₹50 lakhs for 5 per cent equity. While interacting with the Sharks, Ha Tade revealed that he left his home 2 years back to pursue his dream. He said, “I was studying in a reputed college and we were sure that I would get the job, however, I didn't want to do a job and have been trying to make my parents understand that I want to do something innovative, but they refused.

I had to leave my home." On this, Lenskart founder Peyush asked him if he had completed his education, to which he said that if he had completed his college, he would have ended up working in a company and his parents too would have pushed him to do so. When Shark Vineeta asked Tada about his parents, he gave a snub answer saying, “My parents are ‘just farmers’, the last time I remember." He was asked if they knew if he was in Dehradun and did he contact them in the last two years, Tada said, “Just one time, when I left my house. As they were worried, I called them and asked for 3 years, I'll try everything I can and will return if I am not able to.

They said okay." After that, Ritesh asked Ha Tade to share a message for his parents through this show, to which Tade thanked them and added that, having been away from them, he now understands the value of parenting. Even still, Tada expressed regret for leaving his family but promised to show his worth. Sharks felt his apology was fake.

Aman called him “Bachkana" and said ‘I'm out.’ Vineeta tried to make him understand that many children at the age of 22-23 don't have gratitude towards their parents. She also added that he has ego issues and told him not to issue any fake apology. Ha Tada later gave him the presentation of the product and was also praised for his innovative idea.
