He's spent five seasons as a "Guest Shark" on the show.He also founded snack maker Kind in 2004. The brand became known for its snack bars and was acquired by Mars, the company that owns Snickers candy bars and Juicy Fruit chewing gum, in 2020. The deal reportedly <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mars-wrigley-buys-kind-north-america-valued-around-5-billion-2020-11">valued Kind at $5 billion.</a>In an interview with Business Insider, Lubetzky pointed to a quality he looks for in the founders pitching him on Shark Tank.Founders often pitch with everything that's going well with their business, Lubetzky said. But he also looks for frank assessments of what they're struggling with, he added.The founders of one of Lubetzky's investments, an arepa brand called Toast It, provided an example when they appeared on a Shark Tank episode that aired last year. Sisters Coco and Mafe Cabezas said they came to the US from Venezuela and founded the food brand in their spare time.It was clear that they had "an enormous amount of passion," Lubetzky told BI. But during the episode, Lubetzky and the other Sharks asked the Cabezas about their plans to improve their company's margins.Coco and Mafe acknowledged the challenge of making food products profitable. They also pointed to their efforts to cut packaging costs and plans to save money on ingredients."When I asked them tough questions and they had some areas where they were not perfect, they said, 'Yeah, this is our area of opportunity,'" Lubetzky told BI. He ended up striking a deal with the sisters, paying $150,000 for a 20% stake in Toast It.Acknowledging shortcomings like that shows introspection, he said."And for me, that's one of the greatest values, not just for an entrepreneur, but for human beings," Lubetzky said. "If you can criticize yourself and evaluate what you're not doing, you can get better."Season 16 of Shark Tank will premiere on ABC on October 16 at 8 p.m. ET.

Founders should do this surprising thing more often in pitches, Daniel Lubetzky, the newest 'Shark Tank' addition, says

<ul class="summary-list"><li>If the person you're dating makes you choose between them and your business, pick your business.</li><li>Kevin O'Leary told that to a startup founder whose fiancée was threatening to leave him.</li></ul>If the person you're dating forces you to choose between your business and them, you should probably cut them loose, Kevin O'Leary says.The "Shark Tank" star was teaching a class some years ago when a college student posed that exact dilemma to him, O'Leary recalled in a clip from the "Impaulsive with Logan Paul" podcast that was recently posted on his social media.The student said he was running a software business from his dorm with $5 million in annual free cash flow. "I don't hear a problem," O'Leary quipped."That's not the problem: My fiancée came to me today and said that she's going to leave me," the student said. She was upset because he wasn't spending any time with her family and wasn't free on weekends, he explained. "I just can't because I'm so busy and I've got to keep my business going, I've got to graduate my degree. What do I do?"The rest of the class waited in rapt silence for his answer, O'Leary recalled. "Wow. OK. I'm not Dr Phil but let me give you some advice here: Which one is easier to replace — the girlfriend or the business?"The celebrity investor said the student had to ask himself that question as he was "making $5 million and every woman in this class now knows this. I'm going to guess that if you can't work this out, you're going to just do fine.""She's not the right person if she's not <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dating-couple-started-business-failed-relationship-married-2024-3">supportive</a> of this journey you're on," O'Leary continued. "You're obviously going to be wildly successful, you're going to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/quit-my-job-start-company-with-boyfriend-break-up-2023-12">get somebody else</a>."O'Leary said his blunt advice sparked a 45-minute debate about how people value their time and what's important to them. He argued that entrepreneurs should seek out partners who <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starting-business-with-partner-strengthened-relationship-2024-6">understand and support</a> what they're doing "because that's ultimately how you're going to be personally free one day."The business guru known as "Mr Wonderful" said he would have loved to check on the student a couple of years later. "I bet you he's making a fortune, and I'm sure he's got plenty of options."O'Leary told a similar version of the tale in an interview clip he shared in June on LinkedIn. In this telling, the student said he worked every weekend and through the night so he had no time for his fiancée, and she had given him an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ultimatums-in-relationships-dont-work-experts-explain-why-2023-8">ultimatum</a>: choose her or his business."Listen, let's be pragmatic about this," O'Leary replied. "Which is easier to replace? Your business, or your fiancée?"The Canadian multimillionaire has doled out plenty of memorable advice over the years. He's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/shark-tank-kevin-oleary-personal-finance-couples-combine-accounts-wealth-2024-9">warned</a> couples not to combine their finances, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/shark-tank-kevin-oleary-family-business-loans-relatives-debt-personalfinance-2024-9">cautioned</a> against lending money to family, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/shark-tank-kevin-oleary-marriage-family-children-kids-wealth-advice-2024-9">urged</a> people not to wait too long before getting married and having kids, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-oleary-shark-tank-investing-lessons-mother-chanel-personal-finance-2024-9">recommended</a> buying fewer but higher-quality products with greater resale value.

