Shark Tank India Season 4, premiering on January 6, 2025, has already stirred excitement with a promotional clip featuring the popular digital creator Gaurav Taneja, famously known as Flying Beast. Taneja, joined by co-founder Raj Gupta, made an intriguing pitch for their sports nutrition brand, Beastlife, which offers products like supplements, protein powders, and muscle gainers.
During the pitch, Vineeta Singh, CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics, posed a striking question: “You can earn up to Rs 1 crore in an hour; why are you here on the show?” Taneja’s response, paired with his engaging personality and massive online following of 3.6 million Instagram followers and 9.27 million YouTube subscribers, has left audiences speculating about his intentions. Was this a bid to secure funding or a clever move to harness the show’s national television platform for marketing?
Taneja didn’t shy away from showcasing his influencer roots. At one point, he paused mid-pitch to record a reel, urging viewers to “like, share, and comment.” His confident demeanor and innovative approach have sparked curiosity among fans and critics alike.
Interestingly, ex-shark Ghazal Alagh and her husband, Varun Alagh, have already backed Beastlife with funding, indicating strong belief in the brand’s vision. With this support, Taneja’s appearance on the show raises questions about whether he’s looking to expand further or strategically leveraging the spotlight.
Season 4 of Shark Tank India promises to be bigger, with new sharks like Kunal Bahl (Unicommerce’s promoter), Varun Dua (ACKO’s founder and CEO), and Viraj Bahl (creator of Veeba/VRB Consumer Products). The combination of these dynamic investors and compelling pitches like Beastlife’s ensures this season will be a must-watch.
The promotional clip has undoubtedly achieved its goal: building intrigue. Whether Taneja secures additional funding or boosts Beastlife’s market presence, one thing is clear—he knows how to capture attention and keep his audience talking.
