Shark Tank India 2: Entrepreneur Wants “No Money” Says “I Want Your 100 Hours…”

A pitcher with a unique request will appear on the next episode of Shark Tank India Season 2. When the creator of the Dhruv Vidyut Electric Conversion Kit comes before the show’s judges, Anupam Mittal, Aman Gupta, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, and Namita Thapar, he will ask them for their “100 hours for 0.5% equity.”

In a new ad for the show, Aman asks Dhruv Vidyut’s founder, “Are you ready?” He says with confidence, “I was born ready.” Peyush sees the company’s founder and asks him, “I sent you a message on LinkedIn. Do you remember?” He says back, “That’s one of the reasons I’m here. I’m sorry that I couldn’t get back to you, Anupam ji, and Aman bhai.” Aman was confused about why he was coming up to him, so he told him, “I didn’t leave a comment.”

But the founder of Dhruv Vidyut shows Aman a screenshot of his comment on his LinkedIn post, and Aman jumps up and says, “Oh, now I remember!” Then he talks about how his product can turn a regular bike into an electric bike. In the later part of the promo, he asks for 100 hours of the “sharks” in exchange for 0.5% equity. Vineeta asks, “And…?” and Aman tells her, “No money.” Everyone is shocked by this.

The Daryaganj restaurant owners from Delhi are featured in the commercial as well, trying to sell their establishment to the reality show’s panel of experts. Aman reveals to them that he has frequented their eatery and has often considered investing in it. Now, though, he adds, “Laddna padega (I have to battle for it now)”. Aman claims he can only pay them Rs 50 lakhs, but Anupam offers them Rs 90 lakhs. They also have an offer from Vineeta.

Whom the pitchers ultimately choose to back their venture is a big question at this point. Sony TV and SonyLIV both broadcast episodes of Shark Tank from India.
