00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,560
Tiggle!

5
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,280
Sharks, has it ever happened to you

6
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,760
that your hands and feet
have gone cold out of fear?

7
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,880
Well, mine sure did,

8
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,640
when at the tender age of 21,

9
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,200
carrying hot chocolate
in a steel jar,

10
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,160
I stood outside one of
Gurgaon's busiest metro stations

11
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:15,400
to test my idea all by myself.

12
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,000
The people leaving the station

13
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,440
were looking at me with curiosity

14
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,840
and wondering what I was doing
on the street.

15
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,840
I was nervous,

16
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,960
but in no time,
people gathered around me.

17
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Within 40 to 50 minutes,
my chocolate drink was all sold out.

18
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,680
And along with that giggle
began the story of Tiggle!

19
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,200
[light-hearted music playing]

20
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,800
in different flavours and packaging.

21
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,440
However, you will be
shocked to learn

22
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,280
that one out of the four
best-selling drinks in Indian cafés

23
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,920
is hot chocolate.

24
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,680
- Absolutely.
- And no one

25
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720
has ever explored this segment.

26
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,480
So, that was it.

27
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,560
The entrepreneurial bug in me
met my love for chocolate

28
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880
the colour of the room's walls
had turned to chocolate brown.

29
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,520
the favourite chocolate drink
of every Indian household.

30
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,360
- Good pitch, and you're here
in your brand's theme. - Thank you.

31
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,320
- I will tell you my story...
- Sure.

32
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,080
Before the hot chocolate turns cold..

33
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,040
- Give it to us first.
- Sure.

[light-hearted music playing]

35
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Which one's dairy-free?

36
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,520
[light-hearted music playing]

37
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,760
- Thank you.
- Means knowledge.

38
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,080
Oh, nice!

39
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,680
By the way, nice packaging.

40
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,360
- Very nice packaging.
- Nice packaging.

41
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800
This one's hot and this one's cold.

42
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,240
[light-hearted music playing]

43
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Hmm.

44
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,920
- Very tasty.
- It is very good.

45
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Really good.

46
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040
I think we should start with you.

47
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Tell us about yourself.

48
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Would you want to know in detail?

49
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,280
- In brief. Briefly.
- Good one.

50
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Okay. I hail from Agra.

51
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,520
I completed my graduation in 2019.

52
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,520
I was bitten by
the entrepreneurial bug in college.

53
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,000
I tried a thing or two,
but they were more like projects.

54
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,360
That was one of the things
that triggered Tiggle's inception.

55
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,400
I started working on it
in August or September 2020.

56
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,600
I tasted cocoa from over
50 cocoa farms in South India.

57
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,680
Finally, we launched Tiggle
in 2021 in the D2C space.

58
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,680
Why the name Tiggle?

59
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,080
Take a wild guess.

60
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,040
- Giggle...
- Giggle on being tickled?

61
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,240
You are right.
Tickle plus giggle equals to Tiggle.

62
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,320
[chuckles]

63
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,600
- It's vibrant.
- It's a good name.

64
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Did you get a website
with the name?

65
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Kids are not
our target segment currently.

66
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Don't you think
you're making a mistake?

67
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Just think about it.

68
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:03,360
- A lot of youngsters
are weight-conscious. - Got it.

69
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,200
So, don't you think
the target audience should be kids?

70
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,680
It's possible that our consumption,

71
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,560
in children, might be higher,

72
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800
but, like me, a lot of people

73
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960
get jitters about drinking coffee
and tea doesn't appeal to them.

74
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,680
Anuva, personal experiences
don't create markets.

75
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,280
- If you see a bigger market
with kids in the beginning... - Yes?

76
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,000
- And the resistance will be low,
you should start with them. - Yes.

77
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Why start with a difficult market?

78
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,080
It's not like adults
don't consume chocolate drinks.

79
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,120
Globally, chocolate drinks...

80
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Just the way you look at coffee...

81
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,320
Tell me this.

82
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,280
A decade or two ago,
had you imagined

83
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,440
that coffee would be able to compete
with tea in India?

84
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640
What is the market size
of hot chocolate for non-kids?

85
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,480
Globally, the chocolate drink
market size is 10 to 15%

86
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,200
if you see from the point of view
of chocolate.

87
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:59,160
In our country, the chocolate market
is Rs. 20,000 crores

88
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,640
the market size of pure
hot chocolate wouldn't be that big.

89
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,000
Yes, it's not so big.

90
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,240
If there is competition,
tell us which is the biggest brand

91
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,360
and what their sales are,
so that we can get an idea.

92
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,320
If you look at the mass level,

93
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,520
our competitors are companies
like Cadbury.

94
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,840
- Hershey's... - Could you give us
an idea of their sales?

95
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,960
Rs. 35 to 40 crores
on Amazon.

96
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,920
- Just from Amazon.
- Okay.

97
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,760
Apart from that,
in the last two years,

98
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:34,400
around three to five companies...

99
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,520
Artisanté is also a player.

100
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,680
Exactly. Your point.

101
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760
- I'll give you a break-up.
- Give us the economics, yes.

102
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:02,880
Right.
Let's start with this fiscal year.

103
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,360
The average across all...

104
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,680
[Sharks laugh]

105
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,520
You've come well-prepared.

106
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,560
Okay!

