Shark Tank India 4: How Overconfidence Cost a 19-Year-Old Entrepreneur a ₹75 Lakh Deal
His claim to fame was building two successful start-ups, and he went on to ask for ₹75 lakhs in exchange for 1% of his healthcare app. Inspired by Ritesh Agarwal of OYO, he wanted to show his talents and inspire the investors with his story. The story quickly became disjointed when he began talking. Himanshu tried to cover too many topics, resulting in them feeling overwhelmed.
Himanshu’s replies were not answered in the right tone when Kunal Bahl asked him a question since he came across as condescending to Vineeta Singh. She clarified that an app like his with no solid argument would never be welcomed by anyone to invest.
The crisis became more and more intense when Kunal found out that the app had a mistake in it and that Himanshu had only made it two days before the program. At first, Aman Gupta was greatly impressed, but he said, “You have been successful for so long that you cannot see your shortcomings. I was really on my way to 95% attending the event, but your attitude turned me off. So, you no longer have a chance of getting my mentorship.”
Namita Thapar also dropped out, stating that the app lacked originality and Himanshu’s negligent treatment of the competition. Ritesh Agarwal, while also being impressed with Himanshu’s determination, did not invest his money and instead, offered guidance out of the show.
The episode reminded everyone in a very intense way that belief without proper knowledge can be really dangerous. Himanshu’s story is a warning for those who dream of becoming businessmen: as much as the eagerness to achieve is important, the correct humility, preparation, and sharp aim are the main and indispensable keys to success. Despite that fact, your track record demonstrates the significance of developing the habit of listening and taking criticism positively.
