Shark Tank’s Ashneer regrets not investing in Sippline’s ‘wahiyat glass ka mask’
Ashneer Grover, Shark Tank India judge and BharatPe co-founder, has said he regrets not investing in Sippline Drinking Shields on the reality show. Ashneer Grover had rejected Rohit Warrier’s Sippline Drinking Shields, which they described as “glass ka mask.” Ashneer had, as a matter of fact, lost his cool after hearing the pitch and gave a response that became viral via social media and was turned into hilarious memes.
In a chat with Rohan Joshi and Sahil Shah, Ashneer was inquired as to whether he regrets rejecting the pitch on Shark Tank India. In response, he said, “For the loss of entertainment in my life, yes. Main soch raha hoon, yaar isko main agar galti se bolta main tere mein invest kar raha hoon, but tu paanch aur achi cheezein bana ke la, har roz mein has has ke pagal toh jata ki bhai ye toh live entertainment chal raha hai mera (I’m thinking if I had mistakenly told him that I’m investing in this product, but you have to create five more good products, I would have been rolling on the floor laughing that I’m being entertained live), but not otherwise.”
When asked about the memes that have been circulating on social media after interaction with the Sippline’s founder went viral, Ashneer said, “Mujhe to yahi laga ki ghane vele log hain yaar duniya mein. Koi edit kar raha hai kuch, koi snippet leke edit kar raha hai kuch. Main toh apne Shark Tank team ko bhi bolta rehta tha ki tumse zayada better editing toh ye karte hain. (I only thought that there are many free people in this world, some are editing, some are taking snippets, I keep telling my Shark Tank team that these people do better editing than you). There’s this one meme on this Deepika Padukone song right? Ultimate level editing and thought right.”
