[theme music playing]

2
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,280
[theme music playing]

3
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,040
[theme music playing]

4
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Sharks, this balloon looks
so beautiful, doesn't it?

5
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Wait, what?
This balloon is losing air.

6
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,600
Sharks, our skin
is like this balloon.

7
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920
- Oh no!
- With age, pollution,

8
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,800
stress and chemical-filled food,

9
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,960
it becomes lifeless just
like this deflated balloon.

10
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Sharks, I've been a model
in the past.

11
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,960
I have faced these issues.

12
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Creams and serums
have their limitations.

13
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,880
But I wanted a solution

14
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,800
which fixes me from within.

15
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Like supplements?

16
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,600
General supplements are
widely available in the market.

17
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,000
But what about targeted
nutrition supplements

18
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,720
for skin and hair which
fixes you from within?

19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,680
Sharks, we are siblings from Delhi
who will keep fighting.

20
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Let's talk about Beautywise.

21
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,480
It is an advanced supplement brand

22
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,040
for skin, hair and body.

23
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,600
designed to deliver
both powder-based

24
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,360
and advanced marine
collagen for anti-ageing.

25
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,960
We are not just customers' but
also dermatologists' favourite brand.

26
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,720
Today, more than 1 lakh customers

27
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,840
trust us and have consumed
Beautywise products.

28
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,840
And over 1,000 cosmetologists
and dermatologists

29
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Through Beautywise,
we aim to educate people

30
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,240
to be proactive

31
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,960
and become the best, most
beautiful version of themselves.

32
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,240
Sharks, today, our ask is

33
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Rs. 1 crore for 1.5% equity
in Beautywise.

34
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200
- So, let's approach beauty...
- Wisely!

35
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Awesome! Welcome to the tank.

36
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,200
- Thank you.
- Thank you!

37
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,760
- Beauty and wise, Anousha.
- She left nothing for me.

38
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,920
- And so on, and so forth,
Shreyansh! - And et cetera.

39
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,080
I've been in the startup
ecosystem for around 15 years.

40
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,760
First, it was Proptech,
then Healthtech,

41
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,040
followed by Foodtech.
After that came Edtech.

42
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000
Then, in 2021, it was
skincare and D2C brands.

43
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,040
- This year, supplements
are just exploding. - Is it?

44
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Our friend, Namita, has launched
her supplements brand called Arth.

45
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,360
[laughing]

46
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,560
Thank you, Vineeta.

47
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,000
So, did you launch this
after seeing all the momentum

48
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,400
or were you already
thinking about it?

49
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,240
And how are you
different from the rest?

50
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,240
This started with
a personal challenge

51
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,720
when I used to be a model.

52
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,280
Back then, due to excessive
hair and makeup,

53
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,360
an erratic schedule,
and all those factors

54
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,360
were damaging my skin.

55
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080
I tried various creams and serums,

56
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,320
and while they helped,
the results weren't dramatic.

57
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,920
My friends used to
travel to foreign countries

58
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,000
and trust the ingredients, collagen

59
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640
and other supplements
available there.

60
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,560
But there were no brands
in India that I could rely on,

61
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,120
expecting good results while also
ensuring the ingredients were safe.

62
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,800
How long did you model for

63
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,440
and when did you experience this?

64
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,280
I was a model till 2017.

65
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,920
We launched this brand in
2020-2021.

66
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,600
Which college did you
study at, Anousha?

67
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:12,520
I completed my schooling
at DPS R.K. Puram.

68
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,440
- Oh!
- Nice!

69
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,600
- There are three people from
DPS R. K. Puram. - Really?

70
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,440
Yeah!

71
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,240
After that, I did my BCom Honours
from Kirori Mal College.

72
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,400
I worked at PWC.

73
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,520
I did my MBA at Symbiosis, Pune.

74
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,600
[laughing]

75
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,040
Then, I secured a
college placement

76
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,800
as a management
trainee with Whirlpool.

77
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,720
After that, there is a Chinese
conglomerate called TCL.

78
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,480
When they launched their
televisions in India,

79
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,640
I was part of their core team.

80
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200
- You quit and started Beautywise.
- Yes!

81
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,880
In 2021, Anousha had an idea,

82
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,960
along with premises
and hypotheses.

83
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,640
We analysed the market size, looked
at what was currently available,

84
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,520
and considered what
could happen in the future.

85
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,920
And in 2019, before the supplement
mushroomed into a product,

86
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Anousha had a lot of clarity about

87
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,440
what collagen is

88
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400
and how you can take care
of yourself from within.

89
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,600
So, I wanted to transform this

90
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,480
in-depth consumer knowledge
into a business with her.

91
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,760
How old are you? You have a lot
of work experience.

92
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:10,680
35 years old.

93
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200
35 years? This means collagen
worked for you.

94
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,480
- You are his older sister.
- By five years.

95
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Oh my God! You look like you are 18.

96
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,960
- Thank you!
- Just like Ritesh.

97
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,720
- The medicine is working.
- Oh my God!

98
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,840
- So true.
- He is actually 18.

99
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,160
[music playing]

100
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Okay!

101
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760
Hey, leave some for us.

102
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,360
Okay!

103
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Okay, I'll check Skin Repair.
Blueberry!

104
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Sorry, Kunal!

105
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,680
Nothing is left for me.
Thank you!

106
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,160
What is your popular product?

107
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,040
The most popular
product is Skin Brilliance.

108
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,040
What is collagen?

109
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680
Collagen is an animal-based protein.

110
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,440
It is the most abundant
protein in our skin and body.

111
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,480
Proteins are long chains
of amino acids.

112
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,200
When they are broken down,
the body is able to consume them.

113
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,400
That is called
peptide or hydrolysis,

114
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,200
which occurs through
an enzymatic action.

115
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,800
What happens is that
the molecules become so small

116
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,120
that your body can absorb them,

117
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,400
utilise them, and transport
them into the blood.

118
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,080
So, basically, peptides
are a smaller form of protein.

119
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,760
- Correct.
- But it's all amino acids.

120
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,920
- Peptides increase
overall absorption. - Correct.

121
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,480
- They enhance absorption.
- It's more targeted.

122
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,600
It's more targeted

123
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,120
and it is the only thing
that the body can utilize.

124
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,720
- You claim 'weight loss'.
- Yes!

125
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,560
I think I have a little
problem with that.

126
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,560
But now, they are injecting this
at kitty parties,

127
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,200
- weddings and parties.
- Yes.

128
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,600
And it has its side effects
for people who don't need it.

129
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,240
and we've also developed a product.

130
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,560
But weight management

131
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,160
is a more realistic, truthful,
and authentic approach.

132
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,120
You can't claim weight loss.

133
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,560
I can make this claim

134
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:40,320
because it is supported
by clinical trials

135
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,680
that show a weight loss of 1.4 kg

136
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,160
over a period of 2 months with a
sample size, and not just one trial.

137
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,440
I'm talking about 6 trials.

138
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,240
I am talking about the patented
B420 ingredient used in this.

139
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,120
I'm excited to share
the research with you.

140
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,520
Do you have any data on how much
weight has been lost? - Yes.

141
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,120
- 1... - What is the endpoint
of the trial?

142
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Abroad. On average,
there is a body fat loss

143
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,440
of 1.4 kg, where your
muscle mass is maintained,

144
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,520
and only 1.4 kg of fat is reduced.

145
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,360
There is a measurable difference
in your waist circumference.

146
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,640
- So, it... - How many
patients were part of this trial?

147
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,160
- I have a question
regarding your product. - Yes.

148
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Skin Brilliance is your top-selling
product, right?

149
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,200
If someone starts consuming it,

150
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,280
for how long

151
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,800
- in their...
- Optimal results in 2 months.

152
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,200
But they start seeing results
in 30 days.

153
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280
How long should it be used?

154
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Continuously? For a lifetime?

155
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Or take it for 2-3 months
and then discontinue.

156
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,800
If you want to continue, then you
should take a break of 1 month.

157
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,960
And its effects will start
wearing off in six months.

158
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Shreyansh and Anousha,

159
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,480
So, where have you reached now?

160
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:34,560
We began with Apollo Pharmacy,

161
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:37,320
where we achieved sales of
Rs. 50 lakhs in the first year.

162
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,880
Is this FY22?

163
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,960
This is FY22.

164
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,120
- What about FY23?
- Rs. 2.2 crores.

165
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Oh, very nice.

166
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,760
- FY24?
- Rs. 6.7 crores.

167
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,320
What is it this year?

168
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,800
- We will do Rs. 14.5 crores.
- Oh!

169
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,800
On Rs. 50 lakhs, we had a 7% EBIT.

