He started his post by stating, “First it was ‘Sharks do not invest their own money’, then ‘Oh, the show is scripted’ & then ‘Sharks only fund profitable cos’. In every case, it’s not hard to spot a pre-determined, ill-intentioned narrative with no data or sources to back said claims.” Commenting on ‘another flimsy controversy,’ he pointed out that these claims are always presented with no data and no real names. He went on to break-down the claims in many pointers.
In the first point he mentions that many businesses that come on the reality show are at a very early stage as they need to be registered as companies. He mentions how some of the founders have never seen an SHA nor do they have ‘readily available numbers.’ Talking about the investments and the deals, in the second point, he explains that there are many reasons why they don’t go through. Some of them being “the founder changes their mind, the company fails legal, financial and/or tax diligence OR the founders do not meet the obligations agreed to while accepting a ‘conditional deal’.” ALSO READ: Shark Tank India’s Anupam Mittal Undergoes SURGERY, Shares PIC From Hospital Bed; Says 'Manzil Jab Aur Dur Ho Jaaye, Fight Harder'
Anupam concluded, “To founders who might have made such claims (questionable since we have no real names), here is an open invitation – please step forward. In the exceptional case that you have been wronged, let’s fix that. If you are just pissed off because you couldn’t extract money without meeting your obligations, well, lesson well learned.”
Talking about the show, it is an 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.
