Ice cream with zero sugar, half the calories & abs delicious flavours !”
She added, “I wasn’t there the day he pitched, but I have been a big fan of Kiran Shah & Go Zero (a daily staple in my freezer) & so I reached out to my friend & ace investor Arjun Vaidya to help me with this sweet deal :).”
Namita further praised Kiran, “Kiran has domain expertise & the kind of drive, intellect & warmth that is so endearing & unique. Thx for coming to meet me in pune & getting me all this lovely ice cream (raspberry & mango duets are my abs favourite/ childhood nostalgia).”
On Shark Tank India Season 4, Kiran Shah declared his desire to create Go Zero the largest ice cream firm in the country. Anupam Mittal even referred to him as a "founder-market fit." Kiran valued his company at Rs 100 crore and requested Rs 1 crore in exchange for a 1% equity stake. Anupam Mittal, Vineeta Singh, and Aman Gupta all approached him with offers. Aman initially offered Rs 1 crore for a 2% ownership investment, but Kiran negotiated a 1.5 % stake for the same price, which Gupta agreed.
