Unstop rejects the highest ever ₹5 Cr Shark Tank

India is the land of enterprising businessmen who have made a name for themselves on a
global scale. Gone are the days when running and owning a business was restricted to just the
rich. With Shark Tank’s Season 2, Ab pura India samjhega business ki sahi value!

Millions of viewers tune in to each episode of Shark Tank India. Some are still harping on about
Ashneer Grover and his rough-round-the-edges remark. While others are truly enthralled by the
sheer ingenuity of some of the startups.

With every mid-sentence cut to break, the audience is at the edge of their seats. Will this pitch
get an offer? Or this offer was a pass for them? The Sharks too, are playing to the ebb and flow
of the show and using their wit and knowledge to share the most useful insights.
One Delhi-based startup, Unstop, saw hungry sharks circling around it with ample poking,
prodding, and name-calling!

Unstop and Shark Tank: Founded by Ankit Aggrawal, Unstop is an early talent engagement
and hiring platform that helps talented individuals from untapped corners of the country find their
place in the job market. Through its platform, Unstop connects these individuals with the right
employers and helps them build the skills and experience they need to succeed. On the other
hand, employers leverage Unstop to Brand, Source, Engage, Assess, and Hire right candidates.
Today, the startup has a community of 4.5 million students, freshers, and professionals with 0-5
years of experience.

As soon as Ankit Aggarwal hit the stage, the Sharks were captivated by his pitch. At one point,
they had to jolt out of the trance and one of the Sharks said, “Please stop Unstop!” Some say
that the secret to a Sharks’ favor is having your numbers, comms, and charisma on point, and
Ankit delivered on all three!

He received an offer of ₹5 crores for 10% equity from Amit Jain. The Unstoppable Ankit was
quick to decline the offer saying that it wouldn’t be fair to dilute that much equity and wanted to
respect and increase the valuation at which his team was given shares, not VCs. Then we were
all made aware of Ankit Aggarwal’s poise, so much so that Namita Thapar ended up calling him
Ankit Makhanwal! After a little back and forth, and some negotiations, Aman Gupta, Anupam
Mittal, Namita Thapar, and Amit Jain finally agreed on investing ₹2 crores for 4% equity.
The bank may not be as full now but a deal that made sense for all stakeholders was finally
made. As a founder, it is important that you have one eye on the bank and also a tap on the
pulse of your team. Money in a business does take you a long way, but a happy team takes you
much further.

Shark Tank India in its second season is ticking all the boxes and hitting all the right notes. The
pitches made are nothing short of spectacular. Let’s wait and watch what the entrepreneurs of
India have in store for us.