170
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,440
Very good!

171
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,880
And at what valuation
did you raise this?

172
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,680
- Rs. 35 crores pre-money and
Rs. 42 crores post - Pre-money.

173
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,080
- Which year?
- February, this year.

174
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,720
The largest and the oldest
skin clinic we cracked...

175
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,080
- Which one?
- Kaya Skin Clinic.

176
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,320
It did good business, and repeat
sales started coming in very well.

177
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,680
After a time period,

178
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,200
the skin clinics started launching
their collagen supplement.

179
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,680
But our products stand out.

180
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,000
They're still with Kaya and
continuing to serve customers.

181
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,280
We changed our strategy
completely

182
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,320
- and started e-commerce.
- Okay.

183
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,120
E-commerce contributed 24% in Q4

184
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,120
of the previous financial year.

185
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,720
but now we've reached
Rs. 1.5 crores in this quarter.

186
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,440
- 6% is pharmacies and trade.
- Okay!

187
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640
38% is e-commerce

188
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,600
and 6% is D2C.

189
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,840
Let's talk about unit economics.

190
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Can you tell us the average
order value and gross margin?

191
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,400
Rs. 1250 is the net of everything.

192
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,000
The money that comes in our bank.

193
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,360
Hold on!

194
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,320
This is almost 35%-40%.

195
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,160
This product retails for Rs. 3,000.

196
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,800
Then how is your average Rs. 1,250?

197
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,240
Because that is the MRP.

198
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,560
This is after deducting the margin

199
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,200
- by selling it to the skin clinics.
I sell it to them... - Okay!

200
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,360
What is the partner margin?

201
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,920
It varies from 40% to 50%.

202
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,680
Sometimes, we crack 30% also now.

203
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,680
Now we started cracking even 25%.

204
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,680
And then, our COGS is Rs. 450,

205
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,520
which gives us
a gross profit of Rs. 800.

206
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,120
Rs. 50 is our shipping.

207
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,600
Rs. 100 is e-commerce commissions
and marketing is Rs. 450.

208
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,000
Rs. 80 is salaries and Rs. 20
is all other expenses.

209
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,440
We are left with Rs. 100, and
Rs. 10 of that goes into R&D.

210
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,160
So, Rs. 90 is your EBITDA.

211
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,080
No! I...

212
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,320
- What else is left?
- What else?

213
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,080
My EBITDA is Rs. 75.

214
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,720
We will figure out Rs. 15.

215
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,800
How much cash do you have
in your bank?

216
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,520
Rs. 2.75 crores.

217
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,440
Tell me one thing,
Anousha and Shreyansh.

218
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Everything is going well.
The business is doing good.

219
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,280
You've nailed marketing.

220
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,360
You are doing marketing,
the products are great,

221
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,160
and you're seeing the demand.

222
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,160
There's growth happening,
and D2C is performing well.

223
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,880
What problem could you face
in the long term in this business?

224
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,800
I won't say it is a problem.

225
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,640
It's evident what we
weren't able to clear.

226
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,360
We haven't ventured into D2C.

227
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Your challenge will be the
market size, which is very limited.

228
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,120
- If I need to spend
Rs. 100 daily... - This is premium.

229
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:51,880
On hair and skin improvement,

230
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,800
how many people in India
can afford that?

231
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,760
You are selling it for Rs. 3,000.

232
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,640
- It cost Rs. 450 to make it.
- Yes.

233
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,320
The gross margins are unheard of.

234
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,200
- If I am your competitor...
- Yes?

235
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,960
- And you have many competitors.
- Yes.

236
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,560
I will buy this product for Rs. 450

237
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,120
and sell it in D2C for Rs. 1,000.

238
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,960
That is how I will scale.
Why would I...

239
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,240
You won't have any
foundation left to compete.

240
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,960
We have exclusive technology.

241
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,400
Contractual by the manufacturer.

242
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,160
- He's the only manufacturer who's
building it. - No!

243
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,080
This is made in India.
But the US company

244
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,200
- will distribute it to everyone.
They've done trials. - They will.

245
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,240
So, the molecule is the secret,
not the manufacturer.

246
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,480
No! This capsule is a probiotic.

247
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,240
The release is delayed in your
intestines, not in the stomach.

248
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,720
It doesn't get broken down by acid
because of the technology.

249
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,240
It's a coating of LCLT

250
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,120
You are spending Rs. 450
on marketing.

251
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,960
- Is this all on D2C?
- No, sir.

252
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,480
Where are you spending it?

253
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,560
You can say, we also include
listing fees

254
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,560
for offline channels.

255
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Out of Rs. 450, how much
do you spend on D2C?

256
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,200
In D2C, my cost of acquisition
is Rs 600.

257
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,240
- Because it is being pushed.
- Correct.

258
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,000
You are giving a lot of margin.

259
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,760
Around Rs. 1,600, plus listing fee.

260
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,360
This makes it very profitable
for them.

261
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,200
They're bringing in
more income than

262
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,200
what they get from each
customer for a treatment.

263
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,120
In the online space,
if we look at the churn,

264
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,040
it will be quite high.

265
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,360
- The adherence in such a category
is quite low. - Yes.

266
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,200
And in this situation, you'll have
to keep pushing the customer

267
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,760
- to continue making purchases.
- Yes.

268
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,680
You said you need to use the product
for around 5-6 months

269
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
and then take a break.
A customer will rarely

270
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,720
keep paying Rs. 3,000.

271
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240
- This is not the only
product they are consuming. - Yes.

272
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,200
They are consuming
more similar products.

273
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,760
They are also consuming
prescribed medicines.

274
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,880
There are a lot of expenses
in a household.

275
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,680
As the scale goes up, you mentioned
it will touch Rs. 14 crores.

276
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,840
When it becomes around
Rs. 40 crores,

277
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,760
you will see that there is no money
left to grow the business.

278
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,000
Offline, the toughest profession

279
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,040
to convince to
give their patients...

280
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,480
We are talking about Tier 1,
the crème de la crème

281
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,160
dermatologists and cosmetologists.

282
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,960
Convincing them,
bringing scientific dossiers,

283
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,480
hiring people, conducting research

284
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,760
and doing actual testing,

285
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,720
all to educate the customers.

286
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Shreyansh, stop right here.

287
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,240
- I have been quiet
for quite some time. - Okay!

288
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,360
I absolutely agree with Kunal.

289
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040
I've been running a derma division

290
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,000
for the last 15 years at Emcure.

291
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,640
I know how things
operate in several clinics.

292
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,560
The product is for Rs. 3,000
and the clinic gets Rs. 1,800.

293
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,600
That is a very big incentive.

294
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,680
You call them dispensing clinics.

295
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,680
That is the reason why the sales
are happening.

296
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:03,200
And the day you reduce
this attractive margin,

297
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,560
that is their revenue,

298
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,880
your sales will drop by 50%.

299
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,880
I disagree with the notion that
this product is being pushed.

300
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,560
I want to invite you to visit
Kaya Skin Clinic,

301
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,680
Apollo Pharmacy and ask them
about Beautywise's collagen...

302
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,440
But Kaya already has
their products now.

303
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,760
- Ask how their selling experience
has been. - Only collagen capsules.

304
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,120
What is their level of knowledge

305
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:29,040
and how it has benefited
their customer.

306
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:33,200
See, Shreyansh and Anousha, you
achieved sales of Rs. 14.5 crores.

307
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,360
- My compliments to you.
- Thank you!

308
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,520
I really like the packaging and all.

309
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,040
You know, the way you've
designed the capsule.

310
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,480
You are gorgeous at 40.

311
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,720
You are the best brand ambassador.
Get on Instagram and explode it

312
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,600
- as the face of the company.
- Thank you!

313
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,280
- But unfortunately, I know
this space really well. - Right!

314
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:55,640
And that's why it's important
to implement the insights

315
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,120
and guidance I shared with you.

316
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,000
We also have supplements
in our D2C brand.

317
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,720
- But we are not saying weight loss.
- Yes.

318
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,440
So, for these reasons, my comfort
level is a bit low with the product.

319
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,600
For today, I am out.

320
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,480
- But I wish you the best.
- Thank you so much.

321
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,240
- Thank you for the valuable
insights. - Thank you!

322
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,880
Shreyansh and Anousha. Firstly,
I really like you, Shreyansh.

323
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,200
Your depth of understanding,

324
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,120
like how you're
thinking strategically

325
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,360
- about building a profitable
business. - Thank you, ma'am.

326
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,880
And your product
understanding is truly fabulous.

327
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Because of the fact

328
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,680
that the cost of making is so low,

329
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,200
right now, this category
with so much competition

330
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,720
is ripe for disruption.

