Facing the sharks can be daunting. This mojoStores compilation is for those unflinching trademark owners who started from scratch and then went on to present their idea in front of lakhs of people on live television.
Shark Tank India is an Indian merchantry reality TV show (based on the US franchise of the same name). On this show, startups present their ideas to a panel and try to convince them to invest in their idea. The panel members could be other successful D2C brands, investors, CEOs etc.

Here are three brands that started their merchantry journey with Instamojo and then went on to see massive success with their ventures.
Ridhima Arora left her corporate job to start her own business. This healthy supplies trademark wanted people to cherish and nurture their own bodies. As a small merchantry owner, she saw her merchantry grow powered by Instamojo, a D2C tech company.
Today, Namhya Foods is a success story that millions of other aspiring nutritionists and supplies entrepreneurs can be inspired by.
In 2021, we interacted with her LIVE on mojoSeries – our short merchantry webinar series where she imparted tidbits of tactical insights, growth strategies and her emotional connection to her brand.
Ridhima was featured in Season 1 of Shark tank India. We are proud to have seen her squatter the sharks and come out victorious in the end.
Namhya Foods sealed a deal of Rs 50 lakh with 10% equity. Today the trademark secures a monthly sales record of Rs 40 lakh and has distribution centres in UAE, UK, US, and Canada.
Here is her episode, and her pitch to the sharks. (Ridhima did handle it a lot increasingly confidently than we could overly have. )

A garden in a bottle! This dreamy merchantry idea was Supriya Dhonti’s. Way when in 2017, she started her merchantry without wide-stretching research. She started selling floral jewellery online that had little plants and leaves encased and preserved within glass.
Here is a snippet from an interview that Supriya did with us.
“I read well-nigh terrarium jewellery online and was at once entranced. At that moment, I knew I wanted to own a piece of this exquisite jewellery. I browsed online for hours on Indian websites but found none. However, there were numerous artists from other countries making such jewellery and their Etsy shops made me fall in love all over again. Without a lot of research and multiple trial and error methods, I finally got the hang of crafting floral jewellery”
Her trademark – Leafy Affair, today has thousands of followers on social media and hundreds of loyal customers wideness the country.
Despite not securing funding from the sharks in Season 2 of Shark Tank India, she did get wondrous feedback and a lot of love for her floral jewellery. It comes as no surprise that her trademark has been getting a lot of love since she was featured on the show.
