Usually, on Shark Tank India, the judges are often seen being very critical of the pitchers. While in the previous season it sparked off controversies, Pratham Mittal aspires to stand out. Talking about the same, he said, “I’m a very soft person. It’s very difficult for me to say anything that’ll hurt somebody. I think I’ll be fine…I might be boring, but that’s a separate issue.”

Talking about his friendship with Aman Gupta, Pratham shared, “Aman is a very close friend, and he helped me feel very comfortable while shooting. He also happens to be my neighbour. Peyush Bansal has been to Masters’ Union, so I’ve known him. I’ve also been in touch with Ritesh Agarwal in the past. Maybe because they’re all from Delhi, like I am, it helped us get along well. People have been incredibly nice. We don’t know what kind of companies we see on a given day; it’s as much a surprise for us as the audience.

Further talking about his decision to be on Shark Tank India, Pratham Mittal said, “Gen Z and Alpha aren’t very patient, and climbing the corporate ladder slowly feels like a risk to them. For the young ones in my family, jobs are a backup because they aren’t as secure as they once were. To keep up with that, Masters’ Union and Tetr are based more on building businesses than mugging curriculum. It’s like if an incubator and a college had a baby. One motivation for me for coming on Shark Tank is also so I can talk more about this.”

Shark Tank India 5 will air on Sony TV and stream on Sony Liv from January 5.