Mumbai, D'chica's, a brand that curates puberty-essential products tailored specifically to the needs and preferences of teen girls, has bagged a deal of Rs 80 lakhs with <keyword id="20292047" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="namita-thapar" source="keywords">Namita Thapar</keyword> and Vineeta Singh on the new episode of '<keyword id="19913228" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shark-tank-india" source="keywords">Shark Tank India</keyword> 3'. In a bid to propel D'chica to new heights of success, its co-founders, Richa Kapila and <keyword id="20348209" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vani" source="keywords">Vani</keyword> Chugh from Delhi made a debut on the business reality show. From stylish bras and period panties to fashionable athleisure and footwear, the brand strives to empower young girls during their crucial teenage years with its meticulously crafted collection. Bound by both family ties as sisters-in-law and a shared passion for business, Richa and Vani, the founders of D'chica, embarked on a new entrepreneurial journey after facing setbacks with their previous venture focused on infants and toddlers. Despite the challenges that led to the closure of their initial business, the sisters-in-law remained undeterred. Instead, they embraced failure as a powerful teacher, drawing invaluable lessons from the experience. In 2019, they founded D'chica, a brand committed to celebrating the transition from adolescence to womanhood. They launched their first inner wear collection in 2020. Through their determination and hard work, Richa and Vani transformed D'chica into a brand that resonates with the Alpha and Gen Z generations. On the show, they asked for Rs 80 lakhs in exchange for one per cent equity. Amit Jain, CEO and co-founder of CarDekho Group, asked: "Do you do the manufacturing yourself or have you given a contract to someone for it?" Richa replied saying, "We currently have five manufacturing units which we operate out of." After seeing the products, <keyword id="20380308" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="namita" source="keywords">Namita</keyword> Thapar, executive director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd, said: "Dr. Garima is a new angel (pointing to the packaging)." To which the founders replied: "Dr. Garima is a consulting gynaecologist with us. We have onboarded a gynaecologist whom customers can reach out to for guidance. We do it for community building." Finally, they sealed the deal with Namita and Vineeta (Co-Founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics), at Rs 80 lakhs for two per cent equity plus one per cent royalty until the sum is recouped. Sharing her excitement on being a part of the 'Shark Tank India', Vani Chugh, co-founder D'chica Fashion Lifestyle Private Ltd, said: "Shark Tank India helped our teen and young women inner-wear brand D'chica reach millions of Indian homes and create mainstream conversations about subjects as taboo as periods to common youth issues like body image and confidence." "With our body adapting bras, reusable period panties and chafing-free underwear D'chica is laser focused on the fast growing market of 12 crore plus girls," she added. 'Shark Tank India 3' streams on Sony LIV.

<keyword id="20115473" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ashneer-Grover" source="keywords">Ashneer Grover</keyword>, known for his blunt persona on the Indian edition of Shark Tank, has once again found himself embroiled in a controversy, this time involving a popular comedy roast.

