Shark Tank India 3: Anupam Mittal Accuses Vineeta Singh Of Copying His Pitch, Says 'Humari Deal Leke...'

TV show Shark Tank India features entrepreneurs pitching unique ideas and brands. In a recent teaser, the ‘sharks’ showed excitement over some pitches but also criticised a few for exaggerating. One entrepreneur claimed their beauty tool could replace botox, challenged by Vineeta Singh. There was also a heated exchange between Vineeta and founders of a teen innerwear brand. Another group offering phone repair faced tough questions from Anupam Mittal, but impressed him with their turnover, leading to offers. However, when Vineeta made a similar offer, Anupam accused her of copying him.

For the mobile repair brand, Anupam proposes a royalty of 100 rupees per mobile repair in exchange for 1 percent equity, while Vineeta suggests a 1.5 percent royalty on annual sales and 0.5 percent equity. Anupam then goes on to react, “Bhai, usne humari deal leke usko discount kar diya (Brother, she copied our deal and offered it at a discounted rate).” The reaction shocks all the sharks and the pitcher.

Shark Tank India returned with season three on January 22, 2024. Several familiar sharks from the previous seasons including Namita Thapar, Executive Director at Emcure Pharmaceuticals Limited, Aman Gupta, Co-founder of Boat, Peyush Bansal, Co-Founder and CEO of Lenskart, Anupam Mittal, Founder and Director of Shaadi.com and Vineeta Singh, CEO of Sugar Cosmetics, returned for Shark Tank India Season 3.
