[music fades]

4
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,880
What do you say if you want to look l
an actress without spending a lot?

5
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:50,960
- Yes Madam!
- Yes Madam!

6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,760
What do you say if you want to
flaunt your new hairstyle

7
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,200
and get a thousand likes?

8
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,320
- Yes Madam!
- Yes Madam!

9
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,000
What do you say if you want a relaxin
massage after a hectic day at work?

10
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,240
- Yes Madam!
- Yes Madam!

11
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,120
What do you say
if you want a salon at home

12
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,560
with full-on services?

13
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,720
- Yes Madam!
- Yes Madam!

14
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,520
We present Yes Madam,

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,640
India's most trusted
and transparent home salon.

16
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,720
and we're from the city of Delhi.

17
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Sharks, given our busy lifestyle,

18
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,720
taking out time for the salon
is next to impossible.

19
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,040
Not to mention,
you also have to deal with

20
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,280
those untrained
service professionals

21
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,440
who use duplicate products

22
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,240
that can cause damage to your skin.

23
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,000
Or you have to visit
an expensive salon

24
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,480
where you get the feeling

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,800
that your hair is being cut
with a pair of golden scissors.

26
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,400
Here to solve all these problems

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,760
is our start-up, Yes Madam.

28
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Yes Madam is a tech-enabled platform

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800
where users can book a plethora
of beauty and spa services

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,040
like waxing, manicures,

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240
pedicures, facials and spas

32
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,240
come in a one-time use packaging

33
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,360
Not only that,
Yes Madam is the only platform

34
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760
that gives customers the freedom
to use their own products

35
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,120
and book only salon services.

36
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,920
We've empowered over 2,500 women.

37
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,480
providing both at-home
and offline presence

38
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,080
so that we can solve
all the problems

39
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,640
of this industry together,

40
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,360
and help make the lives

41
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440
of lakhs of professionals
working in this industry better.

42
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,640
So, Sharks, we are here
with a demand of Rs. 1.5 crores

43
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,160
- Yes Madam!
- Yes Madam!

44
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,320
A warm welcome to all four of you.

45
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,680
- Thank you.
- Thank you, ma'am.

46
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,840
Could you give us a quick
background of yourselves

47
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,840
as there are four of you?

48
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:35,280
- I am Mayank
and I'm from Amroha. - Nice.

49
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,200
I sailed for nine years.

50
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,200
One of my uncles visited me
after 2009.

51
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,440
He asked me how much I earned.

52
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,240
I told him
I earned Rs. 1 lakh a month.

53
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720
He asked me to go to Africa with him

54
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,320
if I wanted to make
that much money in a day.

55
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,640
I agreed.

56
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,560
I started a business there
in plastic manufacturing.

57
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Everything was going well

58
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,040
but I guess
God had other plans for me.

59
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,520
I became a victim
of an armed robbery attack there.

60
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,040
Oh my God!

61
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,560
There was an outbreak of Ebola
over there in 2014.

62
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,160
All my businesses
started making losses one by one.

63
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,840
I had taken loans from banks.

64
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,880
So, I reached out to Aditya
for support

65
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,400
and he was the one who supported me.

66
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,680
- Very good.
- Very good.

67
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320
How do you know Aditya?

68
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,760
He's my younger brother.

69
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,320
I grew up watching my brother
and father running the business

70
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,760
and that inspired me
to do something on my own.

71
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,800
My wife was taking beauty services
at home one day

72
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,880
- and she got rashes
after the service was done. - Okay.

73
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,400
We figured that the product
used during the service

74
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,480
was taken out of a big box

75
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200
which might have been refilled
or been a duplicate product.

76
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,680
That's how we had the idea

77
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,680
of providing beauty services
in monodoses.

78
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Which year was this?

79
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,920
Mayank and Aditya
are my family friends.

80
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,640
My name is Arpit.
I, too, am from Amroha.

81
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,880
I studied engineering
at IIT Kharagpur.

82
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,520
- Yes.
- Yes, I'm a co-founder.

83
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,000
- Tell us the cap table.
- Cap table, please.

84
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,640
I am the CEO
and I take care of product and tech.

85
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,560
I oversee strategy and expansion.

86
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,600
I oversee innovation and branding.

87
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,240
I oversee marketing and operations.

88
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Tell us about your products
and services.

89
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,920
Sure.

90
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,520
Vineeta, suppose you want
to get waxing done at home,

91
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,720
which happens to be
our highest-selling service,

92
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,400
- Approximately. - Yes, this is
the most affordable one you can buy.

93
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,120
Our platform has a lovely USP

94
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,480
that we split our charges

95
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,840
into product cost
and service charges.

96
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,160
it means the product
will be provided by you

97
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,440
Tell me something.

