Shark Tank India Panel Questions Viability of Pocket Ashtray Business Pitch

In Shark Tank India Season 5, entrepreneur Nihal Raheja pitched his pocket ashtray brand, Stubb, seeking Rs 25 lakh for 5% equity. Inspired by Japan's waste-carrying practice, he aims to promote cleanliness in India. However, the panel, including Namita Thapar, expressed doubts about the business's viability, citing low public sensibility towards littering and the product's Rs 349 price. Thapar advised shutting the business, a view echoed by other sharks who questioned its market potential.