Grover recently featured on "<keyword id="21736600" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pretty-Good-Roast" source="keywords">Pretty Good Roast</keyword>," a show hosted by comedian <keyword id="21736601" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aashish-Solanki" source="keywords">Aashish Solanki</keyword>. During the episode, Solanki made light of Grover's tumultuous exit from BharatPe — a topic that has been a hot-button issue ever since Grover and his wife were ousted from the fintech startup in 2022 amid allegations of financial impropriety. The roast, which included jabs at Grover’s departure from his own company, quickly became a viral sensation. However, the humour did not sit well with Grover. He reportedly demanded the removal of the segments featuring these jokes and subsequently sent Solanki a <keyword id="20476156" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="legal-notice" source="keywords">legal notice</keyword> to take down the entire episode. Solanki complied, announcing on Instagram: "Friends, I have removed the Ep 5 of Pretty Good Roast. I don't have money to fight the legal battle. I had spent all of it on the show," he stated, highlighting the financial strain legal actions can impose on independent creators. Solanki also expressed his disappointment, noting, "The response on previous episodes led us to believe our audience were ready for roast humour. However, it seems that some, especially those in power, are not quite there yet." This incident has triggered a wave of backlash against Grover, with many accusing him of "<keyword id="20415529" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="doglapan" source="keywords">doglapan</keyword>" (duplicity). The term gained popularity during Grover’s stint on <keyword id="19913228" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shark-tank-india" source="keywords">Shark Tank India</keyword> and even became the title of his book, "Doglapan: The Hard Truth about Life and Start-Ups." Social media users were quick to point out the irony of Grover, who once prided himself on his no-holds-barred attitude, now seeking to censor comedic content. <div type="twitter" handle="samratsingh23" handlename="samratsingh23" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1792498229701161312"></div> <div type="twitter" handle="memes_hallabol" handlename="memes_hallabol" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1792750542655295852"></div> The controversy draws attention to Grover's complex public persona. After his high-profile exit from BharatPe, Grover pivoted to content creation, leveraging his fame to build a substantial following on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and various podcasts. He has even claimed that he has made more money through content creation than during his tenure at BharatPe. Despite his success as a content creator, Grover’s latest actions have sparked a debate about the boundaries of humour and criticism, especially concerning public figures. The legal threat against Solanki underscores the precarious balance comedians must navigate when their satire targets influential individuals. As the dust settles, one thing is clear: Ashneer Grover remains a polarising figure. His journey from a controversial entrepreneur to a content creator and now to a central figure in a comedy roast controversy reflects the multifaceted and often contentious nature of public life.

Way before platform economy became a buzzword, Mittal built a platform for Indians seeking life partners. And even today one million Indians find their partners on shaadi.com every year. Call him the OG of startups or a serial entrepreneur, he is a man who does not mince words. In a free wheeling chat with Business Insider’s Malini Bhupta, Mittal talks about unfair trade practices of Google, his investment in Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal and what he thinks is the biggest achievement of Shark Tank India. Edited Excerpts: With some high profile startups like Paytm and Byju’s coming under lens, what do you think is wrong with the startup ecosystem? I think the Paytm issue is a little different. There are two issues there in my view – one is valuation. The company came out with its IPO at the height of the unicorn boom and as a result, their valuation was corrected when the pvt. market corrected. This is part of the pricing game and one can hardly blame them for it. Eventually, they would have grown into their valuation is what I believe. However, the second issue which is regulatory in nature is far more serious. Whether it is justified or not I don’t know. I think there is a little heavy-handedness here as what you are talking about is a payments bank KYC stuff being the reason to shut them down, which could be seen as over-reach since they are not a significantly important lending institution. Talking about what is wrong with India’s ecosystem and why founders are behaving badly is a common issue that occurs when there are high levels of greed. When there is massive liquidity in the system people think they can take advantage of the situation. In the US you have seen Theranos, crypto frauds and an industry that was created around SPACs. Billions of dollars have been lost on that. What is happening in India is a small reflection of that. Greed manifests in two ways – one is the founders who are ambitious who see the ecosystem celebrating