Entrepreneur Sells Dream of Weight Loss without Exercising
Recently, an entrepreneur on Shark Tank India sold the age-old daydream of many people – losing weight without exercising. The entrepreneur in question, Shikha Aggarwal, gave an account of her past, where she was fat, and explained how she lost weight without exercising.
However, this did not go well with Namita Thapar, who called her idea “fake” and “gimmicky”.
“When I was fat, I had low energy and confidence. With diet, you can have soups and salads, and I am a mother, you also have a busy schedule. So it wasn’t possible. I was studying diet and nutrition along with which I started following this unique concept and the result is here. I lost weight without exercise,” Shikha said, during her pitch.
Completing her pitch, she asked for Rs 20 lakhs for 1% of equity in her business.

Namita Thapar Slams Entrepreneur
While her energy and style was appreciated by Aman Gupta, who called her “dhamakedar”, Namita Thapar remained unimpressed and critical.
Yeh jo aapne word use kiya hai na ‘restart’, isi mein problem hai. Ye jo aap bata rahi hai na usse mein fundamentally agree nahi kar rahi hoon, ki no exercise… humare saath aate hain, restart karte hain…,” she said.
“Let’s spread the message ki weight loss ek lifestyle change se hota hai… aur hum diabetes capital, blood pressure capital ban rahe hain because log ye sab gimmicky cheezein kar rahe hain aur apne health ke saath mess kar rahe hain,” she added.
Why Namita Thapar Remained Critical of Idea?
“My fundamental issue is the word ‘restart that you have used. I don’t agree that there should be no exercise, we can restart, and lose weight without exercising. Weigh loss happens with lifestyle changes, and if our nation is becoming a blood pressure and diabetes capital, it is also because we engage in such gimmicks and play with our health,” Thapar’s roughly translated opinion read.

Anupam Mittal Called Idea ‘Poisonous’
Anupam Mittal, who is rather softer with his feedback, called Shikha’s idea ‘poisonous’. “Aapka yeh plan can be poisonous to a diabetic patient. If it worked for you, it may not work for others. You must reconsider this business and add the correct information,” Mittal said.
Eventually, Shikha walked out of the tank deal-less.
