Amit shared that one of his favourite pitches from the last season was of an aachar company run by a pair of sister-in-laws. He said, “I was amazed at the kind of pitches that we saw last year. Also, there were so many emotions involved in their companies. I remember how this bhabhi-nanad jodi started an aachar company (Jha Ji) right from their home. The innovation and the passion were something never-seen-before. Also, they actually found some problems at the root and solved them. The hustling is so inspiring.”
When asked if he has struck a chord with the other sharks, Jain said, “We are not here to make friends, we are all sharks on this show. However, I never felt different. It was quite a normal experience, and we all had good fun.”
Talking about the show, the show is the Indian franchise of the American show of the same name, where known entrepreneurs listen to different business ideas and decide whether or not they want to invest in those ideas.
