Shark Peyush Bansal takes his fellow Sharks back to 2010 as he pitches his business venture Lenskart!
India is today brimming with innovative ideas from business aspirants across the country. Giving a voice to this diverse entrepreneurship ecosystem, #SonyEntertainmentTelevision’s Indian adaption of the globally renowned business format – #SharkTank has successfully left an impactful mark in the minds of the audience and is now among the most talked-about shows in the country. Dinner conversations have shifted from cricket to business models or deals – Who knew a day like this would come clearly this proved the mindset flip the show brought about. The charisma of the Sharks and the panache of the pitchers won over India and the craze of the show was seen in the hilarious meme fest that spread like wildfire in social circles. Pitchers came from all walks of life to impress the Sharks with their extraordinary ideas, embracing a rising entrepreneurial spirit in the country.
As the show reached it final leg, Shark Peyush Bansal turned the tables on Shark Tank India as he enters the Tank as a pitcher and present his brand Lenskart. While the sharks who were excited to invest in revolutionizing concepts, wouldn’t have thought that their own co-Shark Peyush Bansal would be the one pitching to them. Well, this surely amps up the excitement not only for the sharks but also for the viewers as the Co-founder & CEO of Lenskart who aims to provide a vision to the entire world, will be taking the sharks on a nostalgic ride as he recreates his business pitch from 2010. Just like the other pitchers, Peyush asked for an investment of 1 crore for 1% equity in his company to which the other sharks gave in their fun take on it and share their memories of getting investment for their business. Will the sharks bite the bait on this one?
Talking about his experience pitching in the Tank, Shark Peyush Bansal said, “It reminded me of how naive and dreamy we were, and how a lot of the things we used to just say have now actually come true. I also think a lot of the things we check for in a startup today, we didn’t have it back then. So I believe, we should see if the entrepreneur is bettable because Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
