680
Do tea shops

249
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,680
have an electrical outlet?

250
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,680
This needs electricity
to function.

251
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,960
Those selling on railway platforms
might not have electricity access.

252
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:32,960
It's a good point.

253
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Sir, let's understand the target
market first.

254
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,760
So, our target is

255
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,080
time and hygiene management.

256
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,240
Also to show-off
to a certain extent.

257
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,360
[laughs]

258
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,560
- I love it.
- That's the target market.

259
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Those who have a setup,

260
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,760
a place to heat tea

261
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,560
then they surely have
electricity connection.

262
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:55,040
It requires a 12-voltage battery.

263
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,040
They keep it to light a bulb.
This can function on that.

264
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,480
But it will consume
the battery quickly.

265
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,720
It consumes electricity worth 9
rupees for washing 10,000 glasses.

266
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:08,640
What's the cost of the battery?

267
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,360
The battery cost ranges
between 1200 and 4000.

268
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,480
There are variations.

269
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,960
But does it help save money?

270
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,600
At a normal tea stall,

271
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:20,120
if paper cups are being used,

272
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,400
around 800-1000 paper cups
are used every day.

273
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,520
So, it amounts to 6000 rupees
for 30 days.

274
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,120
- Rs. 6,000. You mean one glass
costs 10 paise. - Yes.

275
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,880
- Alright.
- If he employs labour,

276
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,440
he will have to pay Rs. 200
to the labour per day.

277
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,800
So they use disposable cups.

278
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,440
If we consider those expenses,
our machine's cost

279
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,400
will be recovered within 6 months.

280
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,320
Dhaval and Jayesh, tell me something.

281
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,320
There must be
limited shops selling tea

282
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,360
- because tea is sold
on roadside stalls normally. - Yes.

283
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,800
We already have
requirements stating,

284
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,840
"My stall is small

285
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,240
so please reduce
the size of the machine."

286
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,920
This machine has three columns.

287
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,840
It can be lengthened
or reduced in size.

288
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,640
Its size can be reduced.

289
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,440
They may connect it to
the normal water supply they use

290
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,040
for their daily
requirements of water.

291
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,640
How much water is used in one day?

292
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,560
This container's capacity
is 38 litres.

293
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,280
[suspenseful music]

294
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,280
- Are you calculating?
- Yes.

295
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Until you calculate,
please tell me something.

296
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,320
Does it contain soap too?

297
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,440
Ma'am, let me give one answer

298
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,800
- and then I'll answer another one.
- Alright.

299
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,480
How can he do two things
simultaneously?

300
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160
- I was asking Jayesh.
- He's adorable!

301
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,360
Okay, sir.
Let me tell you the monthly cost.

302
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,760
He snaps and answers
like a computer.

303
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,200
If it washes 1,000 glasses a day,

304
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720
the cost of electricity
will be one rupee.

305
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,800
- Let's try to understand the
market. - What about my question?

306
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,720
- I'm sorry! - From where is
the soap added to the machine?

307
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,400
This machine doesn't use soap.

308
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,480
It uses water pressure
to wash the glasses.

309
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,920
But the tea vendors
use soap to wash the glasses.

310
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,240
There is a tub containing soap water
and then they dip it in clean water.

311
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,520
Only a few vendors do that.

312
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,280
- Otherwise, they don't use soap.
- My God!

313
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,680
If they need a machine
that dispenses soap,

314
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,680
it can easily be done
as it doesn't have a big mechanism.

315
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,400
As we've given a water connection,
we may give a connection for soap.

316
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,800
Does your machine
cost Rs. 28,000 currently?

317
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,320
- Yes. It costs Rs. 28,000.
- What will be your margin?

318
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,000
We manufactured it for Rs. 19,000.

319
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,120
We get a 32% margin.

320
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,040
We aim to sell
50 machines this year.

321
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,440
- You'll sell 50 machines
costing Rs. 30,000. - Yes!

322
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,400
- What will be the total revenue?
- Rs. 15 lakhs.

323
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,720
You asked for Rs. 30 lakhs
for 10% equity.

324
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,120
How will you use this money?
And how will the investor earn?

325
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,960
Firstly, we don't have
a manufacturing plant.

326
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,240
We don't even have the basic tool.

327
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,240
We want to buy
the machinery and tools first.

328
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,240
- We want to arrange
for basic tools. - Alright!

329
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,200
Then we'll register our company.

330
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720
We also need money for R&D.

331
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720
We want to try making
another version too.

332
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160
How will you return
the investor's money?

333
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,920
We'll use some amount
of the money to make 50 machines.

334
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,240
It's not that we'll use Rs. 30 lakhs
to manufacture 50 machines.

