Neomotion Shark Tank India Negotiations

Anupam initially offers ₹50 lakh in exchange for 4% ownership of the company, with the remaining amount as a debt. Namita asks to join Anupam’s deal, and he agrees. Then, Peyush offers ₹1 crore for 5% of the company, but he wants a 5% royalty of profits until he recovers his ₹1 crore, which he plans to use for donating free bikes to people in need. Anupam matches Peyush’s offer with no conditions.

Amit also wants to invest but insists on running the company at only 5% ownership. The entrepreneurs reject this as they want to run the company profitably and sustainably, so Amit exits the deal. Aman also leaves, saying the company already has good offers. The founders then decide not to dilute more than 1% of the company, so Namita exits the deal. Anupam changes his offer to ₹1 lakh for 1% ownership and ₹99 lakh as debt at a 15% interest rate. Peyush then offers ₹1 crore for 2.5% ownership, but the founders refuse, and Anupam leaves the deal.

Later, Peyush offers ₹1 crore for 1% of the company, but with the condition that he wants the ₹1 crore back, which he plans to donate afterward. The company accepts this offer, and they agree on the terms.

Neomotion after Shark Tank India

Neomotion had a deal with Peyush Bansal but for some unknown reasons, the deal did not go through after initially seeming promising. However, despite this setback, the company is doing well and growing. They have expanded their production and now sell their products on platforms like Amazon. Additionally,  Neomotion, is actively involved in pushing the limits in sports, working with athletes in sports like Cricket and shooting.
