[theme music fading]
Sharks, I am here to tell you a problem.
The problem is that I am a boy.
[chuckles]
And unlike girls, I don't have stylish,
glamorous, exciting and colourful outfits to wear!
But not anymore.
[upbeat music playing]
India's fastest-growing fast fashion brand for men.
[upbeat song playing]
Love it. [chuckles]
[Sharks applauding]
who launched co-ord sets for men, that is paired clothing.
to make Snitch India's biggest fashion brand for men
and then to capture the global market.
[intense music playing]
We'd like to thank all of you guys.
You can leave while we discuss work with him.
- Thank you, boys. - Thank you.
- Thanks, guys. - Thank you.
- Which city? - Bengaluru, ma'am.
I don't hold any IIT, IIM or MBA degrees.
I have none of that. I'm a hardcore hustler.
Clothing has been my passion
- since the age of 14 or 15. - Okay.
I used to help my father out at his jewellery shop since 2009.
I had no interest in jewellery.
The shop next to my father's was about to be vacated.
I convinced my father I wanted to trade in clothing.
When I started out,
I used to procure factory leftovers
and sell them in retail.
The store started doing really well until 2012.
When I was dealing with these factories,
a particular factory
- wanted to sell its fabrics. - Hmm.
I had a buyer ready.
It was an investment of around Rs. 25 lakhs.
I didn't have the funds.
I took a loan then and completed the transaction.
To my bad luck, the audit of that factory came up.
They couldn't despatch the fabric for 20 to 25 days.
[intense music playing]
I was stuck with that fabric.
I made swatches out of that fabric.
A particular retailer in Mumbai called me and said,
"Sid, the fabric is fabulous. Can you make shirts out of it?"
I was stunned as production wasn't my background.
I found a small factory.
I sat there for three to four weeks,
understood the whole process of production.
I designed those 200 to 300 pieces myself
and I sent it to the customer.
Over the weekend, those shirts were sold out.
I ended up making Rs. 6.5 lakhs
whereas I was making Rs. 3 lakhs selling fabric.
[uplifting music playing]
- Wow! - I realised
that manufacturing is a much bigger game.
I scaled that business to an annual revenue run rate
of about Rs. 50 to 60 crores.
- Wow! - But while doing all of this,
I identified a huge gap in the market.
Every brand was following one traditional pattern.
That's when I started my own brand Snitch.
It's a B2B brand where we were selling to retailers.
They were getting new styles daily in small quantities.
The scale was tremendous initially itself.
But again, the pandemic hit us in 2020.
We had a lot of inventory.
We launched snitch.co.in in July 2020.
Ever since, it's been a rollercoaster ride for us.
What is your age?
I am 35 years old.
First, I like your brand name and logo.
I registered this name in 2014.
Dwayne Johnson's movie 'Snitch' came out around that time.
It was a small and catchy name.
Back then, I didn't know what snitch meant,
to be very honest.
Now, explain what snitch means.
- Snitch means to tell on someone. - Yes.
Besides, we snitch about fashion as well as trends.
So, why not keep the name?
We give top-notch international standard quality
which could be compared to H&M or Zara.
- I'll take a look at the products. Please continue. - I...
Their price point is higher.
In tier two, either they're not available...
And tier three and four is unaffordable.
We're a mass premium brand.
We are perfectly positioned between Max and H&M.
- Sir... - Quickly. How much does this cost?
- Rs. 1499. - And this?
- Absolutely. - How much does the yellow T-shirt cost?
It's a co-ord set, sir, for Rs. 1099.
Tell me who designs the clothes and who approves the samples.
We have a design team
that has a set of 7 to 8 designers.
I am personally quite involved in the designing.
is that we make in very limited quantities.
We first make a batch of 50 to 100 pieces.
We have set trigger points for traction.
If on the third day, we expect the trend to last for 10 days,
immediately a trigger is sent to production
to replenish the stock.
And they have to make sure
that it goes live on the website within 15 days or at the earliest.
Have you built some tech for the entire thing?
Or is it all done manually?
We built a small tech through WhatsApp.
So, you don't own proprietary technology.
All the tools you might need are readily available.
If they're readily available, then anybody can do this business!
No, sir. The skill that it takes...
- Could you tell me what skill? - Yes, I'm telling you.
From design to making it live within 25 days,
you need a lot of dots to be connected.
Pantaloons, Allen Solly, Van Heusen are some of the brands.
- Reliance has brands too. - Yes, absolutely.
Why couldn't they do this?