335
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,840
We will have SKUs

336
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,520
of internal washing machines
and external washing machines,

337
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,160
and the third category is glass
washers to be used at weddings.

338
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,280
We'll manufacture machines
for the glasses and bowls

339
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,000
used to serve food at parties.

340
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,160
We planned to enter
the market of tea stalls

341
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,840
but now we realise

342
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,280
that the market is much bigger
than we thought.

343
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,040
So ultimately, it's not yet decided

344
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,720
how your company
will grow in future.

345
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,320
Right now you have a plan
of building 50 machines.

346
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,440
You took baby steps
to reach this stage.

347
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,800
"We want to take things
as they come."

348
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,520
- Your dream is to become
a big company. - We want to be big.

349
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,440
- Is that the thing?
- Yes.

350
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,560
- Jayesh and Dhaval, yours is
an early-stage company. - Okay, sir.

351
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,840
- You must not be having answers
to many questions. - Correct!

352
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,000
We are yet to see

353
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,640
your journey ahead but I'm impressed
with your innocence and diligence.

354
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,360
I'll give you an offer.

355
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,360
I'll give you Rs. 30 lakhs

356
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,640
doing together.

357
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,200
Please ask others
if they want to join.

358
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,720
I'll also come.

359
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,640
Anupam, please lead on our behalf.
The five of us are in.

360
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,920
- Are all of you guys in? Alright!
- Yes!

361
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,560
Five-Shark deal!

362
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,640
Our final offer is that all five
Sharks will give you Rs. 30 lakhs

363
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,360
for 20% equity.

364
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,160
Let me tell you something.

365
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,360
People are inspired after watching
Shark Tank India. In the same way,

366
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,120
your story will ease
their business journey.

367
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,320
Every village child would aspire to
invent and build a booming business.

368
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,240
Anupam's efforts have helped you grow
your business to this level

369
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,760
and the efforts of all the Sharks
will grow it by leaps and bounds.

370
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Yes, I agree.

371
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,000
Please think about it.

372
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,800
[suspenseful music]

373
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,720
Thank you so much to all the Sharks

374
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,640
for offering us a deal. And...

375
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,760
We want all five Sharks
and the deal is closed!

376
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,200
- Hurrah!
- Well done, guys.

377
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,560
Big brother!

378
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,760
- Alright!
- Thank you so much!

379
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,440
Great job!

380
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,960
- Good one.
- Well done! Superb!

381
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,720
[dramatic music]

382
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,400
Sharks, we'll start
our introduction with a game.

383
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,800
- Alright!
- Okay?

384
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,080
You are provided with placards
of 'yes' and 'no'.

385
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760
- Yes!
- I'll ask some questions.

386
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:45,560
The condition is
that you must reply honestly

387
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,640
by holding a placard
of 'yes' or 'no'.

388
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,400
My first question is,

389
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,280
do you have a problem
falling asleep?

390
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,920
Daily!

391
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,000
Have you ever been

392
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,720
afraid of failure in life?

393
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,360
[suspenseful music]

394
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,680
Have you ever felt a heaviness
in your chest because of anxiety,

395
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,720
burnout or stress?

396
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,480
[sweeping music]

397
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,080
Do you regularly go for health
checkups and blood tests annually?

398
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,040
And the last question.

399
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,760
Have you ever undergone
a mental strength test?

400
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,600
[dramatic music]

401
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,040
You got it done!

402
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,400
Sharks, I think all of us know

403
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,000
that our country
is the most depressed country

404
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,000
in the entire world currently.

405
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,800
So we launched MindPeers.

406
00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,920
Greetings!

407
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,960
MindPeers is an AI-powered platform

408
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,920
that checks your mental strength

409
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,520
and improves it proactively.

410
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,280
We have a proprietary algorithm

411
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,720
that checks important aspects

412
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,160
of your life.

413
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,280
Like your career, financial status

414
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:22,680
and your relationships.

415
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,520
It measures all these things
and tells us how these aspects

416
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,360
are impacting our brains.

417
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,040
Then it gives a real-time score.

418
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,680
We have built in-house
neuroscience games.

419
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,160
MindPeers has 3.5 lakh users.

420
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,960
It is being used in India

421
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,520
Our ask is

422
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,680
I hope all of you will say yes.

423
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,200
Yes!
[chuckling]

424
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,000
Please brief us before giving
the details of your product.

425
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:21,560
Did you have a personal experience
that compelled you

426
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,200
to start this business?

427
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,680
I lived in Singapore for 13 years.

428
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000
I completed my graduation in 2013.

