00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,680
[music playing]

2
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,280
[music playing]

3
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,800
[music playing]

4
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,440
[music playing]

5
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,720
What are you thinking, uncle?

6
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Watching Shark Tank,
I also strongly feel

7
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,080
like starting a Ghee business.

8
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Like, Vineeta did an ad
promotion with Ranveer.

9
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Similarly, I'll also find a big star

10
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,600
to do an ad promotion.

11
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,520
Uncle, these stars charge
crores of rupees for a day's work.

12
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,040
I don't have that.

13
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,560
It's okay. You still
have Creative Hatti.

14
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,720
What's that?

15
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Look, when we think of Ghee,

16
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,040
then we think of our grandma first.

17
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,760
So we make grandma
do the promotions.

18
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,840
But dear, my grandma...

19
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,200
Not your grandma, uncle.

20
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,160
Your grandma has passed away.

21
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,840
This grandma is immortal.

22
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,880
Wait, grandma!

23
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,040
So, to explain your business to
your customers, we have grandma.

24
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:45,960
Wow!

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,520
We'll even have to offer
discounts to customers.

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,320
Of course.

27
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,240
- Even for that we have grandma.
- Awesome!

28
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,320
On top of that, to wish customers

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,720
on festival days like Diwali,

30
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,200
you have grandma for that.

31
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,560
That's amazing, Shallu.

32
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,520
This grandma seems
to be an all-rounder.

33
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,480
My business is
going to be a superhit.

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Uncle, start it first.

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,000
So, sharks, Creative Hatti
provides such solutions.

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,360
Sharks, Creative Hatti is a platform

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,720
where you get

38
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Our country is very diverse.

39
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,360
We find people of
different cultures.

40
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,360
But if we go
online to search for

41
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,600
graphics, we only
find limited options.

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,160
We at Creative Hatti have
brought a solution for this.

43
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,800
The graphics from Creative
Hatti are not just for startups,

44
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,160
but are used even by

45
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,840
large companies like
Amazon, Flipkart and Paytm.

46
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,320
All of them use it.

47
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,520
Not just that, even
a lot of companies

48
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,600
on Shark Tank have
used our graphics.

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,920
And that's why on Instagram,

50
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Nisha is known as Shark Designer.

51
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,880
And today, we have a stock
of over 1 lakh characters.

52
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,000
through Creative Hatti.

53
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,640
from Panchkula, where did you meet?

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Me and Nisha have known
each other from childhood.

55
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,000
We went to school together.

56
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,200
And we met these three amazing
co-founders during graduation.

57
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,880
And we decided that

58
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,720
we'll transform this
friendship into a business.

59
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,920
We rented a small house

60
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,000
and started our business from there.

61
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,800
And you aren't married yet?

62
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,480
- Me... - I'm married.
- Who?

63
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,920
Me and Mukesh.

64
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,920
Nisha and Pawan.

65
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,280
Oh!

66
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,440
What about you, brother?

67
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,200
He's with someone else.

68
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,040
- Someone else.
- Right.

69
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,440
And now after marriage, all
of you live in the same house?

70
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,960
- Yes, we live in the same house.
- All together.

71
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Let's come to the product now.

72
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,760
What are your roles?

73
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:56,280
Who does what in the company?

74
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,360
I'm Mukesh, the CEO of the company.

75
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,160
Explain the business.

76
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,600
Sharks, this is the homepage
of our website, Creative Hatti.

77
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,920
You can download our
characters and graphic templates.

78
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:23,960
I want to show the illustrations
of some amazing persons

79
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,320
in a vector style.

80
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,040
We are the top-notch freebies.

81
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,240
[laughing]

82
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,360
So...

83
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:35,720
The heart and soul of our
business are our characters.

84
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,480
There are multiple poses.

85
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,800
For example, Anupam,

86
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,000
let's say you need a
priest for Shaadi.com.

87
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Our priest, Mr. Rameshwar,

88
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,720
I think is perfect
for your business.

89
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,240
And the price is Rs. 4000
for the entire character set?

90
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,800
- It's mine?
- Yes.

91
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,640
And if there's any
IP infringement?

92
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Understood.

93
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,280
If someone downloads your images

94
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,640
and distribute it on WhatsApp,
how will you protect that?

95
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,920
We can't stop the distribution.

96
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,600
But if there's a big
company or a corporate,

97
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160
they already understand
that if they print it...

98
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Do you have any
legal team to protect it?