98
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,160
We all know, Urban Company.

99
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,000
What gap did you notice

100
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,360
that made you want
to make a foray into this?

101
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,680
How do you view it now?

102
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,360
India's beauty salon market size

103
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,400
- Okay.
- I'm an investor in that company.

104
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,200
What are their and your revenues
in this category?

105
00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,640
We have not raised funds.

106
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,640
- We...
- We are bootstrapped.

107
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
I had a negative mindset.

108
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,560
As a policy,

109
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,960
we don't deactivate
or block our partners.

110
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,800
We grow their business.

111
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,240
Our motive is to motivate them,

112
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,560
retrain them and help them
grow their business.

113
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,160
We have certain top-rated partners.

114
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,560
Out of 2,500 partners,
500 are gold partners

115
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,440
depending on their rating
and the jobs that they are doing.

116
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,440
It will have repeat customers.

117
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,880
The only reason we are standing here

118
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,440
is because
our customer repeat is 80%.

119
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,880
If you have 100 customers,
would 80 of them be repeats?

120
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,840
- Or 80% of the revenue is
from repeat customers? - Revenue...

121
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:54,600
- Right.
- Right.

122
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,520
This means your repeat rate is good

123
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,560
but your new customer acquisition
isn't very high at the moment.

124
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,360
92% of our users... 80% are repeats,

125
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,200
we acquire 12% organically

126
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,560
and 8% are our paid customers...

127
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:42,120
New customer acquisition is low.

128
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,560
That's because we have
a limited budget for branding.

129
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,200
To answer the question

130
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,200
of why you're more profitable
than your rivals is

131
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,040
because they're still aggressively
engaging in acquiring new customers.

132
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,440
That's where they spend
but you've slowed down on it.

133
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,720
No, we have not slowed down.
We're chasing growth as well.

134
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,200
We are continuously growing

135
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,520
but not for the sake
of the bottom line.

136
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,680
What is your plan?
How do you want to go about it?

137
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,040
I think five years from now,

138
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,480
- Yes Madam has not become
a household name. - Hmm.

139
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760
That's where we need your expertise.

140
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Do you feel

141
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,000
that you didn't do
as good a job with the branding

142
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,920
as your competitors perhaps?

143
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,440
They had Rs. 1,000 crore

144
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,960
- to spend on the branding.
- Why didn't you raise funds?

145
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,920
Sir, we tried, but people
were sceptical about...

146
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240
I can't believe
nobody would give you funding.

147
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,600
If you wanted to raise funding
with such numbers...

148
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,280
Anybody would give you funding
for a revenue of Rs. 50 crores.

149
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,960
What's the month-on-month revenue
scale-up for the last six months?

150
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,560
The moment you spend money,

151
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,560
you will go from profitability
to non-profitability.

152
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,760
No, I believe that

153
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,840
UC has spent crores of rupees

154
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,600
- and created this category already.
- Correct.

155
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,200
Now, all we need to do
is create awareness

156
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,720
to build the brand.

157
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,320
If there is a Zomato
in this business,

158
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,840
there must be a Swiggy too.

159
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Say after five years,
if you wish to run this company

160
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,400
as a family business,
because you three are related,

161
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,040
or you wish to sell out
or bring more investors.

162
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,680
You'll need to think about that too.

163
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,360
We've received
two acquisition offers so far.

164
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,440
Oh!

165
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,320
- Who from?
- Strategic...

166
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,720
- I can't tell you the name.
- Strategic.

167
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,840
I was discussing it
with my wife and brother.

168
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,120
That was when I realised

169
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,000
I needed to create this legacy.

170
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,280
Akanksha and Arpit,
this goes to you.

171
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,280
Do you align with this vision?

172
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,040
Sir, we want to expand the business.

173
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,280
In the next five years,
we'll offer an IPO.

174
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,880
So, it is not like the investors
wouldn't get an exit.

175
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,280
- When you tried to raise funds...
- Right.

176
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,600
You didn't get any.

177
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,720
Have you tried?

178
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,920
We've tried
and even gotten a term sheet.

179
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,760
Since we didn't get
the right valuation,

180
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,680
we rejected it.

181
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,160
Can I know the valuation?

182
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,640
- That was Rs. 150 crores.
- Okay.

183
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,600
And you rejected it.

184
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,960
- You rejected it.
- We turned it down.

185
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,240
This is the problem.

186
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,200
Time is already ticking.

187
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,200
When there's a significant gap
in the market

188
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,920
between big and small players,

189
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,840
the funding will dry up
even further.

190
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:59,320
At this point, do you wish
to stay valuation-sensitive

191
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,320
or do you want to take some money
and go to the next level?

192
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Not because of the valuation.

193
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,960
- They couldn't bring anything more
to the table. - Wanted the money...

