Atmosphere Studio Shark Tank India Update
Atmosphere Studios didn’t get the deal in Shark Tank because the founders didn’t want to go above 10% equity. The founder refused to accept Vineeta’s debt offer.
As Aman said, there would be 90% of people in India would have heard about Kombucha for the first time in Shark Tank India. That’s right, we didn’t even know there was a drink called Kombucha in the market.
This new startup got free promotion in Pan India and there will be many people who will probably start using this product.
After this episode aired, many people shared their opinions on social media.
Saw it on SharkTank just now , I’ve ordered a pack of Kambuchas for nearly Rs 1000 for my mum. May you get the required funding and are able to scale up…
