Anupam Mittal reveals 5 of his Shark Tank India investments are earning more than Rs 50 cr each: ‘People made fun of us’

Anupam said that the naysayers retracted as the show became highly successful and it was evident that people’s fortunes were changing after being a part of Shark Tank India. “Earlier, I thought that people who are not funded by VC companies like family entrepreneurs, mom and pop shops, only they will come, and they are still more in number, but now, suddenly, everyone has understood that Shark Tank can change the game. So you see all these top guys lining up to come in and everybody now wants to be a shark,” he said.

Anupam said that he did not have much hope from the show when it started and saw it as “desh sewa”, and not as an opportunity to make money. “Previously, I thought that I won’t make any money on Shark Tank because the best companies won’t come here but I told myself that let’s think of it as ‘desh sewa’ so as long as I break-even, maybe it is worth my time. Now, I have five Shark Tank companies in my portfolio that are doing more than Rs 50 crore annual revenue run rate. I never expected that,” he shared.

Shark Tank India Season 4 is currently streaming on SonyLIV.
