00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Sharks, what's the top
survival tip for today?

4
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,320
Change! People who adapt to
change are the ones who endure.

5
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,800
We have all witnessed it.

6
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,720
We evolved in the digital age.

7
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,640
We have seen UPI, e-commerce,

8
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,640
and online banking, evolve.

9
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,920
But there is one community that
didn't keep up with the digital era.

10
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,640
We are talking about more
than 2 crores shopkeepers.

11
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,320
It is 'kirana stores', stationery,

12
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,920
electronics and many such shops

13
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,920
Why? There are two reasons.

14
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,360
One reason is,

15
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,320
that these sellers are unable
to sell on online platforms

16
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,040
With Kiko Live,

17
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,880
won't be charged any commission.

18
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Our ask is Rs. 1 crore
for 1% equity.

19
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120
When did you come up with this idea
and why?

20
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,720
When there was a lockdown in 2020,

21
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,440
small shops saw a decline
in their business.

22
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Their shops were closed.

23
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:31,760
People's habits changed
and they relied on online shopping.

24
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Those who never purchased anything
online were compelled to do so.

25
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,440
That's when we thought of finding
a solution to this pressing problem.

26
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,120
It's crucial for small shops
to establish an online presence

27
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,880
in order to secure

28
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,960
their existing customers and expand
their business in the long run.

29
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,560
What makes you say that
you thought about this during COVID?

30
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480
They had been cataloguing the
shopkeepers since the beginning,

31
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,640
but they were failing at it.

32
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,520
Informing small shop owners
that their SKUs are not online

33
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,400
and urging them to list
everything immediately

34
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,840
was causing a problem.

35
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,480
We started a live shopping solution.

36
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,120
In fact, we also
applied for a patent

37
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,200
and we were recently
awarded the patent.

38
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,120
The buyer is notified
and the rider goes to the seller

39
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,800
to pick up the order
and deliver it.

40
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,040
Home delivery accounts for over 10%
of the total business in every shop.

41
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,520
And they run their business
via phone or WhatsApp.

42
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,640
All of this is informal
because the order

43
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,680
is written on a piece of paper
or sent through a message.

44
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,920
There is no record of it.

45
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,520
He obtains an MIS in one place

46
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,760
regarding the
orders he is receiving.

47
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,240
And instead of

48
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,600
reaching out to the
seller in different ways,

49
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,600
the customer...

50
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,280
All of this is being done
on other platforms.

51
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360
The only thing they are not doing is
live video

52
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,640
and that is because

53
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,400
many people have tried
video commerce in India

54
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,520
- to replicate China.
- Right!

55
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,120
But it hasn't worked in India yet.

56
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Because consumers don't want to be
on a video call.

57
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,400
Correct! The issue
with this was that

58
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,520
'one to many' kind of live commerce
didn't work.

59
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,000
However, our solution was
slightly unique.

60
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,000
The shopkeeper informs his
existing customers to contact them

61
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,720
through this solution
instead of phone or WhatsApp.

62
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,360
But this solution

63
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,840
is looking for a problem.

64
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,960
- I don't see a
problem being resolved. - We...

65
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,480
- Hold on! Please clarify something.
- Sure.

66
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,480
- Are 'Kirana stores' your client?
- Yes.

67
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,000
What do you exactly sell to them?

68
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,920
What are they paying you for?

69
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,040
Shall we see a demo?

70
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,920
- I will show you the demo.
- Let's see a demo

71
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,080
- to understand it better.
- It will make it easier.

72
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,160
Cataloguing means he can
upload the products he has

73
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,440
- for customers to browse through
and see what he's selling. - Yes.

74
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,440
This is how the website
typically looks like.

75
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,680
On average, how many
SKUs can they load?

76
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,160
Our website service went live

77
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,200
two months ago.

78
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,160
Around 50 to 100 fast-moving
SKU sellers

79
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,040
are uploading to our platform.

