Vineeta Singh

She has made her decision as the gross margins are low so it becomes a limit to everything as funds for marketing will be less available. Vineeta is facing the category issue and will not be able to participate in their pitch.

Anupam Mittal

The new generation is not adopting this kind of product and they will have to do new category generation which will be very difficult. For this reason, he will choose to stay out of this pitch.

Namita Thapar

She has also made her decision as in other products there is nothing new and trendy therefore she is out.

Peyush Bansal

This is a very non-cool category for today’s millennials. You will have to add that cool thing to your brand to make yourself different from others. For today he will like to stay out.

Ghazal Alagh

She said that the founders are having mo shortage of funds. 

Offer- Rs30 Lakhs for 10% Equity and Rs45 Lakhs Debt @ 12% interest.

The last Clash between Falcon Steel vs Ghazal

They countered the offer with Rs75 Lakhs for 6% Equity.

Ghazal countered Rs75 Lakhs for 11% Equity on the condition that if they will be unable to make it 12 Crores they will return the money with interest.

Falcon stayed on their last offer.

Hence the deal was unable to crack and Pitchers gained much mentorship from Tank.
