The much-awaited Shark Tank India season 2 began yesterday. The show, which made its debut a year ago, was a hit among the audience and fans have been eagerly waiting for the next edition. Now the show is already making headlines for a different reason.
As five sharks including Anupam Mittal, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, Namita Thapar, and Aman Gupta returned to the new season, they heard quite a few interesting pitches and decided to invest in some of them. However, things soon turned for worse when they heard a pitch made by a makeup brand.
When the makeup brand Recode pitched their proposal and revealed some of their interesting business strategies on the Shark Tank India season 2, all the sharks were very impressed with them. The sharks were stunned to see how two small-town entrepreneurs created a homegrown cosmetic brand that made some big strides in the business.
In spite of this, all of them, except Peyush Bansal, still rejected the pitch just because it was from the same industry as Vineeta Singh. The Sugar co-founder was also left surprised when she was told Sugar follows Recode on Instagram.
The Shark Tank India season 2 judges rejected cosmetic brand Recode’s pitch mainly because it was a competitor brand for Vineeta Singh’s makeup brand, Sugar. Many viewers took to Twitter to call out the show over the practice.
A Twitter user wrote, “Disappointed with Shark Tank India this season, poor people who have the same line of business as any of the judges, will not get investment just because shark doesn’t want to lose their friend. What kind of logic is that?” Another user wrote, “Shark Tank India. Watched the pitch for RECODE brand .. #sharks people have respect for you for what you guys have done .. but what I have seen today is the way #sugarcosmetics friendship club worked it doesn’t give a thumbs up to the concept of raising funds.”
