FollowIn a recent Shark Tank India season 3 episode, Aman Gupta rejected a company proposal that Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded. We witnessed the creators of the startup Daak Room pitch their firm. They stated that Daak Room encourages physical writing through their ads and goods.

However, Aman Gupta rejected the pitch, saying it is not a business. “This used to happen in very old times. It’s not a business. I am out because I don’t have the same passion for writing like you guys, so I won’t be able to add more value,” he said.
Peyush Bansal also decided not to invest in Daak Room and suggested that the founders transform their business into a stationary brand. “I cannot understand what your exact service that is being offered is, and what your revenue model is,” he said.
