The ₹3.75 Crore to ₹1,100 Crore Story — Let’s Try
This is the investment that silenced every doubter. When Let’s Try — a Delhi-based healthy snacks brand — pitched on Shark Tank India Season 1, almost nobody wanted in. The snacks category felt crowded, the margins were thin, and investors hesitated.
Aman Gupta didn’t. He invested just ₹12 lakh for equity in a company valued at ₹3.75 crore, at a time when multiple sharks had already walked away from the table.
Fast forward to 2026: Let’s Try has scaled its annual revenue from ₹1 crore to over ₹120 crore. The company’s valuation has surged past ₹1,100 crore — a 293x increase on the entry valuation. Aman’s ₹12 lakh stake is now estimated to be worth approximately ₹40 crore, making it one of the most profitable bets in Shark Tank India history.
His now-famous post on X said it all: “My ₹12 lakh investment has turned into ₹40 crore in a company almost nobody wanted to invest in.”

Why His Investment Style Sets Him Apart
What separates Aman from other sharks is his refusal to be purely analytical. He has repeatedly skipped bids where the numbers looked solid but the founder’s conviction didn’t match — and conversely, backed underdogs when the personal energy in the room made him believe.
Season 4 saw him invest a record ₹17.4 crore — the highest individual shark investment in the season — across brands like Beautywise and others in lifestyle and consumer tech, the sectors where boAt’s own DNA gives him a genuine edge others simply don’t have.
