Ashneer Grover

He is not having any interest in the health sector but when he scrolls Instagram he sees 20 Products When he has evaluated brands early and they got stuck at 5-6 Crores annually so he is out.

Peyush Bansal

He agrees with Ashneer as the issue of uniqueness will remain the same which will act as a barrier to scalability. Nothing big will happen with 1-2 Crores so for this reason, he is out.
