Shark Tank India Judge Mohit Yadav Turned Failures Into A Rs 2,955 Crore Success

• Mohit Yadav, a judge on Shark Tank India Season 5, co-founded The Minimalist, now valued at Rs 2,955 crore.
• Before Minimalist, Mohit worked at Deloitte and Credit Suisse, then launched two unsuccessful startups: Scopial Fashion (later Mangostreet) and Free Will.
• He and his brother Rahul Yadav started Scopial Fashion in 2008, which failed despite family investment and was later sold.
• Learnings from Free Will, a custom haircare product venture, helped them identify a gap in the skincare market.
• Mohit mortgaged his house for a Rs 1 crore loan to fund The Minimalist, which quickly achieved Rs 100 crore revenue and was acquired by Hindustan Unilever.
