00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,600
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,280
I'm Rahul Dua, the
host of the show.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,720
This episode of Shark Tank season 2
is ready for take off.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,360
Co-presented by ACKO.

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,040
Payments partner,
Cashfree Payments.

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,640
Ideas partner, Smallcase.

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,160
Co-powered by PokerBaazi.

8
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:24,560
Money partner, Fi Money.

00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,240
Online food partner, Eatfit.

00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,760
Eyewear partner, Lenskart.

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,880
Please fasten your seat belts

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,200
and remain seated
until the show ends.

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,080
Let's go.

00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,600
[music playing]

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,920
How will you define
a successful person?

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,200
Somebody who has the power,
status and wealth, right?

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,920
To me, a successful person
is someone

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,360
who has the power of choice
and freedom.

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,000
[music playing]

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,440
But after 75 years of independence,

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,080
do women have the freedom
to wear clothes of their choice?

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,320
[music playing]

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,760
No.

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,800
Whether I wear an abaya or a sari,

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,080
modest clothes that cover my body

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,760
or revealing clothes.

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,320
It's my choice, right?

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,720
[music playing]

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,040
But does the fashion industry
have choices for all?

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,080
No.

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,000
Forget hijab options,

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,760
if we talk about office wear,

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,160
modest casual wear,

35
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,600
sports or swimwear

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,280
then there is no choice.

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,680
So, by giving the power of choice

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,600
to empower with modest clothes,
I started Forever Modest.

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,640
[music playing]

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,960
I'm from Aurangabad.

41
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,880
And I'm the founder of
Forever Modest.

42
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,520
that have succeeded in
the modest fashion industry.

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760
But, for Indians, to purchase
from that brand

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,560
falls very expensive.

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,280
[music playing]

46
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,880
My clothes are affordable,
stylish, and trendy.

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,640
And we offer a wide variety
in colours

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,600
You can buy our coats,
abaya, corsets,

49
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,640
and the other products
on our website

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Wow.

51
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,960
I want to make Forever Modest
a mainstream fashion category.

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,920
And I want to dominate it too.

53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Modest fashion doesn't cater
to any specific community.

54
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,800
It's for everybody to wear.

55
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,080
[laughs]

56
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,680
- Nice.
- Amazing.

57
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,200
Sana, welcome to the final
week of Season 2.

58
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Thank you.

59
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,360
Amazing!

60
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,360
- Is this you?
- Yes.

61
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Wow!

62
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,800
I've brought the sword too,
if you want to see it.

63
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,640
- Yes.
- Yes, of course.

64
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:27,160
Look, Sana.
We have to fund you.

65
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,280
You're holding a sword now.

66
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,280
[laughs]

67
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,400
- It's the sword of empowerment.
- Wow!

68
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,840
Well said!

69
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Prêts? Allez!

70
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Do it once.

71
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,560
On guard!

72
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,760
Oh!

73
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,440
- Oh!
- Woah!

74
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,600
- Well done!
- Thank you!

75
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,880
- Great job!
- Good!

76
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,400
How old are you?

77
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,560
I'm 23.

78
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,240
Oh my, God!

79
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,840
So do you want to keep
the sword or hold it?

80
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,160
Yeah, I'll keep it.

81
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,120
Bring it when we're
negotiating in the end.

82
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,000
[laughs]

83
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,280
Sana.

84
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,880
You were going to tell us
how you came up with this idea.

85
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,720
When I took up a sport,

86
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,720
I couldn't find sportswear easily.

87
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,400
[music playing]

88
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,200
They're usually skin-tight.

89
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:26,440
And the t-shirt length
is not comfortable too.

90
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,240
So, girls who aren't comfortable
revealing their body

91
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,680
they don't have a choice.

92
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,600
[music playing]

93
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,640
When did this thought strike you?

94
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,560
2017.

95
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,520
When did you start?

96
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,840
In 2021.

97
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,600
After I graduated as an engineer.

98
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,280
You directly started after

99
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,200
- college.
- Yes, I have always.

100
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,280
My mom is a fashion designer.

101
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,880
My journey had started.

102
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,600
How will I learn
if I don't get started?

103
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:02,920
- Oh, wow!
- Good answer!

[music playing]

105
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,200
Sana, what I really liked

106
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,960
is that you've created
modest clothes.

[music playing]

108
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,800
The colours are bright too.

109
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,480
- Yes.
- As somebody who enjoys fashion,

110
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,240
- hats off to you!
- Yes.

111
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,720
- Thank you so much.
- Do you have an Insta page?

112
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,960
How many followers do you have?

113
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,360
- 15,000+.
- Wow, not bad.

114
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,560
It's very good.

119
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,000
Got it.

120
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,840
And some models have come along

121
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,120
on whom I would like to
showcase more designs.

122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,880
- Please!
- Sure!

No!

You're from Aurangabad!

- Very nice.

Nice! What were your sales?

00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,360
Sana, what were your sales
last month?

137
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,880
4.20 lakhs.

138
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,640
So, are you alone or
do you have a team?

00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:07,760
I have a team.

My mom and a few of her
fashion designers.

141
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Few tailors.

142
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,360
We have marketing people too.

143
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,360
Sana, who is your consumer?

144
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,080
What other needs do they have?

145
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,480
Firstly, from 16 to

146
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,640
30 years of age,
we receive most of the orders.

147
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,800
The consignments that I
just mentioned

148
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,440
were foreign consignments.

149
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,320
In London and Serbia.

150
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,720
Do you want to build a brand
in India or take it abroad?

151
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,520
I want to take it abroad too.

152
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:41,400
But firstly,

153
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880
my priority is India.

154
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Out of your sales,

155
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,160
- have you received B2B orders?
- Yes.

156
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,000
What was the value of that?

