In a recent episode of Shark Tank India season three, Peyush Bansal stepped in to assist a distraught pitcher who became emotional following a disagreement with Anupam Mittal. Saumya Mishra from Bhopal pitched her “world-class laser treatment” business, highlighting their door-to-door services.
During the pitch, Saumya made a remark about her target customers, which disappointed Vineeta Singh, who urged her not to criticize her clientele. Aman Gupta questioned the uniqueness of Saumya’s business compared to Urban Clap, to which she requested not to compare the two companies.
The tension escalated when Saumya and Anupam Mittal clashed over market share percentages. Saumya’s response left Mittal disappointed, leading to a confrontation. Saumya apologized, but Mittal questioned her emotional response, accusing her of arrogance. Saumya defended herself, acknowledging her mistake.
Peyush Bansal intervened, offering support and advice to Saumya, emphasizing the importance of choosing words carefully. Vineeta also comforted Saumya.
Despite the emotional turmoil, Saumya ultimately secured a deal from Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta, marking a challenging but successful pitch.