331
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,200
So, someone will come along
who will do direct-to-consumer,

332
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,040
eliminate middlemen,

333
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,640
educate everyone online,

334
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040
and sell a product that costs
Rs. 450 for Rs. 1,000.

335
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,120
And make it
a Rs. 1,000 crore business.

336
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,720
If you don't pivot soon...

337
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,680
- If we don't pivot. - How to create
a differential line for clinics

338
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,880
- and a differential one for D2C?
- Yeah!

339
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,040
- Yes. - But think about that.
I am out for now. Good luck.

340
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,640
We will be that
Rs. 1,000 crores brand.

341
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,640
- Will that be you?
- Absolutely!

342
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:03,520
There is one thing I am
still debating in my mind,

343
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,800
which is that while it has
significant benefits

344
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,680
- and you said that there are
no side effects. - Yes.

345
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,680
You know that this is never
completely true.

346
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,560
Everything has consequences.

347
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,760
- I think I will still take
a bet on you. - Oh!

348
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,360
- But with a condition.
- Yes.

349
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,440
We will carefully review
your clinical trials again

350
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,400
with due diligence

351
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,640
- to understand their implications
and study them thoroughly. - Right!

352
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,400
But the valuation will remain
the same as in your previous round.

353
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,840
Rs. 1 crore for 2.38%.

354
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,040
I think you are one of the smartest
founders.

355
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:54,040
Your first smart move was

356
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:56,880
to take exclusive rights
to your technology.

357
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,640
You moved to offline.

358
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,840
I don't agree with Vineeta, Namita
or Kunal.

359
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,480
If you pay the retailer,
he will sell your product.

360
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,760
I mean, what is the issue?

361
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,520
You are making the money and
so are they. I am fine with that.

362
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,040
In the beginning, new companies
have to do all this.

363
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:16,400
That's a very smart move.

364
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,600
- You played it smartly.
- Thank you so much.

365
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,200
And I'll tell you
where I can help you.

366
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,720
I want you to reduce
your marketing spends

367
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,880
by spending more on the brand.

368
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,120
- Yes! - So, my offer to you
is a closure offer.

369
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,960
Rs. 1 crore 3%.

370
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,400
We need to focus a lot
on brand building.

371
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,280
Since the strength
you've built in your channel

372
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:47,360
so far needs to be solidified, and
a moat has to be created around it,

373
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,240
ensuring that no one can
replace you in the future.

374
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,320
- Yes! - If you want to reduce
your marketing costs for online,

375
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,520
- you need to create a brand again.
- Absolutely!

376
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,880
I have good experience
in brand building.

377
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,960
I have invested in many companies
that have become huge brands.

378
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,200
So, I have an offer for you.

379
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:14,240
I will invest Rs. 2.15 crores at
your last round's valuation for 5%.

380
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,400
We have a counteroffer

381
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,960
and that is open for everyone.

382
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,920
Rs. 3 crores
at a Rs. 50 crores valuation,

383
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,400
Deal? Deal accepted?

384
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,320
I am also okay with Rs. 3 crores
at Rs. 50 crores valuation.

385
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,560
Rs. 3 crores at 6%.
You can say, 'deal accepted'.

386
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,520
Deal accepted, Aman.

387
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,760
- Yes!
- Rs. 3 crores.

388
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,560
Because I flipped the cart.

389
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,000
[laughing]

390
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,400
- Because he what? What did he say?
- There we go.

391
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,280
I flipped the cart.

392
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,160
- Good job!
- Thank you so much.

393
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,400
We are going to do fabulous
work with you.

394
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,960
- We are very excited.
- So excited!

395
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,280
You guys are smart!
You chose the smart Shark.

396
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:27,480
[laughing]

397
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,840
See you! Bye!

398
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,120
Honestly, we came to raise
Rs. 1 crore

399
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,800
but ended up raising Rs. 3 crores.

400
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,160
- And that too...
- At a brilliant valuation.

401
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,720
- And that too from my favourite
person, Aman. - Yeah.

402
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,480
The conviction that Aman showed us
is also crucial.

403
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,080
It shows that the investor
truly believes in your brand

404
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,040
and is willing to help us
when we need it.

405
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,280
- We got that kind of vibe
from Aman. - Exactly!

406
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,960
Hello, Shreyansh and Anousha.

407
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,160
- Hello!
- How was the experience?

408
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,840
- It was amazing!
It was like a thriller movie. - Oh!

409
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,920
- They started fighting.
- Yes.

410
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,920
Oh God! It was fun.
We kept saying 'yes'.

411
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:12,640
- how can we be better?
- Come on, Aman! Correct everyone.

412
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,800
- Thank you!
- Amazing! They were...

413
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,880
It was the best possible
scenario for you.

414
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,240
- Right! - Yes, absolutely!
We were here to seek Rs. 1 crore,

415
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,800
but we got Rs. 3 crores
and we have Aman with us.

416
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,800
So, we are very happy
and very satisfied.

417
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,400
- Just saying, you
were here for Rs. 1 crore. - Yes.

418
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,360
So, let me borrow the rest.

419
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,160
I need it.

420
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,560
The thing is, with me,

421
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,000
- no matter what I wear...
- Right!

422
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,960
I can't show that
I have the money.

423
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,560
- Understand? That is the issue.
- Yes.

424
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,720
- This is the issue.
- The poor mindset,

425
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800
I still can't shake
the poor mindset.

426
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,320
- But...
- Oh God!

427
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,000
- Amazing! It was amazing!
Your energy was great. - Thank you!

428
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
- You should celebrate, so I thought
of having something sweet. - Yes.

429
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,040
- But you are health
conscious, so... - Oh my!

430
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:56,880
Let's look for healthy options.

431
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,960
I opened Swiggy Instamart
and I found the options.

432
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,240
It was delivered in 10 minutes.

433
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,360
- Wow!
- Oh, wow!

434
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,080
- Thank you so much!
- Thank you!

435
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,200
This is for you.

436
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Great! Let's have something sweet

437
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,120
- with Swiggy. - Sure! I ordered
healthy ice cream and sweets.

438
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,400
- Amazing!
- Let's eat together.

439
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,160
- We should! Let's eat together.
- Done!

440
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,640
Friends, don't suppress your
desires. Order what you want.

441
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,160
You have one life, so enjoy it.

442
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,160
Order from Swiggy Instamart.

443
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,200
You get everything here and it
gets delivered in 10 minutes.

444
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,240
Order now!

445
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,000
[theme music playing]

446
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,720
Bengaluru, Rahul!
We are from Bengaluru.

447
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,360
You must be wondering, how can Rahul
forget his city's name?

448
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,640
Or, if you've met people a few
times and forgotten their names,

449
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,360
please raise your hands.

450
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,880
Looks like the room
is cognitively strong.

451
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,040
But let's tell you
a little bit more about it.

452
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:39,360
Now, let me tell you something.

453
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,880
This is all a part of normal ageing.

454
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,000
This means that
your cognitive skills

455
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,480
like attention, memory and focus

456
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,520
decline with age.

457
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,680
But these things that look normal,
might not be so normal.

458
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,960
After the age of 40,
the human brain shrinks

459
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,720
by 5% in volume every 10 years.

460
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,640
we call it mild cognitive
impairment or MCI.

461
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,040
In advanced stages,
it can lead to dementia.

462
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,400
Much like pre-diabetes
comes before diabetes,

463
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,520
mild cognitive impairment is
the stage that precedes dementia.

464
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,320
That's why it's very important
that all of you

465
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,000
get your cognitive assessments
done regularly.

466
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,600
That is why we bring to you Ivory.

467
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,120
Ivory is a neuroscience-based
gaming app

468
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,480
which assesses your cognitive skills

469
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,200
and helps maintain and track

470
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,360
your cognitive health.

471
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,880
and reviewed by our clinical team,

472
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,520
which includes medical doctors
and neuroscientists.

473
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,040
From our recent product
launch, we discovered

474
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,880
that people are prepared
for this product.

475
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,360
On average, spends more
than 10 minutes on our platform.

476
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,400
To conclude, Sharks,
if you can get your liver,

477
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,600
kidney, and heart checked,

478
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,880
don't forget to have your brain
tested as well.

479
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,680
Because every moment counts
when it comes to memories.

480
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,080
I am so happy!

481
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,840
My compliments
to Issac and Rahul.

482
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,000
You are raising awareness

483
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,520
about such a crucial topic.

484
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,640
By learning Sudoku,

485
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080
new languages, and
musical instruments,

486
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,200
we can boost our
cognitive health.

487
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,160
- Neuroplasticity, right?
- Yes!