429
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,480
I worked in reputed companies

430
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,000
like Google and Microsoft
just like other engineers.

431
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,480
I did consumer branding
for the Asia-Pacific market

432
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,320
and how to run campaigns.

433
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,040
- I handled these two things in
both Google and Microsoft. - Go on.

434
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,800
I worked with them till early 2017.

435
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,680
Back then
the Southeast Asian industry

436
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,040
was at the cusp
of digital marketing.

437
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,280
So I decided to start
a services agency.

438
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,680
I started a company in 2017

439
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,160
called Passion Peers.

440
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,960
I was the solo founder.

441
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,480
I bootstrapped it.

442
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,000
Companies like Estee Lauder,
Marks & Spencer and Unilever.

443
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,720
We pitched to these companies

444
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,440
and we won them too.

445
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,920
Within two years,
the revenue of my first company

446
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,280
- Wow!
- Wow!

447
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:25,760
- Wow!
- But...

448
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,640
Very few people ask this question.

449
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,600
I suffered from anxiety in 2017

450
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,200
because I couldn't say no.

451
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,520
And the biggest factor

452
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,640
was that I was afraid of failure.

453
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,760
I couldn't stand failure.

454
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,360
It snowballed into panic attacks.

455
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,440
I visited therapists

456
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240
and I started studying
the science behind it.

457
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560
Around the end of 2019,

458
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,080
I got an opportunity from an agency

459
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,200
that wanted to acqui-hire
the employees of my company.

460
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,360
I was no longer responsible
for that company.

461
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,040
Did you get an exit?

462
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,000
1.1 million USD
is around Rs. 8 crores.

463
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:31,280
I was 27 years old.

464
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,640
- Wow! Amazing!
- Amazing! Well done!

465
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,320
When I was 27 years old,
I didn't have Rs. 20,000.

466
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,800
She built one venture
at the age of 27 years,

467
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,160
took an exit and started
another venture. Incredible!

468
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,480
What did you do after that?

469
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,440
I was inclined towards
this field and researched a lot.

470
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,640
I started at a basic level.

471
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,400
I appointed some therapists
on my platform

472
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,960
and provided therapy.
I started it like a marketplace.

473
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,320
I pitched it to an investor
in August and he said,

474
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,200
"it's a great idea."
MindPeers started from there.

475
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,600
Who was the angel investor?

476
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,160
The first one was Sanjay Mehta
from 100X.VC.

477
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,560
First? So did you have
a round recently?

478
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,000
No, we had a round
after that.

479
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,120
When was that?

480
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,160
After Sanjay's round,

481
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,360
we raised 1.12 crores.

482
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,560
What was the valuation?

483
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,680
- During this time...
- That explains the number.

484
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,360
That explains the number.

485
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,280
So, Sahil, do you play a role?

486
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,600
- [laughs]
- I was just about to step in.

487
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,080
So, I graduated with a B.Tech
degree in 2013, unlike her.

488
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,160
My career has been
around startups.

489
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,440
I worked for two years
on different products.

490
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,840
Music, games, etc.

491
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,440
But, whenever I would delve
deeper into a product,

492
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,400
the project would come
to an end.

493
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,920
So, that was my first nudge

494
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,760
to want to work on a product

495
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,240
and make it grow.

496
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,320
I joined Classplus after that
as a founding team member.

497
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,000
I have built a team of 17 people

498
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,360
and built the architecture
and infrastructure

499
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,280
- of Classplus from scratch.
- Wow.

500
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,600
Okay, then?

501
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,920
After that, MindPeers.

502
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,600
Then, Kanika hired you.

503
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,720
No, I was planning
to make a product

504
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,160
related to employee
wellness management.

505
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,200
That's when I met Sanjay.

506
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,000
I pitched my idea to Sanjay.

507
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,840
He introduced us.

508
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,560
He asked us to connect

509
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,440
as mental health
was a common ground.

510
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,640
Oh.

511
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,800
In July 2021, he joined us

512
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,440
officially, as the co-founder
of MindPeers.

513
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,240
Equity split?

514
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,640
- yours is an arranged partnership.
- Yes.

515
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,600
Generally, it's not very successful.

516
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,920
But you've been working
for 2-3 years. So, congratulations!

517
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,360
- I feel the same.
- Very hard to find a

518
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,560
- co-founder.
- Oh, you too?

519
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,120
Yeah, Sameer and I
didn't know each other.

520
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,680
- That's great when it happens.
- Oh!

521
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,400
It's been six years now.

522
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,240
- Wonderful.
- Wow!

523
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,160
Ready for a demo?

524
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,680
Sure.

525
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,800
Firstly, we will show you
our app.