194
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,520
We were not sure

195
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,120
- they could become a part of our
growth story. - Personal liability.

196
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,960
One thing is bothering me.

197
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,200
Why do I get the feeling you're not
investor-friendly entrepreneurs?

198
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,520
[sombre music playing]

199
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,800
You said they didn't offer
a fair valuation.

200
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,160
You don't have any investment.

201
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,320
Your son told you not to sell it,

202
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,720
so you decided not to sell
the business for his sake.

203
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,160
You don't want to give returns
to the investors

204
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,240
when they ask for it.

205
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,120
It's your duty to repay someone
when you've taken money from them.

206
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,360
Sometimes, when people
don't get an investment,

207
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,640
they start saying things like
the valuation was not right

208
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,920
- or they didn't like it.
- Yes.

209
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,920
I don't think I'll make money
on this deal.

210
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,800
I do not think you'll be able
to give me an exit.

211
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960
An influx of incremental investment

212
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,040
will put you on the same treadmill
as your competitors.

213
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,560
I agree with Aman
to a certain extent.

214
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240
I'm not clear
whether you're investor-friendly

215
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,400
or actually want an investment
in the first place.

216
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,880
So, I am out for that reason.

I'll just...

00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Sure.

220
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,560
Hang on, please wait. I'll join you.

- Have you made all these products?
- Yes, ma'am.

We'll offer you a deal.

00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,400
Four Sharks will be coming on board.

230
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,480
That's Peyush, Vineeta,
Ritesh and me.

231
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,920
We will give you Rs. 1.5 crores

232
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,120
at 3% equity in your company.

233
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,280
Plus we will take a royalty.

234
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,040
2% of net sales

235
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480
until our Rs. 1.5 crores
is recouped.

236
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,160
You should discuss it.

Sharks, thank you so much
for the offer.

240
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,840
Rs. 50 crores valuation

241
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,600
for a business
with a profit of Rs. 30 crores

242
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,040
is way too less.

243
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,200
It's very low.

244
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Sharks, here's our counteroffer.

245
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Radhika counted herself out.

246
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,240
We have the same reasons as her.

[tense music playing]

00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,920
Can we do it at 2%?

249
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,960
How about
Rs. 1.5 crores for 2% equity

250
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,160
Why not, sir? That...

251
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,400
- On sales.
- That's on the sales.

252
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,440
- The sales... - 1% of Rs. 50 crores
is Rs. 50 lakhs.

253
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,920
It will take three years
at this rate.

254
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,920
Let's increase the royalty a bit.

- Yes.

Apart from that,

260
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,920
we will take a royalty of 2%
of the net revenue

when we've accepted the deal?

I am very excited about this deal.

- Me too.
- Super excited.

Sachin, the washroom was smelling
so bad, right?

270
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,400
Yes, I was looking for a washroom

271
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,080
and the watchman asked me to
follow the trail of odour.

272
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,600
It will take you to the washroom.

273
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Oh!

274
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,840
Really. I mean,

275
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,640
for 100 ml of urine

276
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,880
we waste this bucket full of water.

277
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,040
For this odour and dirt, we
do so much.

278
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,520
We flush water, use varied
chemical cleaners,

279
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,160
even use fragrances.

280
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,240
But the odour remains.

281
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,480
We can say that our
sanitation system

282
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,200
is on the verge of dying.

283
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,440
What do we do when death
arrives, Sharks?

284
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,320
We give CPR, right?

285
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,400

through Zerodor's products.

00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,960
Greetings, Sharks. I'm Sachin.
I'm from Mumbai.

288
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,480
Sharks, through these products
and solutions

289
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,040
we are trying to do a CRP on
our sanitation system.

290
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,080
So far, we have installed more
than 30,000

291
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,120
Zerodor Waterless Urinals.

292
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,360
or to eliminate odour?

293
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,520
It started after my
wedding actually.

294
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,800
So, I was born and raised in
a small village in Jharkhand.

295
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,000
Mud house, full greenery,

296
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,280
a beautiful river,

297
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,080
it had such things but no toilets.

298
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,640
So, when I got married in 2010.

299
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,600
I told my wife

300
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,160
that I'll take her to my village,
that it's beautiful.

301
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:06,400
The first question she asked
is if there's a toilet.

302
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,360
And on hearing my answer,
she refused.

303
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,360
She said that she won't go
if there's no toilet.

304
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,160
When I reached there alone,

305
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,240
the beautiful memories of childhood

306
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,800
where toilets never existed

307
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,240
suddenly changed.

308
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,280
The river was different now.

309
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:22,280
There were toilets at home but
people didn't use it.

310
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,240
People had contracted infections.

311
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,480
So, they had constructed it
as a storage.

312
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,680
And then I decided

313
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,800
to quit my job and start this.

