25:05How do you test it?
25:06There are three or four ways.
25:08There is a spectroscope,
25:10light pass,
25:11there is a UV,
25:12there is also a microscope crystal.
25:14So in each one,
25:15the grooves are made and cut,
25:17the carvings are made from wood,
25:19so you get to know that this is the truth.
25:23I see that I'm going to paint, okay?
25:26Now, my best friend who believes in the temple,
25:30I'm also in the temple,
25:31he came from the temple free,
25:34and I had to paint.
25:35This thing is not 50 money,
25:37but it works for me.
25:38So the thing that is working in 50 money,
25:42why am I expected to pay so much money for it?
25:46And we are commercializing so pure things?
25:49The reason for that is because
25:50this is not the answer of the real question.
25:52And it is not the answer for decades.
25:54Now, we go to the theater,
25:56we give money there too.
25:58There is a reason why you do all of these things.
26:00Okay.
26:00So, my personal motive to commercialize,
26:04was that if there is such a big gap in the market,
26:07that everyone is doing anything,
26:08then I don't like it.
26:10Especially if there is so much more to do in this space.
26:13As a consumer,
26:14I can go and choose myself,
26:16because everyone tells you that you should wear this energy stone.
26:20We do education.
26:21We do a pundit,
26:22because you have a little interest,
26:24right?
26:25Correct.
26:25So, that is not right.
26:27Our general,
26:28does not point out individually,
26:30if it is in your life,
26:31then what happens?
26:31What is the stone to know?
26:34What has been written about it?
26:35And what does it happen?
26:37You can see our content.
26:38So, this is our Instagram.
26:40It has 2,10,000 followers.
26:42Now, we have over 12,000 customers.
26:44You can see this,
26:46Rudraksh in every Indian house.
26:47We are taking the initiative of Rudraksh in every house.
26:50For 5-month Rudraksh,
26:52you can see it as safe.
26:54And we want to have a Rudraksh in every house.
26:57So, for free of cost,
26:58to reach this 5-month Rudraksh in your house.
27:00So, you are being sold on your house?
27:02Yes, we are being sold on your house.
27:03How many people have been sold on this?
27:05Every month,
27:06approximately 12,000-13,000 people.
27:0912,000-13,000 people?
27:10You have heard that there are a couple of companies like
27:14Shri Mandir and Vama.
27:16There are 2 companies.
27:17You know,
27:18E Darshan,
27:19E Chadhawa,
27:20then they've extended into astrology,
27:23spiritual tours and all that.
27:25Next step is that the products are launched.
27:27Correct.
27:28So, how do you think about that as competition?
27:31I love competition.
27:33Competition helps grow the market.
27:35I love that.
27:36I've seen it myself.
27:37We were one of the top players.
27:38After that, I came to Astro Talk.
27:41And I realized that this is a very good thing.
27:43Our sales are increasing.
27:44So, competition is good for business.
27:47They started from services and then moved into products.
27:50So, you started from products.
27:52What is your vision that ultimately you will also shift in that area and become a one-stop shop?
27:58Look, there is a progression.
27:59As we move in companies,
28:01I don't know what things are going on in this industry.
28:04So, I realized that there is a lot to do.
28:06Why?
28:07Because the combination of ethics and business is very rare.
28:11So, I believe that what I deal with things,
28:14I am very stringent of ethics.
28:17That it should not be compromised.
28:18Business should make sense.
28:19But in an ethical way.
28:21Ethics, there are a lot of flavors and shades.
28:24Correct.
28:26Ethics can be a flavor that we are giving real money,
28:29and that is a lot of profit.
28:31Correct.
28:32It may be that we are promoting spirituality.
28:35There is no high profit margin.
28:37We are more mass premium.
28:39So, our pricing is fairly in-line.
28:43Of course, you have these certain commoditized items.
28:46They are at a very low price.
28:48Certain high-ticket people sell in lakhs.
28:50Now, if someone wants a real product,
28:52and when they trust us,
28:53if we have to acquire customers,
28:55we have to advertise them.
28:56So, we have to build that trust through our product.
28:58We have to guarantee customers the real product.
29:01And we have to do our efforts.
