Gaurav Taneja reveals Shark Tank judges advised him to close YouTube channels during pitch

Gaurav Taneja, a popular content creator, revealed that Shark Tank India judges advised him to close his YouTube channels during his pitch for his fitness brand, Beast Life. He left the show without investment after judges expressed concerns about his business model. Taneja valued his company at ₹100 crore and sought ₹1 crore for a 1% stake. Despite impressive sales figures, judges raised issues about ownership imbalance and the brand's reliance on his personal image, leading to their decision to opt out. In a LinkedIn post, Taneja compared his brand's rapid growth on social media to that of Shaadi.com, suggesting that traditional business rules are changing. He emphasized the importance of bold decisions in entrepreneurship.
