The pitchers were looking to raise ₹50 lakhs for 3% part of their startup. The aim is to be the number 1 gummy brand in the country.
But there were a lot of other players in this segment. That’s why Namita was not ready to offer. Still, the entrepreneurs think they can beat all of them because of their better pricing at an affordable range.
There was also a lot of marketing spend that is cutting all their profits. Peyush went out because of this.
However, Anupam, Aman, and Vineeta were ready to invest more money but based on their last valuation.
Watch a teaser for this episode:
What’s Up Wellness got a deal from Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, and Vineeta Singh for ₹60 Lakhs for 4.76% equity.