314
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,440
To do some meaningful work
on sanitation.

315
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,720
Very interesting.

316
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,240
When did you start?

317
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,360
In 2013.

318
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,480
Tell me something. What's this?
What's the product?

319
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,200
I'd like to give you a demo.

320
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,320
No, don't do that.

321
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,840
[laughing]

322
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,160
This urinal flushes around
1.5-2 litres,

323
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,920
So, after the urine passes, when
it dries up in the drain line,

324
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,640
it causes a chemical reaction

325
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,080
which releases ammonia.

326
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,920
So, ammonia is the odour
that we get.

327
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,920
And there's a mechanism inside.

328
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,080
It creates a one-way passage.

329
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,920
So, you don't need water.

330
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,320
So, you put this product
in your hand

331
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,320
- in existing urinal.
- Yes, here. In existing urinal.

332
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,400
And once you install it, it
doesn't need to be replaced.

333
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,600
You don't need to replace it.

334
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,280
How long does it last?

335
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,880
Our present installations

336
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,120
have already been working for
10-12 years.

337
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,920
In fact, before the life span of
this gets over,

338
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,800
people have to replace the pan.

339
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:22,600
Ah.

340
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,680
But many brands have
waterless urinals.

341
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,000
The products in competition
have a gel

342
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,480
which gets gradually washed away

343
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,000
because you urinate and clean

344
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,160
so you have to replace a cartridge.

345
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,320
That becomes a recurring cost
for the consumer.

346
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,560
Is there a difference in the
effectiveness?

347
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,120
Actually, we have a much
better product.

348
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,440
In terms of efficiency,

349
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:05,280
For women, there are different
kind of challenges.

350
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,600
Firstly, the posture.

351
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,640
We mostly stand and pee, right?

352
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,480
But women have 2-3
different postures.

353
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,800
We modified the mechanism

354
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,680
and designed a new pan

355
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,960
that's ergonomically comfortable

356
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,440
This is the mechanism.

357
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,880
As soon as urine passes through it,
the flap opens

358
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,240
and it closes after
the urine passes.

359
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,960
And then it blocks the odour.

360
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,320
If you have to fit it into
corporate bathrooms,

361
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,520
do you have to set it separately
as women urinals?

362
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,200
And set up a different one
for defecation.

363
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,400
- Right?
- Yes.

364
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,640
- So, double the space will be used.
- Yes.

365
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,920
Don't focus on this, focus on
your core.

366
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:50,280
Yes.

367
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,320
- Else all problems will crop up.
- This is a distraction.

368
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,040
You have made a new
innovation here.

369
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,040
What is this? The products here?

370
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,720
[music playing]

371
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,400
- Oh, there's a hand wash too.
- Yes.

372
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,360
He has everything.

373
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,200
He has everything.

374
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,880
- He has a whole market.
- Didn't make towels yet?

375
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,880
Sir, these products that you hold

376
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,280
We started work on this after 2018.

377
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,960
And we started this

378
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,160
because while working on toilets

379
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,000
we encountered two more
major problems.

380
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,360
One is cleaning,

381
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,280
and the other is the waste
produced after cleaning,

382
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,840
the final sludge deposit becomes
difficult to treat.

383
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,360
So, then we

384
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,040
decided to present a complete
end-to-end sanitation solution.

385
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,760
- You made that too.
- Yes.

386
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,480
Where is it?

387
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,800
These are bacterial cultures.

388
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,040
How much does this gadget cost
to them?

389
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,320
And how much is the cartridge for?

390
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,120
How frequently is it replaced?

391
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,360
What's the difference in costing?

392
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,160
If you install the cartridge system,

393
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,400
the costing starts from
Rs 15,000-20,000.

394
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,560
But you get a pan with it.

395
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,560
And ongoing cost?

396
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Ongoing cost is approximately
Rs 2000, 2500, or 3000. There are

397
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,080
- types of...
- Per?

398
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Per cartridge.

399
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,680
- How often do you have to replace?
- Almost monthly or bi-monthly.

400
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,520
So, about Rs 20,000 I will spend.

401
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,000
Approximately, yes.

402
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,000
And this?

403
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,080
So far, we have more than
700 clients.

404
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,160
Edelweiss is also one of
our clients.

405
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,240
- Edelweiss is your client?
- Yeah.

406
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,840
Tata Group. Then we have

407
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,680
PVR and INOX is also tying up
with us.

408
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,520
Their annual contract has been
made so it's being deployed.

409
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,120
McDonald's.

410
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,960
We have DCB Bank, DHL.

411
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,840
You gave them a one-time solution
of Rs 5000.

412
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,520
I'm assuming that commercially
people must be installing steel.

413
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,000
So, your business is over.

