Anupam Mittal, one of many ‘sharks’ on Shark Tank India, recalled the pitches that left an influence on him throughout the actuality present’s first season. The present concluded its debut run final week. Anupam, the co-founder of Shaadi.com, remembered a few heart-warming pitches, but in addition made certain to say one which took him unexpectedly.
In an interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, he stated in Hindi, “This guy comes with his wife, I welcomed him to the show, and the first thing that comes out of his mouth is, ‘What’s your fantasy?’ I hid my face in embarrassment and decided not to get into a discussion with him, who knows what he’d reveal.”
Anupam continued, “He said that his fantasy is a deep and round belly button. We didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, we didn’t know what to do. And this man had invented a device that he said could help you get a deep and round belly button. So he summoned a dancer on stage, saying, ‘Bahar lao sundari ko’, and a ‘nachaniya’ came out. And he displayed her deep and round belly button. So, on the one hand I’m thinking of belly buttons, then this guy is asking for investment, and the other sharks are laughing. I didn’t know what to do, you have to see it.”
What ultimately ended up taking place was that the pitcher was turned down by the panel. Vineeta Singh stated that she wouldn’t need to be related to a ‘transformative’ product as a result of she believes in physique positivity. Namita Thapar stated that she doesn’t assume the product would promote in any respect, however Ashneer Grover wasn’t going to let issues go.
He launched right into a tirade towards the pitcher, and stated in Hindi, “I am laughing at myself for I’m wasting my time here. There are so many problems in the world, you could have made anything. I think this is a gimmicky product… There is no demand for this, there is no medical use for this… I’m not going to mince my words. You wasted your time and ours. Be serious. Don’t sell this, if you waste even half a second on this product, you will ruin your life.”