157
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,240
Around 3.1.

158
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,520
B2B.

159
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,160
Yes.

160
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Your maximum revenue
is generated from exports.

161
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Yes.

162
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,320
Sana, I have a question.

163
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,280
Are there other brands
in India too?

164
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,560
There are no brands.

165
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:07,440
There are many brands abroad.

166
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:11,120
Nike also recently launched
modest sportswear.

167
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640
DKNY, Mango.

168
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,640
This looks similar to Adidas.

169
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,480
- Not your brand's.
- Design.

170
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:19,640
No!

171
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,920
No, it's from my brand.

172
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,160
These three stripe lines.

173
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,640
He's right.

174
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Okay.

175
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Be careful about this.

176
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,320
Because they hold a patent
for that design.

177
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,560
Okay.

178
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,080
It affects brand influence.

2.5 trillion dollars.

00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,760
Huh? No, not 2.5 trillion dollars.

187
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,880
- It's too much!
- Yes.

188
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
India's GDP is 3.4 trillion.

189
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,800
Modest clothing. No, I'm talking
about the worldwide market.

190
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,640
- Yet, it can't be.
- Yes.

191
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,160
[music playing]

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,720
In India,

193
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,400
how big is the market?

194
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:08,640
Where is it spread?

195
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,960
Is there a need across
the country?

196
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,240
I think there's a need
across the country because

197
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,400
so many girls love wearing
pants and loose jackets.

198
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Everyone loves that!

199
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,720
The ratio of my customers

200
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,200
from the community

201
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,760
and outside of it,
is almost the same.

202
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,720
- Okay, they're there too.
- Yes.

203
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,720
Sana, I want to make
an offer to you.

204
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,240
Wow!

205
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,320
Firstly, your story inspires me.

206
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,000
- I'm inspired by you.
- Especially...

207
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,280
Yes, both of you, ma'am.

208
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,600
Thank you. We share
a mutual love.

209
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,880
So sweet! Your expression
is running through my mind.

210
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,360
Power of choice.

211
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:46,840
[music playing]

212
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,320
The problem is that it will be
difficult to scale it.

213
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,680
Given how cluttered the market is.

214
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
So, to be very honest,

215
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,160
it will take me time to earn.

216
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,800
[music playing]

217
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,080
So, as a token and mentorship,

218
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,520
I would like to offer you 5 lakhs

219
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,320
for 5% equity.

220
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,120
[music playing]

221
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840
And the remaining 15 lakhs as debt

222
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,680
Namita has made you an offer too.

223
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,200
It's a good offer.

224
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,200
I'm out for now.

225
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,440
[music playing]

226
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,880
But, I would like to suggest that

227
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,760
sometimes, when you start

228
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,240
doing well, big brands
start noticing you.

229
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,720
That is where you can't,

230
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,720
you have to be careful
about the design,

231
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,960
trademarks they might be having.

232
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,400
[music playing]

233
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880
- But I wish you all the best.
- Thank you.

234
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,800
I have a question for you.
In your last month's revenue,

235
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,280
what was your profit?

236
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,520
It's up to 3000.

237
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,920
Which is the cheapest
and the most expensive here?

238
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,920
The green one is the cheapest.

239
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,920
We sell it for 1499.

240
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,600
what do you wish
to do with this brand?

241
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,880
My target for this year is

242
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,000
at least 50 lakhs.

243
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,200
I want to...

244
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Say it. Don't worry.
You're a go-getter.

245
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,840
I want to build
a multi-billion company.

246
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,440
- Multi-billion dollar?
- Yes.

247
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:33,880
Wow!

248
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,280
[music playing]

249
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,040
Sana, it was a pleasure
meeting you.

250
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,760
You're confident and inspirational.

251
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,200
[music playing]

252
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,520
I see India's future in you.

253
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,440
You found a white space
in the clothing category,

254
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,080
modest clothing.

255
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,840
Through you, I would like

256
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,360
to promote entrepreneurship
in India.

257
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,280
I support women entrepreneurs.

258
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,680
[music playing]

259
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,800
Half the country come
into the workforce.

260
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,200
I would certainly like
to support you.

261
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,560
We have to convert it into B2C.

262
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,560
We have to use marketplaces

263
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,080
and have a larger vision.

264
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,640
The foundation is weak now
but we'll make it strong together.

265
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,960
I would like to offer you
20 lakhs as per your ask.

266
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,520
[music playing]

267
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,200
At 20%. I've valuated
you at 1 crore.

268
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,120
Wow!

269
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,440
[music playing]

270
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,960
So, Sana, I agree with Amit.

271
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,320
- modest clothing.
- Yes.

272
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,880
It's powerful.

273
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360
But your preparation is weak.

274
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,920
[music playing]

275
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,760
I think you get distracted.

276
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,280
When you said that you want to
build it in India and abroad.

277
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,720
You started by saying that
there are many brands abroad.

278
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,440
[music playing]

279
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:56,760
We're making it for India.

280
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,400
India is a big opportunity.

281
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,880
We can't get distracted
so quickly.

282
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,680
[music playing]

283
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,880
Having said that, I can
help your brand.

284
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,120
- Wow!
- Amazing!

285
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,200
So, I don't mind joining him.

286
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,040
- If he's okay with that.
- Yeah, of course.

287
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,280
So, Amit and I offer you

288
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,280
20 lakhs as per your ask

289
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Personally, I feel

290
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720
that you must target
a particular consumer segment.

291
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,320
[suspenseful music]

292
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,920
The segment
which relates to this clothing.

293
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,480
And then you may
launch more products

294
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,120
- in that consumer segment.
- Yes.

295
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,200
Otherwise, the target market size

296
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,400
will become limiting.

297
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,000
[dramatic music]

298
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,600
You'd need a lot of guidance.