414
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,400
- Right? It's one-time.
- Also, often drain line cleaners,

415
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,760
and other products are also
sold as add-ons.

416
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,040
That's why you ventured into
this category.

417
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,560
Because there was no
recurring income.

418
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,200
Yes.

419
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,440
Tell us more about the market.

420
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,320
Share your sales data.

421
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,680
In ten years,

422
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,000
you built a business of
Rs 2.5 crores.

423
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Why is the business growing
so slowly?

424
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,160
There's so much cost-saving.

425
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280
Rs 5000 one-time

426
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,120
versus Rs 15,000 yearly.
Your business should grow a lot.

427
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,280
Radhika, Peyush, there are
two points here.

428
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,360
One is that when we started,

429
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,520
waterless urinal's market potential
was very low.

430
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,240
Because people lacked awareness.

431
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,920
A corporate has 500 toilets that can
generate a revenue of Rs 25-30 lakhs.

432
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
I think there must be 500 toilets
in our building.

433
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,120
You should be making Rs 25 lakhs to
Rs 1 crore revenue from each company.

434
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,400
But your total revenue is
around Rs 2 crores.

435
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,680
Something is not adding up.

436
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,440
before Covid and then the phase
of Covid

437
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,160
impacted us a lot because
of the impact on B2B.

438
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Because B2B revived slowly.

439
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,320
But their focus to invest on
sanitation sector,

440
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,920
water saving, or sustainability

441
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,120
happened pretty late.

442
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,680
In fact, it has started growing
since last year.

443
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,080
If we talk about this
year's revenue,

444
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,320
then we have made around
Rs 2.3 crores without taxes.

445
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,560
Then no matter how fast this
market grows, yet

446
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,040
the market would've been around
Rs 7000-8000 crores 5 years ago.

447
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,920
So, why didn't you grow faster?

448
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,760
We lacked the resources to
be able to deploy.

449
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,240
No, what was the resource problem?

450
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320
Was it a manufacturing bottleneck
or lack of sales?

451
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,240
Or working capital?

452
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,640
Or was it that, this increased it?

453
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,400
The products that you've launched
increased the sales.

454
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400
The cleaning solutions have
contributed a lot too.

455
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,320
What's the split?

456
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,360
You are naming big banks.

457
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,640
- I don't understand that such big--
- Business worth Rs 80 lakhs.

458
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,000
- Yes. This year.
- No, this year.

459
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,480
- This year, so far.
- In the last 6 months.

460
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:59,600
Yes, so your market share is 0.005
per cent out of Rs 16,000 crores.

461
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,800
So, it doesn't seem right. Why?

462
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,120
Something is fishy.

463
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,320
In maximum cases,

464
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,520
the philosophy of saving water

465
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,240
has not reached people yet.
The awareness--

466
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,960
Disagree. Waterless market is big

467
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,560
so it's for water saving.

468
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,200
Tell me something.

469
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,520
When you do a demo for a corporate,

470
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,120
what's your conversion rate?

471
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,080
The whole conversion is around
6-8 months.

472
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,280
How much cash do you have?

473
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,840
Cash is around Rs 80 lakhs.

474
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:05,880
No.

475
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,200
Don't you think

476
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,800
people who invested Rs 2 crores,
their time, value of money,

477
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,680
since it has reached Rs 5 crores

478
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,240
must get an exit or

479
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,440
payback.

480
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,600
- Yes, I definitely agree.
- Yes.

481
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,320
So, don't you feel that pressure
because

482
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,920
when I raise funds,

483
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,840
I hear a clock ticking.

484
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,920
We had a discussion
with the investors

485
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,400
and mutually decided that

486
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,960
let's first focus on the numbers
to achieve positive figures.

487
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,640
And then we will start
the next round of fundraising again.

488
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,680
Listen, I'm out today.

489
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,480
I still don't understand

490
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,840
what's the problem so I'm
not getting comfortable.

491
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,080
If a business
holds on Rs 2 crores

492
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,560
of an investor for seven years

493
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,200
then there's some big problem.

494
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,080
So, I wish you the best.
I'm out for today.

495
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,160
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Vineeta.

496
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,600
I'm not in love with the toilet.

497
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,440
So, I'm out. You didn't build
a big business.

498
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,960
It wasn't fun.

499
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,840
You are very distracted.

500
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,960
You have a waterless urinal.

501
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,960
You have a concept for women

502
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,160
and thirdly, the other product
segments that you have.

503
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:21,480
It's a D2C, FMCG product.
In this, Harpic,

504
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,040
I have a handwash here.

505
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,720
Who all are you competing with?

506
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,000
According to me, your winner
product is this one.

507
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,240
Waterless urinal.

508
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,560
Focus on that and make it big.

509
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,120
I'm out.

