From healthcare and female hygiene to food nutrition and healthy eating, here’s Shark Tank India’s Episode 30 at a glance.
The first pitchers, Aishwarya Bhatnagar and Prateek Rastogi, introduced their biofortified food focussed company, GreenDay. With the motto of receiving better nutrition with better seeds, the couple turned into business partners because of their shared passion towards nation-building. Narrating the story of how they met, they gave all the credit to Anupam and Shaadi.com. After living a village life amidst farmers for 2.5 years, they came back with a strong R&D for their brand, giving them confidence to continue it. Their credibility was also established when they associated with big names like Olympian PV Sindhu and MasterChef Pankaj Bhadhauria.
However, did these big names manage to impress the Sharks and fufill their ask of ₹60 lakhs for 1% equity?
The second set of pitchers was a jolly Punjabi family, comprising of the heart, mind and soul i.e. Manveen, Mandeep and Gurdeep respectively. Co-founders of Pinq Polka, a female hygiene brand for intimate and lifestyle needs, the trio’s humourous pitch of such a tabooed subject really impressed Kunal. From breast cups and nipple covers to tapes and sanitary pads, their goal is to free the women of the Bra Strap Syndrome. A premium lifestyle brand with great quality offerings, their ask of ₹1Cr. for 1.5% equity in the company was met with apprehensions. Anupam joked about how Mandeep was forced by his mom to invest time in his sister’s business instead of his own job. But did they manage to convince any Shark for investment?
The final pitch of the day was by Nishant Kathpal, who introduced Vibrasense by Ayati devices. Started in 2019 at IIT Bombay, his motivation for starting this healthcare business was his own family. With a strong focus on neuropathy and foot complications caused by diabetes, the idea of this startup is to made healthcare affordable and accessible. He addressed the problem of the diabetic foot through his innovation, the seed for which was planted during a college project where he discovered people in his own family suffering from it. Did he allure any Shark to give him what he was hoping for?
Stay tuned to see which of these ventures gets the backing they need to turn their dreams into reality!