29:03Because we put a lot of effort into testing, reliability,
29:07and vendor-sourcing, etc.
29:09How can we do these products to the younger generation?
29:14It's going to start.
29:15Like the designs.
29:16Right.
29:17So, improve the designs.
29:18Get Zodiac bands.
29:20So, Zodiac is somebody who relates to the younger generation.
29:23So, they understand the school.
29:24So, make the products in a way that resonates with them
29:26as they get into the ecosystem.
29:28Then, get them into the other things and the stones, etc.
29:33Rito, how much percentage of your business is your business?
29:3640%.
29:38So, the remaining 60% is the energy stones.
29:40Karungali, energy stones, and spiritual.
29:42And how many SKUs are in total?
29:44Around 250.
29:44And how much percentage of your marketing spend?
29:4640.
29:47So, your making cost is very low.
29:4920 is COGS and packaging.
29:5080% gross margin.
29:5180% gross margin.
29:54Tell us a little bit about the revenue of the business,
29:57so that we can grow up, please.
29:58So, we started in December 2022.
30:00So, in that sense, we did
30:0288 lakhs net revenue.
30:04In which EBITDA was 19 lakhs.
30:06In 24, our revenue was 12 CR.
30:10And our 7% EBITDA.
30:12In 25, it was 18 CR net revenue.
30:16And it was 12% EBITDA.
30:18Now, currently, like year to date, 6 months,
30:22our revenue has 25.5 CR.
30:27And how many years will we end this year?
30:2960.
30:29How much did the jump happen in Rito?
30:32Competition has come.
30:33The market is starting to open.
30:34And EBITDA is expected?
30:3520%.
30:36How much did you get out of EBITDA?
30:39Percentage?
30:39Marketing, shipping.
30:41So, how much was marketing as a percentage?
30:43Last year, 45.
30:46Did you get out of your money?
30:47My friends and family got out of 40 lakhs.
30:48They have got CCPS.
30:49When did this happen?
30:50December, January 23.
30:52What business did you make?
30:53I mean, I've seen such a business.
30:55I've hardly seen such a business.
30:57But I won't be able to connect with you.
31:00Frankly, because it is against my belief system.
31:02I'm a very spiritual man.
31:05And I cannot profit from anything which makes people believe
31:10they can do well or get healthier or anything when they spend money.
31:14I wish you all the best.
31:15But I'm sorry, I won't be able to connect with you.
31:17Only for my own belief system.
31:20Ruto, I'm a little anti-nuckly and anti-superstition.
31:26So, what you explained about the real ethics,
31:30and after the competition, what you addressed your head-on
31:33is that there are so many superstitions in India,
31:36that it is necessary to emerge from a real player.
31:40It is necessary.
31:41Right?
31:42And that's why I'd like to give you an offer.
31:45I'd like to give you 1.5 crores for 1.5%.
31:50Because that will value you 100 crores.
31:52Which is about two times the revenue that I think you may come in at this year.
31:56So, that's my offer to you.
31:57Thank you, Namika.
31:58Thank you, Namika.
31:59Ruto, you're going to do 12 crores in this year.
32:01I think that my 1.5 crores is necessary.
32:05Either it is necessary or it is the right opportunity to invest 1.5 crores in this year.
32:13Because this business doesn't need cash.
32:15So, for that reason, I would like to be out of this business.
32:21Why are you making this 12 crores profit?
32:23Why are you making this 12 crores?
32:24The vision that I have seen, I have not seen a spiritual wearables brand.
32:29The dream I have dreamt is a billion dollar enterprise value.
32:32Billion dollar enterprise value means a unicorn.
32:35Unicorn is a dream.
32:37It's a dream.
32:37It's a dream.
32:38In this space, like this year, you're going to spend 25 crores in marketing.
32:42Correct.
32:43For a 50-60 crores business.
32:45It's a concept of involution.
32:49In China, it's a term that when a lot of people come to a space,
32:54the margin starts to grow very progressively.
32:58So, I just feel like there's a little fragility in the business,
33:02which doesn't seem to look at the numbers of today's numbers.
33:04Correct.
33:05To predict a little bit hard, I'm going to come out with this.
33:09Ritu, I'm looking at a solid founder.
