50 lakh for a 2 percent stake in his company.The brand logo confused BoAt CMO Aman Gupta, who thought the logo looked like a hemp leaf.

During his speech, Khatri said that Havinta sells various hair care products. He then claimed that he built his business with just ₹ 22,000 in credit card debt and that he had sales worth ₹ 5 crore in the previous financial year.

Just when everything seemed to be working for the pitcher, Mittal questioned his qualifications and the science behind his product.

Needless to say, the pitch left netizens in awe of Mittal as they supported him for calling the brand a “cheat”.

“Indians would buy anything for natural, ayurvedic and all that, I don’t doubt his sales or numbers but Anupam’s reaction was spot on, he should have some support behind his claim,” said another user.

“He was not the real founder of havintha, I think it was just a marketing gimmick used by the founders of havintha to promote there product worldwide (as it was a D2C product),” a third user noted.

“Ayurveda is a scam most of its products, it’s not science, it’s pseudoscience, 90% of it doesn’t work, 10% is true, but if you live long enough, you can at least know some useful local herbs and such that are given. Stay away from this nonsense,” commented a fourth user.

At the time of the pitch, Snapdeal co-founder Kunal Bahl said he believed in Khatri and what he was doing.Although he declined to invest in the business, Bahl asked Bharat to join him as he turned Havinta into a private limited company.

After the founder left, Mittal and Bahl discussed the product and the entrepreneur.