Sir, they've always been a traditional brand.
In my opinion, sir,
the success of fast fashion
lies in cracking the supply chain.
But what you're wearing is a very basic design.
Sir, I learnt this from you. Wear your brand on the move.
[laughs]
- But isn't it beneficial? - Extremely.
- This guy next to me on the flight noticed it. - Yes.
He asked me, "Do you work at Snitch?"
- I said, "Yes, I work at Snitch." - And?
When he praised the brand, I told him I was the founder.
- Nice. - Did you think of me at the time?
- Yes, sir. - You did!
I started doing this after listening to you.
Thank you.
What is the business yielding?
Sir, last month's overall sales were Rs. 9 crores.
We aren't focusing on it right now.
If I follow that route, scalability will become a challenge.
You are earning Rs. 50 lakhs profit per month without focusing on it.
If you focus on it, you'll be unstoppable.
[funky music]
Please tell us about the funding you received till now.
Sir, it's 100% bootstrapped as of today.
Wow! Amazing!
Bootstrapped company.
A bootstrapped company is a company where the founder
or the founding team owns all the equity.
They took the money from their savings or a loan
and invested that money in the company.
Those are bootstrapped companies.
You didn't raise money?
I didn't raise money. I have a debt of Rs. 4.5 crores
which are given by my friends and family.
How much interest do you pay?
I pay 2% to 9% and theirs is 2% to 12%.
What was your revenue last year?
Rs. 44 crores.
we need more funds
to scale it up at the same level.
How do you have such clarity?
Is anyone supporting you or a mentor? There must be someone.
Sir, all of you are my mentors.
I read your blogs
and also, the internet is the biggest tool.
How does your father feel? He got a shop for his son
in the vicinity to help him in his business.
I'd give the entire credit to my father.
Every father wants his son to grow his business.
[motivational music]
When I requested him, he didn't question me.
He always let me and my sisters make independent decisions.
He made sure that they become self-sufficient
before they get married.
He gave me a beautiful gift on my last birthday.
He wrote a story
about my journey...
[mellow music]
I mean he wrote,
"I'm the proudest father
for the way you have
delivered according to our upbringing."
- And other such things. - So sweet! Who is your idol?
My father and my mother.
My mother was the one who pushed me to start a new store.
She said, "why are you sitting on your dad's chair?
Do something on your own."
Your upbringing is laudable. I salute you.
[mellow music]
Getting Rs. 1.5 crores, Rs. 50 lakhs or Rs. 2 crores won't help you.
- It won't help. - If you really want to become
a global company,
- you'd need a big round of cap. - Absolutely.
Why have you come here and what do you want from us?
Basically, I think I'll be able to grow quickly with all of you.
Each one of you has different expertise.
I came here to get a blend of everything.
I never studied marketing
and I didn't have the knowledge of customer acquisition.
- I saw videos on YouTube. Spoke to people. I liked it about you. - Yes!
The second similarity is I didn't raise funds until Rs. 100 crores.
[inspirational music]
If offer Rs. 1 crore
and Vineeta, Anupam, Aman and I come together
- and all four... - Why did you leave Namita?
- Namita didn't opt out? - No!
I'm sorry!
- All five! - What if the five of us come together?
Make an offer of Rs. 1.5 crore.
We offer Rs. 1.5 crore for 1.5% equity
as you want all five Sharks.
What's your view about it? You will get all five of us.
How much will each of us get if we divide 1.5%?
that if you take it to venture capitalists,
they will suspect you.
It was true in Aman's category but he proved everybody wrong.
Absolutely! That's why I said that he's an inspiration.
And it was a big factor for me
to start my business.
You did something
that I'll do with ZARA and H&M.
Very good! [laughing]
If you praise him more, you'll get a better valuation.
No. As you said, we removed foreign brands from India.
We wiped them off. Now Indian brands rule starting with us.
- Rs. 100 crores. - A valuation of Rs. 100 crores.
[suspenseful music]
It's the final offer.
There are two options. Either we'll meet you or go out. Please choose!
[suspenseful music]
- Let's do it! - Oh, nice!
[upbeat music]
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
Will you make it India's biggest fashion brand?
Thank you! Thank you so much!
My friend, I salute your father and please pay my respects to him.
One hundred percent!
- Thank you, sir! Bye! - Thank you! Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Out of all my investments, I earned zero only in one deal.
Zero! It was an apparel business.
But when you asked a question about his parents,
I thought
- let's not form patterns. - We're betting on the person.
