Upon being asked by Sharks, Bhaskar shared his story pertaining to his business, which was really appreciated by the Sharks. He said that he used to wait tables at a restaurant in the state of Karnataka and also do other menial stuff at that restaurant when he was young. Then he went on to open a roadside make-shift shop that made Puranpoli after he had worked for over 8 years doing odd jobs.

The Sharks felt that at the scale of his business, Bhaskar did not need investment from the Sharks but he got good enough marketing from Shark Tank India and they appreciated his story and called it very inspiring.