99
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,640
We don't have a
legal team as of now.

100
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,960
If someone copies you,

101
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,200
then you don't send a legal notice?

102
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,640
We send them an email.

103
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,640
Mostly, either they remove it,

104
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,000
or pay for it.

105
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,360
But how do you find out?

106
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Google image search.

107
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Google, Instagram,
that's how we find out.

108
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,280
You should invest in technology

109
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,920
to detect infringement.

110
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,240
But if I want the same priest,

111
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,680
then it's not that it's
exclusively for Anupam.

112
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,520
But can I pay you more
and take it exclusively?

113
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,320
There's no exclusive model,
but an upscaling model.

114
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,760
We'll tell you to get it
custom-made from us.

115
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,520
Understood, got it.

116
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,400
But these are similar
to Shutterstock.

117
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,320
No. These are our
in-house characters.

118
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,440
Shutterstock has contributor data.

119
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,200
Plus, they have a
diverse global data.

120
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,080
No one has so much Indian data.

121
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,920
We can say, a single business model

122
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,800
but not exactly the same because
we're tapping the niche market.

123
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,880
Tell me something, does the
fundamentals of your business

124
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:42,840
As far as I understand,

125
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720
after this kind of AI development?

126
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,760
AI, like Midjourney,

127
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,160
takes data from various places in
the internet and create it for you.

128
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,480
But if no data exists,

129
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:04,640
something no one has made,

130
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,840
we even make that data.

131
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800
You can create brand new
images on Midjourney.

132
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,000
Even the ones that don't exist.

133
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,880
There's a lot available for free.

134
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,040
- No, sir..
- I mean...

135
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,800
This is our speciality, sir.

136
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,840
There's a lot available, but
you won't find these ones.

137
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,480
- How do you earn revenue?
- How do you earn revenue?

138
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,920
We have three revenue streams.

139
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,320
Our own website.

140
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,200
When did you start the company?

141
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Around 22%.

142
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,240
And how much will
you earn this year?

143
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,160
This year, we're
projecting Rs. 7 crores.

144
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,840
The expense must
mainly be on manpower?

145
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Yes, manpower.

146
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:24,040
- What's your team size?
- A team of 40, sir.

147
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,600
So, your average order value
is around Rs. 800.

148
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:27,480
Yes, ma'am.

149
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,200
It was mentioned as Rs. 4000 there.

150
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,080
Actually, we're not investing
in CAC right now.

151
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,480
- your profit is Rs 12 lakhs.
- Yes.

152
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,520
- Yes.
- So you will be in a big loss.

153
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,640
The major part is spent on
salaries now.

154
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,520
The major share goes to the team.

155
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,440
The revenue is Rs 55 lakhs.
Where's the rest?

156
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,520
We spend a bit on infrastructure.

157
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,560
What's the infrastructure?

158
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,440
Infra is basically the rent
for the office.

159
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,800
It can't be so high.

160
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,760
Will you spend Rs 15 lakhs on rent
in a place like Panchkula?

161
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,680
No, we're not spending
Rs 15 lakhs on it.

162
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,800
We have three offices.

163
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,200
Then systems, software licensing,

164
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,720
team journey expenses,

165
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,080
ChatGPT expenses.

166
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Then research, team expenses,

167
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,600
we spend Rs 5-7 lakhs on this.

168
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,920
That makes it Rs 30 lakhs.

169
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,400
- We have to get to Rs 40 lakhs.
- Yes.

170
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,600
Have you deducted GST or not?

171
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,080
No, we haven't deducted GST.
It's all-inclusive.

172
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Rs 10 lakhs will be GST.

173
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,480
- What's the GST in this category?
- 18 per cent.

174
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,320
As far as my understanding goes,
your business

175
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,040
is a freelancer business.

176
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Five freelancers have come together

177
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,360
and are putting this up like
a business to secure funds.

178
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800
That's not possible,
as far as I know.

179
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,560
The other threat of generative AI
that we've already discussed.

180
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,600
I think you're underestimating it.

181
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,560
It will end your business.

182
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,560
So, that's the reason, I'm out.
But I wish you all the best.

[music playing]

184
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,200
I believe that

185
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800
to really build something large

00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,760
that you're building like
Fateh Singh, Nani,

188
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,160
whatever you're creating,

189
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,080
you have to make them popular.

00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,800
they will have their page
on Instagram

192
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,680
and they have to become a brand.
Only then,

193
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,600
they will continue.