unicorns and that gets weaponised. Over time a few start with minor refractions and very soon they start fabricating revenues and manipulating auditors to keep up with the image that has been created. They are riding tigers they can't get off. The venture capitalists too want to see their investments being marked up as their future fund raises depend on the portfolio's net asset value and so they play along and at times actually drive the founders at a velocity that is unsustainable. I think they need to be held accountable by their LPs. Auditors have a very important role here and are perhaps the ones who need to pay the highest price through government censures. They are market participants who have been entrusted with a certain job for which they get paid hefty fees. When they start looking the other way, the system breaks. You have been waging a pitched battle against the unfair trade practices of Big Tech companies in India. What, in your view, are the steps that need to be taken by the government to prevent such unfair practices by large global players? Fundamentally the experience of the internet is through apps – two companies control the entire app ecosystem Google and Apple. Both operate with complete impunity. Two years ago the CCI passed an order against Google around <keyword id="963171" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="google-play" source="Orion">Google Play</keyword> Billing System (GPBS). Now they have changed the name to User Choice Billing. If you look at the order CCI says there will be no discrimination at all. Being on the App Store means nothing unless you advertise on Play Store. Startups spend anywhere between 10-50% of revenue on advertising on these platforms already. Essentially, the app store is worth nothing if you don’t have content. What choice does a company have but to adhere to their unfair practices… Now they say that any transaction that happens on apps downloaded via the store will be subject to 15-30% tax/commissions. What this means is that they want 50% of the revenues of the startups. It is the new East India Company and they operate with complete arrogance and impunity. The problem is in getting these companies to comply. Their strategy is to stretch out the legal process and tire the system. Our government and regulators have the right intent but sometimes democracies are messy. As a government, we have to ensure that nobody becomes the gatekeeper to our economy which is what these companies are trying to do. There should be penal provisions for anybody who abuses the law or twists and turns it while violating the very spirit of it. Non-compliance with judicial orders is contempt of court and so there is an opportunity to send a very strong message. These bullies need one arm chopped off in the form of penalties, a rap on the knuckles will not work as they are too big to care about a couple of hundred million in penalties. What is the biggest achievement of Shark Tank, which has now become a huge hit in India? In life timing is everything. Shark Tank’s first season was in December 2021, which was the peak of the startup hype cycle, and it demystified the whole conversation around startups and funding. Shark Tank has become a catalyst for driving entrepreneurship and giving it legitimacy. India is a land of entrepreneurs with every second person running some small business, many from home. A decade ago, if you told someone you are an entrepreneur, you would be told to come back when you get serious. The show has played an amazing role in celebrating entrepreneurship and the startup ecosystem. A lot of companies have done very well. About 8-10 companies that got funded in Shark Tank are doing very well out of 180 companies that came to the show. This is an early stage game and will play out the same way. When you invest in 100 early stage companies, 4-5 will do very well and help recover the investments and some will become very big. A majority will fail. What I found amazing was that the companies that came to the show were not the elites who came from IIT or IIM. These are small businesses founded by housewives and family members. Entrepreneurship is not the reserve of the few. The next decade will be defined by Indian entrepreneurs globally and so there is no better time to be an entrepreneur than now. Shark Tank has put belief in every Indian that they can do it and that changes the game. Many of the founders that come to Shark Tank can do even better than the founders who have come from an IIT or an IIM. I believe that these people understand commerce and ‘dhandha’. The elitist founders are used to being served everything on a platter. Many professionals who come out of large companies or consulting firms cannot start without large funding. Out of the 100 unicorns we have, many will spectacularly fail in 2024 as they were built on the wrong foundations. These companies were built on a template of Ivy League founders and old school networks and so they got funded. Of the businesses that come to Shark Tank, what sectors can do well and stand a better chance of being funded? Indians now have the same aspirations as people in other parts of the world. Anybody who comes in and can bridge the gap between aspiration and affordability will do well especially in lifestyle. For example - Companies in the clothing and jewellery space will do well if they can deliver high aspiration at a value