## The Two Deals That Spoke for Themselves

During the Shark Tank India Season 5 Campus Special, Pratham Mittal backed two early-stage student startups. Floreal — a modern crochet floral gifting brand founded by Vanshika Mittal, a student of Lovely Professional University — entered the tank seeking ₹1 crore for 3% equity and secured a deal of ₹1 crore for 8% equity from Pratham Mittal and Mohit Yadav of Minimalist. In the second deal, Two Words Away — a private “by-default” event management platform founded by Sanchit Garg of the National University of Singapore — pitched for ₹10 lakh for 10% equity and secured the investment on the same terms from Pratham Mittal, Mohit Yadav, and Kunal Bahl of Snapdeal.

Not massive cheques — but enormously meaningful ones for student founders just finding their feet.

## What Makes Pratham Mittal a Different Kind of Shark

Pratham has been vocal about wanting to change the narrative around how feedback is delivered to young founders. “I think there’s a way to deliver feedback without putting somebody else down,” he said, criticising the trend of “Shark Tank culture” where reality gets overshadowed by television ratings.

His entrepreneurial journey started in 2011 with Outgrow, a SaaS platform in New York focused on interactive content marketing used by millions globally. That experience of building scalable products shaped his next act — founding Masters’ Union in 2020 as an alternative to traditional MBA programs, and Tetr College of Business in 2024, where students build real startups while earning their degrees.

His belief? Student founders are special because “they are not yet corrupted by the realities of the world — they think anything is possible.” [Northeastern Global News](https://news.northeastern.edu/2026/03/27/new-covid-19-cicada-variant/)

[Shark Tank India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_Tank_India) has consistently been India’s most powerful entrepreneurship platform, and Pratham’s entry adds a vital education-first lens to it.