299
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,600
I think you have good offers.

300
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,560
So I want to be out for now.

301
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,120
Sana, look.

302
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,680
I'm a bit disappointed.

303
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,680
[adventurous music]

304
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,280
The fact that you fail to do
preparation for the market.

305
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,560
I'll work on it.

306
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,120
Secondly,

307
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,120
I also feel

308
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,080
that your business fundamentals
are weak.

309
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,000
Okay.

310
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,680
For instance, your positioning

311
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,600
is all over the place.

312
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,760
Clarity is of utmost importance
in the beginning.

313
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,120
Sharpness is crucial.

314
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,760
She must be
searching for her sword.

316
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Maybe it's there.

I feel that you are innocent,

diligent and goal-oriented too.

321
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,440
Now you have a mother in Namita.

322
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,760
The M-word is with you.

will join you, Mittal.

Oh, my!

326
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,480
But, Namita, if you want,

327
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,880
I think we must get rid
of the debt at this stage

328
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,000
and make it Rs. 20 lakhs
for 20% equity.

330

I have two offers.

- '- Which one are you going for?'
- Which pair

332
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,120
should I choose? I'm clueless.

333
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,480
Because I love them all!

Sana, tell us your decision!

336
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,880
My first counteroffer is...

337
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,480
What do you mean
by the first counteroffer?

338
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,000
Are you going to give
multiple counteroffers?

How much valuation do you want?

I'm okay with Rs. 20 lakhs
for 20% equity.

00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,600
of all our needs happily.

366
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,360
For instance, they happily cleaned
us up after excretion and urination.

367
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,960
But we often experience
role reversals in life.

368
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,480
When parents need help from their
children for the same activities,

369
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,560
their dignity is compromised.

370
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,920
[mellow music]

371
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,160
I witnessed such an incident

372
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,920
when I visited a hospital.

373
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,200
I saw a mobility-impaired patient

374
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,320
who wanted to use a toilet.

375
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,720
He had two daughters on either side

376
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,920
to lift him,

377
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,400
place him in the wheelchair

378
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,040
and take him to the toilet.

379
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,160
Then he was picked up
from the wheelchair

380
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,880
and seated on the commode.

381
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,920
The toughest part comes here.

382
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,640
Who would clean the patient?

383
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,400
[mellow music]

384
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,440
When one of the daughters
went inside to clean,

385
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,640
the patient started crying.

386
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,760
He said,

387
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,160
"I have become a burden
to my daughters."

388
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,280
[melancholic music]

389
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:03,920
It doesn't just happen in old age.

390
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:05,760
Anyone could become immobile.

391
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,440
A minor accident

392
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,480
can make us completely dependent.

393
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,720
[melancholic music]

394
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,720
need help to go to the toilet.

395
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Every year,
around 4% of patients die

396
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,200
while going or coming
from the toilet.

397
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Does it have a solution?

398
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Yes, of course!

399
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:40,640
[motivational music]

400
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,880
Sahayatha

401
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,640
is the support
for mobility-impaired patients.

402
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,720
Sahayatha is the world's
first wheelchair

403
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,800
Sahayatha helps

404
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,320
in reducing the
number of caretakers

405
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,280
after 5 years of research

406
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,120
is to increase the quality of life

407
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,600
of mobility-impaired patients
with the help of Sahayatha.

409
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,160
Completely immobile

410
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,960
and bedridden people

411
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,080
are helped by Sahayatha

412
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,040
to move from the bed.

[suspenseful music]

414
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Ma'am, we needn't take
the patient to the bathroom

415
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,960
because they can relieve themselves
sitting in the wheelchair.

416
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,600
- How?
- Let me show you.

417
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,040
The Sahayatha Wheelchair has a lid.

418
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Once we remove it,

419
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,400
and washes the body
after urination and defecation.

420
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,000
It's completely battery-operated.

421
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Where does it get collected?

422
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,120
Let me show you.

424
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,680
It's a 3-litre can

425
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,480
You have given attention to detail.

426
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,640
- Very smart thinking.
- Very smart!

427
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,400
You made it on your own.

428
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,760
Yes, ma'am. It's a
patented product.

429
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,920
We have filed an Indian patent,

430
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,080
design patents,

431
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,200
Those are patent pending.

432
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,360
They are at the final stage
of being granted.

00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,280
- Sruthi, right?
- Yes.

435
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,360
Welcome to Shark Tank.

436
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,440
Your product demo was amazing.

437
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,240
You said that you worked with
your dad for 5 years to make it.

438
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,560
How come you teamed up
with your dad? What's the story?

439
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,280
Actually, I'm a
biomedical engineer.

440
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,480
And, sir, my dad
is a mechanical engineer.

441
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,120
My dad

442
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,760
was a special-purpose
missionary manufacturer.

443
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,120
I always idealised him as a hero.

444
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,880
- I'm sorry because...
- No problem.

445
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,680
I lost him recently.

446
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,240
- Oh!
- I'm so sorry!

447
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,640
Uh-oh!

448
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,160
I'm really sorry
for your loss, Sruthi.

449
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,200
- I'm extremely sorry.
- That's okay, sir.

450
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,360
Deeply.

451
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,400
Especially because you worked

452
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,920
- with him to make this device.
- Do you need water?

00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,880

456
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,360
Sir, I was participating in an expo

457
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,360
and I got a call from home.

458
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,240
"Dad is unwell.
Please come home soon."

[sobbing]

460
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,640
But I couldn't reach home on time.

462
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,320

When we worked together,

466
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,200
we lost track of time.

[mellow music]

468
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,800
Sruthi, may I know
when it happened?

469
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,320
January 5th.

470
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,600
And after three days,

471
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,280
I decided to go back to the office.

472
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,520
[gloomy music]

473
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,200
I had to take over
the responsibility of my family.