107
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040
- Tell us your profit margins.
- Sure.

108
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,640
- I'll get to the unit economics...
- Unit economics.

109
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,680
- The average across all products.
- Okay.

110
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,080
I sell this for Rs. 308.

111
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,360
With GST or without?

112
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Without GST.

113
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,280
You memorised the numbers
especially for the show.

114
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,200
I didn't. Our company
boasts of a solid culture.

115
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,520
You have to know the numbers.

116
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,520
- Oh, wow!
- It's obvious that...

117
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Why not, sir? One right person
is enough to promote a good culture.

118
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,040
- Oh, wow!
- Amazing.

119
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,880
Your last month's sales
were Rs. 12 lakhs.

120
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
What was your customer base?

121
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,560
We had 3,050 customers.

122
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,200
Out of 3,050 customers,
how many were repeat customers?

123
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,600
Could you give us separate figures?

124
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,280
I won't be able to tell you today,

125
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,840
but I definitely can
give you those numbers.

126
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,000
I don't wish to give you
incorrect numbers now.

127
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,880
Why should I buy your hot chocolate?

128
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Why would you win
in such a competitive market?

129
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,240
which you're going
to find fascinating.

130
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,760
[laughs]

131
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,400
We have a community.

132
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160
I sent them three samples.
A, B and C.

133
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,760
A and B were my products,
the Jaggery Hot Chocolate.

134
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,080
C was that of some other brand.

135
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,840
The main purpose was to find out

136
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,520
whether our A formulation
of the Jaggery Hot Chocolate

137
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,920
was better or the B one.

138
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,520
However, people selected
from A and B only.

139
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,600
Would you say,

140
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,200
out of all the hot chocolate brands
in India,

141
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,600
if a blind tasting were carried out..

142
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,120
You'd love Tiggle.

143
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,080
How old are you?

144
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,840
I turned 25, yes.

145
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,240
- You're amazing.
- Wow! You're very smart.

146
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,400
- You're amazing.
- I must tell you

147
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,960
that you're adaptable,

148
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,720
open to change

149
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,640
and you make it clear
if there's something you don't know.

150
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,880
You have all the qualities.

151
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,480
- You'll be a great entrepreneur.
- Clarity.

152
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:30,480
Thank you so much.

153
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:31,360
You'll do very well in life.

154
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,080
You spoke about culture
at such a young age.

155
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480
- Amazing. - Chocolate or not,
you'll do something big.

156
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:36,600
Thank you so much.

157
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,920
Firstly, I wish to compliment you
as a woman entrepreneur.

158
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,880
What clarity of thought!

159
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,160
You have a focused way of talking.
Loved it.

160
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,080
- Thank you.
- I genuinely feel

161
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,960
that the market for hot chocolate
in India is sizeably small.

162
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,000
To scale your brand beyond a point
will be really difficult.

163
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,440
For that reason, I'm out.

164
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,960
[sombre music playing]

165
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,920
Anuva, I wish to be out
of this business.

166
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,840
You are very good,

167
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,920
but in order to build
a successful business,

168
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,800
just as a successful entrepreneur
is important,

169
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,720
the market and the product
are equally important too.

170
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,920
You said that last month,

171
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,520
only 800 customers out of 37,000
were repeat, which is just 2%.

172
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,840
From where I see your business,

173
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,040
a consumer uses your product once
and then, forgets about it.

174
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,080
It seems to me
like the brand is weak, broadly.

175
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,800
So, it wouldn't make sense for me
to come on board as an investor.

176
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,040
Look, Anuva.
I don't quite understand

177
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,680
what the scale of your business
is going to be.

178
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,640
We couldn't determine
the market size either.

179
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,920
Well, what's the use
of coming on this show

180
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,000
if I don't support entrepreneurs
like you?

181
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,280
Entrepreneur over business.

182
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,520
I'll make an offer to you.

183
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,640
Thank you so much, Amit.

184
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,320
Rs. 20 lakhs in equity for 5%.

185
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,080
I'm valuing the company
at Rs. 4 crores.

186
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:15,040
- Anupam, have you made a decision?
- Yes.

187
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,480
I'm very happy you got an offer.

188
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,280
- I feel that your adult journey
is for another year. - Okay.

189
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,240
You will come out
an exceptional entrepreneur.

190
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,880
I believe this is your battle

191
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,440
and you need to make up your mind.

192
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:31,920
You have an offer.

193
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,080
I am out,

194
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,120
but any time I can help you,
I'll be there. Good luck.

195
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,520
Thank you so much, Anupam.

196
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,760
I really want to partner with you,

197
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,680
but past experiences hold me back
from repeating my mistakes.

198
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Debt is out of the question
in your case.

199
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,280
My offer to you
is Rs. 50 lakhs straight equity,

200
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,640
but I'll take
20% of the equity minimum.

201
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Right? Non-negotiable.

202
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,800
Plus...

203
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,480
I would want to take
at least 1% on net sales

204
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,880
till I recoup 2x of my money.

205
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,080
because it's a high-risk offer.

206
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,680
Will you be mentoring me?

207
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Of course!

208
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,400
I'll join in.

209
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,280
You have only one offer.

210
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,440
- One offer.
- Rs. 50 lakhs

211
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,920
for 20% equity plus 1% sales.

