A Partnership for Growth - Shark Tank India
The State Plate's journey to becoming a leading online marketplace for authentic Indian food products was marked by its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 1. The company presented a compelling pitch, highlighting its commitment to preserving India's culinary heritage and its potential to reach a wider audience. Initially seeking an investment of Rs 50 lakhs for a 5% equity stake, The State Plate impressed the sharks with its unique business model.
Investor Peyush Bansal recognized the company's potential and offered a unique deal: a combination of equity and debt financing. Bansal invested Rs 40 lakhs for a 3% equity stake and provided a debt of Rs 25 lakhs to support the company's growth. This strategic partnership provided The State Plate with the necessary resources to expand its product range and strengthen its position in the market.