80
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,240
- Generally, there are around
4,000 SKUs. - Yes.

81
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,640
This is a typical checkout process.

82
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,840
By feeding in the address,

83
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,240
the customer can choose
COD or online payment

84
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,400
when checking out.

85
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,920
You said it is live.

86
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Will you not show it to us?

87
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,520
One-on-one calling is
evolving in this product.

88
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,440
We're encouraging sellers

89
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,440
to keep their catalogues updated

90
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,640
so their products can
be seen on ONDC.

91
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,240
Live connectivity is
not available on ONDC currently.

92
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,040
There is no need for this business.

93
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,640
So, the bigger picture
that is evolving

94
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,560
is that ONDC... These
are official figures that

95
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,360
over the next 2-3 years, ONDC

96
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,080
will be worth ¤80 billion.

97
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Yes. This way, they will
attract more business.

98
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,280
Having just one listing will
take care of both of their tasks.

99
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,720
Their website will be ready

100
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,000
which will help them attract
their existing customers.

101
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,240
He will also discover new customers
through ONDC.

102
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,240
I am confused.

103
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,360
How do your offerings
stand out from those of people

104
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,000
who are bigger than you?

105
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,520
What steps will you take to thrive
in a competitive setting? - Correct.

106
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,840
For the start, the traction
appears to be quite promising.

107
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,400
All the shops we've been to
want to be associated with us.

108
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,480
Of course! Because you
are not charging them.

109
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,160
But once ONDC is in action,
we've informed them

110
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,240
that we will take a 5% commission.

111
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,120
- can be too taxing.
- Yes.

112
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Apart from his
usual responsibilities,

113
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,120
he has to do this as well.

114
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,800
A lot of similar companies

115
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,600
- have already approached
the shopkeeper. - Yes.

116
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:41,680
I agree.

117
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,160
Currently,

118
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,040
they seem to have a problem

119
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,840
where they feel hopeless

120
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,120
even if a new company
approaches them.

121
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,800
If you can increase their
business by around 40%

122
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,000
- only then you will crack it.
- Yes.

123
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,080
- You will go viral
and it will work. - Yes.

124
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,680
But the issue is no one has

125
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,800
- improved their business
by even 5%. - Yes.

126
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Zomato has done the same thing
in restaurants.

127
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,320
We chose a vertical and carried
out the necessary actions within it.

128
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640
- Because there is no inventory.
- Yes.

129
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,840
If there is no inventory,

130
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,880
- the fulfilment rate is higher.
- Yes.

131
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,280
In retail, when you
jump into this platform,

132
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,960
your fulfillment rate...

133
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,640
Fulfilment rate means that
the customer ordered the product

134
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,560
This is everyone's dream.

135
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,640
I started from here

136
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,280
and gave up and eventually
decided to go to restaurants.

137
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,280
- You gave up because
of the Fill rate and... - Experience.

138
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,280
I didn't have customer experience.

139
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,680
Zomato's failure rate...

140
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,040
The failure rate is determined

141
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,160
when you don't get
the order despite placing it.

142
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,040
That is 0.3%.

143
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,720
On a daily basis,

144
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,560
I lost 0.3% customers.

145
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,120
This means, on a monthly basis,
I lost 10% of customers.

146
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,040
That is a lot.

147
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,480
- And your point is, the
chances are more here. - It's 30%.

148
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,520
[dramatic music playing]

149
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,000
If our failure rate of 0.3%

150
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,400
becomes 4%,

151
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:31,000
- then our business
will end in a month. - It will end.

152
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,520
Down to zero!

153
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,000
I understand that
the Fill rate is a challenge.

154
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,680
It is a challenge for ONDC as well.

155
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,000
But what we are saying
is that the Fill rate

156
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,520
which used to be around 75% earlier,

157
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,760
had come to around
85% until last week.

158
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,360
Processes are being developed.

159
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,160
There are early adopters.