488
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,680
Rahul and I were
raised by single parents.

489
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,320
My parents separated very early,
I was brought up by my father.

490
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,920
Rahul lost his mother
when he was in his early 20s.

491
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,880
- Sorry to hear. - My father was
diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

492
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,880
- which do not have the ability
to reverse the condition. - Correct.

493
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,960
I was working in Mumbai and Delhi.

494
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,040
My dad was in Kerala.
I've witnessed this problem.

495
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,680
Rahul has had his experiences.

496
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,280
Can you tell us where you worked
in Mumbai and Delhi?

497
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,760
Also, what are your qualifications?

498
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,120
I worked as Head of Marketing
for Puma.

499
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,760
Issac, what did you do before that?

500
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,040
Before that, I worked
in a sports marketing company.

501
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,320
And prior to that, I was
the Sales Manager for HT Media.

502
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,640
We've met.

503
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200
- We met at the Okhla office.
- Many years ago.

504
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,640
Okhla office of Snapdeal?

505
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,960
- Of Snapdeal. Yes!
- Yeah!

506
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,880
They used to be one of our
biggest customers.

507
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,520
- Okay, fantastic!
- Oh, for Puma?

508
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,760
- Yes.
- Rahul!

509
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,520
I spent my childhood in Kerala.

510
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,960
Post grade 12, I moved to
NIT Rourkela for my graduation.

511
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,800
It was for Mechanical Engineering.
But I had no interest in it.

512
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,080
Back then, I had an interest in
coding, and there was an IT train

513
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,760
during placements.

514
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,440
I got on one of those trains
and I never looked back.

515
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,200
I worked at IBM for 4 years.

516
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,080
After that, I did my MBA

517
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,800
from SP Jain School
of Global Management

518
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,320
at Singapore and Dubai campuses.

519
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,240
And I also decided that I needed to
be closer to him to look after him.

520
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,120
So, I decided to shift
my career there

521
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,880
and for four years I was working
in Dubai.

522
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,520
My work primarily involved
account management roles.

523
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,880
But my heart was always in tech.

524
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,560
During that time, I got married,
so I returned to India.

525
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,840
I've been working in India
since 2015.

526
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,080
I always aspired
to be an entrepreneur

527
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,360
because of all the success stories
in the Indian market.

528
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,680
A program was starting in India
for the first time.

529
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,360
Basically, it's a co-founder
matching program

530
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,680
for people like Issac
and me to meet.

531
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,520
- What are you saying?
Did you both meet in a program?

532
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,560
- Yes.
- Both of you were strangers.

533
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,440
We met each other in 2022
for the first time.

534
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,040
I never heard of such a program.

535
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,640
The Antler platform was open,

536
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,040
It's organic. They don't say,

537
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,600
'Rahul is best for you.'

538
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,160
- No! There is no course.
- There is no course connect.

539
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,600
- That is not the case.
- That's incorrect.

540
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,800
Was there anyone else from Kerala?

541
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,600
You're right, Aman!
The first thing we connected over

542
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,360
was our love for Kerala food.

543
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,440
Something common...

544
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,800
- Yes!
- That is one common string.

545
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,600
- There are multiple other...
- Could it be your family

546
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,400
- situation? - Exactly!
That was a very big common factor.

547
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,960
Findyourcofounder.com could be
a new business.

548
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,400
- 'Cofoundergetsmarried.com'.
- Yes!

549
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,680
Why Ivory?

550
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,200
Ivory because it's a very resilient
element of nature.

551
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,480
It's also a hat tip to the state
both of us come from.

552
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,080
Elephants! Kerala!

553
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Okay! Tell us how Ivory
came to be.

554
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,200
The irony is that both of us

555
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,120
contracted Covid
during that week at Antler.

556
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,440
- Really? - So, we couldn't
meet anyone else.

557
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,240
That is when I came to know
that Rahul

558
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,920
wants to make a product to connect
grandfathers and grandchildren.

559
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,240
I told him that I wanted to make
a product for family remembrance.

560
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,680
Because when my father passed away,

561
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,680
I had very few memories
to go by.

562
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,200
So, that is how our
conversation started.

563
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,880
We thought that our
target group was the same,

564
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,440
so we should give it a try.

565
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,040
Our first year was
full of failed experiments.

566
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,280
Back then we didn't have funding.

567
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,680
We regularly launched
our product concept,

568
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,280
ran tests on Facebook, and
checked if people were ready to pay.

569
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,120
We did a story-writing program

570
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,480
and a painting program.

571
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,360
We taught Sanskrit to people
and solved their tech problems.

572
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,880
Everything for 55 years and older.

573
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,240
As we continued, we eventually
moved towards wellness.

574
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,960
We held an open Q&A session
with a neurologist one day

575
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,520
and it turned out to be our
highest-attended session.

576
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Around 25 people showed up
and we charged them.

577
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,760
When we asked why they attended.

578
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,800
They told us their memory
was declining.

579
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,840
"Why does this problem exist?"

580
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,080
"I've seen it in my family."

581
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,280
"I've seen a friend.
We don't want it to happen to us."

582
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,000
That's when we realised
there was a need for this product.

583
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,600
It meant there was
a demand constraint.

584
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,800
When we went a little deeper,

585
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,240
we realised the West was
more advanced than us at all this.

586
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,280
They have cognitive testing,
cognitive gaming,

587
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,440
neuroscience assessments and others.

588
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,560
This happens in India
only on pen and paper.

589
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,440
Then we realised we needed
to head in this direction.

590
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,680
So, this is for everyone.

591
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,040
- You recommend this for anyone
who is above 40 years old. - Yes.

592
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,200
- Not just for those families.
- What is this though?

593
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,680
- Give us a demo. Let us
understand in detail. - Yes, please.

594
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,440
The moment you log in to the app,

595
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,360
you'll see simple games, puzzles
as well as brain workouts.

596
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,840
We encourage users to first create
a cognitive profile.

597
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,200
There's a very simple test
with five neuroscience-based games.

598
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,200
In this game, you need to click

599
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,440
on the biggest number
or the biggest circle.

600
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,640
However, the instructions
constantly keep changing.

601
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,720
It will measure
your processing speed and accuracy.

602
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,280
Let's make this simple game
a little bit more complex.

603
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,720
In this, the user has
to use both their fingers

604
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,400
to do two tasks at once.

605
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,680
This measures
their divided attention

606
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,880
or their ability to multi-task.

607
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,840
Once you finish the test,

608
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,360
we'll tell you your actual age
and cognitive age.

609
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,240
- Oh, no!
- And more importantly,

610
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,320
we tell you which of your domains
are doing well.

611
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,560
This is the free app.

612
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,920
Our paid product is
an FDA-registered assessment

613
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,640
- Just Q and A.
- Self serve.

614
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:42,800
No, not Q and A. This...

615
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:43,960
The tests I showed you...

616
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,680
- For Rs. 1,600 and Rs. 2,200.
- Yes.

617
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,200
That comes with 17 games

618
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,960
and is preferred
by working professionals.

619
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,560
They don't need to speak to anyone.

620
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,800
They see the report, understand it
and are done.

621
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,840
When do neuropsychologists
come in the picture?

622
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,560
We identified a demand
among older people.

623
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,200
They want to speak
to a qualified neuro counsellor

624
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,600
to help them
interpret their results.

625
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,440
- So, we currently have two SKUs.
- Okay.

626
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,920
Do you make your own native games
or hire a third-party publisher?

627
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,120
We're both MBA graduates.

628
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:12,480
If we had to offer
a complete gaming solution,

629
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,040
we'd have taken a couple of
million dollars and a lot of time.

630
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,120
Here's what we did.

631
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,360
We engaged with a partner

632
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,120
who is renowned for creating

633
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,160
neuroscience-based games
and assessments.

634
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,800
The name of the partner is CogniFit.

635
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,640
They have
an FDA-registered assessment.

636
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:25,720
Do you pay them?

637
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,040
We made a free deal with them
in the first year,

638
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,400
but going forward,
we've to give them a license fee.

639
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,000
So, the games are theirs.

640
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,840
No, there are three types of games.

641
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,240
One is assessments
which measures specific skills,

642
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,320
which is theirs.

643
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,200
Then we have free playing games.

644
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,200
We have about 50 games

645
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,120
out of which we bought
and customised around 12 games

646
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:50,120
and currently offer them,

647
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,120
which are
lesser cognitively inclined

648
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,040
- but also neuroscience calibrated.
- Alright.

649
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,920
The other games which... Um...

650
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,440
We have actually
borrowed it from them

651
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,560
to start testing
which game does better.

652
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,120
- On the basis... - So, more or less,
all the content is theirs.