212
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,560
Let's keep it 2%.

213
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,680
until we get our Rs. 1 crore back.

214
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,280
I understand your risks

215
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,400
and I also understand
your thought process.

216
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,240
However, if you take 2% from me
until you double down,

217
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,640
it'd reduce my top line.

218
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,440
Suppose you do
Rs. 10 crore sales next year.

219
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,240
How much is 2% of Rs. 10 crores?

220
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,200
- Rs. 20 lakhs.
- 20 lakhs.

221
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,640
If you give us 20 lakhs, even then
we won't get our investment back.

222
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,840
- You know what I'm saying?
- It'd take years.

223
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,000
- It'll take years.
- That's fine.

224
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,240
Do away with the 2% royalty...

225
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,160
Listen, Anuva.

226
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,480
The likely scenario is your maximum
sales will be Rs. 15 to 20 crores

227
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,920
and no one will acquire you

228
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,680
because it's impossible
to get returns on investment.

229
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,920
Don't give us the money
if you don't make a profit.

230
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,680
The royalty applies
only when you make profits.

231
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,240
If you take a royalty of 2%,

232
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,880
could you lower the equity slightly
which will ensure

233
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,480
- you get your money...
- I'll make you an offer.

234
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,880
- No.
- Let's do it.

235
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,920
- Just one thing.
- It doesn't...

236
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,440
- 15% instead of 20.
- No...

237
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,720
Do it. Peyush, it's okay.

238
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,080
You can do the deal.

239
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Anuva, time to make a decision,
my friend.

240
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,720
- Yes or no? We're fine.
- Yes or no?

241
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,760
I wish you all the...

242
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,480
I need just ten seconds.

243
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,600
Stand your ground. Good.

244
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,520
[pensive music playing]

245
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,680
- Okay, big decision. - I'm sorry
I have to be so tough on you.

246
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,200
No, that's good training.

247
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,960
[chuckles] So sweet.

248
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,360
- Oh, God.
- I love the entrepreneur.

249
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,560
- Let's make a big company
out of Tiggle. - Yes.

250
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,400
- Thank you so much.
- Let's make Tiggle big.

251
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,160
[camera shutter clicking]

252
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,840
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

253
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,080
- Thank you so much.
- Loved meeting you.

254
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,600
- All the best.
- Buh-bye.

255
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,160
[theme music playing]

256
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,280
[music fades]

257
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,880
There was a time

258
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,880
when everyone in India

259
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,560
wanted to be a doctor
or an engineer.

260
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:23,960
Whereas today, the only thing
everybody wants to become

261
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,600
is an influencer.

262
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,000
Not everyone has as many followers
as an influencer though.

263
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,960
Yet, everyone loves
to post photos on social media.

264
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,560
I'm sure you have such friends too.

265
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,400
Until they don't post
loads of photos on Instagram,

266
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,920
neither does their food
get digested

267
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,600
nor is their urge
of wearing new outfits satisfied.

268
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,000
What do they gain by doing this?

269
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,480
Not money for sure.

270
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:52,080
Until now!

271
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,760
So, we present to you

272
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,160
a wild card entry
to living the life of an influencer.

273
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,040
A card that pays you money
for those photos.

274
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:07,960
Hi, Sharks. My name is Dishant.

275
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,320
I am Rij.

276
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,920
The world's first

277
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,160
or dine at our partner restaurants.

278
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,280
and give them a chance
to upgrade their lifestyles.

279
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,840
So, Sharks, our ask is

280
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,400
one Instagram post

281
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,120
I would like
to give you all your cards.

282
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,200
They are personalised cards.

283
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,000
Anupam, this is yours.

284
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,240
- Which one? This one?
- Yes.

285
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,240
Thank you, bro.

286
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,920
- Azhar, this is yours.
- Thank you, Dishant.

287
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,520
[light-hearted music playing]

288
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,120
- The card is good.
It's personalised. - It's good.

289
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,160
- It says founder member
at the bottom. - Nice.

290
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,120
That's right.

291
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,160
- Loved the gesture.
- What confidence!

292
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Great marketing, guys. Fantastic!

293
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:20,680
- No, explain how it works.
- I don't get it yet honestly.

294
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,720
Sharks, whoever has more than
1000 followers on Instagram

295
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,680
can apply for a WYLD card.

296
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:26,960
And our entire journey

297
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,360
is primarily through a mobile app.

298
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,160
Once you sign up,

299
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,760
your virtual card is displayed
on the app.

300
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,240
And as much money you load,
you can use.

301
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,520
In our brands section,

302
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,680
So, you can click on 'Buy now' and
directly purchase from the website.

303
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,880
Even your offline stores,

304
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,240
a user can do a transaction.

305
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,320
So, as you see here, as a post

306
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,480
you will receive 60
per cent cashback.

307
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,840
And you will get 30 per cent
cashback, if posted as a story.

308
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,920
With these limits.

309
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,200
I have to use this card to spend
at Lenskart store.

310
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,400
Yeah, correct.

311
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,560
So, if someone shops at
a Lenskart store.

312
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,120
Let's assume the shopping
is worth Rs 5000.

313
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,680
So after shopping for Rs 5000,
he has to post on Instagram.

314
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,920
Does he have to use any hashtag
or something?

315
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,720
They have to tag Lenskart
and WYLD.

