Season 1 of Shark Tank India swept people across the country with a craze that has not been seen before. The reality show has been helpful to a lot of entrepreneurs who got investments for their companies, start-ups, and ideas.

Participants, such as Jugaadu Kamlesh, solved an issue bothering farmers with its multi-purpose cart that can help farmers plow, sow, and water their fields. We have seen some of the most inspiring entrepreneurs on the show so far. However, some absurd business ideas were regarded as unnecessary and bizarre by both sharks and viewers as well.

Sippline- mask for a drinking glass

Poo De Cologne - fancy toilet spray


Mumbai-based woman, Aditi Talwar introduced a toilet spray ‘Poo De Cologne’ which was infused with essential oils. The spray was used before and after using the toilet to suppress the unpleasant smells.

According to sharks, the product didn’t have the leg to work in the Indian market and was a bit expensive.

Ayurvedic ice cream


Gopal’s 56, an ice cream firm, offers a wide range of fiber ice creams, including ayurvedic. According to the contestant, the ice cream would help in losing weight because of its pre-biotic components.

Tween In One - a reversible clothing range


Niti Singhal, the founder of the company presented an innovative fashion concept. She had created a convertible and reversible clothing line in which each outfit could wear in two different ways. Sharks gave mixed reactions, and they said the product was highly-priced for the Indian market.

Aglio e Olio Maggi - burger Maggi


Rahul Daga and Arpit Kabra, the founders of Hungry Head, pitched their innovative Maggi-based food products such as burger Maggi, Aglio e olio Maggi, and pani puri Maggi. While the sharks appreciated their food and loved the taste but this Maggi concept failed to impress the sharks as they thought the concept was not much interesting enough for the investment.
