Shark Tank India mein har tarah ke pitchers aate hain, lekin kuch aise hote hain jo apne numbers aur 'ask' (equity demand) mein itne ulajh jaate hain ki Sharks ka interest hi khatam ho jata hai. Aisa hi kuch hua Conker App ki pitch mein.
Chaliye dekhte hain kya tha poora maajra aur kyun Sharks ne is deal ko thukraya
Conker App: Kya Hai Yeh Platform?
Founder Arvind Arora, jo ki ek bahut bade YouTuber hain (A2 Motivation channel, 14 Million+ subscribers), Conker App ko lekar aaye the.
Product: Yeh ek skill-based ed-tech platform hai jahan students ko job-oriented courses karwaye jaate hain (jaise YouTube mastering, Social Media growth, etc.).
Mission: Traditional education se hatkar skills par focus karna taaki log direct kama sakein.
Confusion ki Shuruat: Shagun ka ₹1?
Pitcher ne aate hi ek bahut hi ajeeb 'ask' rakhi. Unhone kaha:
"Aap shagun ka ₹1 bhi denge toh mujhe manzoor hai."
Lekin jab Sharks ne pucha ki asliyat mein kya chahiye, toh unhone bola ₹40 Lakh for 1% equity, lekin hum aapko 2% equity denge purani valuation par.
Anupam Mittal aur Aman Gupta is baat par kaafi chidh gaye. Anupam ne toh yahan tak keh diya, "Aap ghumaiye mat baat ko, seedha bataiye aapko chahiye kya!"
Business Numbers aur Reality Check
Jab Sharks ne detail mein baat ki, toh kuch hairan karne wale facts saamne aaye:
Revenue: Pichle 6 mahino mein ₹1.2 Crore ka revenue kiya tha.
Profits: Pichle mahine ₹20-22 lakh ka revenue tha aur profit sirf ₹2 lakh (8%).
Followers vs Business: Arvind ke YouTube par 14 Million subscribers hain, lekin woh followers app par conversion mein badal nahi pa rahe the.
Engagement Issue: Peyush Bansal ne point out kiya ki inka DAU (Daily Active Users) aur MAU (Monthly Active Users) ka ratio bahut kam hai (sirf 3-4%), jiska matlab hai ki log app download toh kar rahe hain par use nahi kar rahe.
Sharks ka Critical Feedback
Anupam Mittal: Unhe laga ki pitcher "Original" nahi lag rahe hain. Jab Arvind ne shayari sunayi tab woh natural lage, lekin business pitch mein woh sirf badi baatein kar rahe the.
Aman Gupta: Aman ne saaf kaha ki "Ed-tech ki hawa nikal chuki hai," aur is market mein survival mushkil hai.
Peyush Bansal: Peyush ko laga ki product-market fit nahi hai aur founders ko apne metrics (DAU/MAU) ki sahi samajh nahi hai.
Namita Thapar: Namita ne focus ki kami batayi kyunki Arvind ka main focus unka YouTube channel tha, na ki app.
Conclusion: No Deal!
Founders ki confusing ask, focus ki kami, aur weak engagement numbers ki wajah se saare Sharks ne is deal se "Out" hone ka faisla kiya.
Lesson for Entrepreneurs: Shark Tank par aane se pehle aapko apne 'Ask' (Equity aur Funding) ko lekar crystal clear hona chahiye. Agar aap Sharks ko hi confuse karenge, toh woh aapke business mein paisa lagane ka risk kabhi nahi lenge.