194
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Else anybody can... What you're
selling for Rs 4000,

195
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,920
any designer will copy it and sell
it for Rs 3000.

196
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,720
The customer is not looking
for Nani.

197
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,160
The customer is looking for
any Nani.

198
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160
India is so populated that

199
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,400
someone can sell your
product for cheap.

200
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,320
I think right now that journey

201
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,880
from Rs 7 crores to 50 crores,

202
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280
there seems to be team gaps

203
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,960
and approach gaps for it.

204
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,320
So, I'm out of it now.

205
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,440
Best of luck.

206
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,560
Your graphics will have
a limited use.

207
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,640
In branding or communication.

208
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,600
It can be built to become Rs 30-40
crores worth, I've no doubt.

209
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,000
But as an investor,

210
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,000
to get an exit

211
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,240
you have to reach a certain
sale point

212
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,840
which I'm not confident about
with this character.

213
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,680
And for that reason, I'm out.

214
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640
This business is

215
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,720
not so large scale from an
investment perspective.

216
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,320
It's a partly services business
with repeated custom orders.

217
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,600
If I get into the other side partly,

218
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,560
you should focus on the
product business as it's very high ma

219
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,600
Once the character is made,
the money will keep coming.

220
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,320
I'm out for that reason. But,

221
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,360
I wish you all the best. I don't
think you should raise funds.

222
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,280
You're doing very well.

223
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,640
- It's photography, so it's expensive
- Exactly. It's hard work.

224
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,360
If you make a community-driven
platform

225
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,120
where you're contributing, as we find
very few Indian images right now.

226
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,320
If you're making it community-based

227
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,120
from character to community,
then add photography.

228
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,120
That will be a better idea to scale
up the business.

229
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,680
But for now, you're profitable.

230
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,360
You just need to invest in your
technology and build

231
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,240
your community platform.

232
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,080
And you're doing amazingly
well, guys. Keep it up.

233
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Thank you.

234
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,520
Unfortunately, I'm out too.

235
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,800
But stay on it.

236
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,480
You don't need investors.
So don't get into it.

237
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,240
- Superb! Very good pitch.
- All the best.

We wish the five of you
best of luck.

What is it?

245
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,640
It's the Indian version of
Rent the Runway.

Oh my, God! Flyrobe.

This is a 10-year-old company
that died.

00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,000

Oh, very good.

255
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,040
There's a dilemma.

256
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,360
I'm here to find a solution for it.

Meet her. She's Aanchal from Delhi.

from Bengaluru.

Our company is called Candid Men.

261

And my company is called Flyrobe.

Flyrobe and Candid Men

are two great but similar
businesses.

264
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,280
So we were confused about
whose pitch to send further.

265
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,200
So we decided that

266
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,360
why not give them both
an equal chance?

267
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,400
And for you to question them.

268
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,320
After that, you will hear this.
[buzzer rings]

It means that time is up.

270
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,200
But there's a small twist.

271
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
As Sharks, you have to

272
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,240
hold your decision till the end.

273
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Until both the pitches are complete.

274
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800
Your decision of investment or no
investment, whatever it is,

275
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,520
you won't reveal it until then.

276

Whoever wins the toss will go first.

277
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,520
And regarding the investment,

278
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,840
it's your money so the decision
is yours too.

279
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,640
Shall we toss? Who's calling?

280
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,960
I'll call for tails.

You're calling for tails.

So, you have heads. If we get
heads, you will go first.

- Done.
- And if it's tails, you will. Done?

She bought this suit for
Rs 13,000.

289
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,640
The MRP of my suit is Rs 13,000 too.

290
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,160
But I got it for Rs 1500.

291
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,560
Because I've rented it.

292
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,920
She spent Rs 11,500 more than me.

293
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,400
On a suit

294
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,640
- that she might never wear again.
- Hmm.

295
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,560
Because she's an emotional buyer.

296
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,680
And I'm a logical buyer.

297
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,080
We observed this psychology of men.

298
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,160
We noticed that they want to
wear a nice variety of clothes

299
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,720
but they don't wish to spend
so much

on one-time occasion wear.

301
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,320
But everyone deserves to look
great at an event.

00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,040
So, we've brought to you,

303
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,000
for our beloved men, Candid Men.

Do you design it yourself?

- He's my brother.
- How did you start it? Okay.