653
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,560
- That...
- 70%.

654
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,440
- 70% is currently theirs.
- Yes.

655
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,320
After that, you could have
another monetisation stream

656
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,560
where you can offer classes
to people who want to improve.

657
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,080
Or you can offer a marketplace
for products.

658
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,600
Why didn't you offer services

659
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,720
and products post the assessment?

660
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,680
That's phase two which is underway
and it'll launch in February.

661
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,680
- So, that is in the plan!
- That's in the plan.

662
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,800
Good.

663
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,200
Do you have a live case

664
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,360
who you might have helped
or someone who might've benefitted?

665
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,800
Yes, we do. Nowadays, people
complain they forget things.

666
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,800
Our counsellor probed them.

667
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,280
They said, "Actually, the last time
my daughter visited,"

668
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,760
"I could not recognise her."

669
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,640
That is the strongest sign.

670
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:53,760
- Of Alzheimer's.
- I mean,

671
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,960
that is one of
our proudest accomplishments

672
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,880
that we were able
to immediately send them to...

673
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,120
- He happened
to casually mention it. - Oh!

674
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,240
And these are the kind of things
people wait for until the end.

675
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,600
And we've had
three such extreme cases.

676
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,280
Out of the 150 customers
that we have paid-serve,

677
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,560
we've sent three of them

678
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:15,240
on a purely clinical, neurological,
radio-imaging pathology path.

679
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:18,960
- Just by looking at your app...
- Yes?

680
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,360
No one can say what you're into.

681
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,480
Have a tagline or you should...

682
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,400
Actually, I thought this was
an edtech app for kids.

683
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,160
- No, we take that feedback
on board. - Yes.

684
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,280
These are early days for us.

685
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,400
When was your app launched?

686
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,440
- May. May 2024.
- Okay.

687
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,880
There is a set
of brain training apps

688
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,120
which you must have heard of.
Lumosity, Peak and others.

689
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,400
Those are brain training apps.

690
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,320
Their target segment is people
between 15 to 35 years

691
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,560
which are more
productivity-oriented audiences.

692
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:50,440
Our thesis is

693
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,240
that we use brain training
as a means

694
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,800
and as a support to enhance
your cognitive abilities.

695
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,840
Typically, our target customer
starts from 35 itself.

696
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,280
Let's talk about business.

697
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,200
What's your scale
and what were your revenues?

698
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,120
The average time spent
is 10 minutes.

699
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,560
It is 500-600 on average.

700
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,960
It is basically 13-14% currently.

701
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,240
One thing, Vineeta.

702
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,600
Our app is not a daily use app
as per our recommendation itself.

703
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,560
- Do the training three times
a week. - Brain workout.

704
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,200
we actually had about
over 1,000 downloads.

705
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,200
- Other than that...
- Yes.

706
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,280
We're in conversation
with diagnostic chains

707
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,560
where our app can actually have
a completely complimentary offering

708
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,400
to all their other
annual health check-ups.

709
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,000
We have an LOI from a hospital chain
from North India

710
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,440
Right now, we only have a few.

711
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,880
- How many?
- Because... Three.

712
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,600
That's too less.

713
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,600
We're not making it too
neuroscience and health-related

714
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,160
as we want to keep the problem
very relatable.

715
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:40,240
We want them to...

716
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,400
They should not think twice
before coming to this app.

717
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,840
No one will download the app
on their own and play this game.

718
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,280
How will they look for you?

719
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,400
Focus puzzles, attention puzzles,
memory games...

720
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,320
People search for all this on the
Play Store or App Store nowadays.

721
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,280
I'm sure to check this...

722
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,680
Hospitals and
preventive healthcare professionals

723
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,480
- must have a mechanism to check it.
- They don't.

724
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,360
They must be checking it
before even playing your game.

725
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,920
That happens in the West, Aman.

726
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,600
In India, it happens
on pen and paper.

727
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,480
- What do you mean?
- Are you saying

728
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,120
no one else in India
does this kind of computer testing?

729
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,040
- On the app.
- As of today, no.

730
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,600
In the private world, no.

731
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,800
There are NIMHANS and ICMR

732
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,320
but who's downloading them?

733
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,720
- No one is.
- And yours either!

734
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,040
Today, we've got
over 5,000 cognitive profiles.

735
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,360
Aman, I can tell you
this is more than the data

736
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,240
that IIT Mumbai, NIMHANS and others
have on digital set.

737
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,640
- If you detect them...
- Yes.

738
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,080
The doctors will start their work.

739
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,160
It'll be gone from your app.

740
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,160
Let me answer this clinically.

741
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:39,760
Dementia has seven stages.

742
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,720
If you use our app for the first,
second and third stages of dementia,

743
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:44,920
then there's a good chance

744
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,560
that Ivory can actually be
a partner in that journey.

745
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,040
Of course, if you're
in stages four to seven,

746
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,600
then Ivory is not
the solution for you.

747
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,200
No other app
is the solution for you.

748
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,840
- We... - I'm saying
I will not come back to the app.

749
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,080
I'm saying that once detected,
I'll do only what the doctor says.

750
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,080
Non-Ivory world scenario.

751
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,560
The doctor visits after six months
for a check-up

752
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,200
and asks you,
"What all did you do?"

753
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,160
There is no way

754
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,120
the neuropsychologist
can actually monitor

755
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,760
what he did in the last six months.

756
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,080
The caregivers aren't able to say

757
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,000
if the parents went for a walk
or not.

758
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,680
Understood.

759
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,000
Issac and Rahul!

760
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,120
I think in this business,
on the spectrum,

761
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,600
either you're too early

762
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,000
or the product-market fit
is lacking.

763
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,360
Like your DAU to MAU ratio
which is 10%

764
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,440
should be at least 30%.

765
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,200
- Then it will seem like
those who need it... - Fair.

766
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,000
They are coming regularly.

767
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,080
Absolutely.

768
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,360
Neither the effectiveness
nor the monetisation is clear

769
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,160
as the business is
only six months old.

770
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,880
However, the purpose of the business
is very noble.

771
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,440
My parents, thankfully,
are healthy in mind and body

772
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,000
but I will have them
download your app

773
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,160
and see where

774
00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:56,480
their cognitive abilities
are currently at.

775
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,440
I will track you
and I hope you do really well.

776
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,480
- Today, I'm out. All the best.
- Thank you, Kunal.

777
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,120
There was Isaac Newton who made
a name in science

778
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:06,800
but you'll make it in neuroscience.

779
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,160
Well said!

780
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,800
- Well said!
- [laughter]

781
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,440
It's good. The line is good.

782
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:13,720
- Thank you.
- It's different.

783
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,640
I feel the biggest problem is,

784
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:19,560
once the assessment is done,
they don't part with the money.

785
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,080
[tense music playing]

786
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,960
You said you just began
with the monetisation.

787
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,720
Whether you do it now, earlier
or did it two months ago...

788
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:28,960
I don't know when you did it,

789
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,200
but no matter when you do it,

790
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,560
you'll see that people
don't want to pay.

791
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,280
Unfortunately, in India,

792
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,560
monetisation in this line
looks a bit tough.

793
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:38,880
My second problem is

794
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,960
the over-dependency
on the foreign company.

795
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:42,640
Make a few games yourself.

796
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,800
If they ask for Rs. 1 lakh
instead of Rs. 25,000,

797
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:45,720
you'll have to give it

798
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,200
- as you don't have an option.
- Yes.

799
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:48,880
You're overdependent on their games.

800
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,200
Prove the monetisation
because it's really tough

801
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,440
and change this.

802
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,200
Unfortunately, I'm out for now.

803
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,800
Thank you.
You've been kind to us.

804
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,840
In this business,
the success isn't in the result,

805
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:01,320
but in the endeavour.

806
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,520
So, you must persevere.

807
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:04,640
I believe that

808
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:08,840
you need to deprioritise
your gaming experience.

809
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,920
- You have no right to win there.
- Hmm.

810
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,200
- Many games exist in the market.
- Hmm.

811
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,600
You need to go headfirst
into assessments

812
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,720
because as you said,
no one's in that market.

813
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,960
If you wish to keep the gaming
for engagement, go ahead.

814
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,960
If it is a success,
I won't charge you any royalty.

815
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,040
[laughs]

816
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,280
I'll join you in the valuation
of the next round. No problem.

817
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,000
And like to support you.

818
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,480
Today, I am out.

819
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,040
Sure.

820
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,960
A lot of investors
would do this to me.

821
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,880
They'd say,
"If you change your model to x..."

822
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,680
"I don't like what you're making,"

823
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,120
"but if you switch to that,
I'll surely invest."