510
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,200
I think you have

511
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,920
not realized the true potential
of your business.

512
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:38,960
Pick any one.

513
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,440
And decide to make a
1000-crore business.

514
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,720
Then everybody will join you.

515
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,920
People around you.

516
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,440
But it's not finalised yet.

517
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,920
So, I'm out. The day you finalise,

518
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,280
please reach out to me. I'll
try and support.

519
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,440
- Sure.
- Thank you, Ritesh.

520
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,200
I feel that your

521
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,840
purpose and passion was great.

522
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:01,200
In the beginning, you shared

523
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,080
your story of growing up in
a village, there's a problem of

524
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,200
waterless urinals, even urinals
are a problem.

525
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,400
Government is also talking
about it.

526
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,440
Somewhere, your design has depth.

527
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,000
Somewhere, you're very distracted.

528
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,920
So, I think you need a third person.

529
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,480
A third person who can drive
the sales.

530
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:21,680
That is Peyush.

531
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,760
No, that will not be me. You will
have to hire.

532
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,320
So, I'll give you Rs 1 crore

533
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,440
but I have a condition. You have
to stop the rest.

534
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:41,320
I'm assuming it will become
Rs 2 crores.

535
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,200
We will double it in H2.

536
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,320
So, I'm considering a
revenue of Rs 2 crores.

537
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,600
My offer is Rs 1 crore for
10 per cent.

538
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,360
Thank you so much for
the offer, Peyush.

539
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,200
Can we make a small change?

540
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,880
Instead of Rs 1 crore
for 10 per cent,

541
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
can we do Rs 1.5 crores
for 10 per cent.

542
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,160
Or else, then Rs 1 crore for
6.5 per cent.

544
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Thank you so much for the offer.

545
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,480
- Thank you.
- But I don't think

546
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,080
we can accept it.

547
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,520
Okay, that's your choice.
But best of luck.

548
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,760
- Thank you so much.
- Best of luck!

549
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,720
- Keep on building and saving water.
- Thank you.

550
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,720
Thank you, Sachin and Uttam.

[music fades]

554
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,160
Sharks, breaking news just came in!

555
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:10,560
Three people disappeared
while drinking coffee.

556
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,000
Vineeta from Mumbai,
who was having Ethiopian coffee,

557
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,640
was teleported to Ethiopia
while consuming the coffee.

558
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:18,800
I landed in Ethiopia!

559
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,200
Aman, who was brewing
Brazilian coffee in Delhi,

560
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,680
was teleported to Brazil.

561
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,360
And, Radhika, who was drinking
coffee from Karnataka,

562
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,000
was teleported to Karnataka.

563
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:31,840
We have Rishabh at the scene

564
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,760
who will give us some more details.

565
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,480
That was bound to happen, Nandini.

566
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,120
They were drinking coffee from
Toffee Coffee Roasters after all!

567
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,320
This coffee is so authentic

568
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,160
that the moment you take a sip,

569
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:45,160
you'll feel you've been teleported
to the place the coffee is from.

570
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,600
Signing in on Shark Tank India,
my name is Rishabh.

571
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,160
So, our vision is
to make Toffee Coffee Roasters

572
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,080
a top speciality brand

573
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,080
I've never had coffee
in my life before.

574
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,280
So, this will be my first time.

575
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,080
Oh my God. Drink slowly, okay?

576
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,440
Which one do you recommend?

577
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,000
This is our signature flavour
Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee.

578
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,280
I drink five cups of coffee a day.

579
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:49,720
Thank you.

580
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,360
Let me help you.

581
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,680
Tear off the packaging

582
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,960
and take out the sachet.

583
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:58,760
Smells good!

584
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,320
Tear the sachet in this manner.

585
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,200
How many minutes does this need
to be brewed for? One or two?

586
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,680
Two to three minutes at the most.

587
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:21,280
- Thank you.
- The coffee is good.

588
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,400
Coming from you... [chuckles]

589
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,960
- The master chef!
- Biggest... Yes, thank you.

590
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,960
You made me drink
my first cup of coffee.

591
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,200
Well done. It has a chocolatey...

592
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,280
- Yes. Mysore...
- Mysore Nuggets is a dark roast.

593
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,360
- It's a dark roast.
- It tastes chocolatey and nutty.

594
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,560
How big is the coffee market?

595
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,240
The Indian coffee market

596
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,760
Followed by new-age coffee brands.

597
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,160
70% of the at-home coffee market
is captured by traditional brands

598
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,040
Almost 90 to 95%?

599
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:13,960
In today's date,

600
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,600
90% of the at-home coffee
is instant coffee.

601
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,560
- is the flavours, right?
- Correct.

602
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,920
They come up with 50 different types
of instant flavours.

603
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,320
This is also instant coffee.