526
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,120
As soon as you log in,

527
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,280
we ask 14 questions to the user.

528
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:17,680
These 14 questions

529
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,560
are related to various
aspects of your life.

530
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,960
The idea is not to tell someone

531
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,120
there are recommended tools
and games at the bottom.

532
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,440
There are personalized suggestions
that you must follow.

533
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,040
So that your score improves.

534
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,640
Now, the game starts.

535
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,920
You will have to collect
as many raindrops as possible.

536
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
And the plant keeps growing.

537
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,880
In the end, you are told
that worries

538
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,560
when collected

539
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,920
they grow in life.

540
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,640
Okay, got it.
You use the game

541
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,560
as the second level
of evaluation, okay?

542
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Along with that, we want
to show you one thing.

543
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,200
MindPeers Club,
our top-used feature.

544
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,000
Community.

545
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,920
- It's a support group.
- Community.

546
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,320
It's a support group but you
can vent out anonymously.

547
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,960
And we have real-time psychologists
replying to you.

548
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,200
Very nice.

549
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,680
How many psychologists do you
have on the payroll?

550
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:19,480
Six.

551
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,840
- But this service is free, right?
- No.

552
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,480
- Is this paid?
- Yes, it's paid.

553
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,080
- Okay.
- What are the charges?

554
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,160
You pay 350 rupees per month

555
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,400
In the end, as a consumer,

556
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,920
what will I achieve with this?

557
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,040
Why will I pay you 350 rupees

558
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,600
which is a price that big OTT
platforms can't charge in India.

559
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,960
Peyush, we're clear
about our target audience.

560
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,400
We are after millennials
and Gen-Z.

561
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,840
These people own a Fitbit,

562
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,960
Apple watch, air pods,

563
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,720
So where are these people?

564
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,640
- You have 3,500 subscriptions.
Right? - Yes!

565
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,880
How many people
have you tried selling to?

566
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,120
- What is your MAU?
- It's 30,000 per month.

567
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,520
I don't understand.
In the beginning, you said

568
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,400
- that you have 3.5 lakh users.
- Users!

569
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,200
Now you are saying
that there are 30,000 users

570
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,000
of which 3,500 are paid users.

571
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,400
I don't understand
which figure is the right one.

572
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,200
3.5 lakh is the total count
which is the top of the funnel.

573
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,120
- They opened the app and used it.
- Cumulative! Till date.

574
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,360
- To date?
- To date!

575
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,800
It has no relevance as of now.

576
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,240
- Right now your active
subscriptions are 3,500. - Yes.

577
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,680
So your conversion is 1%.

578
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,960
- It means nobody is paying
Rs. 350 per month. - Yes.

579
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,880
Anupam, that's because
we are exploring the B2B market

580
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,560
and 30,000 active users

581
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,080
also include
the company's employees.

582
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Is your primary model B2B,

583
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,360
B2C or mixed? What is it?

584
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,760
- Primary model is B2B.
- Okay.

585
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,600
Please tell us your revenue

586
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,560
and the split between
subscriptions and the corporate.

587
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Our revenue for October
was Rs. 16.5 lakhs.

588
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,680
Rs. 10 lakhs out of it
is from the B2C market.

589
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,440
We earned Rs. 6.5 lakhs
in the B2B market.

590
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,080
We launched ourselves
in the B2B market

591
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,600
just two months ago.

592
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,800
- I see.
- Oh!

593
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,480
Tell me something.
What is your B2B model?

594
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,080
What is it? Suppose I'm a corporate.

595
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,600
Assuming that you are selling it
to me, what are you selling me?

596
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,840
It shows what HR is using
and paying for.

597
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,320
I'm showing you the data
of our client

598
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,880
who is using our app
in his factories in Surat.

599
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,840
They have reduced.

600
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,600
The incidents were reduced in
manufacturing factories by 70%.

601
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,200
Got it.
You said that you raised funding.

602
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,520
Where did you raise it from?
And how much is it?

603
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,200
Goodwater Capital and the Venture
Catalysts invested some money.

604
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,720
There are too many investors.

605
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,280
Then why should we invest?

606
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,720
Our ask is specific

607
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,440
to each one of you. Let me start.

608
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,360
Aman, if our brand
doesn't become a household brand,

609
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,160
it would fail.

610
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,120
You know how you handled boAt

611
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,960
so we want you to help us.

612
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,040
I hope you don't get tired
until our turn comes.

613
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,800
Namita, pharma is important for us

614
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,080
in light of the data insights
we are getting.

615
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Anupam...

616
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Leave him. You may skip him.
[laughing]

617
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,240
She had to think hard
before speaking to Anupam.