824
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:49,720
And then, you never go back
to that investor.

825
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,120
[all laugh]

826
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,760
I'll come find you.

827
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,360
Look. The awareness is so high.

828
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,640
People undergo regular tests
concerned with their biological age.

829
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:01,120
- Cognitive age is just
the next thing. - Hmm.

830
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:02,760
And if you see,

831
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,080
this is an above-40 product

832
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,840
but we all said we'll get
our parents to do the test.

833
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,560
We won't do it
because this won't happen to us.

834
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:12,560
It will, but after 30 years.

835
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,800
This is a global problem,

836
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,240
and whatever
the global solution to it,

837
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,280
that might be a competition for you.

838
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,000
As this is early,
for that reason I'm out.

839
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,080
- Best of luck.
- Yes.

840
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,760
Issac and Rahul!

841
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,640
How would you rate your pitch?

842
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Was it a good pitch?

843
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,840
- I would say...
- Four Sharks are out.

844
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,000
What do you think?

845
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,040
See, we did our best.

846
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,520
We told you everything
very honestly.

847
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,520
- Look, all of us here are Sharks.
- Yes.

848
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,760
What do Sharks care about the most?

849
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,160
- The path to monetisation.
- Sure.

850
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:56,440
- Right? Your phase two...
- Yes.

851
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:57,880
It should have been storytelling.

852
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,680
"We'll go to diagnostics.
We'll acquire customers."

853
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,640
"We'll partner with eldercare people
like Emoha and all"

854
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:05,880
"and we'll get customers."

855
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,440
"We'll get them to do
these assessments."

856
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,880
"They'll think, "Oh my God!
My score is so low."

857
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,040
"Then they'll meet
a neuropsychologist."

858
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,880
"Then we'll provide them
a solution."

859
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,960
"Online meditation classes,"

860
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,920
"online group classes
for language learning,"

861
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000
"also medication."

862
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,840
- There are a lot of supplements.
- Yes.

863
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,120
And then the third monetisation,
like you mentioned, clinical trials.

864
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:30,720
The second part about monetisation,

865
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,040
Had you elaborated it in detail

866
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,920
and highlighted its potential,

867
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:41,200
then people wouldn't be so stuck
on the pre-revenue part,

868
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,120
- which you currently are.
- Sure.

869
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,280
My mind says...
Even though I'm a healthcare expert,

870
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,480
my mind says I'm out,

871
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,880
but you know, to me...

872
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,640
I was very sad for a while
in between.

873
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,800
This is an extremely personal issue
for me.

874
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,400
A very close relative of mine
is in her early sixties.

875
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,160
And I just thought of her
and almost teared up

876
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:03,240
because

877
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,320
she has early Alzheimer's.

878
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,440
[poignant music playing]

879
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,680
And you know, I have some of
my best memories with her.

880
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,600
To think that she can forget me...

881
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,400
[poignant music playing]

882
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,680
It is very personal for me.

883
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,280
So, I'm going to take a bet on you.

884
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:36,600
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

885
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,000
Okay! And this is for her.

886
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:44,960
Oh, we have to make this work.

887
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,560
Okay, we will.

888
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,000
I'm willing to give you
Rs. 50 lakhs for 5% equity.

889
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,640
Can we take that Rs. 50 lakhs
to Rs. 1 crore for 5% equity?

[tense music playing]

891
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,920
Issac and Rahul,
four Sharks are out.

892
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:15,600
I was out too.

893
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,640
I'm being very honest with you.

894
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:22,000
It requires a lot of work.

895
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,360
Be it the logo, monetisation,

896
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,480
figuring out the right games,
on-boarding...

897
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,720
I mean, I can go on and on.

898

00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:41,760
- Yes.
- Done!

901
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:42,840
- Let's take it.
- Lovely.

902
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,720
So, thank you for taking this up.

903
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,320
- Thank you.
- Thank you for this.

Welcome to ACKO Change Makers
where we really welcome change.

909
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,840
You can see a beautiful portrayal
of it on our Change Makers wall.

910
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,200
Through modern advancements
and smart techniques,

911
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:21,720
we're empowering change

912
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,560
and today's Change Makers
are Issac and Rahul.

913
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,440
- How are you?
- Very good.

914
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,080
- Good? How was the experience?
- Yes.

915
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,880
It was quite different
than what he and I are used to.

916
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,800
Normally, our pitches
are closed-room.

917
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,480
So, this was quite different.

918
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,800
- The conversation went in a totally
different direction... - Yes.

919
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,200
Than what we had expected.

920
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,360
But it was obviously
a great experience.

921
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,760
You're doing a great job

922
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,640
by helping in the early detection
of cognitive impairments

923
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:53,760
using game solutions
and smart techniques.

924
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,200
It's a very good step.

925
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,120
We appreciate the change
that you're bringing.

926
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,040
I wish to ask a question
on behalf of our audience.

927
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,440
What changes could they bring about
in their daily lives

928
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,120
to better their cognitive health?

929
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,400
Cognitive health doesn't comprise
brain training alone.

930
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,600
It is also about looking after
your physical health,

931
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,160
maintaining your sleep
and stress management

932
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:17,160
and simultaneously building
your cognitive reserve.

933
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,840
Cognitive reserve can be built

934
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,480
by playing games
or learning new things.

935
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,440
It's a mixture of these four things.

936
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,280
If they want an immediate start,

937
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,560
they can go on Ivory app
and make a fresh start.

938
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,960
Hundred percent. Why not?

939
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,440
Thank you so much for that answer.

940
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,360
You're bringing about a great change

941
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,800
just as ACKO,
with its revolutionary offerings,

942
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,320
is changing the insurance landscape.

943
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,280
Now, stop dealing
with unknown agents.

944
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,640
Know your insurer.

945
00:48:41,720 --> 00:48:42,880
Have faith in ACKO,

946
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,840
the trusted choice
of lakhs of Indians.

947
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,240
They've settled
over 3 lakh car claims.

948
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,960
We appreciate your change.

949
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,240
And for your time on the show,

950
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,320

[theme music concludes]

967
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,360
Sharks, there are three groups
at every party.

968
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,160
One is the group
that loves to dance.

969
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:10,240
The second loves to take selfies

970
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,360
and the third
and the most important one,

971
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:13,720
is the group that loves to eat.

972
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,200
The only thing they care about
at a party is the food.

973
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,240
If the food rocks, so does the party

974
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,640
but if the food's bad,
then so is the party!

975
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,200
And the discussion on food

976
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,080
has been going on in my family
for the last 76 years.

977
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,440
So, it's safe to say

978
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,520
that a little Dal Makhani
runs in my blood!

[all laugh]

980
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,240
Sharks, we understand

981
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,160
that food is the life
of every party and gathering.

982
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,840
However, we also understand

983
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,880
that for casual occasions,

984
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,880
for instance cooking for
a get-together of 20 guests

985
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,760
leaves the host drained trying
to honour everyone's preferences.

986
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,840
Either they cook
in the kitchen themselves

987
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:50,720
or order food online

988
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,920
and serve their guests cold
and soggy food.

989
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,840
If you decide to hire a caterer,

990
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,760
they sever ties with their friends

991
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,440
after listening
to the rate per plate!

992
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,120
We won't let them
end their friendship so easily.

The House Party by Savar.

must be wondering,

00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,480
- what's so special about us?
- Correct.

doesn't need all this

1006
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,840
and only needs food and waiters?

1007

We only charge according to
the quantity of food and services.

that loves food.

is now ready.

1015
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,720
Can we dig in?

1016
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,240
- Yes, please. - Let me
welcome them first, Mr. Glutton!

1017
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,760
The food will turn cold, please.

1018
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,400
Okay, all right.

1019
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,800
It's nice to meet you
and nicer to see Butter Chicken!

1020
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:49,960
Are the recipes yours?

1021
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,560
- Yes, my grandfather's.
- Savar.

1022
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,240
This is normal.
What's special about it?

1023
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,360
This is another brand
of ours Num Yum.

1024
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,520
This is a nibble platter.

1025
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:00,880
Smells very good.

1026
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:06,120
- The paneer...
- Yes.

1027
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,320
- I love the paneer.
- Thank you.

1028
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:09,800
What paratha is this?

1029
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:11,280
Malabari Parantha.

1030
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:12,400
It's delicious.

1031
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,080
[light-hearted music playing]

1032
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:23,120
Either the food's delicious
or we're famished. Which one?

1033
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,240
The food is delicious.

1034
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:25,400
[laughs]

1035
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,800
I was the only glutton earlier.
Then Kunal joined the Tank.

1036
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:31,800
Guys, this...