'A place where both courtesy and etiquette are found'
'is Lucknow.'
'We, the founders of ISAK are the natives of Lucknow.'
'We accentuate a person's individuality with perfumes.'
'and I was clueless.'
'but I want to be an equal partner.'
- '- Equal? - Yes!'
'It was a difficult decision for me.'
'It was huge and I was in shock for a very long time.'
'What have I done?'
'I'm glad that I took that decision.'
'Because he's a very good partner.'
'I visited his Lenskart factory and observed their work.'
'It helped me gain knowledge of the supply chain'
'and inventory planning. I spoke to his team regarding inventory, '
'branding and marketing.'
'I think it looks better.'
'We just finalised ISAK's logo.'
[dreamy music]
'We finalised the packaging too. It's a beautiful logo.'
'When you see the new product, you'll realise that it can'
'genuinely compete with the best perfume brands in the world.'
'I think ISAK is not just a brand but an experience.'
'Imagine the smell of raw soil'
'which is liked by everyone is given to us in a bottle.'
[joyful music]
'Before buying expensive perfumes from international brands'
'we must try this brand.'
'We bought two new warehouses and will buy two more'
'to deliver the product to the customer on time.'
'We enabled numerous techs to be in touch with the customer.'
'Earlier, my dad said, "why are you doing it? How will you do it?'
'You have to take care of the family. You can't do it."'
'But now it's the other way round. My dad has made a U-turn.'
'People make me feel that I'm a proud father.'
'Many people reached out to me after Shark Tank.'
'They said that they were in a similar situation.'
'They want to start something'
'but they can't do it because of their family background.'
'If I can make a difference in their lives'
'with my pitch in Shark Tank, '
'I'd consider myself lucky.'
'I'd be proud to make a difference'
'in their lives for the better.'
[theme music playing]
[theme music fading]
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
I wish had the coolest abs of them all.
[chuckles]
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
I wish I was the fittest as well as the tallest.
Sharks, when we look into the mirror, we only see our flaws.
Just imagine a mirror
- that turns all your flaws into your strengths. - Wow!
Yes, Sharks.
You're not imagining this, it's a reality.
[sweeping music]
'Hello. Sharks. Welcome.'
'It is time to step into the future.'
[upbeat music playing]
'And reimagine fitness with Portl.'
Greetings, Sharks. I am Armaan.
I am Vishal.

- that's also available in our workout library. - Very nice.

I want to run and do just that.
[unanimous laughter]

I also wish to run.

We have installed 50 Portl studios as of now
Our vision is
for Portl to be the third screen in every household
after TV and smartphones.
To realise this vision,
Portl is asking for Rs. 1.5 crores for 1% equity in the company.
- Yes. - Wow!
Okay.
After hearing that, I need a workout.
- Sure. Let us take you through the features first. - Okay.

Why don't you come?
- Let him do some workout. - Please come forth.
Give me something I can do.
You can see,
- this is a skeleton tracking movement. - You can move your hands.
- Every time you're in the wrong form... - Wow!
- It will detect that with a colour detection code. - This?
- Now this is active. - Okay.
- Take the dumbbell. - The feedback appears here.
Let me see if it detects this.
- No, it's saying raise your arms higher. - No...
- I get it. - It's saying
- raise your arms higher. - Is it keeping a count?
The count is still zero! It should detect one at least.
The count is one.
- All the way up and all the way down. - When you go all the way up,
only then it will count.
[upbeat music playing]
Alright, I got it.
I think you found a new hairdresser.
Vishal, do you not know Hindi?
My Hindi is not up to the mark.
Did you live in the US for 8 years just like Namita?
- Something... - He is born and brought up in America.
- Okay. - Yes.
Okay. How did you three meet?
They are my school friends.
- Which city was your school in? - Hyderabad.
- Hyderabad.
- You did schooling there. - Yes.
I used to play professional cricket earlier.
- And... - Wow!
So, fitness has always been an essential component of my life.
- Okay. - But I have a background in computer science.
What level did you play at?
- State level... - Really!
- Ranji. - I never saw you. Which state did you represent?
- Hyderabad. - I represented Delhi.
Sure, we believe you!
- You must have been a senior. - I was a batsman.
- Senior! - [unanimous laughter]
I was an all-rounder.
- You seem like a fast bowler given your height. - That's right.
Don't you remember me hitting six runs of all your six deliveries?
Sorry, just joking. Just kidding.
We can play after we're done here.
- Oh! Challenge accepted. - Done.
- Challenge accepted. - Listen...
