Ashneer respected their business as making 9 crores sale is not easy in India but at General awareness, they have lost,
Aman Gupta
The problem is that you are giving Fools (Flower in Hindi) and making us fool by giving the valuation of Rs300 Crores. This startup has no valuation because this is a normal business. Aman will be a fool to give them money over a valuation of Rs300 Crores. For this reason, he is out.
Anupam Mittal
Two sharks are out because of this valuation. The growth strategy of the business is very different so He is out from this business.
Vineeta Singh
In 350Rs this is a very unique thing but when consumers are buying these unique things that is a very niche market. The market is very small and In India, subscription businesses is having very lesser chances of getting success. They are making revenue as they are presently selling in Banglore so for this reason she is out.
Namita Thapar
The valuation of Rs300 Crores is extremely high for this business. She is out.