474
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:12,960
After a short period of 3 months,
I decided to launch Sahayatha.

475
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,760
You are a strong woman.

00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,560

00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,480
[melancholic music]

478
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,640
Your loss is devastating.
I can feel your pain. I'm sorry.

479
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,480
Really sorry about this.

480
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:29,960
It's okay.

481
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,480
Sahayatha is available
in two variants.

482
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,600
The S100 model
has a reclining feature.

483
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,040
The S200 model is for people

484
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,120
who have some mobility.

485
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,680
How much does
an ordinary wheelchair cost?

486
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,560
The cost of an ordinary wheelchair
starts at Rs. 5,000.

487
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,640
Ma'am, normally, people buy
ordinary wheelchairs.

488
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:05,080
Then one needs to buy
a commode chair

489
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,680
for an immobile patient.

490
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,080
Moreover, they'd need
two caretakers.

491
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,680
One caretaker demands

492
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,840
Rs. 1,000 per day.

493
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,480
The yearly expenses are astounding.

494
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,720
Keeping that in mind,

495
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,400
we validated the expenses

496
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,120
bearable by the patient
during the clinical validation.

497
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,080
[suspenseful music]

498
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,200
I faced this problem first-hand
when my grandmother was ill.

499
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,680
She's no more.

500
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,160
She was immobile
during her last ten years of life.

501
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,400
I took care of her
and assisted her as you said.

502
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,280
It was too difficult for her.

503
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,120
I didn't find
such a chair back then.

504
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,760
I think it's a useful thing
as every family has elders.

505
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:52,600
Your attention to detail
is thorough.

506
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,960
Your work is laudable. You are
a fighter and a strong woman.

507
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,920
Personally, I always ask
about the sales figures.

508
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,680
Today I won't ask because your
product is just four-months-old.

509
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,760
This product is a necessity
and it is saleable.

510
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,440
We can achieve a good margin. I'll
help you with the distribution.

511
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,560
You asked Rs. 1 crore
for 10% equity.

512
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,680
I won't negotiate and give you
Rs. 1 crore for 10% equity.

513
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,520
you must withdraw a monthly salary
of Rs. 1 lakh after I invest.

514
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,480
It'll help you focus
on the product and its sales.

515
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,760
We'll build a big company together.

516
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,880
- Okay.
- Congratulations!

517
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,760
- Good one, Sruthi! Congratulations!
- Very good offer. Well deserved!

518
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,080
How are you funding
yourself right now?

519
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,320
During CSIP Fellowship,

520
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,440
The total investment
is Rs. 1.16 crores.

521
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,120
Yes, sir. In the last four months,

522
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,760
we sold nearly 12 units.

523
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,000
Ten devices were sold
to the hospitals.

524
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:13,360
The patients who go home
after using it in the hospital

525
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,720
- order from us.
- Okay.

526
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,280
Also, there are more orders
in the pipeline

527
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,320
from the state government and
also from the central government.

528
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,920
- Okay. - Sruthi, I have a few
questions related to the product.

529
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,720
- Yes, sir. - Shower wheelchairs
are available in the market.

530
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,200
We can move that wheelchair
into the bathroom

531
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,720
and park it over the pot.

532
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,280
And the patient can relieve
themselves on the pot.

533
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,760
But why do it in the room?

534
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,640
A Shower Wheelchair is used for
defecation and you may flush too.

535
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,400
But still, you need
assistance to clean up.

536
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,960
Sir, not just that.

537
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,320
Our target consumers

538
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,160
belong to the low-income
and middle-income groups.

539
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,600
They can't afford
a Shower Wheelchair.

540
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Did you assess the market size

541
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,000
of wheelchairs in India?

542
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,400
The market size for wheelchairs
is Rs. 800 crores.

543
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,760
I want to market it globally.
That's one of the reasons

544
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,200
we filed a PCT
covering 140 countries.

545
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,160
- Got it. One more question.
- Yes.

546
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,080
- You said that you have made it
for poor people. - Yes, sir.

547
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,440
But your price point is Rs. 40,000.

548
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,520
- It's a big stumbling block.
- Yes.

549
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,520
What is your opinion about it?

550
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,360
Sir, we want to follow the financial
model for this product for now.

551
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,520
We have tied up a deal
with Bajaj Finserv.

552
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,680
And in due course of time, we will
make it affordable such that,

553
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,840
it will sell at the cost of
a normal wheelchair.

554
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,560
- Okay, Sruthi.
- Yes.

555
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,640
I've made up my mind.

556
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,840
The most striking thing

557
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,680
is that you

558
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,400
have directed your pain
towards a cause.

559
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,960
[music playing]

560
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,080
Your energy got conveyed!

561
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,040
You're a combination of guts,

562
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:06,760
spark,

563
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,960
and hunger.

564
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,680
So, I would like to back you up.

565
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,240
My grandpa underwent this too.

566
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,880
- Hmm.
- But I was not so lucky

567
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,880
to be able to help him.

568
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,760
So, I might be able to make up
by joining Amit.

569
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,880
- He understands this problem
so closely. - Yeah.

570
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,280
- So, all three of us.
- Yeah.

571
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,560
We will offer you 1 crore
for exactly 10%, as you asked.

572
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,520
You're really a phenomenal
entrepreneur.

573
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,160
[music playing]

574
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,120
I won't be able to help you
much in this cause.

575
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,040
You have received the offer
that you asked for.

576
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,040
And three Sharks who

577
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,720
are equally passionate about it.

578
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,040
So, at this moment, I'll wish
you the best. I'm out.

579
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,720
- It's okay.
- But if you ever need help

580
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,320
- I'm just a call away.
- Thank you, ma'am.

581
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,640
Sruthi, you are a...