160
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,720
Around 20,000-30,000 transactions
take place daily.

161
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,600
You can say that it is similar to

162
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,840
UPI only offers digital goods.

163
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,480
- Yes.
- It is only digital goods.

164
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,680
There are physical goods
involved here.

165
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,760
You have to connect six people

166
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,280
and there is failure
at every level.

167
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,840
Who will take accountability?

168
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Customer support processes have
already been developed by the ONDC.

169
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
ONDC is not taking accountability.

170
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,040
ONDC is back end.

171
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,200
We are following
the processes they made.

172
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,400
What will happen if there is
no Fill rate? How to build this?

173
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,680
Your pitch is that if

174
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,160
ONDC is successful,
your business will thrive. Correct?

175
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,680
It will definitely cause a bump.
I agree with that.

176
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,240
What do you both do?

177
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600
- I am the CTO.
- I am COO.

178
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,200
I am the CEO.

179
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,360
How did you meet?

180
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,640
We met on ICQ.

181
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Neeta and I are husband and wife.

182
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,560
- Lovely! After a long time,
I heard ICQ. - I know.

183
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,280
Alok and I met each other through
a mutual friend.

184
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,080
You've been running this business
for how long?

185
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,200
It's been two years now.

186
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,760
How much money have you invested?

187
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,440
- We have raised three rounds.
- Oh my God!

188
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,200
When we initiated
the business plan level

189
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,000
in early 2021,

190
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,600
I embarked on my first major
venture which was a prepaid wallet

191
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,920
through TikTok influencers
for a share in revenue.

192
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,360
Unfortunately, that
business suffered

193
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,200
during lockdown
due to the ban on TikTok.

194
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,680
That's when

195
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,080
we went back
to the drawing board to see

196
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,200
what other major problems
can we solve.

197
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,040
- I have two questions.
- Yes?

198
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,880
- First, you took the
funding of Rs. 13.5 crores. - Yes.

199
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440
How much is remaining in the bank?

200
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,040
As of now, we have
Rs. 3 crores in the bank.

201
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,080
and some on marketing,
seller acquisition and so on.

202
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,320
Second question. How do you charge

203
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,640
and how much revenue
have you generated as of now?

204
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,920
Currently, our last month's revenue
was Rs. 3 lakhs.

205
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,680
This revenue comes from services.
It's early revenue.

206
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,360
- And we still consider our business
as pre-revenue. - Of course.

207
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,320
We're hoping that in
3 to 6 months from now,

208
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,600
this revenue will
multiply by at least 10X

209
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,200
Our revenues are such that
because we have started,

210
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,320
we also offer delivery services
to sellers.

211
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,760
We earn revenue from that as well.

212
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,160
We charge a nominal fee...
As you said,

213
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,200
we take a subscription of Rs. 100
from the seller and not Rs. 1,000.

214
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,360
These small revenues
have just started.

215
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,160
But this is too early.
In the next 3 months, this graph

216
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,120
- will take off.
- I have made my decision.

217
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,200
where first, you have
a lot of competition.

218
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,240
Others will also do
what you have planned.

219
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Second, ONDC's traction and all.

220
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,120
- Too many unknown variables.
- Okay.

221
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,800
Rs. 80 crores is not justifiable
for me.

222
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,080
- And I can't downvalue you because
you have completed 3 rounds. - Yes.

223
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,640
So, that's not respectful
to the prior investors. I am out.

224
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,520
Thank you!

225
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,000
In this category,

226
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,400
the biggest moat

227
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,480
that leading companies have
is capital.

228
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,240
It's slightly challenging

229
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,080
when a big company is pitted against
a small company

230
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,240
when it comes to capital.
We are Sharks.

231
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,880
But there is one
Blue Whale in India.

232
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,880
And that is Jio.

233
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,800
And it is

234
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,160
one of the priorities
in their agenda

235
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,440
- to digitize these 2 crore retailers
and bring them online. - Right!

