Turms Shark Tank Pitch and Updates
Surender Singh Rajpurohit appeared on Shark Tank India to raise funds for his startup Turms. Peyush Bansal was waiting to meet the founder because he was an investor in Turms when it was owned by its old founder. Peyush was not getting any response from the old team.
Surender Singh Rajpurohit started his pitch by addressing the fact that he is now the new founder of Turms. He bought only the brand and not the business so Peyush should connect with the old founders to get an update on his funding.
After that, Surender Singh demonstrated his products, and the sharks were impressed by the quality and technology.
After the initial pitch, Turms’ founder demanded INR 1.2 Crores for 2% equity at a valuation of INR 60 crores.
Below are some major interactions that he had with the Sharks:
- Azhar Iqubal asked about his acquisition process and how much valuation he acquired for the business.
- Peyush Bansal asked the reasons for the old founders to ghost his messages and Surender Singh shared the complete story.
- Vineeta Singh wanted to understand how their technology works and the founder shared the details.
- Anupam Mittal was happy with the technology but was not much impressed by their designs.
- Aman Gupta said he learned a lot from the founder about execution and thus gave the first offer.
After all the discussions, Surender Singh received multiple offers from Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, Azhar Iqubal, and Vineeta Singh. As the founder was not interested in a royalty deal, he was only left with Azhar Iqubal’s offer which he accepted.
