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.

"When the pandemic broke out, I realised that being on foot restricts your world to just 4-5 Km maximum. This mobility issue inspired me to design the kit," he added, whose indigenous innovation can convert any bicycle into an #EV.
The kit, known as #DVECK, enhances the features of a bicycle or rickshaw by giving it a speed of 25 kph, a weight capacity of 170 kilograms, and a range of 40 kilometres per charge.

"One of the sharks asked me why I looked so happy. People with disabilities are portrayed as sad and depressed. My episode bust these stereotypes. ⁠
@AtypicalAdv

#Entrepreneurs #StartupIndia #InclusiveIndia #SharkTank
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

Shark Tank made Mark Cuban one of the US's darling billionaires. So, it may come as a jolt to many of you that he has not made any profit from investments made on the popular show. Cuban has invested over $20mn in various companies showcased in the "Tank."
newsbytesapp.com/news/business/… Image
#SharkTank showed us venture capitalism can be entertaining. Well, if Cuban's words are anything to go by, entertainment and investment are not the best combinations. His words are a testament to what many people always believed: the Tank is more theater than business. Image
Cuban's shocking revelation came during last week's Full Send Podcast. "Are you up all time on 'Shark Tank' investments?" the host asked Cuban. To this, the billionaire replied, "Like, up financially?" Image

Well hello there, Oh, My name? I’m Jaws…Indiana Jaws. My parents wanted to call me Henry. Do I look like a Henry to you? Anywho, I’m just your average…Ok, I can’t even say it with a straight face. I mean, c’mon. I am anything but average. Just look at me! Image
Those tiger stripes, alone make me a standout handsome shark. Rumor has it that my real father was a redheaded Merman.

These days, I spend my time exploring sunken ruins, seeking out the lost treasures from bygone civilizations...oh, and great coffee shops.
I can't say say enough about the importance of a GREAT bean and grind, which is why I only drink Shark Bytes Coffee. It'll put the boogie back in your tail! When I'm home, back in the #Sharktank with my beloved Margaret, We discuss the importance of me listening, when she speaks.

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
#SharkTankIndia #startupindia #SharkTank ( 1/n )

@namitathapar @amangupta0303 @Ashneer_Grover @peyushbansal @vineetasng
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
(2/n)
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

A #Thread 🧵

@dmuthuk @SahilBloom @FundamentalGems @FinKrypt @stockskibaat @stocks_in @nifty_baba @FinancialAdda @trdessai @join2manish
Think for a moment, how billion-dollar edtech startup shelled out $300 Mn to acquire a smaller company within 18 months of its launch.(@whitehatjunior)

Urban Ladder, which been since 2012 & built coveted private label, took a 75% cut in paper valuations.

#StockMarket #nifty50
The company (@UrbanLadder) focussed on a private business model, which was not bad idea & it also got them a good brand recall.

But the furniture retail space is tough market & everything depends on strategy” says a VC requesting anonymity.

HHS Paul Mango: Dealing in a world of uncertainty with #COVID19 #vaccines.
Don't know timing, quantity.
Different storage; some 1 dose, some 2 dose; Different days apart.
This is really a quite extraordinary logistically uncertainty
We are prepared for all of those uncertainties.

Just to give an example of my #Dyslexia:

I'm NOT giong to edit it.

Here are tough words: rememnber, memeber, strenght, Natahan (the name) straighth, etc.

This is how I just typed them, my brain doesn't feel the reversal.

For everything I type, I often go back and correct it.
Here are other words I struggle with having #Dyslexia.

Again, I will not edit how I type them. Similar or repeated letter combos give me trouble.

absulotuely
firend
rememeberance
dissatsissfied
constittution
apppropriate
reperesentatitve
independente
signisificant
It is really weird when I type.

My brain literally stops as if there is a short circuit of sorts when I'm typing a difficult word.

I completely forget where I am in the word & I have to sound things out.

And yes, I went back and corrected a few words in this tweet. #Dyslexia

Just finished up both #sharktank-themed @geekwire Numbers Geek podcasts. They were pretty amazing – particularly as I listened to the customer-focus/KPIs talk of the companies. It just hit home - and not always in a warm-and-fuzzy way. @ABCSharkTank
@geekwire @ABCSharkTank First, @JamieSiminoff: “I think when you focus on your customer … and I mean crazy focus on your customer, success comes from delivering benefit to your customer.” geekwire.com/2019/shark-tan… Image
@geekwire @ABCSharkTank @JamieSiminoff But, also, @arumkang: “For every business, there are important key performance indicators that of course every leader has to track. … For us, it’s really how many authentic connections are we creating for our customers.” geekwire.com/2019/numbers-g… Image