236
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,400
And cataloguing their products.

237
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,440
And they will eventually enter ONDC

238
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,280
- until it reaches
around ¤2 billion. - Yes.

239
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,320
- So, to fight this battle...
- Yes.

240
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,880
With Rs. 1 crore capital

241
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,040
seems challenging.

242
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,600
Because capital is the biggest
moat you have

243
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,440
- in this category.
- Rs. 1 crore... Yes.

244
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,360
I am out for now.

245
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,440
- But I really hope you
can give them a good fight. - Yes!

246
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,280
I have reservations about
the adequacy of the technology.

247
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,160
Workflow automation, SaaS,

248
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560
and so on will be carried
out by you. Anyone can do that.

249
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,160
The only benefit I can see

250
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,920
- is that you are early stage mover
on ONDC. - Yes.

251
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,600
A valuation of Rs. 8-10 crores
would be justifiable

252
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,280
if the equity ranged from 5%-10%.

253
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,920
Absolutely! It is overpriced.

254
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,160
For me, this is more
of an ONDC pitch

255
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,360
than your company's pitch.

256
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,400
I am out.

257
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,960
- Your entrepreneurial skills
are truly commendable. - Thanks.

258
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,400
I believe you will pivot and try

259
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,360
to do something or
make some changes.

260
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,480
I don't think it's worth investing
for a valuation of Rs. 80 crores.

261
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,560
So, I am out.

262
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,880
- Okay.
- Okay.

263
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,160
- Alright, guys! All the best.
- Thank you, Sharks.

264
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,960
- Thank you, Sharks.
- Thank you.

265
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,920
[theme music playing]

266
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,840
What's the problem?

267
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,520
They will appear before us for sure.

268
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,600
- Look!
- It's over there.

269
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,960
'Greetings, Sharks! I'm Kyra.'

270
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,640
'- Aman, you followed me
till here!' - [Aman chuckling]

271
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,240
'Looking cute, Aman.'

272
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,880
- Ooh! Very quick.
'- I'm signing out now.'

273
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,960
'I'd like to invite two cute boys'

274
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,600
'who are my creators.'

275
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,040
[theme music playing]

276
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,920
We believe

277
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,480
that virtual humans are the
next step of digital evolution.

278
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:45,880
In the next few years,

279
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,520
Kyra and other virtual humans
like Kyra

280
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,320
will play the roles

281
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,920
of our friends, teachers,
assistants and entertainers.

282
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,080
Nowadays, we humans

283
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,680
spend our maximum time
in the virtual world.

284
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,520
Don't you think that the virtual
and real world have merged?

285
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,520
Kyra belongs to this world.

286
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,240
Kyra is a superstar.

287
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,120
- She has more than 2.5 lakh follower
on social media. - Ooh!

288
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,000
She has been in the news
all over the world

289
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,720
to make her the world's
biggest virtual influencer.

290
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Sharks, we need your help

291
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:35,400
to bring this virtual world

292
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,720
and Kyra's friends
into the real world.

293
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,920
Himanshu and George,
welcome to Shark Tank.

294
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:49,960
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Aman.

295
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,040
Her name is Kyraonig, right?

296
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,720
- Kyraonig.
- Kyraonig.

297
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,200
Correct? boAt has worked with you.

298
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,560
Sir, you started
this service with us.

299
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,240
We did the first virtual
influencer programme in India.

300
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,840
That's why she called you cute.
Did you think you're really cute?

301
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:04,840
[laughing]

302
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,800
They were paid by you.

303
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,320
Can you edit this? I don't like her.
Can you remove her?

304
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,040
Can you make her virtual, please?

305
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,720
Before we discuss it,

306
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,120
please tell us why you started it.

307
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,840
How did you get this idea?
How do you two know each other?

308
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,760
I have stayed mostly in Chandigarh.

309
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,200
I pursued engineering at
Panjab University in the IT stream.