311
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,040
It so happened that

312
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,400
two weddings fell in the same month

313
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,480
and I bought
three to four pairs of clothes.

314
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,480
I spent around Rs. 30,000 to 35,000.

315
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,160
It felt great when I wore it
for the first wedding.

316
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,520
When I wore the same clothes to
the other wedding after two weeks,

317
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,480
my excitement had died.

318
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,960
I also realised one thing.

319
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,000
I had spent Rs. 35,000 then,

320
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,480
but didn't wish to spend
that much again.

321
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,440
So, it occurred to me
that rentals had a good scope.

322
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,400
Interesting.

323
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,080
Please tell me your background.

324
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,520
I've done
Computer Science Engineering

325
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,760
from VIT, Vellore.

326
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,000
- My father was
into the textile business. - Okay.

327
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,920
I've seen how the textile business
functions through him.

328
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,920
Where is it based?

329
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,960
- Erode, Tamil Nadu.
- Okay.

- No, I'm not at all angry.
- Okay.

331
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,560
Like my sister, I too studied
Computer Science Engineering

332
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,640
It's not anger.

- Yes.
- Otherwise, you're outspoken.

Just not in front of your sister.
Please continue.

335
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,120
I worked for my dad's business
also for a while.

336
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,080
I was in the US
for one and a half years

337
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,280
to study for MS.

338
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,920
Is she the CEO or are you?

339
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,320
- She is.
- I am the CEO.

340
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,240
Got it.

341
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,720
I have a question
about this market.

342
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,760
When Rent the Runway,
a billion-dollar company,

343
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,000
became big 15 years ago,

344
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,800
many players tried in India
after that.

345
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,320
There's a stigma to it

346
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,400
just as there is
to repeating your clothes.

347
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,080
Similarly, there's a stigma
to wearing rented outfits as well.

348
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,320
Do you see that changing?

349
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:23,840
Ma'am, the stigma definitely exists,
but it has significantly improved.

350
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,120
Rental companies earlier

351
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,040
would treat their customers
from the angle of affordability.

352
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,200
Only the customers who don't
have money would rent clothes.

353
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,320
They had that kind of stock too
which wasn't in trend at all.

354
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,840
What's the average price range
of your outfits?

355
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:17,520
Minimum four days.

356
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,320
What's the average cost?

357
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Rs. 2,300, sir.

358
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,480
then you need to rotate
one outfit 15 to 20 times

359
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,080
- On MRP.
- On MRP.

360
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,360
- Okay. - How much
will this cost me otherwise?

361
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,160
Minimum Rs. 6,000.

362
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,200
I think a similar unbranded outfit
will cost Rs. 4,000 to 5,000.

363
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,560
If you're only going
to wear it once,

364
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,640
even then paying Rs. 1,300
is cheaper than Rs. 4,000, right?

365
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,040
Okay. This one's for Rs. 1,300.
What about the other products?

366
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:16,200
- The rental for the Jodhpuri set
is for Rs. 2,600. - Okay.

367
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,760
This one's also for Rs. 2,600.

368
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,160
This is heavy. It is for Rs. 5,500.

369
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,520
How much would it cost?

370
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,000
This will cost you
at least Rs. 35,000 in the market.

371
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Are these branded outfits?

372
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,800
- This is our... - We don't sell it
under a brand name.

373
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,240
- Not sell. Sorry. Rent.
- Sorry. Rent.

374
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,560
Do you also have a shop
or is it an online rental only?

375
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,960
we allowed customers
to try our outfits there.

376
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,360
Customers would come to the office

377
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,120
after pre-selecting the outfits
from the website.

378
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,360
The sales personnel would keep
those clothes in the trial room

379
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,480
for them to try on.

380
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,880
We wanted to see if a showroom

381
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,320
would generate business
if we opened one.

382
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,000
How much business
do the stores generate?

383
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,040
So, you're growing
with your own money.

384
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:48,240
- Have you raised funding?
- No.

385
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,000
Are you profitable
even at the company level?

386
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:56,960
- Yes.
- Yes.

387
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:57,960
Fantastic.

388
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Give us the unit economics
of your Hyderabad store.

389
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,440
Until now, the Hyderabad store...

390
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,760
- No, monthly. Last month.
- Last month.

391
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,200
Last month was Rs. 10 lakhs.

392
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,480
On average,
you rent out one product

393
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,760
- at 20% of the MRP.
- Yes.

394
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,360
So, how do you calculate COGS?