He won't show up!
- Yes. - Tell him after the funding.
You and me.
- Got it. - [unanimous laughter]
Alright. Good. Who does what in this company?
So, you designed this product.
- It's a team effort. It's everybody. - We all made it.
I must say, that UI and UX-wise and immersive experience-wise,
it's a good product.
- It's very nice. - It's too good.
- So, you built both the hardware as well as the software. - Yes.
I have a fundamental question for you.
What is its price?
- It is priced at Rs. 1,25,000. - Rs. 1,25,000.
Why do I need this?
Technology has advanced manifold.
Phone cameras have such advanced capabilities.
You merely need to connect your smartphone to your TV.
And exactly what you showed here
can be accessed on your existing TV screen
at no additional cost.
- Right. - Why should I pay Rs. 1,25,000?
[intense music playing]
You are absolutely right.
Nowadays, there are many software apps and capabilities
that will give you some or other feedback about your form
as well as an immersive experience on the TV. Alright?
But we've conducted extensive research.
Coming to our target audience,
for them, the form factor and experience
are the most important aspects that keep them motivated.
So, one of the USPS of our product is personalisation.
We are personalising at an extremely granular level.
Using just a 2D camera, we transform you into 3D.
Not just limited to your angles, body curvatures and muscle loading.
All of it is converted into 3D.
It is a much deeper science.
Beyond fitness and wellness.
How many cameras does it have for it to...
It ran quite seamlessly.
It actually is fitted with depth sensors
as well as time-of-light cameras.
Have you positioned them or were they already there?
No, we have positioned them and put algorithms in place.
Let me give you the backstory.
Our last company was a 3D body scanning company.
- Interesting. - We'd take automatic body measurements
for the fashion and fitness industries.
What was the company's name?
It was FitStory, but internationally it was called TG3D.
We recently licensed it out in January 2020
to a renowned fashion company.
Could you tell me again what did the tech do??
Automatic body measurements in three seconds.
Using a phone?
- Depth sensor. - It carried out depth sensing in an enclosure.
- Ah! - Depth sensing enclosure.
You quit that and started this.
They didn't quit it, they're making revenue.
How much revenue?
- Right now we get 2 million dollars per year. - How much...
- Wow! - Same company?
- What are you doing here? - Not this company.
A different one?
- With whom? - You have two jobs.
Just you two?
There was another investor.
If you bring that here, I'll invest right away.
No, this bothers me.
- When we raised money through a VC for this company... - Yes.
Their stipulation was
that we do not get involved in their business and we honoured it.
We have no decision-making rights.
You mentioned that a VC round has been raised.
When did it take place, how much was raised
- and what was the valuation? - Yes.
We started Portl in March 2021.
for Rs. 7.5 crores.
From June until April 2022,
we built the product, a team as well as the content.
We started sales in April 2022.
This is for the next three years.
Tell us about the product.
- How much does it cost and what's your profit? - Yes.
- What are your expenses? - Hmm.
At present, we are making money.
We have unit level positive economics on the device.
But the Rs. 50 crores you'll make over the next 12 months...
- Yes. We... - You'll make a profit from these orders.
We will be burning about Rs. 3 crores.
- Not 50 crores, Rs. 60 crores. - No.
It'll be at the operational level, the EBITDA level.
- Why? - Why so?
We've not done any marketing in India.
But you have received 5000 orders.
You'll get word-of-mouth publicity. Why do you need marketing?
[intense music playing]
If I may interject, the customer, as you said,
whether it's a reseller, distributor or local marketer,
has to sell it on to someone else.
So, marketing, awareness
and customer education becomes imperative.
We have taken responsibility to conduct the marketing.
You'll have to work hard to create brand awareness.
- Absolutely. - But why is it needed in India
- when your customers are abroad? - Such a product...
Tell us how you market such a product.
- It's possible... - It's a highly experiential product.
It falls under luxury marketing
- and premium marketing. - But many small countries fall under GCC.
Every country has its own Instagram page.
Then why would you market in India?
Marketing there is a tedious job as it is.
No, we see opportunity in India too.
It's 1% as compared to that opportunity.
No, they've just started. They've sold only 5000 products.
- The business has just taken off. - Yes.
- We started our journey just four months ago... - Correct.
As far as sales and market expansion go.
Just for clarification.
You have one order
for 5000 pieces a year
- for the next three years. Confirmed. - Yes.
It means you have an order value worth Rs. 150 crores.
It's confirmed for the next three years.