310
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,840
I joined MICA in 2017.

311
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,920
influencer marketing
and social media marketing.

312
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,240
In 2021, we came to know

313
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,160
about a famous virtual influencer
in the US, Lil Miquela.

314
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,040
- She has 3 million followers.
- That's right.

315
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,000
Similarly, Imma Gram in Japan
has 4 lakh followers.

316
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,640
So we wondered why
nobody in India was doing it.

317
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:58,720
India has a great
social media power.

318
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,280
India has the highest number
of Instagram users.

319
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,800
So we searched
for the best designers in India.

320
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,680
We wanted to maintain
international quality.

321
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,000
We didn't want to do shoddy work.

322
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,440
So, I consider myself Gujarati.

323
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,240
I've always had a knack
for entrepreneurship

324
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,760
and worked in the founding teams
for many of the small start-ups.

325
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,760
I always wanted to do something
innovative and creative of my own.

326
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,240
I felt that this could be
the next big thing.

327
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,800
That is why we started doing this.

328
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,640
What type of company are you?

329
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,280
Are you
an intellectual property company

330
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,840
that creates different characters
and presence and will monetize it?

331
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,040
Or are you making technology
that will make these characters?

332
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:47,880
We wish to become
an intellectual property company.

333
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,920
We've used the most
advanced technologies in AI yet

334
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,720
to create Kyra.

335
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,120
Do people assume her to be real
and follow her

336
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,040
or do they know she's virtual?

337
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,880
We believe in disclosure.

338
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,520
Nowadays, AI is
a really advanced technology,

339
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,200
but also very dangerous.

340
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,880
A lot of ads run
that can modulate voice

341
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,640
and impersonate people.

342
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:14,200
The first thing in our bio is
this is a virtual human

343
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,760
so that it is disclosed
that this isn't a real person.

344
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,560
- You increase its followers
through engaging content. - Yes.

345
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,160
When it reaches a certain limit,
you monetize it.

346
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:26,240
- Yes.
- That's your business.

347
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,280
- Yes.
- Okay.

348
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,920
Every influencer
stands for something.

349
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,040
They have an image, right?

350
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,400
What is Kyra's identity?

351
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,960
At first, we penned about
over a hundred character traits

352
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,520
for the person we wanted to create.

353
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,000
Post this exercise,
we came to the conclusion

354
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,880
that first, we'll create a fashion,
fitness and lifestyle influencer

355
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,800
and that's what Kyra is.

356
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,040
[upbeat music playing]

357
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,920
Honestly, she isn't as realistic

358
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,120
as the international
virtual influencers.

359
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,840
What were you expecting?

360
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,680
- A normal influencer?
- They don't look animated.

361
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
If you look at some of
the international influencers,

362
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,920
it looks like a real person.

363
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,040
It looks like everything
is three-dimensional.

364
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,120
Let me explain
Lil Miquela's technology.

365
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:16,520
They use a real person.

366
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,720
The video is also real,
they just swap the face.

367
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,080
have been around for years.

368
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,200
Like Spider-Man and Batman.

369
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,000
That's an insight for us.

370
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,080
If people can connect with
a completely fictional character,

371
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,600
we could make them
like influencers too.

372
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,840
That was why we made Kyra.

373
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,080
I agree with your point.
It is currently animated

374
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,720
as the technology
is still fairly new.

375
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,600
The technology
is globally accessible.

376
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,400
Why can't you make it
more realistic then?

377
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,320
We know there's a scope
for improvement.

378
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,560
Maybe, we're 70 to 80% there.

379
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:59,120
Will you ever be able to augment
Kyra with reality? - Yes.

380
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:03,880
Let's say a restaurant
wants to come to you for an ad.

381
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,280
Can you make Kyra
sit inside a restaurant,

382
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,360
have food and say,
"Okay, this food is awesome."?

383
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,320
Definitely, sir.