33:14Ritu, I'm looking at a solid CEO.
33:16I can just imagine,
33:17how we're working with our team.
33:20So, I want to join with this.
33:23But I want to join with Namita.
33:25Okay.
33:26I'll give you an offer.
33:27Barun and Namita coming together.
33:301.5 crore at 1.5% equity.
33:34But 1% royalty.
33:36Till we get our principal back, which is very fair.
33:39How will you help us?
33:41We'll jump and jam.
33:42I'll tell you from a young Gen Z perspective.
33:45How do we get in product which just goes like fire amongst Gen Z's?
33:50It's so much to do in this space, that like for the next 90 days, there are 15 concerts happening.
33:57Which are faith concerts.
33:58And where actually 20 to 30-year-olds are going.
34:02Ritu, we understand global markets.
34:05That is a good thing.
34:05MQR is in 90 countries.
34:07I understand what it's like to be in 90 countries.
34:10I understand complexity.
34:12I understand legal and regional nuances.
34:15I understand distribution.
34:17Your pricing is going to be a game changer.
34:23Different.
34:24You can help convince yourself.
34:25So take a deal.
34:26Let's not waste time.
34:29I mean, this whole 1.5 is like, what have you put on the table?
34:36Good answer.
34:39I'm thinking that you are so commercially savvy founder.
34:42How do you not realize this?
34:45What are you doing?
34:46Ritu, he's out.
34:49I don't want this deal.
34:50Let's come up with something that works for both of us.
34:55I'm giving you a counter that you can't refuse.
34:59And this is our final offer.
35:00Then take it or leave it.
35:031.5 crore instead of at 1.5% equity.
35:06We will take it at 1% equity.
35:08The royalty will continue.
35:10Zero risk for the sharks.
35:11Hey, the out you don't listen to that.
35:13You don't listen to that today.
35:14If you're taking the money, please listen to that.
35:26Come on.
35:27Let's close the deal.
35:30What the hell?
35:31Good.
35:33Look, I'm sitting here with you.
35:35I'm sitting here with you.
35:43Wonderful.
35:43Fantastic.
35:44Thank you, Namita.
35:45I'm going to make your face.
35:46Thank you, guys.
35:46Congratulations.
35:47All the best.
35:56Just stick with me.
35:56Just stick with me.
35:57Just stick with me.
35:58Just stick with me.
36:00The initial offer came.
36:02The value of the ownership over time was reduced from it.
36:06After that, with royalty, I felt unfair deal.
36:09So, to make balance, I felt that we're not dropping our value.
36:14We've been trying to get the value.
36:16We'll get the fruit.
36:17So, Varun and Namita will help with the international expansion of branding and marketing.
36:22So I feel like it's a consultant fee, which I pay as royalty.
36:26Friends, you have a great pleasure in the OPPO, Make Your Moment Zone,
36:30where we believe that you should be authentic, be yourself and be present.
36:34Friends, living in the present is a way of fulfillment.
36:37And for living in the present, spirituality helps a lot of people.
36:40And we are Ritoban brothers,
36:42who is a spiritual wearable brand.
36:45They get a deal now,
36:47so what happened to them?
36:50I'm really enjoying it.
36:51Amazing, Sharks.
36:52And if you get a deal, then what happened to them?
36:54What happened to them?
36:55There was a moment in everyone's journey when you realized
36:58that things will be better and good.
37:00Tell me about your start-up journey.
37:03Which moment after you came,
37:05now everything is in your hands.
37:07So it was a big issue from our return and RTO for about half a year.
37:12Sometimes it was like, maybe the company will be closed.
37:15We didn't have funding in bootstrap,
37:17but we did a little bit of effort and solved it.
37:21But as soon as the RTO problem improved,
37:24the RTO delivery was better.
37:26Our margins are better and we are able to thrive.
37:29And people are asking us more about it.
37:31In fact, sometimes the post of the competition
37:33doesn't have to incur, don't have to incur, don't have to incur.
37:35So if you look happy, it will be very good.
37:37Very big, very big.
37:38You have your zeal and enthusiasm for your business.
37:43It has your best wishes for our people.
