Shark Tank India S2: Sharks' rejection of Vineeta Singh's competitor's pitch leaves netizens furious

Shark Tank India Season 2: The first episode of Shark Tank India has premiered on television and it met with a mixed reception. The first season of the entrepreneur show met with favourable reviews. But the second season started on a rocky note. It all happened when make-up brand entrepreneurs participated in the show. 

The pitch by the brand Recode owners impressed the Sharks. But Peyush Bansal rejected them as they were giving straight competition to Vineeta Singh, and her cosmetic brand Sugar. Soon after the episode ended, several users stated that the Sharks are biased, and they are not guts to support budding entrepreneurs. A few of them even panned them for considering friendship above talent. 

A user wrote, "How could you say no to someone because of another shark in the same industry? Feel for RECODE." Another user wrote, "@SonyTV After Watching #SharkTankIndiaS2 Feeling very sad for #Recode These guys had very good Sale's but they didn't get any offer for Sharks. Wtf isko nahi mila matlab kisko milega. After watching this feels program is biased They are not Sharks like USA They are family." A user wrote, "Recode makeup deserved better than this. 15 cr FYI 21-22 with 6% PAT. You kidding me? Making stupid faces and laughing on founders? Horrible. I bet you this brand will beat Sugar cosmetics in 5 years. #SharkTankIndiaS2." 

Here are the reactions

I was disgusted by the way some #sharks behaved during the last pitch of the #SharkTankIndiaS2 Episode 01. I failed to understand why the #jugaad of these fantastic entrepreneurs was looked down upon.
We all know what we are missing in @sharktankindia on @SonyLIV .