1037
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,520
Nobody took the Martban Meat...

1038
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,280
I guess you didn't, Aman.

1039
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,720
It is outstanding.

1040
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,880
It's our favourite too.
Thank you so much.

1041
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,600
If you order this combination,
generally, it's very spicy.

1042
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,120
This is a good balance.

1043
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,120
Tiramisu is my favourite dessert.

1044
00:53:47,240 --> 00:53:49,080
I would rate it 8 on 10.

1045
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,760
- It's okay, he's grumpy.
- It is good.

1046
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,880
The world's 10 on 10
is his 8 on 10.

1047
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,040
Yes! "He's grumpy!"

1048
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,480
- Anyway, Savar and Tanisha, right?
- Yes.

1049
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,240
- You mentioned your family
is in this business. - Correct.

1050
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,520
I'm assuming that must
have been your inspiration.

1051
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:06,960
So, tell us about that.

1052
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,360
I was born and brought up in Delhi.

1053
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,280
- I studied in Modern School.
- Okay.

1054
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,920
- I joined my family business
which is of restaurants. - Hmm.

1055
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,480
- My grandfather started it...
- Wow!

1056
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,120
- In Connaught Place in Delhi.
- What's the name?

1057
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:25,120
- The Embassy Restaurant.
- Embassy...

1058
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:26,880
Oh, my! That's amazing.

1059
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,680
- Num Yum is yours.
- Yes.

1060
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,240
- So is Embassy.
- Hmm.

1061
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:32,760
THP by Savar is yours too.

1062
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,400
So, right now,
you're here only for THP.

1063
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,040
- THP and Num Yum.
- Yes and Num Yum.

1064
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,160
This is under the same umbrella.

1065
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:44,040
Num Yum is just additional boxes
that we launched.

1066
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,120
Again, where you can't reheat

1067
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:47,840
and need to serve the food
right away,

1068
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,920
Enlighten us on the differentiation.

1069
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,720
I personally know at least 10 people
in Delhi who are doing this.

1070
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,160
Everybody's food is good.

1071
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:00,960
What's your differentiation?

1072
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,000
The main factors
are your price points,

1073
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,000
services and trust.

1074
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,520
And when I lend my name to it
and also give the recipes,

1075
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,920
I intend that it should sell.

1076
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,280
What's special about your name?

1077
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:14,680
If you know Embassy,

1078
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,320
- I am...
- It's Savar's, not Embassy's.

1079
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,600
Yes, but it co-relates.

1080
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,880
Fine, I feel by lending your name
to your company's logo,

1081
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,360
you're upholding a tradition.

1082
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,840
But how is he upholding a tradition
if the tradition is not there yet?

1083
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:29,800
We'll get to that, Aman.

1084
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,160
Um... Sorry, Aman.

1085
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,440
- So...
- How about we get to it now?

1086
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:35,640
- So...
- Why not Embassy?

1087
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,160
- That was Dad's...
- Because it is not...

1088
00:55:39,240 --> 00:55:40,440
I mean, it still is,

1089
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,240
but I want to be known
because of me.

1090
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,200
- Are you estranged
from your father? - Not at all.

1091
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,320
- If Embassy...
- I'm a partner in Embassy.

1092
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,200
- There is no... - If you go
with Embassy, won't it help?

1093
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:50,600
Won't you get more customers?

1094
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,800
- No, because...
- Can I take this question?

1095
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,600
Sir, Embassy, as you know
is a 76-year-old restaurant.

1096
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,400
They have a select few recipes

1097
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,400
that people have savoured
for 50 years.

1098
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,400
They wouldn't allow
to even tweak the recipe.

1099
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:05,480
Got it.

1100
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,120
- Can we show you a run-through?
- Okay, go ahead.

1101
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,920
90% of our business
comes from Instagram.

1102
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,280
- and we have over 232 thousand
followers on Instagram. - Oh, wow!

1103
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:23,520
Are you serious?

1104
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:24,760
When we receive your order,

1105
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,560
a form is immediately
sent out to you,

1106
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,440
the information of which
you give us.

1107
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,800
Then our dashboard,

1108
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:35,360
our menu experts,
start processing your order.

1109
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,920
You did it for order management
but it was not needed.

1110
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:38,840
WhatsApp is enough.

1111
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,160
Sir, we're dealing with
about 500 leads a day.

1112
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:42,960
Do you get 500 leads on average?

1113
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,240
- During Diwali time...
- During season time...

1114
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,880
then how is customisation helpful?

1115
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,600
But our pricing, generally, if you
see compared to other caterers...

1116
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:04,080
Here, it says Rs. 38,000
for 20 people.

1117
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,040
That's for the non-vegetarian menu.

1118
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,000
But Rs. 1,500-2,000 in Delhi
and Mumbai

1119
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,040
for a proper catering like this
is not too cheap.

1120
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,520
Our target audience
is middle-class and above.

1121
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,680
Plus, we're giving the set-up
and everything.

1122
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,280
We don't want to market ourselves
as cheap caterers.

1123
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:24,080
No, you said your differentiation
was pricing.

1124
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,000
- Not pricing, the calculation.
- So, if the budget is...

1125
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,280
If the calculation is different
but my expenditure is the same,

1126
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:30,960
- it's the same thing
for the consumer. - Hmm.

1127
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,480
You need to understand
the consumer's problem.

1128
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,720
If you hire a caterer,

1129
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,400
normally you have an option
in the starters and main course.

1130
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,200
Two plus two, three plus four...

1131
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,320
That's how the bifurcation is made.

1132
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,200
But no one will tell you this
if you've invited 20 guests.

1133
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,160
You could use your crockery,
I won't charge you for it.

1134
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,360
Your pricing is inclusive
of everything in that Rs. 38,000.

1135
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,840
If you use your house staff,
the cost of waiters comes down.

1136
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,880
If you use your own bowls, the cost
of chafing dishes comes down.

1137
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,360
Will you provide catering
for 20 guests in Rs. 5,000?

1138
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,440
If the budget is Rs. 5,000,
order our Num Yum boxes.

1139
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,280
That's why we made platters

1140
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,040
which range from about Rs. 1,100
and go up to Rs. 1,800.

1141
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,040
Our two-year vision is
to do 5,000 parties a year

1142
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,920
- Sales.
- Yes, so...

1143
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,400
Start with the revenue
from 2022-23 onwards.

1144
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,240
Around Rs. 1.23 crores.

1145
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:36,320
Then 2023-24, Rs. 3.68 crores.

1146
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,040
To date, that is October,

1147
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,320
we have already done
close to Rs. 3.6 crores.

1148
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,480
Projected sales for the year?
The season is still not over.

1149
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,080
- Aiming around Rs. 6 crores.
- To close at around Rs. 6.5 crores.

1150
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,080
It has been an average
between 27 to 30%.

1151
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,200
Net profit.

1152
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,120
We didn't do our taxes.
We reinvested that into the company.

1153
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:54,760
You must have invested it
into equipment.

1154
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,880
- Yes, and we opened a kitchen
in Mumbai. - Plus a new kitchen.

1155
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,520
- So, the EBITDA margin must be 30%.
- Yes.

1156
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,600
And the PAT margin will be 0%.

1157
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,520
No. I declared between
Rs. 12-15 lakhs last year.

1158
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,800
How much did you invest in kitchen
equipment and the Mumbai setup?

1159
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,720
Rs. 25 lakhs.

1160
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,840
So, if you did EBITDA last year...

1161
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,720
You must have done
at least Rs. 70-80 lakhs, right?

1162
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:16,880
We have cash in the bank.

1163
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,400
I mean, we prefer
to be tax-efficient.

1164
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,160
Basically, by showing
your household expenditures,

1165
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,240
which is okay for you.

1166
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,480
What about an investor
who carries out due diligence?

1167
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:32,800
What proof will you give me

1168
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,320
that you're a 30% profit business
and not 3%?

1169
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,680
We'll show you
our reinvestment bills.

1170
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,960
- Again, the reinvestment is only
Rs. 20-25 lakhs. - See, that's also...

1171
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:44,440
Rs. 25 lakhs in Mumbai.

1172
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,640
No, how will the expenses
be verified

1173
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,280
- because...
- I will tell you.

1174
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,760
How much cash is in the bank
right now?

1175
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:57,360
Approximately Rs. 45 lakhs.

1176
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,000
Why should we invest in you?

1177
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,280
I have always been interested
in starting a business

1178
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,840
that has longevity,

1179
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,760
profitability
and is in the expansion mode.

1180
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,320
How will you expand this?

1181
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:10,600
What's your vision?

1182
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,000
We want to start operations
in all the metros first.

