Shark Tank India Season 2 episode 9 premiered on Sony LIV and Sony Entertainment Television on January 12, 2023, at 10PM IST. Payel Seth is the show’s creative director, while it’s been produced by Studio NEXT, with Ravikesh Vatsa as its writer. The show is now hosted by renowned comedian Rahul Dua, and is joined by six sharks, namely, Anupam Mittal Founder-CEO of Shaadi.com – People Group; Aman Gupta, Co-Founder-CMO of boAt; Namita Thapar, Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals; Vineeta Singh, Co-Founder-CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics; Peyush Bansal, Founder-CEO of Lenskart.com and Amit Jain, Co-Founder-CEO of CarDekho Group and InsuranceDekho.com.
‘Paradyes’, an India semi-permanent hair colour brand, ‘Nestroots’, an affordable luxury home decor business and ‘Coezy Sleep’, presenting an apparel based sleep quality enhancer come out for the ninth episode of the season with their respective pitches. The order of pitches is the same and the first one itself drives a long-running explosive response from the sharks. With each one of them ready with a deal of their own, boisterous commotion was bound to follow.
Peyush and Anupam, however, don’t reach the end of the deal as they’d favoured and Aman and Vineeta’s collaboration swoops in for the win. However, the journey to get there was marred with heavy drama and endless counter offers that left some sharks in a bitter mood by the end of it. Fans who caught up with the latest episode fired up with their Twitter reactions after the broadcast. Many users on the platform have outrightly declared their decision of not wanting to come back more episodes of the show due to the intensely increasing theatricality synonymous with what is often witnessed on Bigg Boss.
The second pitch went by peacefully, but the third one again had the viewers speaking up about the remarkable similarities shared with another pitch as seen on Shark Tank US. Fans are calling the ‘Coezy Sleep’ pitch a “rip-off of a highly successful product in the US”, initially presented by ‘HugSleep’ on the American rendition of the business reality show.
While some audiences are still favouring Peyush as “the most sensible shark”, others are walking up to Anupam’s corner. A similar situation was provoked during the previous episode as well, and the viewers aren’t taking these “dirty fights” lightly. Conversely, a few people are also back to wondering how Ashneer Grover would’ve reacted to the first pitch. Netizens have also made another claim about how “Anupam mittal is the new Ashneer Grover” in the second instalment of the reality series.