316
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,840
They have to tag Lenskart and WYLD.

317
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,800
Then this card

318
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,040
will get the cashback.

319
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:43,520
- 60 or 30 per cent.
- Shall I show you a live demo?

320
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,600
A demo. Yes.

321
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,600
Uh, we will do a transaction now.

322
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,560
I just paid Rs 1000 from this card.

323
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,000
- I will...
- Here,

324
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:58,160
you can see the transaction of
Rs 1000 in your history.

325
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,440
- You went to Instagram and posted.
- Yes, we posted.

326
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,120
I tagged Lenskart and WYLD
while displaying the product.

327
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,400
So the product has to be shown.

328
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,160
- Correct.
- Correct.

329
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,160
You are turning customers into
marketeers.

330
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,800
I think it's the best positioning.

331
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,720
- And that is the idea.
- It's very natural.

332
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,240
Clarify one more thing.

333
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,000
Right now, the 60 per cent cashback,

334
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,520
are the brands bearing it now?

335
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Or do you offer it too?

336
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:22,480
The brands are bearing it.

337
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,240
so you can see cashback worth
Rs 600.

338
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:33,160
It's back in the card.

339
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,880
You got Rs 600 back in this.

340
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,880
- Exactly.
- And I've paid you this.

341
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,440
Correct.

342
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Wow! Give me back my money.
[laughing]

343
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,480
No, you didn't give it to us.

344
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,400
- You gave it to the customer.
- That's the whole point.

345
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,960
Because the customer is marketing
for you.

346
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,440
And where can he use this Rs 600
to shop? Anywhere?

347
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,600
You can use it to shop anywhere.
It's a visa-powered card.

348
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,480
But you will receive the money
from the brand later.

349
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,200
So, you must require
working capital.

350
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,760
So, we ask our brands,

351
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,160
just like they have a budget for
digital marketing,

352
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,800
you sign a budget that makes
you comfortable.

353
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,600
Are these the only two slabs?

354
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,600
Second question, who decides it?

355
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,360
So, basically,

356
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,600
when you apply for any financial
product, there's a credit score.

357
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,240
Similarly, we've created

358
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:37,360
And the best part

359
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,080
is that if you have a score between
900 and 1000

360
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,040
then you get a 100 per cent on post

361
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,440
- and 80 per cent on story.
- Then, we can shop anywhere.

362
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:44,840
Absolutely.

363
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,480
Your cashback number is amazing.

364
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,640
I mean, so high, 15 per cent.

365
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,640
Tell me something.

366
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Will the brands accept it?

367
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,600
You have set a standard.
Each brand will say

368
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,280
that they might want to give
some amount over Rs 700.

369
00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:59,080
My brand is paying already.
They already managed to convince.

370
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,320
I don't even know it.

371
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Peyush, you will be convinced
by the end of the pitch.

372
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,960
Our reach of around 40 lakhs so far,

373
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,000
we tried to calculate
the market rates

374
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,800
that if a brand needs similar reach,

375
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,600
then what would be the real cost?

376
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,320
And that's close to around
Rs 35-40 lakhs.

377
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,480
That same thing

378
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,720
we've done for our brands
within 5-6 lakhs.

379
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,000
I was purchasing from competitor
brands to date

380
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,280
and today, I've purchased
from a new brand

381
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,040
and am posting it on social media.

382
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,280
Since I connect a lot with

383
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:39,240
- being young, I mean...
- He will surely make an offer.

384
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,600
- I...
- Hey! Hold on.

385
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,480
What do you mean by being young?

386
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,520
You're young, too.

387
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,200
No, being young? Are you
being generous?

388
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,920
What do you mean by being young?

389
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,240
- Don't have ageism in your pitch.
- Okay.

390
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:55,560
Anyway, I connect a lot with
this problem.

391
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,640
I feel that social media can be used
for marketing very well.

392
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,960
So, I'd like to move to numbers.

393
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:02,800
How many users?

394
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,160
So far, we have 500 active users.

395
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,360
You didn't tell us how
you make money.

396
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,520
Yeah.

397
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,080
Namita, we have three
revenue streams.

398
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,080
- Yeah.
- Firstly, through the brands.

399
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,480
Since we're driving sales for
the brands,

400
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,280
regardless of whether the user
posts or does marketing,

401
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,280
Since it's a visa-powered card,

402
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:51,720
there's an interchange fee
or MDR fee, right?

403
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,640
we offer membership to the users.

404
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,200
Are you making monthly income
at present?

405
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,160
It's negligible, bro.
It's pre-revenue.

406
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,080
- Right.
- So, this Lenskart glasses that

407
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,720
you bought for Rs 1000,

408
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,600
- you made Rs 110 on that.
- Rs 110.

409
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,280
Leave something for us too.

410
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,400
You gave Rs 600 to that person,
and kept Rs 100 for self.

411
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,880
We won't be able to function
with Rs 300.

412
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,800
We are the only form of marketing

413
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,680
through which you're making money.

414
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Who is the CEO?

415
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,320
He's answering so I'm letting
him answer.

416
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,520
What do you do?

417
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,120
Okay. You're COO.

418
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,880
You said something earlier.

419
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,800
You said that manually,
someone approves the transaction.

420
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,480
How will you scale this up?

