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.

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.
