Shark Tank India Season 3 has returned with a bang, bringing with it not just innovative pitches but also intense judge dynamics. In a recent promo dropped by the show’s makers, sparks flew as judges Namita Thapar and Anupam Mittal engaged in a heated exchange over valuations and deals.
The promo, which aired on Wednesday, showcased a groundbreaking moment in Shark Tank India history: two back-to-back pitches followed by judge deliberations. As Rahul Dua, the show’s host, introduced two rental clothing businesses, tensions quickly escalated among the panel.
Vineeta Singh, CEO of Sugar Cosmetics, extended an offer to the entrepreneurs, only to face scrutiny from Anupam Mittal, Founder of Shaadi.com, for allegedly reducing the company’s valuation. The exchange left Vineeta visibly upset, prompting Namita Thapar, Executive Director at Emcure Pharmaceuticals Limited, to jump in with a taunt directed at Mittal.
The atmosphere grew more charged as Thapar’s remark highlighted underlying tensions among the judges. “Anupam will give you a good offer because he doesn’t want to upset you,” she quipped, drawing attention to the dynamics at play. Mittal’s response, “Sometimes sharks are unfair,” encapsulated the intensity of the moment.
Shark Tank India Season 3 boasts a mix of familiar faces and new additions to the judging panel. Returning sharks include Aman Gupta, Co-founder of Boat, Peyush Bansal, Co-Founder and CEO of Lenskart, alongside Thapar, Mittal, and Singh. Joining them are industry stalwarts such as Amit Jain of Car Dekho, Ritesh Agarwal of OYO, Azhar Iqubal of Inshorts, Radhika Gupta of Edelweiss Capital, and recently, film producer Ronnie Screwvala.
With such a diverse and dynamic lineup, Shark Tank India Season 3 promises not just groundbreaking business opportunities but also riveting drama. As entrepreneurs vie for investment, the clash of egos and strategies among the judges adds an extra layer of intrigue to the show.
As viewers eagerly await the episodes to unfold, one thing is certain: Shark Tank India Season 3 is poised to be an exhilarating rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship, negotiation, and unfiltered drama. Stay tuned as the sharks circle, ready to strike deals and make waves in the business world.
