The latest episode of Shark Tank India 4 saw three exciting business pitches, but one that grabbed viewers’ attention was Artbuzz—a company focused on transforming properties and providing unique accommodations to customers. Founders Shashank and Anubha took the stage, seeking ₹1 crore for a 30% equity stake in their venture.
As the founders explained their vision, they highlighted their efforts in opening new properties in Dehradun and other parts of India. Their goal is to create aesthetically appealing spaces that cater to travelers while ensuring a profitable and scalable business model. They emphasized that their company is still in the growth phase and is actively working toward achieving financial stability and expansion.
While the pitch intrigued the investors, some of the sharks raised concerns. Ritesh Agarwal pointed out the similarities between the company and his own business, questioning its uniqueness and long-term sustainability. Meanwhile, Azhar Iqubal,
Aman Gupta, and Vinita Singh inquired about the financial performance, pricing strategy, and customer acquisition model to gauge the company’s profitability.
The founders admitted that while their revenue was gradually increasing, they were yet to reach the desired level of profitability. Vineeta Singh, unimpressed by their approach, remarked, “If you don’t stand for something, you fall for everything,” suggesting that the business lacked a distinct identity and focus.
As the discussion continued, Kunal Bahl attempted to share his insights on the business model, discussing key aspects of pricing and market positioning. However, before he could finish, Aman Gupta abruptly interrupted him, reinforcing Kunal’s earlier point that the business was not price-sensitive.
Kunal, visibly frustrated by the interruption, firmly expressed his displeasure, stating, “Let me finish first.” His sharp response created a moment of tension on the show, highlighting the passionate debates that often take place in the Shark Tank.
Despite the engaging discussion and feedback from the sharks, Artbuzz failed to secure an investment. The sharks remained unconvinced about the business’s long-term viability, and no deal was finalized.
While the episode featured high-stakes negotiations and intense moments, it also shed light on the importance of clear business strategies, financial viability, and the ability to stand out in a competitive market. The interaction between Kunal Bahl and Aman Gupta added an extra layer of drama, making it one of the most talked-about moments of the episode.