37:45And I want to capture this enthusiasm for this
37:47and I want to take a big selfie with our OPPO Reno 15.
37:51It has an ultra-wide lens that captures it in 4K.
37:54So are you excited and ready for the selfie?
37:56Let's do it.
37:57Yep.
37:57Welcome to Shark Tank India, co-presented by Canvai and OPPO,
38:12co-powered by Lahori Zira and partners,
38:14Rezon Solar, Fixderma,
38:16Payment Gateway, Wild Gold and Jeeva.
38:19Hello Sharks.
38:47One time, take your shoes and try this.
38:50Do you have to be able to take your legs without touching
38:53and take your other fingers from the other side?
38:55If you are not able to do this,
38:57then it is not your fault.
38:58It is probably your shoes.
39:01What are our most of the shoes,
39:03narrow, overly cushioned and heel supported?
39:07As you can see, the normal function of our legs
39:11disrupts and it feels like this.
39:15Heel pain, plant of asciitis, bunion,
39:18such as problems we have become.
39:20And as we feel our little bit old,
39:23our balance also feels like this.
39:27Nice. You okay?
39:28All because of these bad shoes.
39:31What do you know about the founder?
39:32Hello Sharks, my name is Saheb Agarwal.
39:34I've come from Delhi and I'm the founder of Zen Barefoot.
39:39We make high quality barefoot shoes.
39:42These are wide so that you can use your legs
39:46in a natural spray.
39:48And when you wear them,
39:49you don't feel like you have to wear anything.
39:52We wear our shoes that you can use your legs
39:54all the power because of our thin, flat and flexible shoe design.
40:00Sharks barefoot shoes are an absolute life changer.
40:04And we want to take this change to India.
40:07For which, we ask you 1 crore for 5% equity in our company.
40:12So Sharks, what's the deal about it?
40:13Take the shoes of Zen Barefoot,
40:16and give money.
40:18What a bad boss.
40:20Thank you Sharks.
40:20Welcome to the Shark Tank India season 5, Sahir.
40:24Sorry to interrupt you.
40:26But if you don't mind,
40:27I have a very important pillar of my business
40:30and my CEO,
40:31100% sweat, 0% equity,
40:34I want to call my father.
40:35Oh sweet.
40:36Please allow.
40:38Thank you so much.
40:43Why did uncle come before?
40:46He didn't call the cartwheel.
40:47How did uncle come before?
40:48He will probably be better with me.
40:53Hi Sharks, I'm Sanjeev Agarwal.
40:54I'm Saib's father.
40:55Welcome to the tank sir.
40:57So Saib, first let's start the story.
40:59Why this shoe?
41:01What is your idea?
41:03I saw a video on YouTube
41:04where this one music producer walks
41:07from the west coast of the US to the east coast.
41:10He inspired me so much that I was on the journey
41:13that I want to do something crazy.
41:15So at that time I left my job
41:18to walk from Kanyakumari to Kashmir alone.
41:21So at that time I was preparing for my first full marathon.
41:26I was wearing one of the best shoes
41:28and I got injured.
41:30And then the pain of the physio,
41:32it's never been finished.
41:34During that physio process,
41:35there's this one osteopath
41:37who told me about barefoot shoes.
41:39I left my job.
41:41I was doing freelance to make money, pay rent.
41:44So we saw a market gap.
41:46I thought it would probably be less than MBA
41:48and I'll probably go into two years.
41:50And why is Papa's 0% equity?
41:53He said that it's easy to manage accounts in the sole proprietorship.
41:57So we start that.
41:59Plus I think initially we didn't know
42:01how much of the market will go,
42:02how much of the market will not go.
42:03We will do it or not.
42:04Because we don't have a background in D2C,
42:06shoe making.
42:08So now we know that we are in a stage
42:11and where we know that we can do it.
42:13We are also looking at the market.
42:14So that is why we are here.
42:16And are you involved in the business?
42:17I am 100% involved.
42:1990% of the time I give this work.
42:2010% of my own work.
42:22We are now having our foundry at Batala, Punjab.
42:25Okay.
42:25Saheb, did you want to join your family business?
42:28I was at a time.
42:29I did engineering mechanical in college.
42:32Only because of our foundry.
42:34Where from college?