421
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,400
Sir, as of now, our transaction
volume is not so high.

422
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,480
But over time, with AI,
the brand names

423
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,800
- and all of that.
- AI.

424
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,480
You can map it.

425
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,800
- So, this technology is possible.
- Of course.

426
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,600
But a connected question is that

427
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,880
you're fundamentally...

428
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,760
There are advertising platforms.

429
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,720
- You're just extracting money
using them. - Correct.

430
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,120
Right? So, they'll consider you
as a threat sooner or later.

431
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,080
How will you solve that?

432
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,360
That definitely today is
a dependency.

433
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,960
That we're dependent on Meta
and Instagram platforms.

434
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,240
So, it's a risk.

435
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,880
You don't know what the solution
will turn out to be.

436
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,200
But that's a risk. That's fine.
I accept that.

437
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,720
There was a Groupon company
that made big noise globally.

438
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,840
Their biggest problem

439
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,920
was that by sending your customers

440
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,960
back to you

441
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,200
to take cashback

442
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,800
and to build a business
on this commission.

443
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,360
- Correct.
- So, ultimately business and

444
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,440
companies, and local restaurants
got it that

445
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,040
If you think about
the Lenskart transaction,

446
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,760
I don't know how many per cent
people today

447
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,560
post about their last transaction
at Lenskart.

448
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,120
Imagine 10-20 people posting
about you every day.

449
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,080
Your own customers, organically.

450
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,200
But if they repeat their posts,
the influencing power reduces.

451
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,680
We have some rules to it.

452
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,640
Like, you can't post more than twice
per month about a brand.

453
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,480
- Limit.
- You can set your own rules.

454
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,800
Look, many people are raising
questions here.

455
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,400
But there are so many questions

456
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,560
that we will seek answers for
on the way.

457
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,720
I believe strongly in
the core concept.

458
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,760
So, I'd like to join you in
this journey.

459
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Whoa! Offer.

460
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,640
[music playing]

461
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,880
Since it has just been two months,

462
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,120
it's early, I think the valuation
is too high.

463
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,240
So, I'd like to offer you
Rs 50 lakhs, all in equity.

464
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,040
You didn't even ask.

465
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,440
- Sorry.
- That's why you're junior.

466
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,400
[music playing]

467
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,120
He got excited.

468
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,440
Tell me the previous
round numbers quickly.

469
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,120
So, if Azhar is okay, I'd like
to join him.

470
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,080
Your offer is the same.

471
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,160
Meta site, are too many.

472
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,080
But the team and concept
looks good.

473
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,040
- So, I'll make you an offer.
- Oh!

474
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,960
I'll give you Rs 11 lakhs
for 0.2 per cent equity.

475
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,560
At Rs 55 crore valuation.

476
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,480
And rest will be Rs 39 lakhs
in debt.

477
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,120
- Mind your business, please.
- My offer is with debt, Anupam,

478
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,400
you can offer without debt.

479
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,360
[laughing] Good one.

480
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,360
- Thank you.
- Thank you for the offer.

481
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,240
I have honoured your valuation.

482
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,720
So, you have to decide whether
you want debt,

483
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,680
youth, or a person who asks
many questions.

484
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,000
Or do you want wisdom?

485
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,280
Or, there's one more thing.

486
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,480
I'm wild too.

487
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,320
- Oh!
- So here's my offer, guys.

488
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,760
I don't think you should take debt.

489
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,320
I don't think you should give
5 per cent of your company.

490
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,360
I think there's a lot
of regulation risk.

491
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,400
I think that pivoting will
happen multiple times.

492
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,480
I'm very impressed with
you. Sorry, I forgot your name.

493
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:17,280
Yash.

494
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,880
- Yash, I'm very impressed.
- That's how impressed he is.

495
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,600
Yeah, that doesn't matter.

496
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,400
I'm very impressed with you and I
think the team combination is good.

497
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,680
That is 2.75%.

498
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,040
But he has already
cracked the tech part.

499
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,080
Okay, tell us your decision.

500
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,280
Our dream will be to

501
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,360
have all of you on board.

502
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,720
And our counter is,
we could all come on at

503
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,280
the same valuation that
we have of Rs. 50 crores.

504
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,320
instead of giving
that petty Rs. 10 lakh,

505
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,640
he gave you that
equity for Rs. 50 lakh.

506
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,720
- We're really grateful for this.
- Yeah.

507
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,920
We've got that done for you.

508
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,120
You didn't do it, I gave it
because the founders wanted it.

509
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,600
- Oh!
- Listen.

510
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,520
I won't be tough on you.

511
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,280
But respecting your valuation,

512
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,320
I'll give you Rs. 50 lakh for 1%.

513
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,320
But my total ownership will be 1.5%.

514
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,880
How you give me that 0.5%,
whether it's advisory, etc.

515
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,560
Rs. 75 lakhs for 1.5%.

516
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,920
Me, Namita and Azhar will come.

517
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,840
Guys, all offers are now of the
same valuation of Rs. 50 crores.

518
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Rs. 75 lakh for 1.5%.

519
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,920
Rs. 75 lakh for 1.5%
from these three.

520
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,840
Rs. 50 lakh for 1%,
the valuation is the same.

521
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:39,520
Right.

522
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,840
The value is more
here. Make your decision.

