Bonkers’ manufacturing is in-house, with a capacity of 3 lakh pieces per month. The sharks checked samples of his clothing line, which were priced between ₹1,200 and ₹3,000. Aman and Anupam raised concerns that Bonkers also sells classic apparel alongside streetwear.
Shubham then shared impressive revenue figures, revealing that the company earns a profit of around ₹35 crore. The sharks were impressed by the numbers. He explained that his brand lacks technical know-how, which is why he sought the sharks’ expertise. The average T-shirt price is ₹799.
Offers made by Sharks:
- Namita Thapar: ₹1.5 crore for 0.5% equity
- Mohit Yadav: ₹2 crore for 1% equity
Final Deal:
- Namita Thapar – ₹1.5 crore for 0.5% equity
Pitch 2: Bubble Me

- Founder: Akshina Jindal
- Ask: ₹50 lakh for 1.67% equity
Akshina, a founder from Chandigarh, pitched her magnesium-driven wellness brand Bubble Me. She began by giving the sharks a magnesium bubble wash spa for their feet and then explained how she came up with the idea for her venture. The sharks also asked her about the quantity of magnesium absorbed by the human skin while using her products.
Akshina shared that more than 95% of her revenue comes from magnesium wellness products. Her top-selling product, the bath salt Spoil Yourself, contributes around 86% of total sales.
Offers made by Sharks:

Final Deal:

Pitch 3: Outlive
- Brand Type: Five-Day Science-Based Fasting Program
- Founder: Varun Khanna
- Ask: ₹1 crore for 4% equity
Varun Khanna, a founder from Bengaluru, pitched his company Outlive, which offers a science-backed five-day fasting program. He provided the sharks with sample boxes, priced at ₹7,000 each.
Namita suggested reformulating the electrolyte mix, which she felt contained excessive sodium. Anupam commented that the boxes were overpriced (the contents were worth less than ₹500), and after hearing Varun’s unconvincing response, quipped that he sounded like a YouTube tutorial.
Varun admitted that his business was inspired by a U.S.-based company and disclosed that he wanted to help people live healthier lives. He also mentioned that manufacturing is outsourced.
Offers made by Sharks:
- No offers were made, and no deal was closed.
Episode Summary: The young founder from Bonkers Corner secured an impressive deal from Namita Thapar at the valuation he initially asked for. Meanwhile, Akshina declined Aman Gupta’s offer as she was unhappy with the valuation. The last pitcher, Varun Khanna, did not receive any offers from the sharks.
