Here are the key details about their pitch on Shark Tank India:
| Business Name | Modern Myth |
| Founders | Oshina Hans and Saurabh Tokas |

Modern Myth is a Delhi-based startup that sells lifestyle bags for women and men. They sell Handbags, Slings, Clutches, Totes, Laptop Bags and Pouches. All are made from Vegan leather and are animal cruelty-free.
Their USP is that their designs are unique, stylish and modern. That is why they have sold ₹2.5 crores worth of bags before the pitch.
These bags are available on their website and many other online marketplaces. Here is their Modern Tropical Bag on Amazon India (*Affiliate Link):

They asked for ₹75 Lakhs against 5% Equity. They will use the money for marketing as well as launching new products in untapped markets.
But maybe it was not the lucky day for the entrepreneurs as Ashneer said that he can easily get the same bags in Delhi’s famous markets like Rajouri Garden, Sarojini Nagar or Janpath. He was also worried about their relationship risk.
Entrepreneurs explained that they wanted to go into the Fast-fashion market but Peyush warned them that it is too competitive. He was out because he thought that there is still a lot of work required.
Anupam seemed a bit interested but he thinks that it is too early to be investable as their marketing strategy is not clear. Vineeta advised them that they need to focus more on quality rather than designs.
In the end, they left the tank without a deal from the sharks.

After Shark Tank Updates
One good thing they did for the viewers is that they were giving a 10% discount on their products after the episode aired on television with coupon code ‘SHARKTANK’.
Also, they posted on their website that their bags are ‘Not from Sarojini’. This shows that they took the criticism happily as also seen from their Instagram post where they shared memes about their pitch:
We also learned that they want to expand to home furnishing and lifestyle products in the coming years.
By the way, other businesses pitched in this episode were Namhya Foods, Urban Monkey and Guardian Gears.
At last, here is their official company pitch: “Modern Myth is an international brand for handcrafted vegan bags for both men and women known for its edgy, yet functional designs.”