618
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,200
Out of 3.5 lakh users of MindPeers,

619
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,160
60% reported issues
due to loneliness

620
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,240
and problems in their relationships.

621
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,960
- It's one of the biggest triggers.
- It is!

622
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,400
You know the business
of relationships.

623
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,800
We want to learn it from you.

624
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,760
Vineeta, to put it simply, we want

625
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,040
to connect our app
to the fitness app to tell people

626
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,280
what their mental health stats are.

627
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,160
Peyush, we have a simple demand.

628
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,080
How to scale up
in various countries quickly.

629
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,640
It's proven that you
were the marketing head.

630
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,640
[laughing]

631
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,200
I'll give you an offer.

632
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,880
Whatever you ask.
Rs. 53 lakhs for 1% equity.

633
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,840
- They do something similar.
- Yes.

634
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,480
I was one of their first customers
and an investor.

635
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,680
I think I can help you
a lot in this business.

636
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,360
Kanika, you have
an unbeatable combination.

637
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,760
I... I want to say something more.
Hold on!

638
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,080
I'm an acting chief people officer

639
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,440
at Lenskart. I head HR

640
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,360
at Lenskart for 10,000 people.

641
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,080
I'm using
all the global tools of HR.

642
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,160
Not just HRMS.
I'm using every global tool.

643
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,440
- Right? It's your call.
- His pitch is over now.

644
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,720
Kanika, let me tell you

645
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,760
the reason Vineeta and I
are an unbeatable combination.

646
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640
I have expertise in healthcare

647
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,600
and Vineeta knows
the brand building.

648
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,600
You said that it should reach
every household.

649
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Most importantly,

650
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,320
you need us because
your business model is B2B.

651
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,800
We understand that post-Covid,

652
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,480
it's required
in the B2B world urgently.

653
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,000
We can provide you
with a network in your alliances

654
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,760
of insurance, fitness and pharma.

655
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,880
I think we are
a better combination for you.

656
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:31,920
- May I ask you a question?
- Sure.

657
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,480
Why don't you give nudges

658
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:46,040
We're working on it and will
surely provide nudges in the future.

659
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,640
- Okay, Kanika.
- Are you doing this?

660
00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:49,520
- Don't waste your time.
- We're doing POC on this.

661
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,080
- Give us...
- Let me answer it for you.

662
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,280
Yes?

663
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,320
I will join the winning team.

664
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,800
Namita and Vineeta's team.

665
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,720
Your offer is done.
Let me tell you

666
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,000
that first of all, guys,
thanks for taking up this issue.

667
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,960
It's very close to my heart.

668
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,840
I have gone through it.

669
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:18,840
So, I'm happy to meet you and learn
that you've worked on this issue.

670
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,800
But in terms of the industry
and the product,

671
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,040
I believe that your app
is slightly confusing.

672
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Right now, unfortunately,
the usage

673
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,080
is somewhere between 1-3%
within companies.

674
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,480
[music playing]

675
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,680
Generally, employees won't use it
unless it's a worst-case scenario.

676
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,640
You have to think about this.

677
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:44,280
I like what you're doing but
it's a no from me.

678
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,760
Anupam is out.
You still have two offers.

679
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,360
Peyush, would you like
to join us?

680
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,800
Yes, I'll join you.

681
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,480
so take 53 lakhs at 1%
from them

682
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,280
and I will give you additional
53 lakhs for 1%.

683
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,480
We would love to have
the four of you.

684
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,840
We will accept 53 lakhs
for 1% with the three of you.

685
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,000
And 53 lakhs for 1%
with Peyush.

686
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,160
[music playing]

687
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,640
- I'm okay.
- It's a deal.

688
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,600

689
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,640
- Thank you, everyone.
- Well done!

692
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:34,520
I know that all of you
do great things

693
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,720
and work day in and day out
to fulfil your dreams.

694
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,280
The hustle and a 24/7 life
give you a high

695
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,920
but I want to introduce
all of you to my world.

696
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,920
My world is stark opposite
to your world.

697
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,240
My world isn't fast like yours.

698
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,800
You'll experience tranquillity.

699
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,720
You'll find peace here.

700
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,240
Though we don't have tall buildings,

701
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,280
you'll only see greenery

702
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,320
expanding to the horizon.

703
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,440
[dreamy music]

704
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,600
'We can't provide
the cool breeze of an AC'

'but you may experience
the joy of reading a book'

706
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,520
'under the shade of a Neem tree.'

707
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,840
Now you're making us feel jealous.

708
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,200
Wonderful!
[laughing]

709
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,360
'Instead of thin-crust pizza, '

710
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,920
'- we like to eat a buttered-up roti
made on a cook stove. - Awesome!'