582
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,800
I always preach,
and it's written here too.

583
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,360
Hustle hard and stay humble.

584
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,800
You have both.

585
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,720
[music playing]

586
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,640
Why won't we back you up then?

587
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,720
I'm also in with these guys.
Three of them.

588
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,040
- Okay.
- Cool.

589
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,720
So, Sruthi, I understand
this industry very well.

590
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,440
I have five investments
in mobility already.

591
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,320
Okay.

592
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,520
I know this product in detail
and I even have the network.

593
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,800
Nothing sells for 50,000 rupees
in this industry.

594
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,720
But she's promising to reduce
the cost.

595
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,520
And if you wish to make
a dual-purpose wheelchair

596
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,240
then we will have to work
on the design.

597
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,000
On the aesthetic factor.

598
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,240
- Definitely, yeah.
- Right?

599
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,520
So, I would like to join

600
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,800
- Just the deal you asked for.
- The deal is done!

601
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Congratulations!

602
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,080
Thank you so much.

603
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,720
Congratulations once again
on the five-Shark deal, Sruthi.

604
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,160
Through Sahayatha,

605
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,960
how do you plan on
bettering the lives of the patients

606
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,800
and their families,

607
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,640
and making their lives
more dignified?

608
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,920
What change will you bring about?

609
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,680
The change we wish to bring

610
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,640
through Sahayatha is not just
to improve the quality of life,

611
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,240
- but also increase the lifespan
of patients. - Yes.

612
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,080
That will bring some respite
to the families of the patients.

613
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,800
- Absolutely.
- And even the patients

614
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:11,000
will see a change in terms of
living their lives independently.

615
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,640
That's a wonderful change
for the society

616
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,640
and ACKO welcomes such change.

617
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,160
We want you to write a small
and lovely message

618
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,320
on our ACKO Change Makers wall.

619
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,160
With its 24-hour
claim settlement policy

620
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,160
and excellent offerings of
zero commission and zero paperwork,

621
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,120
ACKO has changed
the world of insurance.

622
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,960
May you positively improve
and change the lives of people

623
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,280
with your hard work.

624
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,280
Wish you the very best.

[ethereal music]

627
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,520
Sharks, I want to eat
delicious pasta and noodles today

628
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,880
but all of us know
it's unhealthy for our bodies.

629
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,840
[chuckling]

630
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,160
I'm addicted to tasty
and fattening food.

631
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,400
My name is Mr. Wicked.

632
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,480
I eat only healthy food

633
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:19,240
and my name is Mr. Good.

634
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,800
[laughing]

635
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,840
We may stick to a boring diet
for just one day.

636
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,280
The real happiness lies in eating
pasta and noodles made with maida.

637
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,040
[laughing]

638
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,040
A cheat day has
turned into a cheat week.

639
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,760
Pick salads now at least.

640
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,760
Guys, stop fighting.

641
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,080
Why can't we have
the best of both worlds?

642
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,160
Let's eat food which has
healthy ingredients of dal and rice

643
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:47,160
along with the delicious taste
of pasta and noodles.

644
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,240
It'd uplift your mood.
Presenting Wicked Gud.

646
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:55,600
Whoa!

647
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:59,360
- Greetings, Sharks! I'm
Soumalya Biswas. - I'm Bhuman Dani.

648
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,320
We replaced
the core ingredient maida

649
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,800
used in pasta and noodles

650
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,080
Our instant noodles

651
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,840
are manufactured
with SCAD technology.

652
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,160
The products of WickedGüd

653
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:04,720
will be readily available
in the grocery stores of six cities

654
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,120
by March 2023.

655
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,320
Our ask is Rs. 50 lakhs
for 1% equity.

656
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,760
[joyful music]

657
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,880
- I'm an investor in your company.
- Yes, that's right.

658
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,840
- Really? - Are you
asking them or telling them?

659
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,680
- I'm informing.
- Have you met them before?

660
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,240
- I didn't meet them because...
- But still, you invested.

661
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,320
[laughing]

662
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,920
Hold on! He wants to crack a joke.

663
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,640
I request you to laugh at his joke.
Go on.

664
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,880
So I can't be a part of this panel.

665
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,240
There could be
a conflict of interest.

666
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,080
All the best. I'll meet you later.

667
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,040
- You must have brought
some food items. - Yes.

668
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,120
- Please give me some. I'll take
them with me. - He's gluttonous.

669
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,120
[chuckling]

670
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,480
[laughing]

671
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,880
I want you to double
my money today!

672
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,960
[laughing]

673
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:23,720
By the way,
they have doubled already.

674
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,040
Are they? Very good!

675
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:27,920
[chuckling]

676
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,440
He said his money doubled. At what
valuation did Aman invest money?

677
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,480
He invested in the pre-seed round at
Rs. 17 crores post-money valuation.

678
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:41,920
'Alright. We got the point.'

679
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,240
Lovely packaging.
Lovely branding.

680
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,000
Very good.

681
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,400
I've been born and brought up
in Mumbai.

682
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,960
I did mechanical engineering
from BITS Pilani.

683
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,040
I did my MBA from INSEAD.

684
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,600
I got placed in the Boston
Consulting Group in London.

685
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,640
In 2016, I returned to India

686
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,720
and I launched my first startup.

687
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,840
It was in premium
tea and coffee space.

688
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,160
- 18 crores ARR.
- Great!

689
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,320
- And you're the CEO.
- Yes.

690
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,120
To launch this time,

691
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:26,040
we wanted to start with
a slightly wider audience.

692
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,080
Like, noodles.
Good point.

693
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,920
within 5 years then

694
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,760
I will need a great team.

695
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,040
So, I met Monish through
a common friend.

696
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,920
And Somalya on Linkedin.

697
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,080
I completed my BBA with
specialisation in IT.

