They agreed to give the 50 lakhs rupees in exchange for 5% of the company, which is what the owners wanted. Aman is experienced in an online direct-to-consumer (D2C) business, so he offered to join the deal because he thought his experience could help the startup grow. Piyush, another investor, saw that Aman and Peyush were hardworking, capable, and humble, so he also decided to invest more money in the startup.

he Healthy Binge business has made a total of 56 lakhs rupees in sales since it started. Last month, they made sales worth 11 lakhs rupees. In August 2022, they made sales of 6 lakhs; in September 2022, sales were 7.5 lakhs, and in October 2022, they made 11 lakhs in sales. They earn their money both offline and online, with 40% coming from offline sales and 60% from online sales. However, even though they are making sales, their expenses are currently more than their income, so they are not making a profit. When they sell a product for 40 rupees, it costs them 12 rupees to make the product, and they pay 14 rupees to the wholesalers. This means they make a profit of 14 rupees on each sale. They also spend 10% of their income on marketing each month. They invested one crore rupees to build their factory. Two people, Karan and Pranav, own most of the business. Karan has 36% of the business, Pranav has 46%, and 16% is owned by their friends and family. Lastly, in April 2022, they received 1.13 crore rupees from friends and family as part of a capital round, which means their business was valued at 7.5 crores at that time.