1183
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,960
With the investment
we're trying to raise,

1184
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,000
we plan on opening offices
in five other cities.

1185
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:19,920
And value-wise?

1186
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,600
In the next three years,
we wish to do 5,000 parties.

1187
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,400
- 5,000 parties multiplied by...
- 30,000.

1188
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,560
- How much is that?
- My math is weak.

1189
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,240
It can't be that weak!

1190
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:31,800
It's Rs. 15 crores.

1191
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,840
- Is that all you will do?
- In the next two years, yes.

1192
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:36,920
Don't you enjoy this?

1193
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:39,920
The vision looks small.

1194
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,920
We've kept it small
so that it is relatable.

1195
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,880
We haven't taken any investment yet
and have invested our own money.

1196
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:49,360
No, we can.

1197
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,520
We've learnt all the concepts
from Shark Tank like burn, term...

1198
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:57,080
So, from day one we wanted to
build a company which is profitable.

1199
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,720
- First of all, thank you for
the food. It was good. - Thank you.

1200
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,840
But I am out for now.

1201
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,160
My problem is that you are
in the business of hunger management

1202
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,360
but I don't see the hunger in you.

1203
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:13,920
We're very hungry.

1204
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:15,920
It's not like that, we're hungry

1205
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,640
and not just Rs. 1,000 crores,

1206
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,120
if we dream big, we'd want
to take this to Rs. 10,000 crores.

1207
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,080
We get inquiries from Dubai
on Instagram to this day

1208
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:24,400
in high volumes.

1209
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,520
And even in the US
or London markets,

1210
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,040
but I'm not exploring that now.

1211
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,720
I want to keep my ground held.

1212
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,280
I agree but I can't feel it.

1213
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,240
I am out for this reason now,

1214
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,120
but we'll meet sometime later.

1215
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,040
You're in Gurugram.
Let's see how you fare.

1216
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,800
Savar! Tanisha!
The food was delectable.

1217
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,240
I believe you possess hunger

1218
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,160
You could have joined that

1219
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,120
but you decided
to do something different

1220
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,800
and make that successful.

1221
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,400
I like your chemistry,

1222
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,280
obviously, you're husband and wife,

1223
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,240
but as co-founders,
I like your chemistry.

1224
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,560
- Thank you. - You are
complementing each other well.

1225
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,640
This could be a great business,

1226
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,960
but I believe
there's a scalability challenge.

1227
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,320
For this reason, I'm out.

1228
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,120
Okay, Tanisha and Savar.

1229
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,160
This isn't
an investible business now.

1230
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,960
Regardless of
the price calculations,

1231
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,240
3,000 parties amount
to a business of Rs. 9 crores

1232
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,800
- and a profit of about Rs. 30,000
on average per party. - Yes.

1233
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,880
This isn't a price differentiation.

1234
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:35,400
Secondly, the tech.

1235
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:39,760
Such basic tech is not
a real differentiation.

1236
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,320
And thirdly, it's important

1237
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,760
that there be clear data
to facilitate due diligence.

1238
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,680
Then the business will rely
majorly on the trust factor.

1239
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,080
Believing whether
it is a 30% or 3% profit.

1240
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,560
My suggestion to you is

1241
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:57,560
to make high profits.
This is a good business,

1242
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:58,680
but don't raise funds.

1243
01:02:58,760 --> 01:02:59,760
Okay? I'm out.

1244
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,760
I think the biggest challenge I see
is two areas.

1245
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,760
Number one, the TAM is not
such a large pan-India number.

1246
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,360
And the second issue is what
I told you about in the beginning.

1247
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:11,720
When there are spikes,

1248
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:13,360
a labour problem arises.

1249
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,200
Somewhere in the service level,

1250
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:22,720
- Before you say...
- As a business,

1251
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,920
couldn't become a pan-India brand.

1252
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,240
For today, I'm out.

1253
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:27,560
Just before you say something,

1254
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,200
Chandigarh is a franchise outlet
that we're opening in December.

1255
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,960
Ours is a FOCO model,
Franchise Owned Company Operated.

1256
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,520
- Will you run it? Send your staff?
- Yes, we will.

1257
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:37,840
This business segment, I believe,

1258
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,680
offers significant
long-term opportunities.

1259
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:42,560
Let's take a closer look.

1260
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,800
Your business
can be Rs. 10,000 crores

1261
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,240
or it can be Rs. 5,000 crores

1262
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,000
I also believe

1263
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,320
you should expand
on the wedding opportunity

1264
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,400
that you initially passed out on

1265
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,600
because the result
is disproportionately different.

1266
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,040
For instance,
we run a wedding-related business

1267
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,320
where we host 60,000 weddings
in a year.

1268
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,480
Our single biggest challenge

1269
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,200
is to bring in
a standardised catering partner.

1270
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,200
I can be of help to you.

1271
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,480
I'll invest Rs 50 lakhs
for an equity

1272
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:20,720
of 7.5 per cent.

1273
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,720
I'll give you an additional
Rs 50 lakhs as debt

1274
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,960
for 10 per cent
per annum of interest.

1275
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,120
But apart from that,
it should be immaculate.

1276
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,280
I don't want discrepancies

1277
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:48,160
Can we?

1278
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,200
Yes. I already told you to go out.

1279
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,080
Let's tell him
to go more for equity.

1280
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,880
Let's offer 5 per cent
instead of 7.5 per cent.

1281
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:03,200
No. Let's ask him for Rs 70 lakhs
for 5 per cent equity.

1282
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,520
We are delighted

1283
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,240
- to have gotten the offer.
- She goes straight to business.

1284
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:18,800
Tanisha gets right down to business.

1285
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,640
She's a lawyer, after all.
Hospitality is my department.

1286
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:23,440
No. I love both things.

1287
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,720
It shows you're
an ideal combination.

1288
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:26,880
Yeah. That's true.

1289
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,080
Tanisha, go on.

1290
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,480
Rs 70 lakhs for 5 per cent equity,

1291
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,840
and the remaining
Rs 30 lakhs as debt.

1293
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,640
I'll invest Rs 50 lakhs

1294
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,360
- for an equity of 5 per cent.
- Okay.

1295
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,120
Along with that,
Rs 50 lakhs will be a debt

1296
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:47,640
at 9 per cent for three years.

1297
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,960
Rs 50 lakhs
at 8 per cent will happen

1298

- He's an ideal partner for us

1303
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:32,720
as it's a complementary business,

1304
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,800
and he already owns
many hotels and kitchens.

We can expand pan-India tomorrow
with him on our side.

- Hello, Savar and Tanisha.
- Hi. - Hi.

Welcome to our PokerBaazi zone,

I think ours would be
the growth phase.

1316
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,840
- I'll tell you about an incident
related to it. - Yes.

There was nobody in Delhi
to work at that time.

1406
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,480
Hi, everyone. Welcome to
Ask the Shark with me, Sahiba.

1407
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,880
the true pronunciation of Pune.

1408
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:20,080
Did I do it right?

1409
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:21,880
You absolutely did. Congratulations!

1410
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:23,800
Thank you. It's, of course,
Namita Thapar,

1411
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,560
the Executive Director
of Emcure Pharma. Hello!

1412
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:27,720
Hi, Sahiba.

1413
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,760
You know several viewers
have sent questions for you.

1414
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:32,360
Today's question

1415
01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:34,920
is by Vivek Singh,
who is 28 years old,

1416
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,920
- from Katni, Madhya Pradesh.
Interesting! - Okay.

1417
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,480
the per tablet or per capsule rate
of Indian tablets

1418
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,120
is very cheap,

1419
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,600
especially for lifelong diseases

1420
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:09,320
like statins for cholesterol
or those for diabetes.

1421
01:13:09,480 --> 01:13:11,320
We're some of the cheapest globally.

1422
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:14,600
A warning here is that the concept
of generic tablets is on the rise.

1423
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,720
Instead of a brand name
from a trusted company,

1424
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,280
there is a substitution
at the chemist's level.

1425
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,920
They tell you that these are cheap,

1426
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,160
as low as 10 per cent of
the other product for substitution.

1427
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:29,640
But please buy it mindfully

1428
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:34,080
because many times,
their manufacturing facilities,

1429
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,160
and the raw materials
are unaudited.

1430
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:41,000
We don't know whether
they're following GMP or not.

1431
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:42,760
So, beware of that.

1432
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,520
Regarding your second question,
how do we decide the rates!

1433
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,080
It depends on the product.

1434
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,080
Your product might have
a scientific USP,

1435
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,360
With newer questions
and another shark,

1436
01:14:28,440 --> 01:14:30,880
I'll see you again on
Ask the Shark.
