Vibhuti revealed, "The edited version on screen was still relatively mild; the actual experience was much more challenging. I sensed frustration; Vineeta's repetitive critiques on my packaging felt relentless, and I struggled to have a voice. As a bootstrapped entrepreneur seeking assistance, I found it tough to hold back tears at one point. I considered fleeing Shark Tank as I didn't want to break down on national television. Vineeta persistently questioned the unique selling point of my products."
Recalling the aftermath of the shoot, Vibhuti shared, "Initially, I had hoped for funding, but I soon realized it was more about defending myself. Post-pitch, I experienced a mental blackout and anxiety set in." Highlighting a positive turn of events, Vibhuti shared the significant impact on her sales following the exposure on the show.
She expressed, "In January, our sales were in the range of Rs 45-48 lakh. Presently, we are approaching the milestone of Rs 1 crore in sales. The product business has experienced a noticeable boost. Namita, who was my dream shark, holds a special place, and I aspired to collaborate with her along with Peyush Bansal and Azhar Iqubal. Azhar's humility and authenticity can truly benefit a brand like ours."
