Breaking: Shark Tank India is Cancelled after 2 Seasons?

So... everyone seems to think Shark Tank India is the "next big thing" on TV - but I think it's not coming back for the next season.

And here's how I think this whole thing will go down…

Thread. 🧵 Shark Tank cancelled
Disclaimer - I don't *want* Shark Tank India to fail. The world is more fun if it wins...

But wanting something doesn't mean it's going to happen. If it did, then every bag of chips would have more chips and less air.
OK, let's pretend you are the CEO of Sony India.

Congrats. You did it!

People like your channel. No, no - they LOVE your channel.

But there is a problem. You are not in the top 10 GE channels in India.

Despite having shows like KBC, Kapil Sharma, Indian Idol…

Shit.

You might develop new stereotypes after watching that episode that people with disabilities are strong, opinionated, full of confidence, and with hard work, they can triumph over all adversities. ⁠
This story is about celebrating inclusion in a very true sense, says #VineetSaraiwala, who runs #AtypicalAdvantage -- which claims to be India’s largest #inclusive #employment platform for people with disabilities across India.⁠

Mar 2019, #BYJUS showcased investors that in FY21, Revenue shall be 5609 Cr and profit be 549 Cr and justified its Val at 16364 Cr

Done Revenue of only 2800 Cr and loss of 4500 Cr in FY21 but now at Valuation of 1,75,606 Cr

Startup Valuation is biggest MLM scam of this century! BYJUs Projection shown in 2019
Every #MLM needs an innovative Product.

So here comes an "An Idea + flamboyant Founders who can Pitch + a legal entity" packaged as a Product wherein an existing investor is expected to recruit new investors at higher valuation.

#BYJUS #startups #sharktankindia
The Investors are more to be blamed for this #MLM

New Age Investors are happy when their money is burnt with no resulting revenue growth because if there is enough revenue; to fund the expense means no need of follow-round

Loss is needed to validate next #Valuation

A new "bad boy" in the Industry : BharatPe's #ashneergrover 🤠

A popular face of social media after his appearance as a panelist in #SharkTankIndia, Grover is in d limelight, but this time “it’s -ve publicity”!

Read d complete thread to know "What's the buzz all about?"

(1/17)
It all started on 5th Jan, when a call recording leaked into the public resulting in exposing an ugly side of the Shark.📞

Grover was found bashing an employee of Kotak Mahindra Bank for failing to gain a share of allocation for Nykaa’s IPO.

(2/17)
Grover claimed that the audio clip was “fake” but soon after this, Kotak issued a statement stating that the bank is pursuing “appropriate legal action” against BharatPe’s MD, Ashneer Grover, for the “inappropriate language” used in the call.

So we had featured in #sharktankindia too but our episode has not been telecast due to reasons best known to the Channel & Sharks however I am putting down a thread for the benefit of all my entrepreneurial brethren and the public in general on Shark Tank India.
The show comprises of a 3 minute pitch followed by a Q&A with the sharks. Your pitch is designed by the Channel creatives and mostly you need to stick to it and speak Hindi, at times your USP can get diluted but that's how the scheme of things is.
The Channel will try to make your pitch as simple as possible and in chaste Hindi for the viewers to Understand. Multiple rehearsals will be done for 2 days till late nights till the Channel is sure you are good to go and some guys are given more practice and attention from the

Shark Tank is the kind of show we should appreciate. No doubt it gave us lots of memes but for some people it familiarized them with terms like Equity, Market Value, Valuation, Assets, Liability, Revenue, Margin, Royalty, Patent, Trademark, Copyright.

Check out this thread 👇🏼👇🏼
Equity: If I’m looking for $250,000 for a 25% stake in my business. The 25% stake is the equity that the shark would get if they agreed to that deal. Equity represents ownership of the company.
Market Value: The highest amount that someone is willing to pay for a product (as well as the lowest amount that a seller is willing to sell at).

Valuation: The valuation of the company tells you how much the company as a whole is worth.

As a budding entrepreneur, I really enjoyed business insights from #SharkTankIndia.

Here are 8 lessons from @sharktankindia that can help you come up with an exciting, scalable and defendable business plan that can help you win over the sharks, with examples. Thread 🧵👇
1. Understand the market size, intricacies and gaps:

Go granular. Understand the market at a deeper level and understand the gaps that need to be filled.

Eg: AAS Vidyalaya got the biggest funding (1.5 cr) despite being in a crowded EdTech space by finding a market gap.
2. Being very sure about the market you are NOT in:

Almost equally important is to know what market or customer you are NOT going to serve. This enables a potential investor to better narrow down your target market and understand how your product fits with it.

Well,

CA Se Door Raho -

CA Ko Nikal Do -

But this is how me as a CA as well as other CA/CS around me have added value to #Startups and #Angel #Investment

Angel Investors commit to invest in Startups without having any knowledge that there is a deemed "Angel tax" on premium paid on equity u/s 56(2)(viib)

I have saved 200 Cr+ on tax on such hasty decisions taken by #Investors by applying for #Angeltax exemption #startupindia

The Deal by #Sharks is followed by Term Sheet and Share Holders Agreement

As a CA/CS our role is to educate the #Startup #Founder about the clauses like Buy Back, Drag along , Anti-Dilution and Liquidation preference

IN DEFENCE OF #SharkTankIndia : A THREAD

I have seen a lot of hate towards the new startup show on Twitter and while that's not unreasonable, I do think that's highly exaggerated! Here's a short thread containing my views on why @sharktankindia is doing a great work: ⬇️
Lets first see why people are hating it?

It had drama..
It was scripted..

Those startups are real startups to start with and even if there is drama (which there is tbh), what's the harm?

Would you guys want to watch 1 hr of Startups pitching metrics to a VC daily? I won't...
And to start with, it's not about us.

People who are interested in the startup ecosystem already have access to "educational & serious" content via Youtube etc

It's about educating the mainstream and that's only possible if people watch it to start with