42:35I didn't have to take bits.
42:36I did mechanical engineering with economics.
42:39Then I moved to Bangalore.
42:40I joined STOA.
42:41So for two years I was there.
42:43And then I started Zen Barefoot.
42:45And where do they become?
42:46We are making it in Delhi NCR.
42:49If we can see the whole world,
42:50the running community is going more and more
42:53with the heel support and its side.
42:55And you are recommending barefoot for full marathons.
42:59Why do they understand its science?
43:02A sports shoe is for sports.
43:04There is a problem when we wear sports shoes
43:06or sneakers everywhere.
43:08If you look at sprinters today,
43:10at least they don't have cushioned footwear.
43:12Cushioned footwear is when you are pushing yourself
43:14beyond a point when you don't have a pair load.
43:17There was a study done by this company called
43:19My Foot Function in Sri Lanka,
43:21where they compared the pair
43:22with the people who don't wear shoes
43:24versus who wear shoes.
43:26So this was all started with this book called
43:28Born to Run.
43:29Born to Run, of course.
43:30They have a tribe in South America
43:34who studied because they run hundreds of kilometres
43:39at like 20km per hour speed.
43:41And they run barefoot
43:42and they have no injury for years.
43:45And then the whole theory was
43:47that all the brands
43:49that have released these shoes,
43:51cushioning and injuries started
43:53and originally our foot's muscles
43:57to strengthen them,
43:58we are supposed to run there.
43:59So I am understanding this science
44:01that in our everyday life,
44:04in our office,
44:04we wear sports shoes and sneakers.
44:07So you are saying,
44:07that's not right.
44:09Actually, it's harmful for us.
44:10It needs to be a balance.
44:12Like you cannot go all out
44:14in cushioned shoes at all times also.
44:15I mean, there are multiple studies,
44:17a study as recent as 2024
44:19in University of Florida
44:20proved that barefoot running
44:22can actually be safer
44:23than running in cushioned shoes.
44:24Your shoes,
44:26their use case is also in the gym.
44:28For sure, 60-70% gym,
44:3020-ish percent are like
44:32runners-runners
44:33and 10% would be more
44:34office-penning and wearing it.
44:37Why are we making such ugly shoes?
44:40Runners are also good shoes.
44:42On our website,
44:43we have only the first model,
44:44the one that Viraj is wearing.
44:46The ones that you are wearing
44:47are the upcoming shoes.
44:48Let's launch this.
44:51Actually, that is a demand
44:52which people want us to ask.
44:54Why?
44:54There are a lot of people
44:55who want barefoot shoes
44:56to wear but they have no option.
44:58So a lot of people ask,
44:59we want to wear it in the office.
45:01So make us a little
45:02all-black type, please.
45:04You are making an athletic shoe.
45:06Why are you running behind
45:07office-goers' requirements?
45:10Vinita, actually,
45:11I have to understand
45:12who is making it for me.
45:14Tell me very sharply,
45:15what do you see after three years?
45:17When we started,
45:18we knew that today
45:19knowledge of barefoot shoes
45:21are with people
45:22who are gyming,
45:22who are in fitness
45:23or who are injured.
45:26So the idea was
45:27tier 1 cities,
45:28people from 25 to 45
45:30who have either been injured
45:31or are in a physio space
45:32or are physically active.
45:35Actually,
45:36those three audiences
45:37are a lot of big audiences.
45:40Because the injury audience
45:42is the GTM orthopedics.
45:44Right.
45:45If you talk about runners,
45:46it is a different
45:47GTM and marketing strategy
45:49and the gym is actually
45:51a different strategy.
45:52Fair.
45:53I have seen your shoes
45:54very comfortable.
45:55No doubt about it.
45:56I felt airy,
45:58I felt comfortable.
45:59But what would you choose
46:00in these three teams
46:01if I would like you?
46:03Gym goers would be
46:03my first target audience
46:05for sure.
46:07How many sizes do we keep?
46:08UK 2, UK 13
46:10and unisex.
46:11So you have
46:13sharpness on that
46:14that you have to target
46:16children and
46:18adults too.
46:20We have now
46:22two lots
46:23in UK 3 and UK 12.
