₹1 Cr for 15%, all five investors
Every D2C brand that pitched, and what actually happened after
One structured record per brand: the ask, the valuation, the deal as it was finally structured, who wrote the cheque, and where the business went next.
Largest cheques on record
Ranked by cash invested, taken from the final deal rather than the ask. Indian amounts carry an approximate dollar figure so the two markets can be read side by side.

Browse by market and season
Across the 4 seasons whose totals we can source, 655 pitches aired and 321 left with a deal agreed on air. Those tiles say how much of each is written up here; the rest show only the records we publish.
Season totals, each as its source states it: India S1 — 198 pitches, 67 deals (Wikipedia); India S3 — 157 pitches, 92 deals (Dezerv); India S4 — 148 pitches, 89 deals (Business Today); India S5 — 152 pitches, 73 deals (Newsd). "Deals" means an agreement reached on air, which is not the same as one that closed afterwards — about a third of season 1's did not. Per-shark tallies published elsewhere run higher, because a deal split three ways is counted three times. Seasons without a figure we could source, including every US season, show only the records we publish.

What a search result won't give you
Ask, equity, valuation and the final structure — including the deals that collapsed after the episode aired.
Where it was founded, revenue at pitch, and what actually happened afterwards. Not a recap of the episode.
A discount appears only when the brand has published it and we've re-checked it. Blank means we have nothing valid.
Market, season, investor, vertical and deal size stack together on one page instead of paginating you away.
Pitch figures are taken from the broadcast episodes and the brands' own announcements, last reviewed September 2026. Dollar amounts shown against Indian deals are approximate conversions for comparison only. Spotted something wrong? Send a correction with a source and we'll publish it within 48 hours.