604
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,160
- This is...
- This is instant coffee.

605
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:32,720
This is not instant, this is Bru.

606
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,960
We have a range
of speciality instant coffees

607
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,000
which is India's first
speciality instant coffee brand

608
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,240
where whilst declaring the origin,

609
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:41,680
we've procured high-grade beans...

610
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:42,800
- I agree.
- Yes.

611
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,000
Then why are you doing this?

612
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,520
All your SKUs are the same.

613
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,480
First off, our focus
is on speciality coffee

614
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,320
that is majorly grounded.

615
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,680
We believe the easy-brew sachets
are really picking up

616
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,080
because people are transitioning.

617
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,920
- You wish to upgrade.
- They wish to do both.

618
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,120
Exactly, we want to upgrade...

619
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,600
The at-home speciality coffee market
will be less than Rs. 1,000 crores.

620
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:18,040
Tell us your numbers.

621
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,280
We shifted our base to Bengaluru
as majority of the coffee is there.

622
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,200
We could optimise our supply chain
by doing so.

623
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:32,960
- No.
- It isn't.

624
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,600
The funds we received were in July.

625
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,640
If you look at
our quarterly revenue,

626
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:38,560
it is growing.

627
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,240
Overall, we'll have a profitability
of Rs. 60 lakhs.

628
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:57,680
- 60 to 70...
- At Rs. 6 crores sales?

629
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:58,560
Yes.

630
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,000
What if your sales
are just Rs. 4 or 5 crores?

631
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:05,640
We will close at breakeven.

632
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,120
Where do your main sales come from?

633
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,120
Instamart and BigBasket.

634
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,720
What's your pricing like?

635
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Starting from Rs. 450...

636
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:44,280
This one comes to around
Rs. 45 to 50 per sachet.

637
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,800
The one I buy which is
Blue Tokai or Third Wave

638
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,200
generally costs me Rs. 25 to 30
after a discount.

639
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,720
I buy Nescafé
and a sachet costs Rs. 2.

640
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:57,080
Secondly, you get
a 100-gram jar of Bru

641
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,520
for the same price
as you charge for 50 grams.

642
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,240
[sombre hearted music playing]

643
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:02,800
- Tell me something.
- Yes.

644
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,640
In such a competitive market,

645
00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:06,840
where people have
raised good funds too...

646
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,400
- You've got a total funding
of Rs. 1 crore. - Correct.

647
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:11,480
Why will you win?

648
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,200
We're in
the speciality coffee space.

649
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,200
Anybody can do that.
I can also do what you're doing.

650
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,040
- Correct, so...
- Why will you win?

651
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,000
Correct. So, they say
we celebrate Indian farmers

652
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,040
versus we say the world of coffee...

653
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,600
They won't say it from tomorrow.

654
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,880
- They'll stop if you don't like it.
- You can't change your vision

655
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,000
- overnight...
- You cannot change it.

656
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,760
No, companies can do anything.

657
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:33,680
Why will you win?

658
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,240
- Firstly, for
our product differentiation. - Okay.

659
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,360
Which I don't think
is a long-term sustainable...

660
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,240
We... - Because everybody
can do everything.

661
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,240
I... - You can't sue them
for copying you.

662
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,720
You cannot do this.

663
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,680
We have
a unique product differentiation

664
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,120
which we have started,

665
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,400
and we can build it too.

666
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,920
What makes you stand out and
only you can build the business?

667

[tense music playing]

668
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:55,560
Do you have a team
apart from you both?

669
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,880
We have a team but not a core team.

670
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,080
We're the main team.

671
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,440
How much revenue can you make
three years from now?

672
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,560
This is just the tip of the iceberg.

673
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,280
How much profit will you make?

674
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,480
Our gross margin is 70% of the MRP.

675
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,960
Tell us your margin
on the net figures.

676
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,280
We have about Rs. 2.5 to 3 lakhs
in the bank right now.

677
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,280
[tense music playing]

678
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,840
- No, it's not like that.
- No, we have receivables too.

679
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,040
When that happens,
they don't clear the receivables.

680
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:02,800
- Correct.
- They wait for the stock to sell.

681
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,520
- If you receive it, that's great.
- Correct.

682
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:05,600
What if you don't?

683
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,520
The first thing is, we deliver
really small lots to retailers

684
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,840
as it's freshly roasted coffee.

685
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,800
Isn't your approach
too hand-to-mouth?

686
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,760
We spent some money
on building the facility too.

687
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,280
Secondly, we were doing
Rs. 25 lakhs monthly.

688
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:18,760
No, Rs. 25 lakhs quarterly.

689
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,960
Now, we're at Rs. 1 crore a quarter.

690
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,120
I think we have grown that way
in the last year.

