Pitch 1: Warrior World
Brand Type: Indian Armed Forces-Inspired Apparel Brand
Founder: Uday Patel
Ask: ₹75 lakh for 1% equity
Uday Patel from Gujarat pitched his brand Warrior World, an apparel company inspired by the Indian Armed Forces. He appeared along with four family members, making it a family-run business. This was their second venture after running a women’s apparel brand earlier.
The sharks appreciated their unique clothing designs. The brand sells T-shirts, polos, hoodies, and sweatshirts priced in economical bundles – ₹349 for one T-shirt, ₹999 for three, and ₹1,499 for five. They use a ₹27,000 design machine, and most of their revenue comes through D2C channels.
Offer Made:
Vineeta Singh: ₹75 lakh for 1% equity + 1.5% royalty until ₹1.12 crore is recovered.
Final Deal:
- Vineeta Singh successfully closed the deal on the same offer.
Pitch 2: Currently
- Brand Type: Real-Time Activity Sharing App
- Founder: Mitesh Shethwala
- Ask: ₹1.2 crore for 1% equity
Mitesh Shethwala from Ahmedabad pitched Currently, a real-time activity sharing app that allows users to share live updates of their activities directly through the phone camera, without gallery uploads or editing.
Mitesh demonstrated the app live, and Anupam Mittal appreciated its Gen Z-friendly approach, comparing its open nature to “digital transparency.” Launched in 2023, the app currently has 2.5 lakh downloads, 83,000 active users, and around 10,500 daily users.
Offer Made:
- None.
Final Outcome:
- No deal was made as none of the sharks invested.
Pitch 3: AnjaniBooks
- Brand Type: New and Second-Hand Books E-commerce Platform
- Founder: Kaushik Gupta
- Ask: ₹10 lakh for 10% equity
Kaushik Gupta, a 27-year-old entrepreneur from Lucknow, presented AnjaniBooks, an e-commerce platform selling new books, second-hand books, and notebooks. He claimed that his website offers more titles than major online platforms.
However, when Kaushik mentioned that the site carried only about 3,500 titles, the sharks found the claim exaggerated and the website generic. He revealed that he had dropped out of his BCA program due to illness and currently earns ₹15,000 per month through book sales, spending ₹500 monthly on Google Ads.
Offer Made:
- None.
Final Outcome:
- No offers or deals were made for this pitch.
Episode Summary: Only Warrior World managed to secure a deal, with Vineeta Singh investing ₹75 lakh for 1% equity and a royalty component. Currently drew some interest from Anupam Mittal but no final offer. AnjaniBooks failed to impress the sharks, resulting in no deal.
Next Episode Preview: Episode 30 of Shark Tank India Season 5 will feature new pitches from a beverage brand offering “sanskaari” non-alcoholic drinks, a gifting company specializing in custom paintings, and a quick commerce fashion platform.