pricing. Last year a company called Snitch came with a revenue of Rs 60 crore and is now doing Rs 250 crore in sales. A company called Skippy, which makes ice pops was funded on Shark Tank too and has a run rate of Rs 50 crore from a few lakhs before ST. I funded a company called Sharmaji Ka Atta which has a revenue run rate of Rs 20 lakh a month in less than 12 months from less than 1 lakh. Another one called Whatsapp Wellness just got funded by HUL. Fundamentally, companies that can build premium products but don’t break the bank on affordability in categories like fashion, lifestyle and food will do well. People read labels now and the young generation is focused on what they are eating. Beauty and wellness products will do well as a secular trend for most of our history Lakme meant beauty, that’s how unbranded we were. Do you feel Shaadi.com is still relevant after Tinder and other dating apps came about? Let’s understand why Tinder is used, it is for hookups and is struggling to grow its revenue in India. Shaadi.com is not an arranged marriage platform. Shaadi.com is a planned marriage platform. Indian culture has four stages of life and marriage is one of the life stages. When you are planning to marry you look for compatibility and it is not about a chemical reaction. On Shaadi.com the family and parents collaborate to find a partner. The old community networks are now dying and we replace those networks. We are bringing together people in the same life stage to find a like-minded partner. The hook-up sites don’t do that and don't understand the Indian ethos. They are applying the same global model to India which does not work beyond a certain point. You were the original internet entrepreneur with a disruptive product. Why did you not create a large business that went on to become a decacorn or a unicorn? It depends on how you define success. If the definition is labels such as decacorn and unicorn, then that's not the game we are playing. Those are vanity labels that I would rather not pursue. Our definition of success is value creation and we are long-term compounders, much like Berkshire &amp; LVMH, so in a sense our ‘overnight’ success story is still waiting to become obvious to the world. From that lens, our ROCE is perhaps the best in the industry we have only ever raised about $20 mn but created several billion in value between our operated and invested cos. Our investee companies employ thousands, have raised over $20 bn and will go on to create $100 bn in value over time, in the bargain generating tremendous wealth for the country and hopefully for us too. We boast an IRR of 52% consistently for more than a decade which is extraordinary by any standards and a testament to our approach and story. Many people build businesses but we were fortunate to create entire industries such as online matchmaking via Shaadi.com, which we still run; proptech company Makaan.com which we sold to NewsCorp very handsomely; India’s first &amp; still the largest digital ad agency, Interactive Avenues, which we sold to IPG at a benchmark price that is yet to be crossed; India’s first mobile gaming company, Mauj Mobile which spawned a massive industry. So, whether it is our customers, employees, shareholders, the country or society at large, I think we have already impacted 10s of millions and while we don’t have a market listed entity like Jio or TCS to show for it, we have delivered massive national and global level impact. Keep in mind that we are most often the first to check into investee cost and every company we have founded has been the first in its industry. Our innovations have generated billions of dollars in wealth and given rise to innumerable founders and entrepreneurs who have learnt at our companies and gone on to build massive companies of their own. Further, I am still very young and the Indian opportunity is only now unfolding. In the next couple of years, you will see some of our other bets in space exploration, mobility real edtech, &amp; sustainable fintech come into the limelight besides something very special we are building on our own. So, in short, I still remain the OG and if you force me to use your labels we have birthed not one or two but several Unicorns &amp; Decacorns and that too with very limited capital. It is perhaps one of the most spectacular untold stories of value creation in the digital economy. Ola is one company that is headed for an IPO and you own 2% in the company. How did that happen? When we invested in Ola, there was not much of a concept of venture funding and the company did not have any suitors so we were able to get in at a very attractive valuation and hold an extremely healthy minority stake which obviously has been diluted over time. I think the network effects are so large that it is hard for others to get into it. I am still a shareholder and looking forward to the initial public offering. I invested in 2012 and when I met Bhavish first, I did not understand the problem he was solving as I live in Mumbai where cabs are available. So I did not think there was a problem. A few days later when I was in Delhi and needed a cab, I was told that they would call a taxi stand. After I came back from Delhi, I realised there was a problem everywhere. And I used to call the call centre and Bhavish used to answer the call centre, which showed me his commitment and reminded me of myself when I had started and so I invested.