698
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,000
I did MBA in marketing and PR.

699
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,320
After that, I joined Hindustan
Times as a management trainee.

700
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,280
I worked there for 4.5 years.

701
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,320
By the time I left, I was
the key accounts lead.

702
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,280
HUL, Mondelez,

703
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,760
Parle, I got the opportunity
to work with such

704
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,560
legendary companies.

705
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,120
Then what did he do?

706
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,760
[laughs]

707
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,920
Engineering, MBA, work experience.

708
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,840
I'm a literature student.

709
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,280
Storytelling flows in my blood.

710
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,400
I've done masters
in consumer behaviour.

711
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,080
Well done!

712
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,440
I've launched Volkswagen in India.

713
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,600
Between 2009 and 2011.

714
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,480
You have strong sales and marketing
pillars in your team.

715
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,600
Who is interested
in food technology?

716
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,120
- There are three more advisors.
- Good.

717
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,640
They help us with R&D initiatives.

718
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,760
You used a term at the start
of your pitch,

719
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,120
- SCAD technology noodles.
- Yes.

720
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Tell me more about it.

721
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,960
- Really?
- Yeah.

722
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,560
There might be one or two
companies

723
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,080
in the startup space,
working on this.

724
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,160
But if you compare our pricing
with theirs,

725
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,440
we are very economically priced.

726
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,280
In comparison with Maggi,
the dominant player,

727
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:56,800
We started with pasta and launched
noodle 3 months ago.

728
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,920
Within 3 months, we've sold
more than 50,000 noodle packets.

729
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,720
What is your monthly growth?

730
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,680
Shall we understand the unit
of economics

731
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,400
to understand if there is
profit being made?

732
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,600
Around 50 lakhs EBITDA negative.

733
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,680
- Per month?
- Per month.

734
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,960
- And sales worth 35 lakhs.
- Correct.

735
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,280
Oh my!

736
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,840
What are you doing?

737
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,520
You must've raised a lot of funds
in Aman's round.

738
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,000
We raised 13.25 crores.

739
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,160
He has raised so much.

740
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,920
This market is very cluttered.

741
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,160
As an investor, I don't see
a path to profitability.

742
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,480
And for that reason, I'm out.
But delicious pasta.

743
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,640
I have a quick question.
Around you,

744
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,040
do you notice what's going on
for the last 2-3 months?

745
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,360
- Particularly, food.
- Absolutely.

746
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,120
Companies are not able
to raise funds.

747
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:38,720
Correct.

748
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,680
- Companies are shutting down.
- Correct.

749
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,760
Because there is no proposition.

750
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,480
You all are extremely smart
and very qualified.

751
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,040
So, I can understand that
until 2-3 months ago,

752
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,640
you were following a growth model.

753
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:56,160
- Because the market was supporting i
and funding you. - Correct.

754
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,440
But since 2-3 months,

755
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,480
why didn't you pivot it

756
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,520
and steer it towards
profitability?

757
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:04,840
[music playing]

758
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,840
Look, all that's happening
around us,

759
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,280
an entrepreneur must adapt
and respond to it.

760
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,240
- Correct.
- That demonstrates agility.

761
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,800
I find the road ahead
very difficult.

762
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,760
[music playing]

763
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,440
I don't think I can join
hands with you yet.

764
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,200
So, I'm out.
Good luck to you.

765
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,160
Thank you.

766
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,360
You said that you want to build

767
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,120
a 10,000-crore brand.

768
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,200
I think the fundamental motivation

769
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:33,440
is the faltering point.

770
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,160
You're chasing the money

771
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:40,000
like people who want to become
a unicorn.

772
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,240
[music playing]

773
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,440
If it isn't your motive then
never say that again.

774
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:45,960
It's not my goal.

775
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,200
But you've said it. So, I've
to take that.

776
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,080
- So, I'm out for that.
- Of course.

777
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,680
- Okay.
- I want to be out too.

778
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,440
I think the valuation

779
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,200
is way off the tangent.

780
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,640
So, I won't be able to make
a deal now.

781
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,360
For that, I'm out.

782
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:05,880
Okay.

783
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,480
You have raised so much
funds quickly.

784
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,040
So you've stopped innovating.

785
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,880
[music playing]

786
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,880
You're spending 200 rupees
on marketing per order,

787
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,960
it turned me off right there.

788
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,160
Reset your business.
Don't run it this way.

789
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,640
Your company will shut down
if this continues.

790
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:29,840
[music playing]

791
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,200
I want to be out now.

792
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,920
I'm not able to align with you.

793
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,360
Spend time with Aman.

794
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,120
I hear Aman.

795
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:44,080
I hear his footsteps.

796
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,520
Where was the energy?

797
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,800
If I heard your pitch
as an investor

798
00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:57,360
then I wouldn't invest too.

799
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,440
[music playing]

800
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,320
As Peyush said, why are you
chasing investments?

801
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,160
Grow this.

802
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,520
They said that the food was tasty.

803
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,440
- Leverage that.
- Correct.

804
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,440
- Thank you.
- Perfect, thank you.

805
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,720
You doubled my money.
Let's make it four times.

806
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,880
- Okay, thank you.
- Thank you, everyone!

807
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,080
- See you!
- Thank you.

808
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,960
But, Aman, they should've been
agile in the last 2-3 months.

809
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,120
You should tell them.

810
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,120
I should help them more.

811
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:29,840
Team WickedGüd.

812
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,240
You've introduced such healthy
alternative to pasta and noodle.

813
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,520
other customers will also
buy from your website.

814
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,120
Your increasing online transactions

815
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,680

- Congratulations!
- Thank you.

820
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,440
India's high-growth startups
have accepted Cashfree

00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,560
I'm from Delhi. I'm a publisher
of a publishing startup.

