Shark Tank India 2 is one of the most watched reality shows on Indian television. The show often makes it to the headlines for the pitchers that come to show the sharks their brands. During last night’s episode, the judges were blown away, when doctors Ashish and Preeti Rawandale bring a portable and disposable uroflowmetry system for detecting urine related disorders.
Explaining about their product and their vision behind it, the couple asks the sharks for Rs. 60 lakhs for 1% equity. While the judges seem skeptical about investing in their business, Ashish talks about his degrees. He goes on to recall how he rejected a robo surgeon at Detroit and returned to Maharastra, Dhule and started his own 20 bed Urologist centre, which by 2015, grew to 110 beds. He also shares that he owns a public limited company worth Rs 125 crore.
