While the pitcher successfully secured a deal, it was Viraj Bahl’s unexpected offer that caught everyone’s attention. He offered a huge Rs 5 crore for 51% equity, making the Sharks and the pitcher take a pause.

The Pitch: A Personal Weight Loss Journey Turns Into a Business

The entrepreneur shared that his own struggle with weight loss led him to create this brand. He wanted to make healthy protein products that actually taste good. He came to the show asking for Rs 1 crore in exchange for 6.5% equity.

During the conversation, he told Aman Gupta that he had met him before at an event and had been trying to get on Shark Tank India for multiple seasons.

The Sharks then tasted his products. Aman Gupta felt that the chips weren’t extraordinary, while Namita Thapar and Anupam Mittal liked the protein bars.

Did He Copy the Packaging? Kunal Bahl Thinks So

Kunal Bahl pointed out that the packaging looked very similar to other well-known brands. He asked the pitcher if he had copied their designs. The entrepreneur admitted that he had taken inspiration from them.

However, Anupam Mittal disagreed and asked, “Why did you say you copied the design? I don’t see any similarity.”

The pitcher quickly corrected himself and said he hadn’t copied anything. Anupam then remarked, “I think you’re just telling us what we want to hear.”

Viraj Bahl’s Shocking Rs 5 Crore Offer

The pitch took an unexpected turn when Viraj Bahl made a surprising Rs 5 crore offer for 51% equity.

Hearing this, Aman Gupta clapped, while the pitcher asked in shock, “You want to buy my company?”

Viraj explained that he was very interested in this business and wanted to help scale it up using his distribution network. He assured the entrepreneur that he could still run the brand like his baby.

To give more options, Viraj also offered Rs 1 crore for 20% equity.

The pitcher hesitated, wanting to hear more offers. Aman Gupta then asked him, “Do you really want to sell your company?”
