Shark Tank India’s season 2 has been making it to the headlines for all the right reasons. In the latest episode it was seen that sharks Namita Thapar, Amit Jain and Peyush Bansal get into a verbal argument, when a contestant Arun Aggarwal pitches his invention Janitri for the health sector. The device he was speaking about offers, ‘medical-grade fetal and maternal monitoring solutions to use at hospitals or home.’
While all the sharks were left excited and commended Arun, who hails from a small city in Rajasthan, for his hard work of five years, Namita expressed her desire to make the deal. He had asked for Rs 1 crore in exchange for 2.5 per cent equity. Even Amit and Peyush offered the contestant a joint deal, but it was the executive director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals that won the deal.

All of them showed great interest and were very keen to know more about the brand and our journey with it. It’s a great moment for us because this social cause needs a huge amount of attention and awareness apart from funding.” ALSO READ: Shark Tank India 2: Yushika Jolly, Founder Of Paradyes, Alleges Receiving Hate Comments On The Internet; Says, ‘I Know My Business Better Than Any Keyboard Warrior’
