3 min readNew DelhiFeb 11, 2026 12:51 PM IST It’s not often that you see the judges of Shark Tank India are lost for words. They witness many ridiculous pitches and over-the-top contestants, but they almost always have something to say. During the latest episode of season 5, a group of three contestants shocked the judges when they announced their educational and professional backgrounds. Their product got attached to this star-studded resume, and the judges could be seen taking a keen interest in what they had to offer. Aviral Gupta, Vidit Sadana, and Syed Uzair Ahmed pitched their product CotoPay to the judges. What this product essentially does is create online payment vouchers, which can be programmed and used for specific expenses a company might incur. First they were asked about their background, and Aviral said he completed his schooling at Doon School, Dehradun, before going to London Business School. He was also a part of the founding team of BharatPe. ALSO READ: Shark Tank India 5 pitcher asks Anupam Mittal if shaadi.com guarantees safety …

The latest episode of Shark Tank India 5 saw a match-off between two stock trading platforms. Despite having founders with an illustrious educational background, the first trading company, Sovrenn, lost out on the deal. During their pitch, Kanika Tekriwal also shared how, coming from a Marwari home, she was often discouraged from gambling or investing in the share market. ‘Sharks’ Aman Gupta, Kunal Bahl, and Anupam Mittal also raised concerns over the brand not integrating AI into their roadmap. Sovrenn is a stock discovery, analysis, tracking, and learning platform that also promotes financial literacy. Founded by Akriti Swaroop, Aditya Joshi, and Apoorva Joshi, the company only provides consolidated data, but doesn’t play the advisory role of trading in the stock market. The company was started in 2023 and has more than 1.25 lakh subscribers today. Being fully bootstrapped, the founders came into the tank with an idea to expand. They asked for an investment of Rs 1 crore for 1 percent equity, placing the company’s valuation at Rs 100 crores. Also Read: Kanika Tekriwal battled …

Being a girl in a male-dominated world is, unfortunately, still not a thing of the past. The glass ceiling may have cracks, but it hasn’t disappeared.

Today, she is the founder of India’s first transparent marketplace for private aviation. This is the inspiring story of Kanika Tekriwal.
