Finding success as an entrepreneur depends on a lot of factors. And one big factor in the failure of a business is the lack of funds. That’s why finding the right investor is important. The contestants on the TV show Shark Tank India not only receive funding but advice and guidance from top entrepreneurs in the country.
Here are four success stories from the show.
Hammer Lifestyle
The athleisure electronics wearable brand was one of the favourites when it appeared on the show last season. Offering electronics like grooming accessories, headphones and smartwatches, the company was doing a revenue of Rs 70 lakh per month before coming to the show. After the show, the company increased its revenue to Rs 2 crore each month. The company also managed to increase website traffic by 5x after the show.
Get A Whey
Started by a mother-son duo looking to offer healthy yet tasty dessert treats, Get A Whey is also one of the stand-out success stories from the show. The company managed to raise Rs 1 crore from the sharks on the show. Recently, Sky Gate hospitality, the parent company of Biryani by Kilo, acquired a majority stake in Get A Whey in a deal worth $2 million (roughly Rs 16.3 crore), reported Economic Times.
