The Shark Tank India stage has witnessed its fair share of innovative and inspiring business pitches. Although to present the same before a panel of some of the most seasoned businesspersons in the country is indeed a daunting task, many not only proved themselves but also managed to go above and beyond. Some driven contestants gave such compelling pitches that not one, not two, but all five sharks among seven, who appeared on the show on a rotational basis, could not help but aid them in their ventures. Here are the forceful pitches made by some of the entrepreneurs on the show that earned them a deal from all five sharks in the panel.
Skippi Pops
Skippi Pops managed to tap into the sharks’ nostalgia with their pitch for a healthier version of everyone’s favourite childhood snacks - popsicles. Founded by Ravi Kabra and Anuja Kabra, the brand sells a healthier version of the average ice popsicles in six different flavours. Their products claim to contain no artificial sweeteners, colours and preservatives. The entrepreneur couple left the tank with an investment deal from Vineeta, Ashneer, Anupam, Namita and Aman worth Rs 1 crore for 15% equity in their company.
Find Your Kicks India
This sneaker brand was founded in 2020 by Danish Chawla and Simardeep Singh. The company offers a platform where sneaker enthusiasts can buy and sell premium sneakers and apparel. Through its platform, the company seeks to connect verified sellers and buyers of such apparel. Find Your Kicks India received a deal worth Rs 50 lakhs for 25% stake in their company from Ashneer, Anupam, Peyush, Namita and Aman.
InACan
Touted to be one of the first brands in the country to offer ready to serve cocktails in a can, the company was founded by Viraj Sawant and Sameer Mirajkar in 2020. The company’s products are said to be low-calorie, made from a standardised recipe and canned in their own distilleries. InACan received an investment worth Rs 1 crore for a stake of 10% in their company, from Anupam, Peyush, Namita, Ashneer and Aman.
Sunfox Technologies
Founded by Rajat Jain, Nitin Chandola, Sabit Rawat and Saurabh Badola in 2016, this company produces ECG devices. On the show, the company pitched their pocket-sized ECG device, named Spandan. Through the portable ECG device, users can take the test via their smartphones without a doctor’s help. The company received a deal from Vineeta, Ghazal, Peyush, Anupam and Namita. The sharks offered Rs 1 crore for an equity stake of 6% in the company.
Besides the companies listed above, Moonshine Meadery, founded by Rohan Rehani and Nitin Vishwas, was also offered a deal from all five sharks in the tank. However, the founders refused the sharks’ deal and instead, made a counteroffer, which was not well received by Anupam, Vineeta, Ashneer, Peyush and Aman.
