Shaadi.com co-founder Anupam Mittal has been one of the favourite judges and investors in the first season of Shark Tank India. The businessman gained immense popularity for his honesty, unique style, and chivalrous attitude on the show. But in the ongoing second season, netizens feel he is being cornered by other sharks. Even cracking a deal is getting harder for him this season.

In the last episode, Anupam got impressed with the pitchers who introduced their brand of hiring trained house help, cooks, babysitters, etc. He gave them the dream deal of Rs 80 lakhs for 2 percent equity which they asked for. Later, Namita Thapar, Aman Gupta and Peyush Bansal gave them a counteroffer of Rs 80 lakh for 3 percent. After which pitchers offered all four sharks Anupam, Peyush, Aman, and Namita to come onboard with Rs 2 crore for 5 percent. However, Anupam opted out of the joint offer and dropped the deal. And the founders finally signed Rs 1 crore for a 3 percent equity deal with Aman, Namita, and Peyush.
