MONEY LESSONS YOU CAN LEARN FROM SHARK TANK INDIA || HINDI ||

Shark Tank India has grabbed the eyeballs across age groups. The series makers wanted to make entrepreneurship and start-ups a dinner table conversation in a regular Indian household. And, what better than catching the premium time slot on Indian television.
Today we will try to enlist financial lessons that can be learned from the show.
A Quick Recap of the Show Format
New entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to owners of established start-ups who decide to invest or not invest in them after assessing the company. Shark Tank India judges take a percentage of the equity/stake in return for their investment and sometimes decide to fund in the form of a loan partly.
Learnings for Retail Investors
Learning 1: Calculate Your Risk
Notice that every time a Shark Tank India judge listens to a pitch and decides to invest, they determine the equity accordingly. Then, they either support at the same equity level or ask for more.
Simply put, equity means shares. Buying equity means buying a stake in someone’s company. When the sharks invest in a company, they are essentially taking a risk that the company/startup will grow, and so will their invested money. They ask for a stake in the company to protect their capital per their risk level. If they see more risk to their invested capital, they often revise the offer and ask for more equity/stake. They calculate their risk potential and find a way to protect their capital.
For example: say the pitcher asks for Rs 50 lakhs in exchange for 5% equity. But, if the sharks see more risk in the start-up, they may ask for more than 5% equity in the business for an investment of Rs 50 lakh from their end.
If you think your risk potential is low, you may invest lower in high-risk assets. Investing according to your risk potential is necessary.
Learning 2: Risk Levels are not the Same for Everyone.
If you follow the show, you may notice that not all sharks agree to a similar equity level. For example, a shark may back out of an offer when a higher equity/stake is not offered to them because they may not want to compromise on their risk with a lower stake. Another shark might take the same offer at a lower equity level.
Their risk levels are different.
The vital lesson to be learned is that copying a friend’s investment in a high-risk company might land you in trouble. Maybe your friend has a lot more money saved up for an emergency when compared to you. Every investor and every shark is different!
Learning 3: Thinking Long
You should have sufficient capital to secure your future, specifically for retail investors. The planning and the assets might differ from investor to investor. How much you invest in your long-term plan might be different. Just like, on the show, start-ups and businesses are often grilled on the long-term viability of their start-up, and retail investors need to have a long-term plan in place.
Learnings for Start-up Owners
Learning 1: Know Your Business
Know your business and know it well. This comes in bits and pieces. Take examples from Shark Tank India. A person investing their hard-earned money will ask the most pertinent questions.
How much is your business worth today, and how much can it be worth tomorrow? Are you planning to scale it, and how? Do you have other investors? Are you planning to expand with newer products? If you are a B2B firm, are you planning to scale it to B2C or D2C or vice versa? And many such questions.
Again, knowing if you want to scale is not the end. First, you must assess your product has potential in the market you want to scale. Understanding your product’s potential and usage in the market will help you plan your future better.
Learning 2: Know Your Numbers
This is an offshoot from the first learning. You may constantly be updated with how much are your business’ earnings. If the numbers are not growing, what are the reasons? What is the margin you are getting out of it? Which channel is your startup earning, cost analysis, cash flow, and so on?
Learning 3: Think Long
Time and again, the sharks have also quizzed the pitchers about the long-term viability of their business. Time waits for none. Preferences change over time, and the offered product or service might get outdated.
Ask yourself, is your business very akin to the current times? Do you plan to adjust to future changes if your product only suits the present market? Getting a proper plan in business may not always be possible but being prepared for unforeseen circumstances is essential.