395
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,160
- The clothes that we buy...
- Yes?

396
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,520
Those designs will become obsolete
in a year

397
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,440
and we'll have to replace them
after a year.

398
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,320
So, you take the number of wears
in a year

399
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,360
and divide it
by the total purchase price

400
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,200
to arrive at per rental cost price.

401
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,400
- Is that what you do?
- Yes.

402
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,080
What's the usage of one outfit
in a year?

403
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,640
That's our EBITDA.

404
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,120
That can't be your EBITDA.

405
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:27,720
Are you making 40% EBITDA?

406
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,800
If the unit economics is done,
may I ask something?

407
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Sure, please do.

408
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,480
Has it happened
that people don't return the outfit?

409
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,960
Yes, but it's less than 1%.

410
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,440
Fraud isn't a big issue.

411
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,760
- For now. - Not a big issue
till the number is small.

412
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,280
Okay. This industry saw
a lot of competitors.

413
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,080
There was a company called Flyrobe.
Have you heard of them?

414
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,040
Yes, we have.

415
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,360
They've got funding too.

416
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,560
- Yes. - Have you heard
they weren't doing well?

417
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,680
Yet you decided to get into this.

418
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,400
What we're doing is quite different.

419
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,000
Firstly, the stores they opened
were huge.

420
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:29,120
They spent a lot of money
on the rent itself.

421
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,800
Basically, our models are different.

422
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,880
We source a lot of things in-house.

423
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,160
We have also realised that

424
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,400
men as consumers don't care
what the brand is.

425
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,120
What's your plan
three years from now?

426
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,520
How big will your business be?

427
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,040
And how? How will you achieve it?

428
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,440
How many stores would you have
when you do sales of Rs 54 crores?

429
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,320
15 to 20.

430
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,240
I think 15. 15...

431
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,240
- You said the monthly profit per
store will be Rs. 10 lakhs. - To 20.

432
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,080
So, Rs. 1.5 crores x 12
is Rs. 18 crores.

433
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,880
Your numbers don't seem clear
to me as per your strategy.

434
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,720
You're quoting big numbers,

435
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,280
but the backward math
is not in place.

436
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,320
- You'd need 40 to 50 stores, right?
- Yes.

437
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,640
- Why don't you know the math?
- Sorry.

438
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,640
The time to say sorry is over.

439
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,280
You're on Shark Tank now.

440
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,760
So, you haven't thought
about a long-term strategy.

441
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,520
You saw the business was doing well

442
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,880
- and this is how it can be grown.
- Grow. Yes.

443
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,200
How much money
goes into building one store?

444
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,200
- Around Rs. 60 lakhs.
- Rs. 60 lakhs.

445
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,800
- Rs. 60 lakhs!
- To make 40 stores,

446
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,840
you'll need at least
Rs. 25 to 30 crores.

447
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,720
Yes.

448
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:49,600
What do you think

449
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,120
your biggest strength
will be going forward?

450
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,800
- Definitely, thank you.
- Thank you.

451
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,280
- All right.
- Thank you so much.

Sharks, do you see this 'lehenga'?

456
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,680
After one picture of it
on Instagram,

457
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,600
the 'lehenga' was no more.

458
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,920
We wish to wear something new
and designer on every occasion.

- I'm a lawyer by profession.
- Wow.

470
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,600
I worked as a lawyer in Delhi
for seven years.

471
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,600
I didn't see that.

472
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,880
I did not found Flyrobe.

473
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,040
I founded Rent It Bae
with my partners.

474
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,520
We acquired Flyrobe,

475
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,440
which was the largest player
in this space.

476
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,680
We knew we wanted to make
a tech-enabled business.

477
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:09,880
We started online sales ourselves.

478
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,680
We opened
our first store ourselves too.

479
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,720

- So...

481

They had raised funds
from big-scale investors.

482
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,160
- Yes, exactly. - How much
did you raise in 2018?

483
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,400
We raised a Rs. 1.5 crore round
at the time.

484
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,440
the CAC in western wear
was not reducing.

485
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,800
- Logically, not many people
wear western wear daily. - Yes.

486
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,920
So, they changed the product
to ethnic wear.

487
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,880
Now ethnic wear
was to be rented out online.

488
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,680
They realised
it was important to open stores.

00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,160
This was a slump sale.

- 2020.
- March 2020.

- Covid struck after a week.
- Ouch! Right.

We were trying to scale

but that completely tanked.

