Shark Tank India 2 Judges Remain Unimpressed, Anupam Mittal Says “Main paap manta hu”, Aman Gupta Says “Ameero ke chochle”
In the most recent episodes of Shark Tank India 2, judges remained unimpressed with most pitchers, with Anupam Mittal saying, “main paap manta hu” to one of the pitchers misleading the customers, while Aman Gupta saying another pitcher’s idea “ameero ke chochle”. While Shark Tank India’s second season has had episodes of some rare all-shark deals, some recent episodes have shown how entrepreneurs have to leave the stage empty handed.
In one of the pitches, entrepreneur Rajas Dhote, sought Rs 91 lakhs for 1.5% equity for his premium Italian gourmet cheese made from 100% milk. He shared his offerings including cream cheese, burrata, jalapeno sour cream etc. However, Aman Gupta remained unimpressed, saying the cheese buying consumption remains “ameero ke chochle”, while Anupam Mittal stayed unconvinced with the marketing. In the end, none of the sharks opted to strike a deal.
In another pitch, Karan Jindal and Taniya Dhirasaria sought Rs 75 lakhs for 5% equity for their health and wellness brand. The duo explained the fall in their revenue and shedding their team. Meanwhile, Anupam Mittal remained the most critical, and said, “Jo aap kar rahe ho main usko paap maanta hun.” Other sharks also opted out of the deal.
The Facts of the Matter
Popular reality show Shark Tank India 2 allows entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors, also known as “sharks.” These sharks are successful businesspeople who are looking to invest in promising startups. However, not every entrepreneur who appears on the show is successful in securing an investment. In fact, many business owners leave empty-handed after failing to impress the judges with their pitch.
Recently, several pitchers met the above-mentioned fate as they failed to woo the judges, and were left empty handed when the dust settled.

Gourmet Cheese Entrepreneur Fails to Impress Judges
In the latest episode of Shark Tank India 2, Rajas Dhote tried to tantalise the sharks with his scrumptious offering of premium Italian gourmet cheese, crafted with 100% fresh milk. From creamy burrata to zesty jalapeno sour cream, the foodie and entrepreneur boasted an impressive range cheese offerings.
“Ameero ke chochle”
To secure the ask of INR 91 lakh for 1.5% equity, Rajas had to impress the Sharks with his business model and pricing strategy. However, Aman Gupta shared his skepticism, opining that cheese consumption was limited to the affluent, saying, “Yeh sab ameero ke chochle hai.”

Anupam Mittal argued that Rajas’ product was aspirational, with tremendous growth potential as India continues to progress.
Sharks Back Off From Investment
However, when the Sharks delved deeper into Rajas’ market research and scaling plans, concerns emerged about the financial strategy of his business. Rajas admitted that his co-founder handles finance, leading to Aman Gupta’s withdrawal due to a lack of confidence in the financial acumen of the business. Similarly, Amit Jain questioned Rajas’ aptitude for running a successful enterprise, while Namita Thapar chose to abstain from investing.
Wellness Brand’s Concerning Journey Raises Brows
In a separate pitch of Shark Tank India 2, Karan Jindal and Taniya Dhirasaria presented their innovative holistic health and wellness brand. With a plethora of personalised health plans and access to expert advice, the duo explained their customer base and track record of success, to secure their ask of Rs 75 lakhs for 5% equity.
However, things took a surprising turn when the founders revealed that their revenue had plummeted from a staggering Rs 10 crore to a meager Rs 3 crore due to the challenges of balancing their business with the demands of parenthood. Forced to downsize their team from 40 to just a handful, the pair had clearly been through the wringer.

“Paap maanta hu”
In the end it was Anupam Mittal pulled no punches, delivering a scathing critique of the brand’s efficacy, stating, “You know jo aap kar rahe ho main usko paap maanta hun. You are giving a diet plan for detox but you are putting sugar and carbohydrates in my body which increase hunger. It is not business but cheating in my view.”
