In Episode 27 of Shark Tank India Season 4, the panel of Sharks—Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, and Aman Gupta—welcomed a mix of intriguing pitches that blend culture, sustainability, and innovation. From transforming the dining experience with authentic village vibes to promoting eco-friendly fashion, these entrepreneurs brought ideas that not only spark interest but also highlight the depth of Indian heritage and creativity. Let’s dive into the exciting pitches that stole the show this week!
Fundoo Labs – Making Science Fun for Kids
First to pitch was Fundoo Labs, an educational initiative on a mission to make science accessible, engaging, and fun for children aged 3 to 14. The founder emphasized the importance of nurturing curiosity and critical cognitive development at an early age, offering science kits that make learning interactive and enjoyable. With a strong focus on productivity enhancement through hands-on learning experiences, Fundoo Labs is aiming to revolutionize how children approach science.
The company sought ₹80 Lakhs for 4% equity, and the Sharks were impressed by the potential for scaling the business, especially with parents constantly looking for innovative ways to enhance their children’s learning outside of traditional classrooms. Could Fundoo Labs be the next go-to resource for parents who want to make learning an adventure?
Gaon – Bringing the Soul of India to Your Table
Next up was Gaon, a unique restaurant concept that brings the spirit of rural India right to the heart of the city. With a décor that takes diners on a nostalgic journey through village life, Gaon offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience, combining authentic village culture with India’s rich culinary diversity. The restaurant features a menu with ever-changing delicacies from Bihari, Rajasthani, Gujarati, Punjabi, and other regional cuisines—each dish carrying the essence of rural life.
The founder shared the vision to expand beyond dining and make a foray into FMCG with Gaon Foods, offering affordable spices, rice, and authentic North Indian delicacies. The ask was ₹80 Lakhs for 4% equity, with a playful pitch: “Gaon se Dilli tak toh aagye par Dilli mein gaon wala swaad kaha?” The Sharks were intrigued by the idea of sharing the rural experience through food and spices and were eager to see if Gaon could make its mark in the FMCG space.
Will Gaon be able to blend its authentic village charm with the modern FMCG industry? Only time will tell!
Eri Weave – Crafting Sustainability from the Heart of Meghalaya
Rounding off the episode was Eri Weave, an eco-conscious brand dedicated to providing sustainable livelihoods through the use of organic, locally sourced Eri silk. This venture works closely with the community in Meghalaya to craft handwoven fabrics and organic dyed Eri silk yarns. By focusing on sustainable fashion, Eri Weave is aiming to take the rich textile tradition of the region to a pan-India audience.
The founders sought ₹20 Lakhs for 12% equity, and the Sharks were immediately drawn to the brand’s focus on sustainability and community empowerment. As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, Eri Weave offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity, showcasing India’s rich textile heritage while promoting sustainable practices.
Could Eri Weave become the leading brand in the sustainable fashion space and take Meghalaya’s organic silk to new heights across India?
