Season 1 of Shark Tank in India fired up the same streak for all Indian startups and has changed the Indian outlook towards entrepreneurship.  I am confident that Season 2 will surely be a bigger, better and more versatile platform for the Indian entrepreneurial dreams.  I am very excited to share my experience of decades with budding entrepreneurs on the show and mentor them to build a new India. We will surely write some defining stories during the course of this journey. I compliment the channel and entire Shark tank team for being the launchpad to the wonder world of building businesses. .”

Experimenting, scaling the company with limited resources, profitability, starting from a non-metro city, digitizing a business which is otherwise traditional are a few of many skills that Amit mastered himself on his journey of entrepreneurship.