711
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,480
Wow! White butter!

712
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,360
- We enjoy drinking chaas instead
of energy drinks. - Very good!

713
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,680
Amazing.

714
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,200
You and I belong
to the same country.

715
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,960
You belong to India
and I'm from Bharat.

716
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,520
Wow!

717
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,360
Today I have come here
to introduce Bharat to India.

718
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,400
[joyful music]

719
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,240
And I'm the founder of BAROSi.

720
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,560
- Wonderful.
- BAROSi is an authentic food brand.

721
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,680
All the products of BAROSi
are 100% natural.

722
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,360
They aren't adulterated or fake.

[ethereal music]

724
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,720
Our products are milk, ghee,

725
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,200
butter, oil, pickles,

726
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,080
filter coffee and other such things.

You may buy all our products

729
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,120
is to make BAROSi a part of
every Indian kitchen.

730
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:31,920
I want to make BAROSi

731
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,120
a lovable local, homegrown brand.

732
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,200
To fulfil this task,
I need your guidance

733
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,200
and Rs. 50 lakhs.

734
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,800
In return, I want to offer you

735
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,400
to every house in India.

736
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,520
- Awesome!
- Wow!

737
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,960
Tell me the meaning
of your company's name.

738
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,920
Tell me a bit about your
hometown in Uttar Pradesh.

739
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,080
Vineeta, I spent my
childhood in a traditional India.

740
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,640
The brand name
is inspired by that.

741
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,480
[music playing]

742
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,720
In my village,
during my childhood,

743
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,120
there was no electricity.

744
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,280
To prevent milk from curdling,
a 'barosi' was used.

745
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,440
I'll describe it to you.

746
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,800
We didn't have refrigerators.

747
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,640
So, we used to dig
a hole in the ground.

748
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,800
[music playing]

749
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,880
In that, we would burn
wood pieces and dung cakes,

750
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,160
place a clay pot
with the milk in it,

751
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,520
[music playing]

752
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,200
Our school was 6 km away.

753
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,680
We used to walk 12 km in all.

754
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,200
- Oh.
- Wow.

755
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,160
Every day?

756
00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:46,520
I'll tell you that story later.

757
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,840
[laughs]

758
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,960
By evening, when we would
reach home, the milk

759
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,880
would have an amazing aroma
and a thick layer of cream.

760
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:54,480
Wow!

761
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,080
My mother would offer us
a glass each.

762
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,640
We started our business
with milk,

763
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:04,440
it reminded us of that setup,
and hence BAROSi.

764
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,880
- Who designed this logo?
- Wow!

765
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,400
Did you do it?

766
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,560
I'm very surprised because we
rarely get to see such detailing.

767
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,920
Anupam, these details...
Uh, although I'm from Bharat,

768
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,720
I love my brand a lot.

769
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,840
- Very good.
- The smallest of details

770
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,160
I always scrutinise it
before taking it ahead.

771
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:27,720
We got it.

772
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,760
These dots

773
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:35,080
on B, represents Bharat
and on I, represents India.

774
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,760
Ah!

775
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,960
So, BAROSi brings these
worlds together.

776
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,920
Oh, 'B' from Bharat
and 'I' from India. Wow!

777
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,920
I felt that there was a story
behind it. Very nice!

778
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,360
So, Durlabh, you did your
schooling in Dayanatpur.

779
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,280
- Yes.
- What did you study further?

780
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,960
Were you doing something
before BAROSi happened?

781
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,000
The school in our village
was up to the 10th standard.

782
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,840
To reach high school,
we had to walk 6 km.

783
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,640
[music playing]

784
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,680
My mother promised a cycle
if I scored well in the exams.

785
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,320
[music playing]

786
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,560
I scored well and earned a cycle.

787
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,920
But I met with an accident
as soon as I got the cycle.

788
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,240
I didn't have money
to buy another cycle.

789
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,480
So, we had to walk 6 km

790
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,680
amidst fields to reach school.

791
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,520
[music playing]

792
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,560
Living in a village

793
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,560
we had one target.

794
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,040
We wanted to leave the village.

795
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,440
[music playing]

796
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,280
So, I have completed my diploma
in engineering from Delhi.

797
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,000
I got selected from the campus

798
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,040
to work in Eicher Motors Limited
where I worked for two years.

799
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,680
I worked for ten years
in Mahindra & Mahindra.

800
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,600
[music playing]

801
00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:02,840
There was a time when

802
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,560
I wanted to start something.

803
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,840
[music playing]

804
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,520
After 12 years of corporate
experience, I was certain

805
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,800
that I will build
a business in Bharat.

