Shark Tank India 5: Judges Slam Ayurvedic Brand for 'Ugly Ads' and No Clinical Trials

• Entrepreneurs Tanishk Pandey, Astha Jain, and Pawanjot Kaur pitched their Ayurvedic brands Ayuvya and ImFresh on Shark Tank India 5.
• They sought Rs 1 crore for 0.5% equity, valuing their combined businesses at Rs 200 crore.
• Judges raised concerns about slowing growth, lack of customer retention data, and the company's 'ugly ads' strategy.
• A major red flag was the absence of clinical trials for their Ayurvedic products, despite claims of traditional formulation.
• The founders left without an offer, as judges emphasized the need for trust, better customer service, and brand development.

Why It Matters: Shark Tank India judges rejected an Ayurvedic brand due to 'ugly ads', no clinical trials, and business discrepancies.
