Shark Tank India 2: Namita Thapar loses her calm on Anupam Mittal, says 'keep your ego in check'

The sharks will spar over a single pitch in a forthcoming Shark Tank India episode. Vineeta Singh, Anupam Mittal, Peyush Bansal, Aman Gupta, and Namita Thapar get into a heated dispute because they are all trying to undermine the home furnishings company Nestroots.

A promo shared by Sony Entertainment Television's YouTube page highlights how there was conflict over whether to support the same brand. On the show, a woman spoke on behalf of her company Nestroots and said: "Nestroots is a brand which is Indian in origin. We give kitchen, dining, decor, furnishing solutions. We are proud to say that Nestroots is already in more than 1 lakh Indian homes.”

While Peyush questioned whether the brand was yet profitable, Vineeta described it as very cool. All the sharks were impressed when the businesswoman claimed that her net profitability is between 16 and 19%. Vineeta and Anupam were the first to make her an offer: 65 lakh for 4% equity. Vineeta's refusal to collaborate with Aman in any way infuriated him. He said, "Kabhi toh kisi aur ko leliya karo yaar" (Ask someone else sometime). Then Anupam told Aman, "Tum value nahi add karte ho yaar sirf herogiri karte ho" (You merely act intelligence, add no value). Aman responds, “Hero will stay a hero and villain will stay a villain.”

Aman makes a 65 lakh offer for 5% and gives Vineeta the option of joining him. When Peyush makes an offer of 65 lakh for merely 1%, the game shifts. The as soon as Namita begins to speak and state that she disagrees, Anupam tells her, "It doesn't matter what you think, yaar." Namita snaps out at him and says, “Not okay, you need to keep your ego in check.” She gets up from her chair as well.

Shark Tank India 2 started premiering on Sony Entertainment. In December of the previous year, it debuted its first season. Along with Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, Aman Gupta, and Anupam Mittal, the panel also includes Amit Jain of CarDekho as a new shark.
