Shark Tank India 3 has been in buzz for its entertaining episode, be it innovative pitchers, Shark Wars or their major grilling, this season has had some absolutely interesting moments. Anupam Mittal has been on the angry side this season with pitchers. From slamming them for fake claims to schooling them for their behaviour, take a look at the times when Anupam lost his calm.

In the latest episode of Shark Tank India 3, Siddharth Madhav and Ha Tade pitch their petrol detector product, seeking Rs 50 Lakhs for 5% equity. Ha Tade, 24, left home to pursue entrepreneurship against his parents' wishes. The Sharks discover he hasn't contacted his parents in 2 years. Ha Tade's vague answers and fake apologies raise suspicions. Anupam lost his calm and said, 'Aapko dramebaazi karne ka bohot shauq.' Eventually, most sharks back out, urging Ha Tade to reconnect with his family and face reality.

In Shark Tank India 3, Vikas Suri of Popcorn and Company pitches gourmet snacks, facing scepticism over sales and business acumen. Namita finds value in the product's sprinkler kit but criticizes low numbers. Anupam questions Vikas's intentions and clarity. Anupam loses his cool when Vikas 'shh' Peyush, he said, “Bhai saab aap kis liye aye ho yaha. Aap the Vikas Suri ho, the Vikas Suri, who knows everything. 3 saal hogaye hum yaha baethe huye, aapko pata hai? Hum kya karte hai kuch idea hai aapko? Aapne aake Shark ko ekdum chup kara diya. Aapne kahan Shhh…”

Following rejections, Omkar Pimple presents Myracle.io, seeking Rs 1.2 crore for 3% equity. Sharks question his commitment to India, highlighting delusion. Anupam advises aligning with the Indian market. He loses his calm and says, “It’s all delusion. I had faced it this same. I identify with it. I used to study back there. I started my brand here. For 4-5 years I kept pacifying myself. I kept convincing myself that things were better there. You are fooling yourself. You should come here if you feel the market is here.”

Sudhir Devkar, an engineer from Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, discusses AI implementation in agritech, particularly Price Watcher for commodity price prediction, developed in-house. Anupam Mittal loses his calm on Sudhir's notion of predicting commodity prices, offering a hypothetical scenario. However, upon discovering Sudhir and Priya met through his matrimony site, Anupam softens. Teased by Peyush and Aman, Anupam's demeanour softens, with Aman jokingly granting him forgiveness for his previous scepticism. The Sharks share a jovial moment amidst laughter.

Pathik Patel, a marathon runner, pitches oat-based breakfast cereals with low added sugar, seeking Rs 1 crore for 3% equity. Despite strong sales and profitability, Sharks question his need for investment due to existing successful businesses. Aman opts out due to multiple business involvement. Vineeta and Aman declined due to concerns over investing in three businesses. Anupam highlights health claims' inconsistency, leading to Deepinder and his exit. Namita offers Rs 25 lakhs for 2.5% equity plus Rs 75 lakhs debt, conditional on machine ownership transfer, which Pathik rejects. All Sharks opt out, advising honesty in health claims. Anupam loses his calm, "All five sharks are out. My only advice to you is that health ke maamle mein jhoot bolna bandh karo."

Rohit Agarwal and Radhika Koolwal present their home furnishing brand with 1200+ SKUs, valuing it at Rs 180 crore due to monthly sales surpassing Rs 10 crore. Vineeta reminisces about gender dynamics in fundraising. Amit and Anupam inquire about unit economics and net profit, with Aman questioning their need for investment given profitability. Despite interest from Amit, Namita, and Vineeta opt out. Anupam got annoyed with their constant counters, "If you have come for marketing here then you are giving this 1.25% as a marketing expense. If you don't want royalty then each shark should get at least 5% equity." Rohit and Anupam further have a disagreement. Anupam then mentioned, "Aap bade manje hue khiladi ho, you are not looking for mentorship, you are looking for a marketing platform and you got it. I wish you the best, I am out."