828
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,560
I know that the world
of founders is scary.

[scoffs]

830
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,560
All of India's founders

831
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,440
if they find a mentor,

832
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,800
a mentor who is so sharp

833
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,800
that can inspire the nation.

834
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,120
Now, where will we find
this mentor?

835
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,680
Sharks, I want to make
my pitch to you.

836
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,960
The Ultimate Book
for the Indian Founder.

837
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:07,880
Wow!

838
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,320
The name of this book

839
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,920
is called the Shark Tank India's

840
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,480
Guide to Launching a Startup.

841
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,360
- Wow!
- It will feature all of you.

842
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,080
Incredible!

843
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,640
Let's see the cover.

845
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,800
Wow!

846
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:34,520
Now, may I invite you

847
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,000
to come and please sign
on this beautiful cover.

848
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,560
Alright.

849
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:44,360
This book will include everything.

850
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,840
There will be tips, strategies,

851
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,400
and many more stories.

852
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,280
And the idea is that an
entrepreneur can read it

853
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,960
and get reassured

854
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,920
that they can be great too
like the Sharks on this page.

Look what I got for you!

859
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:34,600
What is this, Dad?

860
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,320
It's such a boring, regular
office bag.

861
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,160
But what do I do?

862
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,520
Only such bags are available
in the market.

[music playing]

864
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,320
Sharks, this is the problem.

865
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,960
Bags are an important part
of our styling and attire.

866
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,560
But in the market,
you find dull black

867
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,480
or brown leather bags.

868
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,920
If I want to buy something
unique and colourful,

869
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,600
then there are expensive
designer bags

870
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,120
that burns your pocket.

871
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,800
Whether it's for makeup
or sanitary products,

872
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,720
keys or cash,
bags are a woman's lifeline.

873
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,400
In the category of bags,

874
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,080
why doesn't anybody introduce
trendy, colourful bags?

875
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,600
Don't worry. Maisha is here.

876

00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,760
Maisha is a
lifestyle accessory brand.

878

our bags will give you a bold
and beautiful style statement.

879
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,120
These bags are made with
eco-friendly materials

880
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,560
like cotton slug, jacquard,

881
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:02,160
Yeah!

882
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,640
But in Maisha, we gave
it a fashionable twist

883
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:07,400
by making bags out of this.

884
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:10,480
Also, you will see pouches,

885
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,200
duffel bags,

886
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,600
and a wide variety of products.

We have more than 25,000 customers.

889
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,960
Generally, traditional businesses

890
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,320
are handed over from generation
to generation by parents.

891
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,080
But I've taken a new-age approach

892
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,400
and joined my daughter's business.

893
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:00,920
- Woah!
- Wow!

894
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,440
- Very nice!
- We built this together.

895
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:04,880
A powerful, new-age brand.

896
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,000
Our vision is

897
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,920
to be a part of every
lady's wardrobe

898
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,560
and ensure they own at least
one Maisha bag.

899
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:17,480
We're asking for

900
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,600
- Wow, nice!
- Lovely.

901
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,800
I am curious! I have a question.

902
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:33,720
After a certain age,

903
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,640
there is a difference of opinion
between the parent and the child.

904
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:49,920
I hold my own.

905
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,800
- "- This is what I want to do."
- Very good!

906
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,720
- Nice!
- I don't usually back out.

907
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,040
- He knows you are the boss.
- Yes.

908
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:01,760
I play a big role
in their creativity.

909
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,520
[laughing]

910
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:08,320
Let me tell you about my role.

911
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,480
Vineeta and Namita will immediately
come to know what I want to say.

913
00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:14,880
[laughing]

914
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:16,560
What does it mean?

915
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:17,480
"I don't go against her."

916
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,480
"I don't dare to go against her."
Right?

917
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:21,880
Right.

918
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,240
No prizes for guessing
that Esha is the CEO.

919
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,720
[laughing]

920
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:27,760
No!

921
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,880
- My dad is the CEO.
- Okay, we didn't know it.

922
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,040
What are your responsibilities
in the company?

923
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:36,680
She's the creative head.

924
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,800
She has two main responsibilities.

925
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,520
Starting from the concept
to the pilot production,

926
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,640
she handles everything.

927
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,640
We have a strong presence
on social media.

928
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,360
Content creation on social media

929
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,400
is her responsibility.

930
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,480
I handle operations.

931
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,400
Neel handles marketing strategy.

932
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,720
- I'm assuming that you are
a bootstrapped company. - Yes!

[exhilarating music]

934
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,640
[joyful music]

935
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,200
The quality

936
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,720
and appearance of the bag are nice.

937
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,760
I have just one question.

938
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,040
The design language

939
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,320
and the aesthetic style of a brand

940
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:35,920
seem to be confusing.

941
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,840
Because some of your designs
are ethnic.

942
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,840
Some of them are modern designs.

943
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,160
There are houndstooth prints
that are currently trending.

944
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:49,160
Don't you think the designs
are confusing?

945
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:51,680
Where you might lose focus
on the consumer?

946
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,040
If you look at all our bags

947
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,520
they are made from
woven textured fabrics. Every bag!

948
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,720
But that by itself
is not a differentiator.

949
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,920
- It is not a monopoly market!
- Correct!

950
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,320
If you see a famous designer's bag,

951
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,120
you'd recognise
the brand from afar.

952
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,680
A design language
helps create branding.

953
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,320
At least I can't see
that in your product.

954
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:18,880
[sweeping music]

955
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,520
- Can we see your Insta page?
- Of course!

956
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,360
It's our Instagram page.

957
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,600
- We have around 2,40,000
followers on Instagram. - Wow!

958
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:28,800
Awesome.

959
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:32,040
What about the engagement?

960
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,400

- Very nice engagement, guys.

