Gaurav Taneja, also known as Flying Beast, recently appeared on Shark Tank India Season 4 with his fitness brand, BeastLife, which he co-founded with Raj Gupta. However, the judges, known as ‘sharks,’ didn’t like their pitch and rejected them. After the show, Raj responded to some tough comments made by Anupam Mittal, one of the sharks. He felt that it wasn’t fair to call Gaurav a “terrible entrepreneur,” especially since he works incredibly hard.
In an interview, Raj said, “What Anupam said was really wrong. I saw Gaurav working late into the night and putting in so much effort. It’s not right to put him down like that.” He continued, “People who go on Shark Tank pour their hearts into their businesses. They deserve respect, not harsh criticisms.”
Gaurav and Raj were asking for ₹1 crore for a 1% share in their company, which makes easy-to-digest protein supplements. Anupam Mittal seemed unhappy with their proposal and said to Gaurav, “You’re a great influencer, but you can’t just let others handle the business for you.”
Gaurav later explained on his YouTube channel that the ₹1 crore he mentioned wasn’t personal income but the total revenue of the business, not the profit.