True to their nature, they also picked a lot of winners who were able to gain business, funding along with publicity from screen time – that has helped many D2C brands in particular. Redseer Consulting, in a recently released report, has found that 27 startups that appeared on season 1 of the show secured funds from external investors. ”Most startups that appeared on the show secured deals 6 times greater in value from outside investors within a span of 1.5 years. Their current valuation is also 2.5 times greater than what they were valued on <keyword id="15913368" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shark-tank-season-1" source="Orion">Shark Tank season 1</keyword>,” said Kanishka Mohan, partner at Redseer Consulting. In season 1, as many as 117 pitches were made, out of which 65 of them accepted deals on the show, 20 rejected deals and 32 were not offered a deal at all. All these sections of startups, received a fair amount of interest from external investors. Six startups which were not offered a deal on the show like — On2Cook, Theka Coffee, Good Piggy Bank, Sabjikothi and Nushka were able to secure deals outside. “In all, most startups that appeared on the show fared well afterward, securing better deals and increasing valuations,” the consulting firm said. Who’s the biggest shark? As much as ₹100 crore was invested in startups that pitched their ideas on Shark Tank season 1 and 2 by eight sharks. And the shark with the most appetite is Aman Gupta, the founder of BoAt who invested ₹24.6 crore across 70 deals. He is followed closely by Peyush Bansal, the co-founder and CEO of Lenskart who invested ₹21.5 crore across 67 deals. The most active shark of season 1 who missed the second season is Ashneer Grover, the co-founder of BharatPe, who invested ₹5.3 crore in 21 deals. Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal who was recognized as one of India’s best angel investors, as per Hurun, had invested ₹14.4 crore across 50 deals on the show. Sharks loved to invest in startups pertaining to the food and beverage sector . Amongst the few deals made in healthcare and manufacturing, most of them came from Thapar and Bansal who have expertise in these sectors. “Most of the deals made on the show had one shark onboard; however, it never happened that all the sharks invested in a single business,” Redseer said. <table style="border-width: initial;

At least, that was the case when mompreneurs Neha Bajaj and Karen Saldanha appeared on <keyword id="11924074" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="shark-tank-india" source="Orion">Shark Tank India</keyword> S2 to pitch their startup Dabble. Dabble produces child-friendly, toxin-free and development-friendly products for art and play, which are made from natural and safe ingredients like organic beeswax, natural waxes, coconut oil, etc. Founded in 2017, the Bangalore-based startup was incubated at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore’s flagship business incubator. “When we parents try to inspire creativity in our children, we buy art products for them. But when children try to become creative, we act like the traffic police. Why? For the safety of our children,” shared Saldanha on the show. Impressed by their product and vision, Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal offered to come on board as a third partner. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Cooking more than just food!" comment="subhead2" text="Cooking more than just food!">Cooking more than just food!</cmsannotation> Bajaj and Saldanha are both moms of children aged below 10. Saldanha holds an MBA degree in management and finance from the School of Communication and Management Studies, Cochin. She has worked with ICICI Prudential Life Insurance and PlatinumOne Learning Solutions in the past. Bajaj, on the other hand, is a photographer who has worked with publications like Lonely Planet, Travel &amp; Leisure, and others. She graduated with a degree in journalism from Mount Carmel College, Bengaluru, before pursuing a Master’s in photography from Light &amp; Life Academy, Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu. Bajaj and Saldanha <a href="https://yourstory.com/2021/04/the-turning-point-art-startup-dabble">met </a>at an expressive art therapy course in Bengaluru and became friends. Inspired by their own search for locally available safe art products, the two started Dabble in Bajaj’s kitchen - experimenting with various organic and natural materials. The experimentation continued with the duo commissioning a food technologist and cosmetologist to develop the formulations. Ultimately, in 2019, Dabble sold its first product. Dabble, which started with crayons and finger paints, currently has 10 products for children aged 1 and above - art accessories like glue, canvas board, etc. along with art &amp; craft kits and combo sets. The products are available on the company website and marketplaces like Amazon and FirstCry. The paint brushes are ergonomically designed to make them easier for children to hold and use. Apart from regular crayons, Dabble also produces crayons in different shapes that are fun to play with. The products are designed keeping in mind the emotional and mental needs of children and are safe enough to cause no harm, even if children accidentally ingest them, claimed the founders. “We are the first company in India to have printed the entire list of our ingredients on our packaging…We decided to take this step as mothers, to build transparency,” shared Saldanha on the show. Dabble achieved sales of ₹17 lakh in FY20, ₹14 lakh in FY21, and ₹47.5 lakh in FY22. Its year-to-date FY23 sales stood at ₹33 lakh. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Products that should be flying off the shelves" comment="subhead2" text="Products that should be flying off the shelves">Products that should be flying off the shelves</cmsannotation> Though impressed by the product, packaging, and vision, the Shark Tank India panel was concerned about the low sales, prompting sharks <keyword id="824423" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="peyush-bansal" source="Orion">Peyush Bansal</keyword>, co-founder of Lenskart and Namita Thapar, executive director at Emcure Pharmaceuticals, to back out. “A product like yours should have been flying off the shelves. Sales are not strong, so I’m out. But I think you have a great product,” remarked Thapar. However, Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal made an offer to go on board as a third partner, and not just as an investor. He thus offered ₹50 lakh for 33.33% equity in the company. This valued the company at ₹1.5 crore. “I can give you ₹50 lakh but I'll come in as the one-third part. I’m not at all giving a valuation to the company. I want to be somebody who can come in as a business partner and help your business move in the right direction, and subsequently, scale up,” remarked Mittal. While Sugar Cosmetics co-founder Vineeta Singh also backed out, boAt co-founder Aman Gupta offered an equity-and-debt deal – ₹15 lakh investment for 10% equity with ₹35 lakh debt at 0% interest. This also valued the company at ₹1.5 crore. “I can’t be your co-founder where I want one-third of your share. I don’t want to run your company,” shared Gupta. Both Gupta and Mittal tried convincing the founders on which deal was better. Ultimately though, the founders agreed to Gupta’s offer - an investment of ₹15 lakh for 10% equity with ₹35 lakh debt at no interest.