523
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:41,360
Yeah.

524
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,320
- No chance of...
- No chance.

525
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,400
No chance.

526
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,280
[music playing]

527
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,480
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

528
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:56,840
Anupam, the deal is yours.

529
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,400
I got you your valuation.

530
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,160
Oh, look at that sign.

531
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,280
Anupam rarely wins.

532
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,720
[laughing]

533
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,640
- Thank you so much.
- All right, guys.

534
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:18,800
Good deal.

535
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,080
Great deal, guys. All the best.

536
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,040
Thank you so much, guys. Thank you.

[music playing]

539
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,040
Hi, I'm Mahek.

540
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,400
And we're from Bengaluru.

541
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,120
We asked people

542
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,880
whether the food in
your house is boring.

543
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,520
83% of people responded yes.

544
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,040
And why not?

545
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,680
They're viewing new
things on the internet.

546
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,080
They want to make
pasta, Chinese and momos.

547
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,840
But they only know to
make instant noodles.

548
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,040
This is our gap in the market.

549
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,800
And to fulfill this, we created

550
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,880
Because all the
cooking happens in it.

551
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,040
It has heating elements and sensors.

552
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,680
The practice of increasing
or reducing the flame

553
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,680
is done automatically
by the appliance.

554
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,800
But how does it know

555
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,920
when to reduce the flame
and when to increase it?

556
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,560
Assume that upliance has been

557
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,880
possessed by the
spirits of many chefs.

558
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,440
Kashmiri, Tamil,

559
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,840
Chinese, Italian, upliance
is trained in all the skillsets.

560
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,600
And all of it is available
at the press of a button.

561
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,440
to add paneer and I don't have it,

562
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,640
then I'm stuck.

563
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,840
For that, upliance
has an AI chatbot.

564
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,680
Chinese and Italian food in it?

565
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,640
And Sharks, we are
designed for India.

566
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,120
Designed in India.

567
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,360
Made for India and made in India.

568
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,640
So, our ask for this today is

569
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,120
Amazing.

570
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,800
Nice tagline.
Make whatever you want.

571
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,240
Very good pitch.

572
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,040
I'd like to give you a
demonstration of our product.

573
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,440
We'll cook something.

574
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,840
- What are we making?
- We're making Kadhai Paneer.

575
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,120
Ah, nice!

576
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,800
This is upliance.

577
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,440
All the cooking
happens in this smart jar.

578
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,480
Today, we'll cook for two.

579
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,320
Who are the three who
are going to be hungry?

580
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,480
[laughing]

581
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,120
All the ingredients
are available here.

582
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,080
On this side, you'll see a weighing
scale with a magnetic plate.

583
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,600
You can weigh it here.

584
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,440
Then you can add
it to the cooking jar.

585
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,240
[music playing]

586
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,320
Okay, I'll go
to the first step...

587
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,280
Instant cook.

588
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,120
where it shows paneer,

589
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,920
Kashmiri chilli,
coriander powder and salt.

590
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,160
I'll add all the
ingredients for mixing.

591
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,680
And you've already measured it?

592
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,720
A video is playing here.

593
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,000
- Got it.
- Very interesting.

594
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,360
I'll add all of it.

595
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,800
Then I'll mix all of it.

596
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,120
The spice is amazing.

597
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,800
It's all a game of
the spice mix, buddy.

598
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,960
Okay, I'll move to the next step.

599
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,600
And over here, we'll
start the tempering.

600
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,080
[music playing]

601
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,800
I have added the tempering.

602
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,240
As soon as I add it, the
safety feature kicks in here.

603
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,080
It won't spill out now.

604
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,520
Okay? I'll move to the next step.

605
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,560
This is called sauteing spices.

606
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,240
I have pressed the start button.

607
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,720
This is the crown. It's asking
you to remove the crown.

608
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,720
It's like how you remove the lid
of a pan to let the steam escape.

609
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,320
The blade is moving very slowly now.

610
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,200
It's doing the
work of a stirrer now.

611
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:01,960
Interesting.

612
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,840
Gradually, you'll see the
temperature on the screen here.

613
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,080
The temperature is
gradually increasing.

614
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,880
upliance understands what's inside

615
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,960
and what cuisine am I cooking.

616
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,080
The aroma is nice.

617
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,960
How long does it take?

618
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,200
Almost similar, but it
reduces your kitchen time.

619
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,440
So, in the next step, we have
to add garlic, onion, green chilli.

620
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,000
You have to manually
do the chopping?

621
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,640
This is the most difficult part.

622
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:31,320
You can add the whole thing.

623
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,760
There's no need to do it.

624
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,640
is that you've stored everything.

625
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:44,520
The recipes, the temperature, etc.

626
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,520
AI usually has a generative
or predictive element.

627
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,240
It's able to do this

628
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,440
because upliance has information

629
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,400
like the vibrations in it...

630
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,880
- It's still big.
- [indistinct]

631
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,200
We wanted it that way.

632
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,040
So, it takes feedback
from the vibrations.

633
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,320
It takes feedback from
the speed of the blade.

634
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,360
If you add tempering to this now,

635
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,040
we come to know what type
of tempering it is.

636
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,760
We have 700 more users

637
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,240
who also when add tempering,

638
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,560
all their temperature data,

639
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,840
motor speed data,
motor current data,

640
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,160
everything is streamed
on the internet.

