The episode featured a dynamic panel of investors, including Kunal Bahl (Co-founder of Snapdeal), Anupam Mittal (Founder of Shaadi.com), Namita Thapar (Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals), Aman Gupta (Co-founder of boAt), and Viraj Bahl (Founder of VRB Consumer Products). The ideas presented spanned industries and showcased the entrepreneurs’ relentless drive to innovate. Let’s dive into the key moments of the episode!
Repeat Gud: A Fresh Take on Healthy Sauces
The first pitch was from Saucy Goodness, a company focused on manufacturing healthy, tasty sauces made from high-quality ingredients. Aiming to disrupt the market, the founder presented an innovative approach to providing healthier, flavorful options for the growing health-conscious audience. They were seeking ₹50 Lakhs for a 5% equity stake.
“My heart is saying yes, but my mind is saying no” Kunal Bahl appeared perplexed, unsure about the scalability and sustainability of such a niche product in the long run. Would this small-scale manufacturing idea grow into a larger business? The Sharks were left to ponder if this sauce business had the potential to become a big player in a competitive market.
Skate Supply India: Wheels of Opportunity for India’s Skating Culture
Next, the Sharks were introduced to Skate Supply India, a brand that was looking to tap into the untapped potential of skateboarding in India. With over 8.5 million active skateboarders globally and skateboarding now part of the Olympic competitive category, the company aims to offer high-quality, affordable skateboards in a market that has lacked good options. Seeking ₹50 Lakhs for 2% equity, the business presented its vision to create a multi-brand platform for over 20 international skateboard brands.
Anupam Mittal couldn’t help but notice the potential: “Aap kisi Shark ki tarah lag rahe hai!” he commented, he was reminded of someone, can you guess? The idea of establishing a quality-driven skateboard business in India excited the panel, but the real question was whether Skate Supply India could successfully build a loyal customer base in an emerging market. Was there room for a game-changer in India’s skateboard market?