691
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:26,400
Rishabh and Nandini,

692
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,800
I have been in that situation
many times

693
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,240
where it's hand to mouth
and down to the wire.

694
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:35,600
At a revenue
of Rs. 15 to 16 lakhs also,

695
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:37,680
I'd set Rs. 30 lakhs aside
as shutdown money

696
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,560
to pay off the final salaries

697
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,160
and the vendors
because it isn't their fault.

698
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,600
My co-founders and I took
all the risks, they didn't.

699
00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:47,720
So, their dues must be kept aside.
That's one.

700
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,520
The second is, your price point,

701
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:55,080
1.5x for these and 2x for these,

702
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,280
reduces your market size
substantially.

703
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:01,280
For a new brand with no cafes,

704
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,160
commanding a premium rate
will be very difficult.

705
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,160
There's a slight confusion
in your strategy.

706
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,760
For that reason, I'm out,
but best of luck.

707
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,040
with the other players
being very well-funded.

708
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:20,960
Only for that reason, I am out,

709
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,800
but I'll surely be your consumer.

710
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,080
I wish to give you one piece
of advice although I'm out.

711
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,560
I've not heard of
one of the blends you have.

712
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,240
The Whiskey Barrel Aged blend.

713
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:51,480
Double down on it.

714
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,880
If this product is a hit,
then you add the rest.

715
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:55,800
Don't go all out right now.

716
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,080
That's my view.

717
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,920
- Thank you.
- Everyone has just one question.

718
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,600
Where does that conviction

719
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,400
that you'll outdo your competitors
come from?

720
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,880
The greatest conviction
comes from your consumers.

721
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,200
When people would call me
during the lockdown and say,

722
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,840
"Nandini, Mysore Nuggets isn't
available anywhere. Please send it."

723
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:14,560
"I will pay extra for the delivery."

724
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,480
I remember that was my thing.

725
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,480
I believe the competition exists
and that will always be the case.

726
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,640
There are coffee companies now
and there will be new ones

727
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:26,640
five and even 50 years later.

728
00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:30,320
However, my coffee will stay
even 50 years down the line

729
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,040
and that's what
I'm going to do here.

730
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,680
It is said the one who wins
the end game is a maverick,

731
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:37,920
but I say it's an entrepreneur!

732
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,560
I don't think you will shut down.

733
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,360
Your business might be slack,

734
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,800
but you will get through it
is what I believe.

735
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,760
So, I want to give you an offer.

736
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:46,960
- Whoa!
- Wow!

737
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,960
The non-coffee drinker
is making an offer!

738
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,120
Here's my offer.

739
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,560
You asked for Rs. 60 lakhs.

740
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,920
Out of Rs. 60 lakhs,
I'll give you Rs. 30 lakhs as equity

741
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,040
for 2% equity in your company.

742
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:07,120
Along with that,
I wish to give you Rs. 30 lakhs debt

743
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,680
for three years

744
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,120
The youngest billionaire offer.

745
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,560
For that reason, I'm out.

746
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,720
I think he is up rounding you.

747
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,680
So, my offer would not have matched.

748
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,160
For now, I'm out.
I think this offer is better.

749
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,040
Ritesh, could we remove
the debt component?

750
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:36,640
[intriguing music playing]

751
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,600
Look. Let's close it
at 30 + 30 lakhs,

752
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:44,280
or we'll remain friends anyway.

753
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,160
How about we increase
the equity component

754
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:48,720
and reduce the debt?

755
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:52,240
[pensive music playing]

756
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,200
Here's my proposal.

757
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,200
I will invest Rs. 35 lakhs in equity

758
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,000
at a valuation of Rs. 15 crores
for 2.33% equity,

759
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,360
and along with that,
I'll give you Rs. 25 lakhs debt

760
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,600
Ritesh, you have a deal.

761
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,360
[music fades]

762
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:42,760
Ms Vineeta Singh. Thank you, Ma'am.

763
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,920
Business and financial due diligence
is clear.

764
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,160
So, your old round or share
holder agreements.

765
00:55:57,240 --> 00:56:00,960
The agreements made with
your employees.

766
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,160
Your contracts with vendors.

767
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:06,240
All your agreement-related
documentation

768
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,000
needs to be in place because
it can pose

769
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,800
a big legal risk on the company.

770
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,400
- If it runs on the basis of verbal
agreements. - Yeah.

771
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,600
Right? So that's the first set.

772
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,360
Second is compliance.

773
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,520
So, compliance means government laws

774
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,680
around GST, TDS,

775
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,200
PF, ESIC,

776
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,200
if you're compliant with
all of them.

777
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,680
Under the Registrar of Companies,

778
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,680
your company must be registered
under that, if it's private limited,

779
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,760
if you're filing annual taxes,