- And the buyer cannot back out. - Yes, correct.
- Is that for certain? - Yes, it is.
- Okay. - It's an ironclad contract.
Okay, alright.
What is your company's vision?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
We're going to look at two things on this front.
One is to make this available
and make Portl the personalised health,
fitness and lifestyle companion.
And then God willing,
we'll get acquired by someone
or maybe we'll acquire someone. We don't know.
Leave that aside.
Your last valuation was Rs. 30 crores.
- Mine too! - Peyush first!
Please hear him out. Let him speak first.
I hope you know my offer.
My offer of Rs. 1.5 crores for 5% equity matches your last round.
I have an offer for you.
I think you should run your business profitably. Instead of
spending money on marketing,
you must focus on word-of-mouth and your content to avoid expenses.
You asked for a valuation of Rs. 150 crores
but I'll give you a valuation of Rs. 50 crores.
So I offer Rs. 50 lakhs
for 1% equity and
What is your monthly burn rate?
because we'll soon cater to a larger round.
- What's the size of the round? Is Kalaari participating? - Of course!
- Kalaari agreed to participate? - At a pro-rata basis.
Please hear us out now.
Peyush, will you make an offer or I should say first?
I could join you.
Alright! Please listen to our offer.
[sweeping music]
Aman and I offer
Rs. 1 crore for 2% equity
[suspenseful music]
The business of mirrors has a limited market.
Your UI is good and you have knowledge of the software.
You do great 3D scanning and you can give good feedback.
If you utilise your skills,
let alone a 100 million-dollar company,
you could be a 1 billion dollar company.
[sweeping music]
What's the equity distribution between you three?
Thank you, Vineeta. And thank you, Anupam, for your offers.
But we have a counteroffer for Aman, Namita and Peyush.
[suspenseful music]
Our counteroffer is
Rs. 1.5 crores for 2.5% equity.
I think we can go ahead with Rs. 1.5 crore at 2.5%
- Namita, I'm not okay with it. - Aren't you okay with it?
Let's discuss it once.
But Namita and I are okay with Rs. 60 crores valuation.
I think it's fine.
- My friend... - It's good...
- Hold on! If Peyush is excluded... - 60 crores valuation for what.
Hold on! Please wait for a minute.
- Shall we discuss it in private? - Sure!
[suspenseful music]
We will give you Rs. 1.5 crore for 2.5% equity
Alright?
- That's the round we are raising. - Done! So can we do a deal?
- Yay! - Woo-hoo!
- Thank you! - You guys are fabulous!
- Well done! - Thank you!
[triumphant music]
[ethereal music]
- Hello, Sharks! - Hello!
Well, who is she?
Is it you?
Oh my God!
Well, Sharks, it's me! It's my transformation
- from 86 kg to 56 kg. - Wow!
And I have a radiant face, healthy hair and an active lifestyle!
and I'm the director of FAT TO SLIM.
[upbeat music]
Sharks, obesity is the number one problem nowadays.
Obesity leads to diseases like PCOD,
thyroid, diabetes and infertility too.
Sharks, it's not that people don't want to be fit
or lose weight. They surely want to lose weight.
But a well-balanced diet has now become a luxury.
"We'll have to buy expensive items to become thin."
"I'll have to manage time."
Or a friend would pass a comment,
"Go to the gym and slog for hours together."
Sharks, we have a solution to this problem.
It's a diet plan of FAT TO SLIM.
The masalas in your kitchen
will save you from obesity.
We'll serve you cauliflower instead of broccoli.
[comical music]
We'll make you eat potatoes instead avocados.
Because potatoes won't make you obese instead they'll make you fit.
[laughing]
We have done it successfully all over the world.
You needn't make time for it.
You may follow your own time schedule
and become fit without exercising.
As diet makes 80% and exercise makes just a 20% difference.
Sharks, our vision
is whenever a person thinks about fitness and losing weight,
they recall only one name and that is FAT TO SLIM.
So, Sharks, firstly, I want your mentorship
[laughing]
Please tell us what you ate. We may eat it to reach your energy level.
[laughing]
You know, when I was fat, I had less energy
and my confidence was low too.
In a diet, we may eat salad, soup and other things. I'm a mother.
Right? We have a busy schedule
which makes these things impossible.
Sharks, while studying diet and nutrition
I started following a unique concept
that helped me lose weight as you can see for yourself.
It didn't affect my body and I didn't exercise.
[laughing]
Sharks, we are doing this all around the world.
Firstly, you look gorgeous.
