“Jugaadu Kamlesh” or Kamlesh Nanasaheb Ghumare, who appeared on the popular business reality show - Shark Tank India got huge fame and received an investment of Rs 10,00,000 for 40% equity from Peyush bansal, founder of Lenskart and a 0% interest loan of Rs 20,00,000.
Kamlesh's presentation, which he delivered with his nephew Naru on the show, won over the entire panel so much so that it was named 'The Pitch of the Season.’ Recently, Namita Thapar, Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals & one of the ‘sharks’ on the show, revealed that not investing in Kamlesh’s idea will remain one of her biggest regrets!
The show truly changed the life of this ‘Farmer turned Entrepreneur’ from Malegaon, Maharashtra.
Recently, he got awarded at Zee Hindustan’s RISE- Startup to Unicorn and even appeared in a ‘Josh Talk’ where he told how it took him 10 years to become an overnight success.
Latest, Lenskart founder, Peyush Bansal and Kamlesh were seen enjoying the Delhi winters at the former’s place. Peyush invited Jugaadu Kamlesh to his home for lunch and to discuss the future plans. Peyush, a 'shark' on the Indian version of Shark Tank, invested in Kamlesh's start-up proposal for a hand-drawn cart that may help farmers.
Lenskart founder says they had lunch at his place in Delhi and then talked about the future in a new video he released online, which Kamlesh republished on YouTube.
"We've chosen to improve the product's design, so we've hired a designer to work alongside us." Peyush added that they're working with a wheelchair designer since they believe it’s a 'similar product' to the cart that Kamlesh demonstrated on the show. The first season of Shark Tank India ended last week, and the panel will gather for a special show this weekend.
We at Krishi Jagran are rooting for Jugaadu Kamlesh and hope that he is successful in his mission of solving the ordeals faced by the farmers of our country.
