In the recent developments on Shark Tank India Season 3, Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt and one of the show’s judges, became the talk of the internet. This incident took place during an episode featuring entrepreneur Priyasha Saluja. Gupta found himself in cute edits circulating on the internet regarding his interaction with Priyasha, and he even responded to one of them.
As Priyasha presented her business, The Cinnamon Kitchen, a bakery specializing in plant-based and gluten-free treats, she managed to impress the panel with the health benefits of her products and impressive sales figures. Her excellent credit score also made a lasting impression on the judges, including Aman Gupta, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Anupam Mittal, and Deepinder Goyal.
The delightful moment occurred when Gupta was presenting his investment offer. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Priyasha requested him to tone down the intensity of his pitch, as it was her first time seeking funds, and she wanted to avoid feeling ‘intimidated.’ Gupta’s response to this request was unexpected; he blushed, eliciting laughter from both Priyasha and the other judges. This charming interaction swiftly won the hearts of viewers and became a viral video online.
Social media users and fans of the show expressed their amusement, with some good-naturedly teasing Gupta about the incident. Gupta himself joined in the fun, responding to a social media post with humor and suggesting that the video editor should consider applying for a job at boAt.
“You guys are crazy. My wife will kill me. But for sure the edit has come out nice. Tell the editor to apply for a position in boAt now,” he wrote.
In the end, Gupta extended an offer of Rs. 60 lakh for a 5% equity stake in The Cinnamon Kitchen, and the deal was finalized.
