Later, the pitchers of the haircare brand, Dhurv Madhok and Dhruv Bhasin talked in detail about their goals and introduced the sharks to their brand. The pitchers stated that their aim is to set their brand as India's best-selling and high-performing hair care brand. Moreover, they asked sharks for Rs. 1 crore for 1.25% equity. To this, Vineeta Singh welcomed them and asked if they came to the show only for marketing, considering their brand is already huge, wherein Taapsee Pannu is the brand ambassador. Vineeta said:
"Your brand is already funded and huge. Taapsee Pannu has been your brand ambassador, so why have you come to Shark Tank? Is it just for marketing because aap deal toh close karne wale ho nahi."
Going further, the pitchers expressed their wish to grow their business and wanted the sharks' experience and smart money. Later, the sharks questioned the pitchers about the products, pricing, and other financial aspects. When asked about how much money they have left, the pitchers revealed that they are going along with the remaining amount of Rs. 50 lakhs in the bank, which shocked Aman Gupta, who further questioned the pitchers about how they could be left with Rs. 50 lakhs after raising Rs. 28 crores. Sharks also told the pitchers that their business was dying. The pitchers shared that they have solid products, but something is undermining their business.