806
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,480
That's all I know.

807
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,400
I'm a farmer's son
and understand farming well.

808
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:27,200
We received milk fresh from
our cows in the backyard.

809
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:33,120
So, to implement this knowledge

810
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,000
I started my business in Bharat.

811
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,200
[music playing]

812
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,680
We started BAROSi to bring
Bharat and India together.

813
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,760
- This was in 2016.
- Yes, 2016.

814
00:44:58,720 --> 00:44:59,720
- Sure, sir.
- Yes.

815
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,400
From 2016 to 2022,

816
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,560
in the last four years,

817
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,040
Here are the numbers!

818
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,400
You shut everyone up.

819
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,720
And this was achieved
in a B2B model?

820
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,160
- No, B2C.
- Okay.

821
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:24,200
- What was your sale last month?
- 42 lakhs.

822
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,920
I have an important question.

823
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,840
[music playing]

824
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,280
Everyone has a story to tell.
It's about Bharat, villages,

825
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,720
what's so special?

826
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,040
and there wasn't much
growth after that.

827
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,640
Maybe because there's
a lot of competition.

828
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:52,720
The sales didn't grow much
last year because

829
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,360
we had a different
branding earlier.

830
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,640
There were gaps.

831
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,280
It took us six months.

832
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,560
The time devoted to sales

833
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,720
was redirected to branding.

834
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,760
And a boot-strapped company
doesn't have many resources, sir.

835
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,520
But this is not the answer.

836
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,200
I want to know what
is the differentiation.

837
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:12,920
Let's come back to these
questions later.

838
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:13,560
Okay.

839
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,240
First, show us the product.

840
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,320
[music playing]

841
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,840
Uh, I'll bring a few.

842
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,800
Honey, ghee,

843
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,160
Oh, besan ka laddoo, wow!
It's awesome!

844
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:40,080
- Is it made of finger millet?
- Yes.

845
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,200
Yummy.

846
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,640
Can you show us your
Instagram page?

847
00:46:58,760 --> 00:46:59,080
Yes.

848
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:00,400
This is the Instagram account.

849
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,440
How many followers do you have?

850
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,200
- 9300.
- 9313.

851
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:04,600
This is quite low.

852
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,240
And there is zero engagement.

853
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,960
Why don't you make reels that
show the milk extraction process,

854
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,200
farming, and more. That will
engage your audience.

855
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,720
9000 is really low.

856
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:18,720
You've been doing it
for four years.

857
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:19,840
We'll do that too, sir.

858
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,400
One of our investments,
Humpy A2.

859
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,200
- They came in Season 1.
- Yes.

860
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,240
- They do the same thing.
- Yes.

861
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,680
Have you evaluated the difference
between you and Humpy A2?

862
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,880
On marketplaces like Amazon,

If you search, BAROSi will be
top on the list.

865
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:41,960
What do we have to search for?

866
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,480
Cow ghee, A2 cow ghee,
pure ghee.

867
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,560
You're saying that BAROSi will be
the first listing on Amazon.

868
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,320
On Big Basket.

869
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,600
- On Big Basket.
- Okay.

870
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:51,680
Not on Amazon.

871
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,520
- It will not be on top.
- Who is on top?

[music playing]

873
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:58,960
- The first...
- Anveshan.

874
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,200
Yes, Anveshan.

875
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,560
Anveshan.

876
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,520
I'll tell you the story
of Anveshan.

877
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:05,640
You're an investor.

878
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,520
I'm an investor in Anveshan.

879
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,760
Two years ago, they used
to make 2 lakhs a month.

880
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:10,440
Yes.

881
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,160
- Last month, they earned a crore.
- Okay.

882
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:14,520
I exited in the last round.

883
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,640
I invested ten lakhs
and earned a crore

884
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:17,520
- in two years.
- Wow.

885
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,040
- Wow.
- Awesome.

886
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,120
It has a solid growth story.

887
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:23,680
- Yes.
- They don't need an investor.

888
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,560
They still have a backup.

889
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:26,920
- He is awesome.
- Yes.

890
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,560
I don't know what categories

891
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,360
- he will add up.
- When we invested in Humpy A2,

892
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,600
they used to make 5 lakhs a month.

893
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:36,400
Now, they are making
50 lakhs a month.

894
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,000
So, Humpy A2 makes 6 crores a year.

895
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,480
And they sell only
in and around Pune.

896
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,200
But they're more aggressive and
have a better marketing strategy.

897
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,160
Am I right?

898
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:48,720
- No, Sir. It's not like that.
- Why?

899
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,080
- Because...
- But their growth is more.

