As Shark Tank India prepares for its fourth season, the show has once again focused on one of its most successful endeavors. The most recent promo showcases the founders of Proxgy, a company that debuted in the first season and has subsequently risen in value. From a Rs 1 crore investment in 2021 to an outstanding Rs 400 crore valuation now, the company has had a fantastic journey of success.

A Pitch That Transformed A Startup

Proxgy, co-founded by Pulkit Ahuja and Inderjit Singh Makkar, debuted on Shark Tank India Season 1 as a technology-driven company that provides creative solutions.  The founders presented six patented ideas and demonstrated their devices, which include cameras, code scanners, and voice boxes designed for enterprises that require surveillance and KYC verification. Despite initial mistrust from certain judges, they reached an agreement with Ashneer Grover and Peyush Bansal.

At first, the founders wanted Rs 35 lakh for a one percent stake in their business. Nevertheless, after discussions, Ashneer and Peyush decided to invest Rs 1 crore in exchange for a 10% stake in the business, which at the time was worth Rs 10 crore. According to Pulkit, the company's success was greatly influenced by this strategic partnership. He stated in the teaser, "Shark Tank made us what we are today,"

Growth Outpaces Predictions

After three years, Proxgy has experienced significant growth and now has a 400 crore rupee valuation. Even though the promotion highlights this outstanding accomplishment, it's unclear if Peyush Bansal and Ashneer Grover are still employed by the organization.

What Can We Expect from Season 4 of Shark Tank?

There will be more motivational tales in Shark Tank India's next season, which premieres on SonyLIV on January 6. Returning investors Peyush Bansal, Aman Gupta, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, and Anupam Mittal are among this season's judges, along with newcomers Ritesh Agarwal, Kunal Bahl, and Azhar Iqubal. Notably, one of the main characters from the first season of the show, Ashneer Grover, will not be returning.
