‘Tastes like chemical’: Namita Thapar slams beverage brand 3 Sisters; Viraj Bahl-Varun Alagh question ‘cluttered’ vision | Television News

The ‘sharks’ of Shark Tank India have adopted a far more scrutinising approach this season. That cautious stance was evident in the latest episode, where two of the three pitchers left without a deal. Among them were the founders of beverage brand 3 Sisters, who appeared on Shark Tank India Season 5 to showcase their product range but failed to convince the ‘sharks’ to invest in their company. In fact, the brand’s product variations drew sharp feedback and pointed criticism from Varun Alagh, Viraj Bahl, Vineeta Singh, Namita Thapar, and Kunal Bahl. 3 Sisters is a new-age beverage brand specialising in non-alcoholic beers. The company began with three flavours and has since expanded its portfolio to include multiple sub-brands. It has also diversified into party mixers and flavoured sodas. Founded by Mumbai-based entrepreneurs Manish Kanunga, Nimish Solanki, Akshay Solanki, and Sanjay Prasad Bari, the team entered Shark Tank India seeking an investment of Rs 3 crore for 2.5% equity, valuing the company at Rs 120 crore.
