Shark Tank India 4: Founders of Str8bat bring yet another smart bat in the tank; Will Aman Gupta seal the deal this time?

Cricket has witnessed countless iconic moments, and Shark Tank India 4 became the stage for one more—Str8bat’s revolutionary deep-tech innovation! Founded by Madhusudan R, Gagan Daga, and Rahul Nagar, Str8bat is transforming how cricketers train with its smart bat sensor. This lightweight, pocket-sized device attaches to the bat, instantly analyzing bat speed, ball impact, hand motion, and overall performance. As they say, ‘You can't improve what you can't measure!’
With 91% of users improving their batting, Str8bat bridges the gap between traditional training and data-driven insights. The founders stepped into the tank with a bold pitch, 1.5 crores for 1% equity, highlighting how international cricketers and local players alike are already using their product.
To test the magic, the Sharks took a swing! Experiencing the real-time insights firsthand, they were blown away by the tech. Aman Gupta, a cricket buff himself, vibed with the founders’ journey—sports lovers turned corporate professionals, now back to revolutionizing the game. More than just a gadget, Str8bat is a game-changer for cricketers at every level!
Reflecting on their experience, Co-Founder Gagan Daga shared, “Being on Shark Tank India 4 was an electrifying experience. It’s a dream for any entrepreneur to present their vision to the Sharks, and we were thrilled to see them experience Str8bat for themselves. The conversations, their energy, and their passion for sports and technology made this an unforgettable moment.”
