Judges in Shark Tank India refuse to invest in a makeup brand that turned out to be a competitor of Sugar Cosmetics.
Shark Tank India season two has begun, and judges are already coming across some of the great pitches. However, one of the pitches recently turned out to be from a competitor of Sugar Cosmetics, founded by Vineeta Singh.
Promos show that Singh said she never heard of the brand, whereas its founders, Rahul Sachdeva and Dheeraj Bansal claimed that Sugar followed them on Instagram. Videos show that their claim was true but Singh’s brand no longer follows them.
In a video, we also saw Namita Thapar and other sharks refusing to invest in Recode because it was their friend’s competitor.
Before the whole story comes out, we thought to do a comparison between Sugar Cosmetics and Recode.
