How was the pitch of Gopal’s 56?

It was the biggest pitch to date in Shark Tank which was 300 crore rupees for 25% equity, company valuation is 1200 crore.

All the sharks were shocked by his pitch to which he explained that he needed the investment in phases. Anupam explained that taking a huge amount and investment in the market to gain peak is not possible thus he went out.

Namita went out, as she wasn’t convinced by his medical proof of it through his words. Peyush went out as he didn’t find it investable at the moment.

Ashneer also moved out as he didn’t understand the concept of valuation and it’s a silly idea of demanding such a pitch. Aman also moved out because it is not logical and wished him all the best. No investment took place in this pitch.

He first came as a helper then became a craftsman and then went to Dubai and learned the heritage of such marbles and came back to India with a dream to do something, so he started finding the company for marketing, branding and expanding it, where he met Kranti Anand who has his own interior company.

Saransh Anand is the son of Kranti, who is like an employee in the business.

How was the pitch of ARRCOAT?

Founders of ARRCOAT came on Shark Tank India looking for an investment of 50 lakhs for 5% equity, company valuation is around 10 crore. They have also done their current project in Shahrukh Khan’s house, Mannat.

Ashneer went out as he didn’t find it revolutionary as per the market and their low sales number didn’t appeal to him. Namita said that she would not be able to help them in this and went out. Aman didn’t fit in this business and went out as he didn’t find it investable.

Peyush also went out as he didn’t find it useful in the long run. Anupam was only left and he actually gave the offer of 50 lakhs with a few conditions, which includes- it should be clean and organic, no similar product should exist, must give equity to the co-founder Ekbal, should add co-founder for marketing and distribution.

His offer was 30 lakhs for 10% and 20 lakhs as a loan. They gave a counteroffer to cut down a few conditions, Anupam said his offer is not negotiable, they requested him to give 50 lakhs as an investment for 10%, Anupam said it can be done but equity will be 15%. They agreed to the deal and took the check.

Anupam said that he just felt like their hobby to do creative and even they are at an early stage. Ashneer found the same concern and went out. Peyush went out as he is not in apparel and unrelatable to this sector.

Aman was ready to take a bet on these youngsters, Namita also showed interest and they gave a combined deal of 30 lakhs for 30% equity as they needed more time and focus on sharks. Anupam said that he would have given an offer if no one had offered and went out. They gave a counteroffer of 30 lakhs for 20% equity, Aman agreed but Namita went out.
