Today’s episode (February 18) of Shark Tank India 4 featured three equally interesting pitches. The first pitch impressed all the Sharks because the founders are making a significant impact on society—three men working toward a common issue faced by women everywhere: menstruation.

HealthFab, founded by three men from different parts of the country, pitched their company’s product—period panties. They asked for Rs 1 crore in exchange for 3% equity.

After stepping into the tank, the trio shared their mission: to make periods more comfortable. Their period panties, designed for comfort, reduce the need for frequent pad changes. All five Sharks were impressed by the founders' passion. After seeing the product demo, Vineeta Singh folded her hands and told the pitchers, “Thank you, bhai, on behalf of all women. You are doing a great job.”

The Sharks questioned them further about market size, competition, and sales. The pitchers acknowledged that there are other renowned brands in this sector but asserted that none could match their quality. Their sales figures over the past five years also impressed the Sharks. Aman Gupta, curious about their journey, asked, “Why didn’t you come to Shark Tank India in the previous seasons?”

The pitchers revealed that they had applied in the third season but couldn’t get in.

After the initial interaction, Vineeta Singh readily made an offer—Rs 50 lakhs for 1.75% equity and Rs 50 lakhs as debt at 9% interest.

Next, Peyush Bansal asked a series of questions to understand their vision and motivation for the brand. He remarked, “I love your humility and that you are trying to create an impact.” He then offered them their original ask—Rs 1 crore for 3% equity.

Namita Thapar decided to back out after sharing constructive feedback.

Aman Gupta praised the founders and proposed a combined offer with Vineeta Singh—Rs 1 crore for 3%. Anupam Mittal expressed his belief that this brand has the potential to become a global company but initially refrained from making an offer, as there were already two strong ones on the table. However, Aman Gupta invited him to join, suggesting they could increase the investment amount.

After further discussion, the pitchers requested all four Sharks to come together. Anupam Mittal then presented the final deal—Rs 2 crores for 7% equity—which the pitchers accepted.
