Kunal Bahl revealed to his colleagues that he had come very close to investing in Prateek and Aishwarya’s business a few months ago, but had held back because he wanted him to grow a little more. He praised Prateek as an excellent founder, but said that he still isn’t entirely convinced by his approach. He said, “Smart people sometimes get stuck in bad businesses. You need a hard reset.” Kunal felt that the founders were caged by the Greenday business, and should focus on building Better Nutrition.

Peyush Bansal was also unconvinced by the founders, and said that because of this discomfort, he couldn’t back them. Anupam Mittal first made a joke about their stint in the village, and told Prateek, “Be honest, you were just on an extended honeymoon.” But on a more serious note, Anupam said that there was no way that he could formulate an offer for them, because their valuation was simply too high and he wouldn’t want to rock the boat and upset past investors. Vineeta Singh, however, showed interest and made them a similar offer to that of Namita, but didn’t include the royalties angle.

Prateek and Aishwarya asked Namita and Vineeta if they’d want to join hands, but Namita declined. In the end, they accepted Namita’s offer, despite the royalties, because she showed more conviction in the company. Peyush was shocked. “Everyone has a lucky day,” he said, and Namita replied, “I seem to be having a lot lately.”
