Diabexy is a nutritional specialized food brand for diabetic people. They claim that their products have a low glycemic load and low carbohydrates. Diabexy also offers services in the same area of expertise.

The founder couple asked for a huge ₹150 crore valuation with ₹1.5 crore for just 1% equity. They want to expand their Diabexy marketing and reach more households.

Here is a still from the pitch:

They have more than 3.5 lakh customers in just 2 years after being established in 2020. In FY 2021-22, the sales were around ₹13 crores. One more good number is that it has 70% repeat orders on its website.

While the number was good and sharks loved the taste, they had some issues. One was the high cost, which is not affordable and the other was the valuation. Anupam was out because he thinks that business is all about the founder than the product.

The rest 4 offered a deal for a total of 20% stake, but it was way higher than the ask. So, it was rejected. However, Peyush funnily said that the pitch was more for marketing on national television.


In the end, the entrepreneurs left the tank without any deal.
