WeSTOCK, the health monitoring AI by the company Brainwired, has raised INR 60 lakhs for the equity of 10% from Shark Tank India. Sharks Ashneer, Namita, Aman and Peyush jointly invested in it.
The original ask by the pitchers was INR 50 lakhs for the equity of 5%. Ashneer, Aman, and Namita reject the offer of 50 lakh rupees for a 9% stake in the company. Peyush stated that he would join the other three sharks if they so desired. If not, he can come on his own and make the same offer. Pitchers counter offered 75 lakhs in exchange for a 10% stake in the company, and they wanted four sharks to join them. The four sharks have made a joint counter offer of 60 lakhs for a 10% stake in the company. Then all four sharks finally made the deal of 60 lakhs for the equity of 10%.