641
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:30,920
What's the big science
behind tempering spices?

642
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,520
It's my mom's direct quote.

643
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,160
The difference between
a great tempering

644
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,280
and an average tempering is when
you go from high flame to low flame.

645
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,680
I have not understood
what's the AI in this.

646
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,600
To put the AI question
very simply in one line.

647
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:49,640
For instance,
we're making Kadai Paneer.

648
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,320
Our tastes in food obviously vary.

649
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,400
He might prefer more salt
whereas I prefer more spice.

650
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,480
Will your machine prepare
five different Kadai Paneers for us

651
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,440
or will it make
just one type of Kadai Paneer?

652
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,800
Answer in yes or no.

653
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,240
[tense music playing]

654
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,240
It will be just one Kadai Paneer,

655
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,600
but the ingredients to start with
in your kitchens would be different.

656
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:09,760
The answer is no.

657
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,160
The output is no, right?

658
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,080
- The output will be the same.
- It's the same.

659
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,600
As per our understanding,
the actual use of AI

660
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,360
is when our outputs are customised.

661
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,240
- Correct.
- The inputs will be limited

662
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,920
and can be hard-coded quickly
into your system.

663
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,080
The AI comes into the picture

664
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,680
The software
is supporting your device.

665
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,560
It isn't the basis of your device.

666
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,520
I... Because I've met him...
I have met you.

667
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,680
I guess you built this device
around 1.5 years ago.

668
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:49,720
That was a prototype.

669
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,560
Your devices were
in around 100 to 150 households.

670
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,000
We conducted beta testing
in those households.

671
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,280
- Beta testing.
- Correct.

672
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Ever since, in 1.5 years,
you've only sold to 700 households.

673
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,760
You've changed the name
and added AI to it.

674
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,400
Is that the only change?

675
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,920
Or have you also raised funds
in the meantime?

676
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,080
We did raise funds

677
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,560
and we put the pre-production batch
in sales.

678
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,400
We currently have
700 paying customers.

679
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,480
What! It'd have been ready
by now had it been my home.

680
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,400
When Namita comes over,
she stays only for a few minutes.

681
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,000
If the food isn't ready, she leaves.

682
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:46,160
[laughter]

683
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:47,480
He's right.

684
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,160
I'm an IIT Mumbai graduate
from 2011.

685
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,160
Mohit and I
are from the same batch.

686
00:43:58,240 --> 00:43:59,640
We've known each other for 17 years

687
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,240
and we were both
doing hardware in India.

688
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,000
What gave you the idea
of making a cooking machine?

689
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,960
When I moved to Pune in 2013,

690
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,320
I thought I'd learn how to cook
but I won't take anyone's help.

691
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,280
For the first month,
I ate charred food

692
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:14,680
because I ended up burning it.

693
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,400
I worked for six months

694
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,800
and started making cooking machines
at the time.

695
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,600
After that, given my small operation
and my IP,

696
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:28,160
I was acqui-hired by
a tea-cafe company named Chaayos.

697
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,040
Why? What had you invented?

698
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,480
It was a cooking machine

699
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,240
which I claimed could make tea.

700
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,200
It was a rudimentary version
of this.

701
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,480
- We were way behind than this.
- Got it.

702
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,600
How much do you sell
each machine for?

703
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,480
Tell us about the price point.
What is the cost of making?

704
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:50,960
Give us a break-up.

705
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,240
We sell this for Rs. 20,000.

706
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:05,840
Just to clarify.

707
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,520
What will the cost drop to
once you manufacture it large scale?

708
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:09,720
Say, to Rs. 15,000,

709
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,200
- Your cost is Rs. 15,000.
- Yes. Sorry. Cost.

710

'The discussion on business
is on the verge of concluding, '

711

[tense music playing]

713
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,480
This is a big business
abroad already.

714
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,440
Could you tell us
who are the players?

715
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,920
The best product out there
is Thermomix.

716
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,640
This product sells
the equivalent of Rs. 1.3 lakhs.

717
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:50,960
They do a revenue of 3 billion euros

718
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,440
month on month
with just this product.

719
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:53,520
- Every month!
- Every month!

720
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,200
Every year...

721
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,360
What's the market size in India?

722
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,280
I'll compare it to Instant Pot
which is in India,

723
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,640
Wonderchef Nutri-Pot.

724
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,560
They were doing about 4,000
to 5,000 sales per month, combined.

725
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,200
Tell us the market size

726
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,880
for automatic cooking devices
for residences in India.

727
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,920
This... I don't have the...

728
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,480
What's the size globally?

729
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,880
2.5 billion dollars.

730
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,920
- You said Thermomix had 3 billion.
- Exactly.

731
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,880
I didn't consider Thermomix in this.

732
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,320
That doesn't make sense.

00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,960

734

Thank you.

[light-hearted music playing]

738
00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,680
Not bad.

739
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:02,240
The paneer is very good.

740

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

741
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,680
The paneer is tasting good
because we waited for 30 minutes...

742
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,400
- Exactly.
- We're hungry.

743
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,120
One minute,
I want to give feedback.

744
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,000
I waited for 35 minutes.

745
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,880
Yet the onions taste raw.

[tense music playing]

749
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,720
You gave us your feedback.

