Introduction to Canebot
Kirty Datar and Milin Datar are the founders of Caneboat. They belong to Pune. When we look at Coffee and see that for one cup of coffee Many International Brands have emerged as Best Coffee Makers. This is how they started their startup Canebot. Where they sold 28 Lakh+ Fresh Sugarcane Juice Glasses and then the pandemic happened and their business got completely shut down.
They realized that relying on the offline sector completely is not a good choice, and then they thought if their customer cannot visit their outlet then they should make their juices to reach customers’ homes. With This Idea, they made some traditional combinations based on Sugarcane in form of Packages and they have a shelf life of 1 Year. Their juices are without any preservatives.
Caneboat Success Story | Shark Tank India
You will be amazed to know that both Co-Founders of Caneboat are real-life couples. They have been working in the same IT firm for over 13 Years before starting Caneboat. After marriage, they continued the job for some more time.
One day both of them were having sugarcane juice roadside when they observed a few youngsters coming out of the coffee shop when they were taking selfies then ensured that the Logo of that cafe is visible in the pic. From here Kirty thought why do people never take pics with Sugarcane stalls?
They started with research and after one complete year, they quit their job at the same time. In 2012 Kirty and Milin Started with Caneboat.

Sharks Investing in Caneboat | Shark Tank India
Ghazal Alagh
Ghazal appreciated the team for their business thinking and also pointed them out for doing many things at the same time since Machine Business, Immunity Boosters, and Packaged Drinks are completely different. There is a lot more work needed on research before pitching to investors and that’s why Ghazal got out of this pitch.
Peyush Bansal
Peyush thinks that this is too early for investment. They should focus on one thing and scale it, Today he is out.
Anupam Mittal
Anupam feels that this beverage industry has a big cemetery. 70rs for one bottle is very expensive for a normal person, and they should reduce the pricing or focus on the caneboat business. He doesn’t think that this business is investIBLE and for that reason, he got out of the pitch.
Vineeta Singh
Vineeta also agreed with other sharks, the product market is not fit and they should focus on Caneboat.