384
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,600
We could show you an ad
for Amazon Prime.

385
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:16,720
During the live show
'The Peripheral' on Amazon,

386
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,080
they had chosen Kyra
for its promotion.

387
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,880
We've placed Kyra
in the live show shots.

388
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,600
'Today, I am going
to check out The Peripheral.'

389
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,640
'What is it?'

390
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:29,160
'Cutting edge VR for you.'

391
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,560
'Maybe it's like the peripheral.'

392
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,880
'Harness in that body isn't...'

393
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,000
This is better.

394
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,440
She's placed inside
a live show setting.

395
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:41,280
A very short ad,

396
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,200
but to answer your question,
yes, it's possible.

397
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,160
Kyra is a digital asset

398
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,520
keeping the story intact,

399
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,320
keeping all the conditions
that this is how it should be used.

400
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,520
We wouldn't do it time and again.

401
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,560
Wouldn't its novelty fade gradually?

402
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:20,160
You're only looking at Kyra
from this lens

403
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:21,960
which is why you feel
the novelty will fade.

404
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,240
We will continue
to make virtual IPs.

405
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,360
We're going to create more IPs
in different content niches.

406
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,960
For example,

407
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,280
what about a virtual Sima Aunty
for Shaadi.com?

408
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,760
Will you make something else
after Kyra? Will you have a library?

409
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,920
We want to make a connected
universe of virtual influencers.

410
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,920
After Kyra, we made Sravya,
who is Kyra's manager.

411
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,520
She's a virtual influencer
on LinkedIn.

412
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:56,960
where a Brand Manager can
discuss and brainstorm with Sravya

413
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,360
- about what ideas
Kyra can work on. - Crazy.

414
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Using LLM.

415
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,680
I don't see the persona!

416
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,880
I think you're selling her
as the first virtual influencer.

417
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,520
You're not...
The persona is not coming through.

418
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,360
I believe
the 2.5 to 3 lakh followers

419
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,240
are following her only out of
inquisitiveness and intrigue,

420
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:28,480
not because they love her persona
or the character.

421
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,720
It seems to me like
you're working on discreet pieces.

422
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,960
The tasteful storytelling part of it

423
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,360
- is the real thing
that you need to create. - Yes.

424
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,400
You need to make something
like the Marvel Comic Universe

425
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,560
with a network of influencers.

426
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,800
There has to be a story going on.

427
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,400
It was a science fiction novel
called Tulsi.

428
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,280
Up until my MBA college,
I used to write books.

429
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,720
I've written poetry and fiction.
George is a musician.

430
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,720
We have a creative inclination.

431
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,360
Due to limited resources...

432
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,240
We want to make Kyra sustainable.

433
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,120
So, our branded content is higher,

434
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,880
- but...
- I don't get this. No!

435
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,080
If this is your background,

436
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,920
you should have done storytelling
since day one.

437
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,240
It has been one
to two years, right? - Yes.

438
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,960
You still have not
started storytelling.

439
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,120
When do you plan
on starting the story?

440
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,560
What we want to do is

441
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,840
create Kyra's life story
with branded posts.

442
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,480
Kyra has a backstory which we know.

443
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,080
Kyra belongs
to a particular metaverse world.

444
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,920
Her memories got wiped out
when she came here.

445
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,320
We wish to build all of that
through a storyline.

446
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,520
All of this,
because it is CGI production,

447
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,520
it requires money to create.

448
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,320
How much did boAt pay you?

449
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,320
We charged boAt Rs. 16.5 lakhs.

450
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,640
What was its cost?

451
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,000
- Rs. 10 lakh
for that particular video. - Yes.

452
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,640
Is your content production
outsourced?

453
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,600
and learn the technology
and make it yourself?

454
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,680
Had I not known tech,
Zomato would not have existed.

455
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,720
That is...

456
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,560
May not be true but... I don't know.