496
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,160
We'd have constant fights
with existing investors

497
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:55,200
because our monies were due
which they refused to give us.

498
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,760
We raised our money last over here
on 1 April 2020.

499
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,000
How much was raised in total?

00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,160
- Including Rs. 1.5 crores...
- Total Rs. 8 crores. Yes.

501
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,400
Rs. 6 crores there,
so that's Rs. 7.5 crores.

- You raised that too.
- We raised Rs. 8 crores in total.

Physically, we have 7 stores
as of right now.

00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,960
So, we have 9 stores in total.

We have dual products.

In the C2C model,

30% of the rental price.

at a store? - 27% at our store.

518
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,840
- Yes.
- Okay, thank you.

519
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,360
What was the sales figure
for this year?

520
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,200
Over the course of
the next five months,

521
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,880
- we will make 60% of our revenue.
- How much will you make?

522
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,280
How much profit will you earn
from Rs. 7 crores?

523
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,960
Rs. 7 crores will be our GMV.

524
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,560
We will earn a profit of 15%.

525
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,680
if you have taken our franchise,

526
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,680
we will provide you with
20% luxury stock of your store,

527
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,800
- They cannot do that.
- This is how a franchise works.

528
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,600
- Why?
- Because our barcodes are attached.

529
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,200
Also, we check it every day.

530
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,320
They can trade in cash.
Franchisees work their way around.

531
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,760
We had faced this issue.

532
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,600
So, there is a 0% fraud rate.

533
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,240
- Currently, the fraud rate is 0%.
- Okay.

534
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,880
Because the deterrent effect
is solid.

535
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,560
They will not get any stock from us.

536
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,560
You cannot run your store
without luxury stock.

537
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,680
Aanchal, your business
is confusing to me.

538
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,200
Because

539
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,960
the companies with around
3 stores...

540
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,000
If I look at the net revenue

541
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,920
that is recorded in the books
that investors are interested in.

542
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,720
Your net revenue with 9 stores

543
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,240
Your 7 stores generate
revenue equivalent

544
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:06,480
- to that of 2 to 2.5 stores
of another company. - 2.5 stores.

545
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,560
2.5 stores.

546
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,280
The revenue I disclosed
is the revenue of 2.5 stores.

547
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,680
- Which was last year's revenue.
- Yes!

548
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,560
- The rest of... - How much
was your last month's net revenue?

549
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,400
Until now, we have generated
Rs. 2.8 crores.

550
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,280
with approximately 3 stores, with
an average order value of 2,300.

551
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,360
If we exclusively sell men's
clothing will get the same numbers.

552
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,080
However, the women's market is vast,

553
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,760
and we cannot
disregard its potential.

554
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,160
Even funded players
struggled to keep up,

555
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:54,200
why are you doing this?
What sets you apart from others?

556
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,760
I believe this business

557
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,640
requires a shift in consumer
mindset. It will require some time.

558
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,640
When Ola and Uber
were first introduced,

559
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,800
hardly anyone used taxis
for their daily commute.

560
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,800
The mindset gradually changed.

561
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,120
Celebrities are
talking about this now.

562
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:10,040
When Sonam Kapoor mentions
in Karan Johar's show

563
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,000
that we are not crazy to
splurge on expensive clothes.

564
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:12,880
All our clothes are borrowed.

565
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,600
Sara Ali Khan walks the ramp,

566
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:17,320
shows off her dress and says
this is borrowed fashion.

567
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,040
It is also expanding the narrative
of sustainability, right?

568
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,480
The mindset is changing.

569
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:23,480
- I have a doubt.
- Okay.

570
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,680
The person who purchased
Gaurav Gupta's dress

571
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,080
worth Rs. 4.5 lakhs,

572
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,800
will that person

573
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,800
have an interest in earning
money from rentals?

574
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,160
Basically,

575
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,680
the person who owns
a Gaurav Gupta dress

576
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,480
cannot do anything about it.

577
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,560
There is no market for
used ethnic items in India.

578
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,480
But she will think about
when to wear it next.

579
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,160
It's not a wedding dress
that she won't wear again.

580
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,680
If she decides to wear it,
we will give it to her.

581
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,280
If the dress gets damaged, are you
compensating them with Rs. 4.5 lakhs?

582
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,680
We take rent and security deposit
from our customers.

583
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,760
The security deposit doesn't
cover the entire value of the dress.

