Shark Tank India 4: Anupam Mittal Jokes ‘Take Our Seats’ After Hearing a Pitch But Backs Out of the Deal
In the latest episode of Shark Tank India 4 (February 19), an impressive pitch grabbed the attention of the Sharks, leading to a Rs 1 crore deal. The pitchers, who run a health and wellness brand from Hyderabad, showcased their deep knowledge and experience. While Anupam Mittal and Vineeta Singh were highly impressed, they later backed out from investing. Here’s what happened.
About the Pitch
The entrepreneurs introduced their healthcare brand, which focuses on managing chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity. Their key products include:
✔️ Calorie Crusher – Reduces carbohydrate intake in meals.
✔️ Sugar Slayer – Helps lower blood sugar levels.
As the Sharks asked about their qualifications, one of the pitchers, a doctor, listed her impressive credentials. Hearing them, Anupam Mittal jokingly said, “That’s it?” When she continued naming her certifications, Vineeta Singh folded her hands and laughed, “Bas, we are sold!”
Another co-founder shared how he had built and successfully exited profitable businesses. Anupam Mittal, clearly impressed, quipped,
💬 “Why have you come here? Just take our seats!”
What Went Wrong?
While the Sharks were excited about the pitch, things changed when Mittal questioned them about competing alternatives in the market. Their answers didn’t convince him.
👉 Aman Gupta was the first to make an offer despite the risks. He said, “Risk hai, par risk toh Spiderman bhi leta hai. Main toh phir bhi Tigerman hoon. Mere liye risk lena banta hai.” (There’s risk, but even Spiderman takes risks. I am Tigerman. Taking risks is my thing.)
👉 Kunal Bahl wasn’t a fan of the packaging but believed it could be improved. He offered a deal and was open to partnering with Aman Gupta.
👉 Peyush Bansal, however, was concerned about potential health risks associated with the product and backed out.
👉 Anupam Mittal advised them to market their product as a weight management solution rather than a weight-loss cure. He also suggested conducting independent studies without sponsorship before stepping away from the deal.
Final Deal
Despite some Sharks backing out, the pitchers secured a joint deal from Aman Gupta and Kunal Bahl for Rs 1 crore in exchange for 5% equity.
📺 The episode was filled with laughter, smart business advice, and yet another exciting investment!