457
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,200
- It wasn't possible.
- [Sharks laugh]

458
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,840
He almost said it, but didn't.

459
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,000
It wouldn't have been made.

460
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,320
Sir, we have a good understanding
of how this model is made.

461
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,680
To create a character from scratch,

462
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,600
there is just one grey ball
on the screen.

463
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,880
The character needs to be made
using sculpting.

464
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,960
It is actually a work of art
for which we need...

465
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,080
There are barely a few people
in India who can do it

466
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,600
because you don't get a lot of money
for it in India.

467
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,720
So, we've outsourced
some of the work.

468
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,480
All of our designers
are on exclusive contracts with us,

469
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,080
and based on projects,
we keep outsourcing.

470
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,360
Do you work out of a garage?

471
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,000
- From home, sir.
- Home.

472
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,800
Who writes for Kyra?

473
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,800
- We do, sir.
- Okay.

474
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,520
Suppose you need any fashion tips,

475
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,960
send any fashion-related photo,
she will see it and comment on it.

476
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,160
The fashion tips
come from you! Sorry!

477
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,520
That's exactly the point.

478
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,920
- That is all GPT...
- That's what I'm saying.

479
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,240
Look. It's a different thing
if we want fashion tips from Kyra

480
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,000
but end up getting them from you.

481
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:25,000
We will train the model
with the latest trends.

482
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,320
We're using AI
to build Kyra's DM system

483
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,240
where Kyra will actually
be able to reply.

484
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,320
Is that outsourced too?

485
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,600
No, sir.
We have hired a head of AI recently.

486
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,880
As far as I understand, you...

487
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,960
You want to be
the Disney of the future.

488
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:40,320
You are absolutely right.

489
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,840
- That's your aim. - That's what
we wrote on a piece of paper

490
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,080
when we were thinking of a vision.

491
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,040
Okay. So, I can read your mind.

492
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:46,040
Yes. [chuckles]

493
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,240
- Disney wrote its business plan
on a napkin. - Hmm.

494
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,080
On a paper napkin
with amusement parks, with movies,

495
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,480
with merchandising.

496
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,120
What did you write on the napkin?

497
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,360
The possibilities are endless.

498
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,200
If we tell you about
the various possibilities,

499
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,480
you'll think we're faking.

500
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,760
- But...
- No, we want to hear them.

501
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,280
Crystallise your vision for us.

502
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,960
If you don't do that,
then who will?

503
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:19,400
Research has already begun
in this field.

504
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:20,720
It is in the early stages now.

505
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,640
So, that is our actual vision.

506
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,000
A lot of companies are working

507
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,680
- on autonomous influencers...
- There are a lot of players.

508
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:27,840
So, the thing is, ma'am,

509
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,560
this technology will be democratised
in a few years.

510
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:31,920
Anybody will be able to do this.

511
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,200
The brands already existing then
will stand out.

512
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,640
That's why we're making Kyra
and the upcoming VIs a brand.

513
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,040
As soon as we unlock the technology,
all the VIs will be autonomous.

514
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,760
If you even make 100,

515
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,880
do you think
they would get enough business?

516
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,360
Ma'am, we have two business models.

517
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,200
No, ma'am. The designers
work on the specified directions.

518
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,160
You tell them it should look
and feel like this and they make it,

519
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,000
but that direction
needs to come from us.

520
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,560
What the brand voice would be
and what feel it should give out.

521
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,680
If we could give it a human form,

522
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,640
the brand would be able
to communicate very effectively.

523
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:20,840
Tell us about your sales.

524
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Our overall sales are Rs. 82 lakhs.

525
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:34,480
or do you get more than this
in some months or nil?

526
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,200
We don't have
a predictable revenue now.

527
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,960
We work on a project basis.

528
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,560
Some months, the revenue is high,
and other months, not so much.

529
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:43,600
I'm out.

530
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,680
For me, you're a trading agency.

531
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,400
You're getting business

532
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,760
and someone else
is creating the content for you.