46:26UK 3 worked for a lot of women
46:29so we started to UK 12
46:31but we had so many sizes
46:33that we have 13
46:34and we have also taken two.
46:35This is 6,000 rupiah.
46:38It is 6,000 rupiah.
46:39We have 4,799 rupiah.
46:41Tell us about the business
46:42what are we selling?
46:43Where are we selling?
46:45We are only selling on our website.
46:47We started sales on February 20, February.
46:49This year?
46:5025.
46:51We have only 7, 8 months
46:52we have been working on this.
46:53February, March last
46:55we have sold 11.5 million
46:56and we have pre-orders.
46:58And now we have sold
47:00from April 30, September
47:00we have sold 40 million.
47:03We have all sales online.
47:05This is only September month.
47:06It is 6,000 rupiah.
47:07How much EBITDA?
47:08EBITDA is about 9,000 rupiah.
47:1121%?
47:1221%
47:13Can you explain the unit economics?
47:16Our cost is 28%.
47:184% is our freight and couriers.
47:21And 4% is our Shopify and gateway charges.
47:2530% is our expenses in the office
47:28which is the warehouse expenses and salaries.
47:315% is our market and 8% is our R&D and travel expenses.
47:36So, the total is 79% and 21% is our business.
47:39So, you are selling on the website
47:40only 5% in the marketing.
47:42Right.
47:44Saheb, good to have is not so important
47:47until it becomes cool and aspirational to have.
47:50Agreed.
47:51So, how are you thinking about
47:53making it not just good to have
47:55but cool to have?
47:57We want to sell the lifestyle
47:58in a way where going barefoot becomes cool.
48:01And not the shoe in particular.
48:04So, that is why the kind of events
48:06that we are working on,
48:07like we did an event recently
48:09when we went to Bangalore Airport
48:10HSR layout which is 44 km pedal
48:13and some 50-60 people registered for it.
48:1613 people actually came.
48:17I was just like walking for a walker.
48:19You said you were making it for gyms.
48:23Walking people have a different audience.
48:24Again, it could be an older audience.
48:27Old person went to an airport to HSR walk.
48:30These were all people who were 25-30 km.
48:34So, the idea is to make this lifestyle more,
48:36I won't say fancy,
48:37but more fun, aspirational.
48:41What are you envisioning in the last 10 years?
48:43What is the shape of this business?
48:47I am very sure that in the next 5 years,
48:50it will be 5-6x market wise at least.
48:53So, you are saying that now it is double digit crores,
48:57it will reach the market to 100 crores.
48:59Yes, 100, 1.5-200,
49:01it will reach the market.
49:02But then why are you raising money?
49:04In the market,
49:05you will make a 50-60 crores company
49:08very profitable,
49:0915-20 crores EBITDA.
49:11Right.
49:11But what do you want to do as an investor?
49:14If we talk about growth,
49:15how are we going to do it?
49:16Until now,
49:17we are not limited to India.
49:19So, you think you want to make an international
49:21barefoot brand?
49:22Not an athlete first shoe brand in India.
49:25We are already talking about some people in Europe.
49:28I recently went to an exhibition.
49:30Okay, I understand.
49:31I want to give you a bit of honest feedback.
49:36Sure, please.
49:37Number one,
49:38you have told me that your ideal customer will be 70% gym,
49:4020% walk, run and 10% athleisure.
49:43In every one that you have to educate and approach,
49:49it is completely different.
49:50Right.
49:51Second,
49:52you will pay $5,000 which is still very expensive.
49:54Right.
49:54For both these things,
49:56targeting so many different types of customers and use cases,
49:59and charging a high price,
50:01you will pay for great brand build and marketing.
50:05For sure.
50:05And for that reason, I am out.
50:07Fair.
50:08Thank you so much.
50:08Sahib, I have a fundamental flaw in this product.
50:13The logo is reminding me of Adidas.
50:16It is running three waves, three stripes.
50:19And in this triangle,
50:20you are making so good product
50:21and you are taking me to completely.
50:23Please, go back to God today and change the logo.
50:27Okay.
50:28You are going in the me too position.
50:30Until I have made my decision.
50:33My decision is that what Vinita will say,
50:36I will do.
