Panel of Sharks – Episode 4
- Aman Gupta – Co-founder & CMO, boAt
- Anupam Mittal – Founder, Shaadi.com
- Namita Thapar – Executive Director, Emcure Pharmaceuticals
- Amit Jain – Co-founder & CEO, CarDekho Group
- Ritesh Agarwal – Founder & Group CEO, OYO
Pitch 1: Goat Life
- Brand Type: Oats Brand
- Founder: Yash Kalra
- Ask: ₹36 lakhs for 1% equity
A 26-year-old entrepreneur, Yash Kalra from Kota, Rajasthan, entered the Shark Tank India stage and began his pitch with a fun “Never Have I Ever” game involving the sharks. The twist — they had to drink oat shots if their answer was “yes.”
After the game, Yash introduced his brand Goat Life, which produces high-protein oats. Anupam Mittal voiced concern, saying studies indicate oats might not be as healthy as people think.
Yash explained that Goat Life has a roadmap for other breakfast products and that his main customer base consists of late millennials and Gen Z consumers. When he showed the brand’s Instagram profile with just 12.1K followers, the sharks criticized its weak social media reach. Aman Gupta remarked that Yash was “not selling oats but a vibe to Gen Z.”
Yash then presented his sales figures, unit economics, and top-selling products, impressing many sharks with his confidence and clarity.
Offers Made by Sharks:
- Ritesh Agarwal: ₹60 lakhs for 4% equity
- Anupam Mittal: ₹1 crore for 4% equity
- Aman Gupta: ₹1 crore for 4% equity
- Amit Jain: ₹36 lakhs for 1.8% equity or ₹1 crore for 4% equity
- Namita Thapar: ₹36 lakhs for 1.8% equity
Final Deal:
Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta — ₹2 crores for 8% equity
Pitch 2: Planyt
- Brand Type: Fully Automatic Plant-Growing Technology
- Founder: Shubham Upadhyay
- Ask: ₹1.05 crore for 6.5% equity
Shubham, a 28-year-old founder from Vadodara, presented his startup Planyt, which has developed a patented fully automatic AI-integrated plant-growing system. Introducing himself as a “Plant Paglu,” he amused the sharks right away.
He shared his mission of tackling hunger in India through advanced agricultural technology and explained his “GAMLA theory” for plant growth. However, the sharks found the price of his technology too high.
Shubham claimed that the initial research came from NASA and that his company had perfected it. He also mentioned receiving ₹10 lakhs in government funding, calling it “heavily funded.” This statement drew mockery from Anupam Mittal, who told him to be ashamed of calling ₹10 lakhs a heavy investment.
The sharks collectively advised him to reconsider or shut down the business, citing lack of practical viability.
Offers Made by Sharks:
No offers were made and no deal was finalized.
Pitch 3: Avishkaar
- Brand Type: Robotics, AI, and Coding STEM Kits for Kids
- Founders: Rajeev Gaba, Yogita Bhalla, and Tarun Bhalla
- Ask: ₹80 lakhs for 1% equity
Three founders from Delhi presented their company Avishkaar, which designs robotics, AI, and coding kits for children aged 5–15. They gave the sharks a product demo and highlighted that their technology is patented across the USA, Singapore, China, Russia, and India.
Aman Gupta expressed concern that the products looked too similar to LEGO and could lose novelty after repeated use. The sharks understood the concept as a hands-on method for teaching programming to kids but raised questions about long-term engagement.
The founders revealed that 75% of their revenue comes from B2B clients. However, Anupam Mittal said the packaging felt uninspiring, and Namita Thapar questioned the scalability of the business beyond a certain point.
Offers Made by Sharks:
No offers were made and no deal was finalized.
Episode Summary: In this episode of Shark Tank India Season 5, only Yash Kalra managed to impress the sharks and secured a deal worth ₹2 crores for his oats brand Goat Life. The other two pitches failed to convince the sharks to invest.
Next Episode Precap: In Episode 5 of Shark Tank India Season 5, viewers will see an exciting face-off between two jewelry brands — True Diamond, run by two male entrepreneurs, and EMORI, owned by a talented female entrepreneur.
