Anupam Mittal shares that he finds pitches everywhere he goes as now people recognize him. He even ended up hearing a pitch on the rollercoaster ride in Disneyland, he said “A few months ago, my wife, daughter, and I were visiting Disneyland in Paris. There is a roller coaster in the amusement park where 6 to 8 people can sit, so my wife, my daughter Alyssa and I, three of us sat there and 3-4 more people were sitting with us. They understood I am from Shark Tank India so they greeted me and I did the same but later, even before the ride, they started pitching their ideas.”

Vineeta Singh


Vineeta shared an inspiring story on how kids have got inspired by the show and they want to get serious about starting their own businesses once they grow up. She said, “When I go to the park with my kids, young girls, who are aged around 6-7 years, come up to me and say 'even we want to become an entrepreneur.' When I was growing up, I had fewer role models and today, young girls are saying they want to become entrepreneurs. Earlier, entrepreneurs were not taken seriously but now when I see these young girls their mothers are not opposing but supporting their dreams.”
She further added, “Kids get inspired by what they see and for them to see so many women coming to the Shark Tank... last season there were 48% women pitchers. I feel the next two-three decades for young girls will be different and Shark Tank will have a lot of impact on that.”

Peyush Bansal


Peyush revealed that once a fan had even followed him home. He said, “Once someone waved at me while I was in the car. I waved back and then half an hour later, when I reached near my house, I got down and saw another car stopped behind me and it was the person who waved at me.” He also shared that while travelling with his family the airport staff recognized him and all of them demanded a selfie, he couldn't get his family time as everyone wanted to share their pitches and have pictures with him.
