As Shark Tank India Season 4 completes its second week, viewers have been amazed by the numerous pitches, great deals and big investments made on the show. The most important of these have been the words of wisdom shared by the varied Shark Tank India panel this season.
In today’s Campus Special episode, we saw Namita Thapar – Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Vineeta Singh, CEO of Sugar Cosmetics, Aman Gupta- co-founder of Boat, Peyush Bansal, CEO of Lenskart and Anupam Mittal – founder of Shaadi.com cracking smiles and deals with young, budding entrepreneurs of the country ready to make waves in the business world.
Trying to solve varied problems of people of their own age, today’s Shark Tank India episode saw pitchers in the age group of 16 to 21 making a case for their self-discovered ideas and businesses, be it about career counselling or customised gifting.
The first pitch set the tone of the episode as Dyumna Madan, co-founder of Project Clay brought young energy and enthusiasm to the stage. This 19-year-old from Goa, with her co-founder, Shivom Sood started this business with the idea of connecting students aspiring to study abroad with the current students at their dream universities and colleges across the world, by what they call an “elder sibling approach”. The “patakha” as Vineeta rightly pointed out made Anupam loosen his tie as she narrated her extraordinary journey of learning and building things. Did the inspiring story help them bag ₹15 lakh for 10% equity?

To match this energy entered a 16-year-old boy, Meet Deore, from Pune riding his self-designed motorcycle as part of his brand, Deni Bikes. With an inclination towards motor from childhood, he went on to create an electric stirrer in the 2nd standard and an electric go kart at the age of 10. Currently in the 11th standard with a dream to study mechanical engineering, Meet Deore introduced us to Deni Alpha, an affordable electric bike for young bikers like him. While Anupam was encouraging him to give up studies and focus on this project, did he finally make an offer matching the original ask of ₹30 lakh for 10% equity?

Finally, the next pitcher’s Khushi knew no bounds as she met her role model, Vineeta Singh after emailing Sugar every Monday. Proud owner of the Pretty Little Shop, an Instagram-led customised gifting business, Khushi Mandik started this with the aim of providing personalised and customised gifting solutions for millennials and Gen Z. With offerings like polaroids, keychains, music plates and more at affordable prices, this 21-year-old dreams of making turning it into a “Pretty Big Shop”. Looking for an investment of ₹30 lakh for 10% equity in the company, she wants to scale her business by building a team and introducing machine-making for their gifts while eventually opening offline stores. Will the Sharks fund her just like she funded her higher education through the revenue of this business?