750
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,240
- We have two systems
to receive feedback. - Hmm.

751
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,000
We have a rating system
for the recipes.

752
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,080
We have an owners' community

753
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,640
where the owners let us know
if they liked something,

754
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,640
and even if they disliked something.

755
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,800
I didn't like the taste. I'm sorry.

756
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,400
It has reached only 700 homes
even after two and a half years.

757
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,240
You're operating at a loss.

758
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:55,960
With such sales,

759
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,400
you've asked for a valuation
of Rs. 100 crores.

760
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,560
I saw too many flaws in the product,
the founders and the thinking.

761
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,400
I would not like
to be part of your journey. Sorry.

762
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:07,640
I'm out.

763
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,320
How is this different
from a YouTube and a Nutri-Pot?

764
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,040
[tense music playing]

765
00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:17,200
Forget Nutri-Pot also.

766
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,680
If I take any pot and play YouTube,

767
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,040
then I don't need to learn cooking!

768
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,800
I believe today's market
is for commercial establishments.

769
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,440
There was a company
called Dosamatic.

770
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,920
They, too, tried really hard

771
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,120
to penetrate Indian households

772
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:33,240
to make 'dosas',
which is really complicated.

773
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,240
They ultimately gained success
with commercial establishments.

774
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,800
Its market does exist,

775
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,360
but it'll take 10 years
to build that market.

776
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,440
India, currently, in my view,
is not ready for this.

777
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,920
It's not as effective as you claim.

778
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,760
For that reason, I'm out.
Good luck, guys.

779
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:53,840
I also see a very limited market
for this in India at the moment.

780
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,360
Had this been fully automated

781
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,080
and I wouldn't have
to use 1% of my brain,

782
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,880
I might have shown some interest.

783
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,200
In this case, the value it adds
is comparatively...

784
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,720
Because human capital is cheap,
I have alternate ways to cook.

785
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,880
So, I don't really see
a need for it.

786
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,320
For that reason, I am out.

787
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,560
I don't quite understand
how big the market could grow.

788
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,200
You're selling 100 units
whereas others are selling 5,000.

789
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,000
Valuation is the second problem.

790
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,200
You are currently making a loss
of Rs. 9,000 per unit.

791
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,840
Let's assume you were making
a profit of Rs. 5,000 per unit,

792
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,240
even then your yearly profit
would only have been Rs. 60 lakhs.

793
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,120
I don't know
how you will scale the business.

794
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,680
So, for these reasons, I am out.

795
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,080
Tell me something.
How much investment did you raise?

796
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,400
Rs. 12 crores.

797
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:07,200
and cut down marketing costs
to zero.

798
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:08,840
We are growing organically.

799
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,320
What are your respective roles?

800
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,600
I'm the CEO and he's the CTO.

801
00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:13,640
Look. Here's what I feel.

802
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,720
You're able to articulate
the problem very well.

803
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,920
Namita asked you a question
about the taste.

804
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,000
Your reply was great.

805
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,480
You said you'd improve
based on feedback

806
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,600
rather than trying to justify
whether it tasted good or not.

807
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,680
You seem to be good
at decision-making too.

808
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,120
From a founder checklist
perspective,

809
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:28,600
you check off all the points.

810
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,720
On these fundamentals,
I wish to bet on you.

811
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,080
I will give you
Rs. 10 lakhs for 0.5%.

812
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,680
The rest Rs. 90 lakhs is debt.

813
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,360
He's valuing you at Rs. 20 crores.

814
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,680
That Rs. 90 lakhs debt,
I'll give you at 14% interest.

815
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,640
Rs. 90 lakhs debt at 14% interest.

816
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:02,800
Um, I think the valuation we set

817
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,640
is the valuation
we would want to stay at.

by asking such incredible questions.

and how many questions do we ask?

Anyway, joining us
on Ask The Shark today

829
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,160
is the Co-founder
and CEO of Lenskart,

830
00:51:57,240 --> 00:51:58,080
Mr. Peyush Bansal.

831
00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:59,520
- Sir, welcome.
- Thanks, Rahul.

832
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,520
Sir, today's question
is by Navneet Krishnan from Kochi.

833
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,880
'After the penetration
of artificial intelligence, '

834
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,840
'which jobs will become irrelevant
in your opinion?'

835
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,920
Rahul, I believe that none of
the jobs will become irrelevant.

836
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,440
Suppose a man does ten tasks a day,

837
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,080
that number will increase
to 30 or 40 a day

838
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,800
because a lot of things...

839
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,560
Take chatbots for instance.

840
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,280
- Correct. - The most important
in customer service.

841
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,560
It's not like

842
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,000
the jobs of customer service agents
have become irrelevant,

843
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,240
but a certain part of it,

844
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,320
- which was repetitive,
is taken over by AI. - Yes.

845
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,080
Secondly, the quality
of a person's work will improve.

846
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,000
Yes.

847
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,880
- I think, overall, that is good.
- Yes.

848
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,360
I don't think
any jobs will become obsolete.

849
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,840
When people are more productive
and efficient,

850
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,000
their pay will increase

851
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:49,120
- and the economy will progress.
- Yes.

852
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,040
I think it is all
in the right direction.

853
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,280
- Thank you so much for
joining us, sir. - Thank you, Rahul.