584
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,320
- My heart races when you
talk so fast. - Breathless.

585
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,840
I am sorry.

586
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,800
- No, it's a good thing.
- No problem.

587
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Answer my question
and we will understand.

588
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,920
What is your customer
retention rate in C2C?

589
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:19,160
I have an approximate number.

590
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:22,160
We have received clothing from
people we reached out to last year,

591
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:24,160
and approximately
15% to 20% of them

592
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,960
- Yes! - Thank you! Love your
energy and passion. Keep going.

593
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,120
- Very nice seeing all of you.
- All the best.

594
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,000
- Thank you!
- Go, girl!

595
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,040
[theme music playing]

596
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,080
[theme music playing]

597
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:57,120
Running this business poses
significant operational challenges.

598
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,240
of scalability beyond
metropolitan areas,

599
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,000
regardless of the
obstacles encountered.

600
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,400
And for that reason, I am out.

601
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,360
Rishabh and Shweta.
Just like Namita,

602
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,640
I decided never to enter
the rental business.

603
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:38,600
There are two crucial
elements that you have

604
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,040
successfully mastered.

605
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,680
First, you mentioned that
in one year

606
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,480
you rent one piece of clothing

607
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,120
eight times on average.

608
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,160
Second, you mentioned
that your fraud rate

609
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:52,800
is less than 1%.

610
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,760
I thought that achieving
these two metrics

611
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,000
would be unattainable
for a rental business.

612
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,440
You have managed
to accomplish that,

613
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,200
which shows your strong
execution capabilities.

614
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,840
But your team needs improvement.

615
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,000
[suspenseful music playing]

616
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,480
So, I have an offer for you.

617
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,640
This is conditional upon my
verification of these two numbers.

618
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:17,760
The average unit is utilized
8 times annually.

619
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,280
And the fraud rate is less than 1%.

620
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,240
So, my offer is Rs. 60 lakhs...
That was your ask.

621
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,480
[laughing]

622
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:45,240
But this year's projection is
Rs. 6 crores in revenue.

623
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,000
He will give you a brilliant offer.

624
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,480
I will take a couple of minutes.

625
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,880
- I will go next!
- It's stressing me out.

626
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,120
I am impressed with the execution
strength shown by both of you.

627
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,800
I love such founders.

628
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,920
I didn't get clarity on
your plan of action.

629
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,480
But we can jump-start with it.

630
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,600
I have an offer for you.

631
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,720
Rs. 60 lakhs which was your ask
for 5%

632
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,360
Shweta, super impressed.
You are sharp and analytical.

633
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,560
So, congratulations.

634
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,840
I think you will make it big.

635
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,400
You will need a minimum
of Rs. 50 crores.

636
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,880
I firmly believe that

637
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,920
it is not advisable to invest in
VCs for the upcoming 2 to 4 years.

638
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,760
In order to take this risk,
as Vineeta proposed,

639
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,320
it must account for 8% to
10% of your company.

640
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:58,880
You won't accept that.

641
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,360
So, I am out.

642
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,600
I wish you all the best.

643
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,520
You hurt them.

644
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,600
Rishabh! Shweta!
Brilliant entrepreneurs.

645
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,400
Don't give 5% or 10% of equity
at this stage.

646
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,840
I am out.

647
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,440
You require minimal assistance now.
Open 2 or 3 additional stores.

648
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,680
And you will see an increase
in valuation.

649
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,920
They aren't giving you
the right valuation.

650
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,280
He is out.

651
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,760
We have a counteroffer
for both of you.

652
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,080
But the valuation is Rs. 20 crores.
You won't budge.

653
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,560
We will make a profit of Rs. 2 crores

654
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,040
I can't proceed with a
valuation of Rs. 20 crores.

655
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,520
- So...
- May I suggest something?

656
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,120
Feel free to propose a valuation
along with the percentage of equity.

657
00:47:57,240 --> 00:47:59,240
In case, you manage to
achieve a PAT of Rs. 2 crores,

658
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,800
consider clawing back some equity.

659
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:03,440
Yes, that is fine with us.

660
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:04,840
3% with a clawback.

661
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,440
[suspenseful music playing]

662
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,920
Okay! I will offer this to you now.

663
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,560
you will be eligible for
an additional 2% clawback.

664
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,040
So, you will get the deal at 3%.

665
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,200
Same offer.

666
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,360
- Congratulations!
- Thank you!

667
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,840
Super excited.

