As Shark Tank India enters its finale week, investor Peyush Bansal, who appears on the reality show as one of the ‘sharks’, recreated the pitch that he gave for his company back in 2010. Presumably, the other ‘sharks’ will also take turns in pitching their companies to each other.
He said, “Main hoon Peyush Bansal. Main hoon co-founder and CEO Lenskart ka. Meri aapse ask hai Rs 1 crore, 1 % of the equity in my company (I am Peyush Bansal. I am the co-founder and CEO of Lenskart. I have come to ask for Rs 1 crore, for 1% equity in my company).”
A new promo video shared by Sony Entertainment Television on Twitter showed Peyush, the co-founder of Lenskart, standing in front of his co-panellists and asking for Rs 1 crore as investment, in exchange for 1% equity.
The tables will turn! Shark Peyush Bansal, founder and CEO of Lenskart, will pitch his business to the Sharks. To find out what happens, don’t forget to witness this unique pitch on #SharkTankIndia, in the Finale Week, Mon-Fri at 9 PM, only on Sony TV! pic.twitter.com/gIuzKafrGQ

“Shark” Namita Thapar went ‘Woah’ at Peyush’s pitch, while “Shark” Vineeta sarcastically asked for 75% equity in his company. Aman Gupta told him that five years ago, he too was standing in front of investors, asking for money.
In a recent appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, the host recounted the estimated net worths of the seven ‘sharks’ on Shark Tank India. He said that Peyush is worth Rs 37,500 crore.
Shark Tank India is based on the original American show, which has been running for 13 seasons since 2009. It features a panel of ‘sharks’ who field pitches from entrepreneurs, based on which they decide whether or not to invest in their companies.