900
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,400
Money changes the game.

901
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:52,720
It's not about money.

902
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,280
Sir, money brings...

903
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,360
For example, Humpy A2

904
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,440
grew after appearing
on Shark Tank.

905
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,200
And the story before Shark Tank
happened is very different.

906
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,120
[music playing]

907
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,040
Durlabh, what are your
top three SKUs?

908
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,000
Milk contributes to 70% of our sales.

909
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,280
- It contributes 4%.
- I'm asking you

910
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,440
because 94%
of the contribution is made

911
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,920
- by three SKUs.
- Yes.

912
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,960
What are your total SKUs?

913
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,840
Our total SKUs are 23.

914
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,840
'BAROSi'

915
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,360
Why have you launched so many SKUs?

916
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,320
And you want to launch two more.

917
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,320
The white space had a product

918
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,640
of a Me2 category. We want
to enter that category with laddu.

919
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:54,560
Let me tell you honestly
that I loved ghee and honey

920
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,240
but laddu tastes average.

921
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,040
My advice is that
you already have so many SKUs.

922
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,000
- Please don't launch
one more category. - Exactly!

923
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:04,320
Your business runs on milk.

924
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,760
There's no margin
in the milk business.

925
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,120
Sir, we have a healthy margin.

926
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:11,880
[dramatic music]

927
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,400
What's the price of your milk?

928
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,000
- It costs Rs. 88 per litre.
- Oh!

929
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,280
[dramatic music]

930
00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:39,200
[suspenseful music]

931
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,440
The cost of acquiring a customer

932
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,200
is 10 dollars at least
which means Rs. 700 to Rs. 800.

933
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,800
If a customer buys milk for a month
regularly, they'll get accustomed.

934
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,760
And they have too many options.

935
00:50:51,720 --> 00:50:55,920
I don't think you'll get profit
if corporate expenses are added.

936
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,760
- Okay. - What is your margin now?
Are you profiting or not?

937
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,760
We have always been EBITDA positive.

938
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,720
Last year we achieved 14% EBITDA.

939
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:12,680
Why?

940
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,160
Now that we are growing,

941
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:16,720
we use our earnings
after selling milk

942
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,360
and channelise it to the growth

943
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,480
and marketing of ghee.

944
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,360
- Durlabh, I have made my decision.
- Okay.

945
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,800
Basically, I would
like to congratulate you

946
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,200
because you hail
from a village in west UP.

947
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,520
- Now you are making sales
of Rs. 5 crores per year. - Yes.

948
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,400
It's a fantastic success story.

949
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,160
As an investor, our job

950
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:46,040
- is to tell it like it is.
- Okay.

951
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,640
Right? And all of us have been
telling you the same thing,

952
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:52,560
it's a cluttered market.

953
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,800
If you don't have a differentiator,

954
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,880
it's difficult to build a brand
in this category.

955
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,040
On top of it, you want to launch
laddu in the name of white space.

956
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:09,040
If you really want to scale it up,

957
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,640
you need to work
at the ground level.

958
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:13,440
[tense music]

959
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,000
I won't be able to help you

960
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,520
- and for that reason, I'm out.
- Thank you!

961
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,040
Okay. Durlabh,
I have made my decision too.

962
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,520
Your packaging, branding

963
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,880
and storytelling are fantastic!

964
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,360
I wish you could do
the same storytelling you did here

965
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,360
through Instagram and YouTube.

966
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,400
The challenge is that
70% of your business comes from milk

967
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,400
and it's not a product business now.

968
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,040
It is no longer a brand business.

969
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,840
It has always been
a supply chain business

970
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,240
and people have already cracked it
through door-to-door delivery.

971
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,640
So you still need to crack

972
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,280
At this stage, I can't invest

973
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,240
but best of luck.

974
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:01,400
Thank you!

975
00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:06,520
I think you're a strong entrepreneur
and jovial in nature.

976
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,080
You have a positive attitude

977
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,280
and I think you'll grow
your business successfully.

978
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:13,880
Your revenue was less this year

979
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,400
as you spent 6 months in branding
but a business can't afford it.

980

[thrilling music]

981
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,560
- It should be done parallelly.
- Okay.

982
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,960
You know, you must achieve sales
along with branding.

983
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,480
You don't get such leverages
in businesses.

because I'm an investor in Humpy.

986
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:38,640
- And it would become
a direct competition. - Yes.

987

So let's meet in the market.

988

to develop my products

to get a hero product
for the white space.

If it leads BAROSi,

994
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,000
it would become
a profitable business.

- Very well said.

is accepted in a good market

1014

at the right price point,
it is called product-market fit.