In Season 2, it was the turn of SAS Fat to Slim to be slammed by all the judges who variously called the startup’s no-exercise weight loss plan ‘dangerous’ and ‘gimmicky’. Founded by Shikha Aggarwal Sharma, SAS Fat to Slim is a Delhi-based startup that promotes weight loss with diet plans, and no exercise. As per Sharma, in weight loss, diet makes 80% of the difference, and exercise only contributes 20%. But shark Namita Thapar, executive director at Emcure Pharmaceuticals, called out the product for being nothing more than a gimmick. “How can you say ‘no exercise’? I fundamentally don’t agree with your theory. Let’s spread the message that weight loss happens by changing one’s lifestyle. Our country is turning into a diabetes capital, and blood pressure capital because people are doing such ‘gimmicky’ activities, and messing with their health. I’m sorry but when I hear such claims, I’m angry. I think we need to stop misleading the country,” remarked Thapar. Multiple reports echo Thapar’s sentiment. Doctors and other experts regularly <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/weight-gain-during-the-pandemic-is-increasing-the-incidence-of-pcos-in-women/articleshow/94202794.cms">recommend </a>a combination of exercise and diet control to combat weight gain and other lifestyle-related ailments. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="‘Your diet is akin to poison’" comment="subhead2" text="‘Your diet is akin to poison’">‘Your diet is akin to poison’</cmsannotation> Sharma shared how she believed a diet dominated by soups and salads—which need extra preparation time—was a luxury. But SAS Fat to Slim focused on easily available products, created by her own weight loss experience and knowledge of diet and nutrition. However, her claims were refuted by the sharks. Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal shared that he had studied a little about diabetes and the impact of sugar on human bodies, and slammed the sample diet that Sharma shared for an individual with diabetes. “According to macronutrients, you are recommending a diet of carbohydrates because you didn’t recommend protein till now. It’s akin to poison for a diabetic,” remarked Mittal. As per <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/one-in-every-six-indians-has-borderline-diabetes-says-report/articleshow/95497532.cms">reports</a>, one in every six Indians has diabetes. Chhavi Kohli, chief diabetes educator and nutritionist at Medanta the Medicity, Gurgaon, also shared with Business Insider India that “there is no special diet for diabetes; the whole idea is to nourish the body by taking various nutrients in the right proportion and right time.” Mittal also added that all bodies are different and while Sharma’s plan worked for her, it could prove to be dangerous for others. “You reduced weight with dedication and it’s remarkable. But now you’re packaging the same template that worked for you to other people. It could be dangerous,” shared Mittal. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="‘An investment will make things worse’" comment="subhead2" text="‘An investment will make things worse’">‘An investment will make things worse’</cmsannotation> Though Sharma defended her business by sharing that customers have benefitted from her products, the sharks were wary. Mittal backed out stating that he disagreed with the founder and didn’t find her business investable. Vineeta Singh, co-founder of Sugar Cosmetics, also backed out adding that she didn’t align with Sharma’s core business proposition – of losing weight with no exercise Lenskart co-founder Peyush Bansal, meanwhile, backed out stating that he didn’t believe the startup needed any investments. “An investment will only make things worse. You’ll have the pressure of ROI (return on investment) after an investor invests, which will get you stuck in a vicious loop that could impact the diet’s authenticity,” said Bansal. Gupta also backed out quoting his fellow shark Thapar’s catchphrase – that he has no expertise in the field.