[happy music]

966
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,920
Your focus is the story
behind the brand.

967
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,560
Yes. That has always been...

968
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,000
- Uncle, what kind of headphones
are you using? - Sir, it's boAt's.

969
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,240
Very good.
[laughing]

00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,000
- Right answer!
- Your cheque is ready.

971
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,240
What's your monthly marketing cost?

972
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,400
Do 20% of customers come
organically without paid marketing?

973
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,040
Are they attracted
through paid marketing?

974
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,720
- No, sir. The repeat is organic.
- The repeat rate is organic.

975
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:29,800
Please tell me the cost
of your products.

976
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,280
The bag you are holding
costs Rs. 1,449.

977
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,000
Nice.

978
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,960
All the bags are in the same
price range. Right?

979
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,680
I want to know from you two.

980
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,480
Is this bag cheap or expensive?

981
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,080
- What is your view?
- It's affordable.

982
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,240
- Rs. 1,450 for this bag is good.
- It's good enough.

983
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,520
Please share your sales figures.

984
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,440
in sales from Rs. 73 lakhs
to Rs. 2.92 crores?

985
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,000
Before Covid,

986
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,080
we sold our products
only through exhibitions.

987
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,480
Post-Covid, we launched
our website by the end of 2020

988
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,840
- and we achieved sales
of Rs. 73 lakhs. - Wow!

989
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,480
- What were your sales
for the last month? - Rs. 47 lakhs.

990
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,120
What was your growth
in the last three months?

991
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,760
- Have you maintained the average
of 10% all along? - Yes, sir.

992
00:56:58,920 --> 00:56:59,760
Okay, got it.

993
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,720
How much inventory
do you have right now?

994
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,480
Our inventory is for 40 days.

995
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,400
So you are selling through
almost all your products.

996
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,080
I have made my decision.

997
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,720
I liked your family dynamics.
It's very nice.

998
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,080
The handbag market
is too cluttered.

999
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,920
I visit many exhibitions and stores

1000
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,400
for gifting items.

1001
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,760
I don't find a uniqueness
of design or a USP in your product.

1002
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,520
[tense music]

1003
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,000
I'm sorry for now but I'll be out.

1004
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,960
- Thank you!
- Thank you, Aman.

1005
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,480
Firstly, your revenue
and your profit

1006
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,440
are phenomenal in light
of your scale till now.

1007
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:14,360
But your content game
outperforms it.

1008
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,600
People follow the same old pattern
in the branding of bags.

1009
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,960
They post pictures
of an influencer carrying the bag.

1010
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,280
But you showed the story

1011
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,360
of the origin of the bag

1012
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,560
and your community
who made the bag.

1013

[sweeping music]

1014
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,320
It's unique and differentiated.

1015
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,920
I think the young generation

1016
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,400
can be attracted

1017
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,560
genuinely with the help
of such content.

1018
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,680
I have invested in a company

1019
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,720
- called Zouk. You must be aware.
- Yes.

1020
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,560
They earn
4 to 5 crore rupees per month.

1021
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,320
There can be multiple brands

1022
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,680
- but Zouk has already occupied
a pole position. - Correct!

1023
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,360
And it makes brand creation

1024
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:03,800
tougher for you.

1025
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,160
and build a bigger brand.

I want to be out for now.

1028
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,760
I think your biggest challenge
will be family dynamics.

1029
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,720
Your business earns
just 7 to 10 crore rupees now.

1030
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:33,200
To raise capital and make
your business worth Rs. 100 crores,

1031
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,120
you'll have to sort out
the equity structure and ownership.

1032
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,920
- I genuinely think, Esha, you'd
have to become the CEO. - Okay.

1033
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,520
You need to do it to raise
capital in the private markets.

1034
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,080
It's not because
he isn't capable enough

1035
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,920
but this brand belongs to you.

1036
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,040
You know, it's your baby.

1037
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,120
And eventually, you'd have to

1038
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,200
take charge of the ship

1039
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,160
to grow it in future
when it reaches a certain scale.

- I'm out today and phenomenal job.
- Thank you!

1041
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,480
I'm still not convinced

1042
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,040
about the fact

1043
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,160
that you have a democratic
decision-making process.

1044

01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,760
Why? I can't explain it. It
could be my instinct or whatever.

1047
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,880
I think it isn't equitable.

1048
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,560
And you could face
problems in future.

01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:27,640
So think about it. I'm out, guys.

is unparalleled.

when I'd join as an investor

is that it appears
to be a family business.

1061
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,520
It doesn't appear to be scaleable
and an investible enterprise.

1062
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,240
[sweeping music]

1063
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,120
But still, I want to join you

1064
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,160
because I think I can
give you mentorship

1065
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,720
- to make it an enterprise at least.
- Definitely.

1066
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,040
My offer is Rs. 75 lakhs.

1067
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:15,320
I'll give Rs. 10 lakhs for 1% equity
at a valuation of Rs. 10 crores.

1068
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,400
CEO, what's your decision?

1069
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:30,960
The new CEO will tell you.

1070
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,000
[laughing]
Amazing!

1071
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,000
That's more like it.

1072
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,160
If you said it before, you'd have
received two more offers.

1073
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,400
Amit, we'd like to accept it.

1074
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,080
- Alright, guys. All the best!
- Well done!

1075
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,960
You grew 10 times in two years.
Great job.

1076
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,320
[exhilarating music]

1077
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:13,720
Did you like the Sharks?

1078
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,360
'Vineeta,
in today's Shark Xperience, '

1079
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,760
'Hansa from Silvassa
has a question for you.'

1080
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:32,600
'I never saw you writing'

1081
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,680
'in your diary on
Shark Tank India.'

1082
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,560
'But you remember everything.'

1083
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:37,680
'How do you do it?'