Ma'am, we have more than 30 franchises all over the world.
In January, we'll become the first brand to be present in Pakistan.
Ma'am, we have several testimonies.
We used normal diet plans and the magic of spices
But I have a problem.
How can you mention 'no exercise'?
I'm a fitness freak and I work out seven days a week.
If I don't exercise, I don't feel good.
Look! I'll give you an example.
We observed a group of old women in all the localities
where we stayed since childhood go for walks
but they never lose fat!
[laughing]
Just think about it. We never saw a fatso getting a fit body suddenly.
[chuckling]
Oh my God!
That woman has always been fat and she still is.
Ma'am, that's because our diet makes a difference of 80%.
She's our client who reduced to 57 kg from 86 kg within 6 months.
And that is without exercising.
She didn't lose her radiance and her body isn't saggy.
[chuckling]
Sir, she's another client.
You may see the difference in her weight within three months.
I can assure you that if you follow our diet,
you'd be energetic with healthy hair and you'd look radiant.
Please explain the journey to us.
When a client comes to us,
first we ask about their height and weight.
We design their diet according to this information.
First, we make a ten-day diet.
Usually, people lose 2 to 3 kg of weight
in a ten-day diet.
Listen, losing 2-3 kg in ten days is very easy.
People lose water retention in the first phase.
Sir, that's true.
- Please go on. - Sir, let me tell you the charges.
The minimum charge for one month is Rs. 2,500
and it goes up to Rs. 3,000.
In the morning, take half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder with water.
Later, you may eat five basil leaves.
You may eat a sandwich made of two bread slices as breakfast.
You may have tea or coffee containing milk to go with it.
You may have two rotis and sabzi for lunch.
If you aren't allergic to glutton,
you may eat wheat rotis.
Suppose I note the diet you just suggested.
Then why will I come back to you?
Sir, our diet is magical.
Even the people who are already following a diet
come to us to restart a different diet with us.
You used the word 'restart'.
That's the problem.
I don't agree with your theory.
"No exercise!"
"They come to us to restart a different diet."
Let's spread the message that weight loss
happens by changing one's lifestyle.
Our country is turning into a diabetes capital
and a blood pressure capital as people follow such diets blindly.
[adventurous music]
They are messing with their health.
I'm sorry but when I hear such claims, I'm infuriated.
[tense music]
I think we need to stop misguiding the country.
For that reason, I'm out.
Shikha, the concept of making
people slim without exercise
is something I won't be aligned with in long term.
[dramatic music]
And to each their own.
I won't participate with you today but best of luck.
[dramatic music]
I have lightly studied
diabetes and other such diseases because I feel that the sugar content
creates an imbalance in our bodies.
Right!
If a person is suffering from diabetes or pre-diabetes,
what diet would you recommend? It will help me know
if your diet works.
Sir, if a person is pre-diabetic,
they can have sprouts in the morning.
Rice sprouts would be healthy for them.
They can eat poha and upma.
But one must add plenty of vegetables.
They can have tea or coffee containing milk
but use stevia instead of sugar.
Green chillies help control diabetes.
I got your point. According to macronutrients,
you are recommending a diet full of carbohydrates
because you didn't recommend protein till now.
It's akin to poison for a diabetic.
Home remedies can be followed
to a certain limit.
When people had similar jobs,
similar treatments worked for them.
Now those remedies don't work. Now data needs to be seen.
Scientific data!
I think you reduced your weight
with dedication and it's a remarkable feat.
Now you are trying to sell the template
that worked for you to other people.
It could be dangerous.
No, sir. That isn't true. Trust me!
Our patients have benefited from us.
Sir, not a single patient
was harmed because of our diet.
We can't come to an agreement on this matter.
We can't bridge the gap
- between our opinions. Please tell us about your business. - Sure!
You are making 60% profit.
An investment will only make things worse.
You'll have a pressure of ROI after an investor invests.
So I'm out but I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you, sir!
In India, people should start accepting their bodies.
For this reason, I'm out. I wish you the best.
Alright!
Thank you, Ms Shikha! All the best!
'In the Shark Xperience segment,'
'Delhi's Nazia has a question.'
'Hi, Namita! As an upcoming entrepreneur,'
'how to break the ice in a meeting?'
'How do we make the first impression?'
Let me suggest the two ways I use.
Firstly, enter the room with a smile.
When you have a smile on your face,
it immediately puts people at ease.
Secondly, I always keep
one or two questions ready.
that interests them,
it gives them a chance to talk and it breaks the ice.
