Let’s dive into the pitches, founders, and the biggest concerns raised by the sharks in this episode!
Pitch 1: Whale Wearables – Self-Defense Gadgets for Women
Founders: Sharad Patil and Nandita Yenagi
Brand Type: Wearable Tech for Women’s Safety
Sharad and Nandita introduced Whale Wearables, a startup creating innovative self-defense gadgets for women. Their flagship product, “Whale Thunder,” is a wearable glove that delivers a 4,000-volt stun shock to attackers, instantly incapacitating them.
Key Features of Whale Thunder:
- Shock feature: Disables attackers with high-voltage stun technology.
- Built-in loud siren and flashlight: Alerts people nearby in case of danger.
- GPS Sharing: Allows users to send real-time location alerts for safety.
🛑 Sharks’ Concerns:
- The brand is still at the prototype stage—Can they scale production efficiently?
- Legal concerns over the use of high-voltage self-defense gadgets in India.
- Market viability—Would women feel comfortable wearing such a device daily?
💡 Final Impression: The sharks were impressed with the idea but suggested refining their go-to-market strategy before scaling up.
Pitch 2: Dhaaga Life – A Lifestyle Brand for Women
Founders: Usha Borda, Ishita Borda, and Bansari Borda
Brand Type: Handcrafted Bags & Accessories
A mother-daughter trio pitched their brand Dhaaga Life, which specializes in handcrafted, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly bags & accessories for women. Their brand name was inspired by Usha Ji’s first handmade jute bag, stitched using only a needle and thread.
Why Dhaaga Life Stands Out:
- Sustainable & cruelty-free materials used in all products.
- Premium-quality handbags at affordable prices.
- Wide availability: Sold via their own website, online marketplaces, and 17 curated stores.
- Over 1.5 lakh customers served since launch.
💬 Sharks’ Reactions:

Founders: Sachin Goel and Dheeraj Nagpal
Brand Type: Health & Wellness (Modern Ayurveda)
Sachin and Dheeraj presented Zingavita, a high-quality supplements brand focusing on Modern Ayurveda. Their flagship product? Pure Himalayan Shilajit, available in multiple forms like Resin, Effervescent Tablets, Shilajit Honey, and even Shilajit Coffee!
🧪 Key Highlights of Zingavita Products:
- Shilajit-infused products in unique formats for better absorption.
- Scientifically-backed formulations with a blend of Ayurveda & modern nutrition.
- Premium packaging & branding aimed at young, health-conscious consumers.
🛑 Sharks’ Concerns:
- Regulatory challenges—Are the health claims backed by clinical studies?
- Differentiation—How does it stand apart from other Ayurvedic supplement brands?
- Market education—How will they convince Indian consumers to adopt Shilajit-infused products?
💡 Final Impression: Sharks loved the innovative product line, but advised focusing on educating consumers & cracking the retail market.
Pitch 4: Taffykids – A Trendy & Affordable Kidswear Brand
Founders: Pratik Nagariya, Niti Parekh, and Sangita Rohira
Brand Type: Fashion & Kidswear
Pratik, Niti, and Sangita introduced Taffykids, a trendy and affordable kidswear brand designed to make children look stylish and confident. They showcased their latest clothing collection through a mini fashion show, where young models walked the ramp in Taffykids apparel!

- Aman Gupta: Praised the fast-fashion model, similar to Zara but for kids.
- Vineeta Singh: Loved the designs but asked about scalability & inventory management.
🛑 Sharks’ Concerns:
- High inventory risk due to frequently changing designs.
- Customer retention—How will they build long-term loyalty in the kidswear market?
