Aquapeya: The Bold Beverage Brand That Quenched a Shark Tank Deal 💧🔥 In a space dominated by giants like Bisleri and Kinley, Aquapeya dared to challenge the status quo. Founded by brothers Tushar and Ravi Mundada, this Sangli-based startup brought a fresh twist to bottled drinks—with customizable flavors, nutrient retention tech, and a sharp pricing edge. 📢 The Shark Tank Pitch: ✅ Ask: ₹70 Lakhs for 2% ✅ Final Deal: ₹70 Lakhs for 3% + 1% royalty until payback ✅ Sharks: Namita Thapar & Ritesh Agarwal 💡 Why the Sharks Bit: ✔️ Disruptive packaging & pricing in a mass market ✔️ Strong EBITDA margin (16%) with ₹9 Cr revenue ✔️ Scalable production with flavor flexibility Despite fierce competition and later legal drama with Bisleri, the founders stayed poised. Their confidence, numbers, and tech-driven angle won over two power sharks, and Aquapeya’s journey from regional startup to national player began. 🚀 #aquapeya #sharktankindia #startupindia #entrepreneurship #beveragetech #riteshagarwal #namitathapar #founderstory #businessideas #scalingstartups @Shark Tank