533
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,240
Someone else is making it for you.

534
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,600
You have a big vision,

535
00:47:57,720 --> 00:48:01,040
but the basic
which is Kyra's personality,

536
00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:02,640
you haven't developed that.

537
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:09,360
This seems superficial to me
at the fundamental level...

538
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,200
- Okay.
- For me to get excited.

539
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,840
And for that reason, I'm out.

540
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:15,960
What's your profitability?

541
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,440
Out of our Rs. 46 lakh sales,

542
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:28,960
- Yes.
- Wow.

543
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,080
I personally feel that
this has lost its novelty.

544
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,040
I've observed that copycat brands
have done the same thing.

545
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,080
It's no use to me.
I'll look for something new.

546
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,720
What else can I do?

547
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,360
Firstly, you need to bring
constant innovations

548
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,040
and bring something new.

549
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,200
Secondly, you need
a solid tech co-founder

550
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:52,400
to help you better market
your upcoming future technologies.

551
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,880
So, get a solid tech co-founder

552
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,320
Build it up as a business
for Futr studios.

553
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,560
- So, I am out.
- Got it, sir.

554
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,280
You're quite early on.

555
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:12,560
You really need to show
your progress to investors

556
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:13,880
in one direction.

557
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,560
Either the content side,

558
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,360
where you create influencers
with an edge.

559
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:20,440
Their content,

560
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,560
one's is humorous.

561
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,000
The other one has drama.

562
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,440
Something engaging,

563
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,440
which in spite of the person
being a virtual influencer,

564
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,320
people will follow.

565
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,600
that you're the first in the world
to bring all of these advancements

566
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,440
which is why companies would want to
work with you on latest innovations.

567
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,040
It is hard to tell
which direction you might head in

568
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,360
depending on
what your innate skill is.

569
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,920
That is not visible through Kyra.

570
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,360
For that reason, I am out.

571
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,840
Three Sharks are out.
What will you do with Rs. 1 crore?

572
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,520
I tried in many ways.
I asked you where you'd invest.

573
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,600
Your reply was hardware,
VI and a team.

574
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,960
You never once said
that you wanted to invest

575
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,200
to build out the stories
of the future,

576
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,440
to build out the universe.

577
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:47,800
You're investing elsewhere.

578
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,240
It's not consistent
with what you want to do.

579
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:51,840
That's the reason I'm out.
Good luck.

580
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:53,080
Okay.

581
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,680
- You're not a business,
you're an Instagram handle. - Hmm.

582
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:57,560
Okay?

583
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,280
These companies
need to be built vision first.

584
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,000
That's how this gets built.

585
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,080
- Get it?
- Yes, absolutely.

586
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,040
- I'm out. I hope you got it.
- Okay.

587
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:12,720
Sorry, guys.
All five Sharks are out.

588
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,720
Try to do something good
in the right direction.

589
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,200
If you make such a company in India,
we'd feel extremely proud.

590
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,800
- Good luck.
- Thank you so much.

591
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:22,240
boAt will continue
to give you business.

592
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:23,520
- Thank you, Sharks.
- Good show.

593
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:08,960
Welcome to Ask The Shark.

594
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,920
Joining us today on Ask The Shark

595
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,360
is the Co-Founder and CMO of boAt,
Mr. Aman Gupta.

596
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,280
- Welcome, sir.
- Thank you.

597
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,200
Sir, honestly speaking,
I'm really excited

598
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,680
for this Ask The Shark.

599
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,920
It's the first time someone has
asked a question anonymously.

600
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:27,120
Sir, here is
Mr. Anonymous's question.

601
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,400
'We have a profit of 30%
in our business.'

602
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,200
the compliances there
are really important too.

603
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,520
You should not do all of this.

604
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,320
Avoid it as much as possible.

605
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,880
Firstly, you're evading taxes.

606
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,880
You're using the services
provided by the government.
