New Delhi, Jan 29: A recent episode of Shark Tank India Season 5 witnessed a tense moment after a Delhi-based entrepreneur pitched his premium mixers brand Sepoy & Co., seeking Rs 3 crore in exchange for 2 per cent equity, placing a steep valuation of Rs 150 crore on the company.

Entrepreneur Angad Soni impressed the sharks initially with his product range, especially drawing praise for the branding, packaging and bottle design. However, the pitch soon took a dramatic turn as the panel expressed shock over the valuation, with Aman Gupta strongly questioning the logic behind the numbers.

During the interaction, Angad shared that he had previously worked in his family’s business that manufactures components for tractors and construction machinery. He stated that the company is listed on the stock exchange and is valued at around Rs 2,000 crore.

The episode saw the sharks pressing the entrepreneur for clarity and justification, as the valuation became the key point of contention despite the product receiving positive feedback.