[theme music playing]

670

Welcome back!

671
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,560
- Hi! - Aanchal!
- Did you drink water? -Yes!

672
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:07,920
- I drank water.
- Are you calm now? - Yes!

- All right!
- Aanchal,

674
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,760
honestly, your business

675
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,800
has operational challenges.

676
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,360
Especially, since it is
a C2C business.

677
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,280
So, it's a very

678
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,920
challenging business
for me personally.

679
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,200
So, I am out!
But I wish you the best.

680
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:23,840
Thank you!

681
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,760
Aanchal, sometimes,

682
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,640
having high energy and
intelligence can lead us

683
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,720
to hustle in too many directions,

complications for ourselves.

685
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,840
Your operational metrics

686
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,320
are not as good as
those of other businesses

in this industry.

688
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,000
So, I think you should

689
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,200
simplify it more before
you raise more capital.

690
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,280
For that reason, I am out.

691
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,720
Aanchal, I never imagined that
renting could be so profitable.

692
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,160
However, when I learned about
the number of stores you both have.

693
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,600
It convinced me that
this market exists.

694
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,760
But I don't think the
plan of action you chose

695
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,680
is accurate.

696
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,000
You need to complicate things less

697
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:10,560
and concentrate on it.

698
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:11,960
Then you may do well.

699
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,640
- I am out today.
- Sure.

700
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,640
Aanchal, I beg to differ.

701
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,120
I think your energy
is what sets you apart

702
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,400
in this industry where funded
players struggle to make an impact,

703
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:23,960
you left a mark there.

704
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,200
The franchise partners
are generating revenue

705
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:27,680
and you are also reaping profits.

706
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,200
I like your energy.

707
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,320
And you are channelling it
effectively.

708
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:32,480
When I asked you,

709
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,200
you mentioned that you've
tried many things.

710
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:35,840
There were complications
at the start, but not any more.

711
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:36,960
You've solved the issue.

712
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,000
I loved you for that.

713
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,680
And for that, I will
give you an offer.

714
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,040
Wow!

715
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,960
- Why are you so surprised?
- Wonderful!

716
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,920
- Okay!
- Lovely!

717
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,840
that your CAP table is quite messy.

718
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,840
54% with a micro VC?

719
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,560
I am confused

720
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,200
if will I invest in you or micro VC.

721
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,760
So, that's my biggest challenge.

722
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,440
And that's the reason, I am out.

723
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:14,400
Good luck to you!

724
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:15,640
- Thank you.
- You have an offer.

725
00:51:15,720 --> 00:51:16,600
I hope it works out.

726
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:17,960
Thank you so much.

727
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,120
Can I take some time and come back?
Thanks.

728
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,400
[phone ringing]

729
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:32,880
- Hello!
- Ricky!

730
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,520
- Yes? - We have one offer
from Aman. - Okay.

731
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,360
5% equity for Rs. 50 lakhs.

732
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,800
- Can you negotiate?
- Sure. How much?

733
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,600
He advised the first pitcher not
to give 5% for Rs. 50 lakhs.

734
00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:49,840
[mumbling]

735
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,000
Her CAP is messy.
How are you taking 5%?

736
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,400
[suspenseful music playing]

737
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,120
Welcome, Aanchal!

738
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:05,840
Aanchal, before you say anything,

739
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,680
you should keep your equity safe.

740
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,800
- Think before you make this deal.
- Sure.

741
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,560
[laughing]

742
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,440
If you would like to
reduce the equity.

743
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:24,600
He won't like to do that.

744
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,600
Kindly consider reducing the equity.
It is a request.

745
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,640
The current proportion of equity

746
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,960
necessitates raising
additional rounds.

747
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,600
So, my ask is

748
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,120
But sometimes Sharks are unfair
and unreasonable.

749
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,320
That is between you guys.

750
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,280
I cannot accept Rs. 50 lakhs for 3%.

751
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,680
As everyone mentioned,
nobody would

752
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,280
consider entering this
industry for the next 2 to 3 years.

753
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,240
So, you will have to build it more.

754
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:01,280
I am prepared.

755
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,600
- There was a window of 10 years.
- I think you can do it.

756
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,800
- Yes, I am prepared.
- I will give you a counteroffer.

757
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:15,360
[camera clicks]

758
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,720
- Thank you, Aanchal. All the best.
- Thank you so much.

759
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,520
- All the best, Aanchal.
- Thank you!
