Shark Tank India: iDreamCareer bags Rs 1.10 crore deal from Ritesh Agarwal & Aman Gupta

Mumbai: Shark Tank India Season 3, which debuted on 22 January 2024, remains a riveting watch, showcasing a dynamic array of entrepreneurs and their compelling pitches.

The latest episode of Shark Tank Season 3 witnessed iDreamCareer founder Ayush Bansal & co-founder Squadron Leader N Praveen Kumar bagged a deal of Rs 1.10 crore from Ritesh Agarwal & Aman Gupta. The founders introduced the sharks about the need for career guidance among students. With the vision to help more young students achieve their career goals, it is the first-ever career counselling platform that took the stage of Shark Tank India 3.

iDreamCareer is India’s leading career counseling brand that offers comprehensive career & college guidance to students in schools & colleges. It has empowered one million plus students and has partnered with top corporates, private schools, and government institutions to make career guidance accessible for students, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds.

During their pitch, the sharks were impressed by the social impact created by the company. However, Peyush Bansal (founder of Lenskart) was not convinced by the business model of the company and that the company should look at expanding one of the business models.

Sharks Aman & Ritesh resonated strongly with the problem that iDreamCareer is solving; to give career & college guidance to young students.

Later the company got a deal of Rs 1.10 Crore at 60 crore valuation from Aman Gupta (founder of boAt) & Ritesh Agarwal (founder of OYO). The deal comprised Rs 60 lakh equity and the rest of Rs 50 lakh as eight per cent interest debt for two years.

iDreamCareer’s last funding round was in 2022 where it raised Rs 12.50 Crore from Menterra Social Impact Fund, Gray Matters Capital & Artha Impact.

Watch Tramboo Sports’ quest to make Kashmir Willow on Shark Tank India 3

Mumbai : Did you know cricket bats are made of two willows – English willow and Kashmiri willow? The latter, usually heavier, has been a challenge for cricket enthusiasts. But Tramboo Sports, founded by the dynamic duo, 18-year-old Hamad Tramboo and 20-year-old Saad Tramboo, has just the right solution for the problem.

As the one of the largest manufacturers of Kashmir Willow Bats, meticulously crafted from premium grade one Kashmir willow, the Srinagar-based brand tackles the weight issue head-on. Now, with a vision to make Kashmir willow bats the preferred cricketing choice, Hamaad and Saad step onto the stage of Shark Tank India 3, seeking Rs 30 lakhs in exchange for 3 per cent equity.

While discussing their experience on Shark Tank India, co-founder of Tramboo Sports, Hamaad Tramboo, shared, “Growing up watching Shark Tank since childhood, we never imagined that one day we would be pitching our business to the sharks. It was beyond our wildest dreams, and our experience was truly incredible, something we are still processing. From the moment we started our pitch, the sharks’ interest and energy were next level, keeping us motivated throughout. Their insightful questions challenged us to think and pushed us to showcase the true potential of our product. It was indeed an invaluable learning experience that we will never forget—a moment that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

Tramboo Sports’ collection includes tennis bats for tennis balls and season bats for season balls, making cricket affordable and accessible for all. The incorporation of Singapore Cane handles, adept at absorbing shocks, significantly elevates the quality of their bats. Since its inception in 2021, the brand has sold over 20,000 bats, even securing a deal for 1000 bats in Qatar. With their youthful energy, craftsmanship, and a vision to change the perception around Kashmir willow bats, Hamaad and Saad, the youngest pitchers of this season capture all Sharks’ hearts. But will that be enough to crack a deal with the Sharks?
