Shark Tank India: Aman–Anupam Face-Off Steals Spotlight

Shark Tank India 5 turns dramatic as rival Sharks clash during Twin and Emomee pitches

January 25, 2026: The latest episode of Shark Tank India 5 delivered high-voltage drama as the ongoing rivalry between Aman Gupta and Anupam Mittal intensified during the pitch of Twin, an AI-powered virtual try-on app. Founded by Gurugram-based entrepreneur Aseem Khanduja, the app enables users to create digital avatars and experiment with outfits from their own wardrobes. Seeking ₹60 lakh for 1% equity, Aseem impressed the Sharks with his tech background and early traction, prompting immediate interest from Aman, who praised the founder’s energy and vision.

The negotiations quickly turned competitive when Anupam and Kanika Tekriwal entered with counter-offers, pushing the valuation debate further. As bids climbed to ₹80 lakh for 2% equity, tensions flared, with Aman taking a playful dig at Anupam’s much-touted database, drawing laughter and visible discomfort. In the end, Aseem chose Aman’s offer, leaving Anupam disappointed as the rivalry played out once again in full view.

The friction didn’t end there. During the pitch of Emomee, an educational toy brand, another heated exchange erupted between the two Sharks, with sharp remarks about past investments and professional credibility. Despite attempts by Namita Thapar to cool things down, Aman refused a joint deal and eventually closed the investment with Namita at ₹2 crore for 4% equity. As the season progresses, Shark Tank India 5 continues to blend sharp business decisions with fiery on-screen confrontations, keeping viewers hooked beyond the pitches alone.