50:37Oh my god, so much pressure.
50:38If he will invest,
50:40then there is a request to take me with him.
50:42If he is out, then I will be with him.
50:44Okay.
50:44Vinita, over to you.
50:46Sahib, you can't inspire me.
50:50I was probably the most targeted,
50:53shark because I will run every year,
50:56every year, every year,
50:57every year, 1200 to 1500 km.
51:00Right.
51:00The problem I have right now is that
51:03India will become an incredible athletic shoe brand.
51:07The spark that needs to be,
51:10is not showing me right now.
51:13So for that reason, right now,
51:15sorry Viraj,
51:16we will do another deal with us.
51:18But I think come back again
51:20with a larger, more inspiring mission.
51:23So Viraj and Vinita are out.
51:27Sahib, my biggest problem is that
51:29you are not able to make choices.
51:32You can't make a choice in the first TG.
51:33You talk about the gym,
51:35then you talk about the walking events.
51:37You've been excited with this,
51:38that it is a barefoot idea,
51:41but you have not been driven with this.
51:43With such injuries,
51:45I mean, you have changed the world.
51:47Saying,
51:48boss,
51:49if you know the world
51:51that you can change your life
51:53and I want to know that
51:54it is going to happen to people,
51:56then the energy is not coming.
51:58And that energy comes into sharpness.
52:01So that's why I'm not inspired.
52:05So for that reason,
52:06I'm out, man.
52:07Fair.
52:08Thank you so much.
52:09One shot is the best.
52:10Yes.
52:11You are doing a good job.
52:13You are doing a good job.
52:15And your numbers are okay.
52:16But what is not clear about it,
52:19I don't understand that
52:20you are the most popular show in Barefoot community.
52:24What is next step?
52:26I don't know the answer to that question.
52:28I don't know that you are the best.
52:30So today I am out of it
52:33because I am not clear that next orbit.
52:37When the orbit is clear,
52:39I think you are a very compelling
52:42investment candidate.
52:43You are a very good investor.
52:45Wish you all the best.
52:46Thank you so much.
52:47So all the best.
52:48All the best.
52:49Just keep running.
52:55You are comfortable in the truth.
52:56You are comfortable in the truth.
52:58But execution would have been an issue with the founder.
53:02We have not told the truth.
53:06Before we can understand,
53:07I think we have made a lot of shards.
53:09There are a lot of things that we do not know today.
53:12And when we know that we will be able to know,
53:14it will be a better opportunity
53:16that we will be able to get back
53:17and maybe we will be able to get funding for the next time.
53:21We are eating tasty protein from India.
53:24There are so many fans that we are eating every minute.
53:29Wow.
53:30That is absolutely super huge.
53:32That is super huge.
53:33That is super huge is better.
53:34I have only bought a 10-gram bar.
53:36My experience is not good.
53:37It was very hard to me.
53:39What I like about you guys is that you are hustlers.
53:42You are making profitably.
53:44We are making a lot of luxury clothing in the TBFO.
53:50With the prices you will be able to keep open.
53:54The story was started with a try on video.
53:58It has become a social media sensation today.
54:00Zero performance marketing, profitable, growing, doubling year on year.
54:04Unbelievable.
54:06In China, there are more than 100 billion sales
54:10only in the live commerce.
54:12And we were among the first ones
54:13that we started on Instagram.
54:17It is a e-mobility platform
54:19which is not good quality electric scooters.
54:21It is also providing the entire ecosystem.
54:25All the services on the same platform.
54:27A reasonable ask.
54:286 crore for 3% equity.
54:326 crore, which is probably the biggest ask for the sharp tank.
54:36Cost to pay.
54:371.2, 1.3.
54:38But you are only 3,000 rupees.
54:39Yes.
54:40Your profit is coming because of your extraordinary arbitrage in this pricing.
54:45You know, because you are losing.
54:48They understand their assets.
54:50They are an execution game.
54:51It is not capital intensive.
54:52Absolutely capital intensive.
54:54I don't know.
54:56You are misguiding.
54:57I think I know what I am speaking.
54:59I will let you come in after I am done.
55:02If you want to come to my offer,
55:05it will might be in specs.
