Jugaadu Kamlesh From Shark Tank India Shows His Upgraded Product Model To Investor Peyush Bansal

The first season of Shark Tank India showcased some memorable contestants whose dreams managed to strike a chord with viewers. One of the favourites among them was definitely Kamlesh Nanasaheb Ghumare. His zeal and passion definitely left a mark on the sharks. Everyone who has watched Shark Tank India Season 1 must definitely remember the pitch by entrepreneurs who fondly came to be known as Jugaadu Kamlesh. Their pitch got labeled as the ‘pitch of the season’ in the first season.

Peyush Bansal, the CEO of the famous eyewear brand Lenskart, had invested in Kamlesh’s product last season. Kamlesh had pitched his own invention, a multi-functional cart, that would immensely help farmers in sowing, ploughing, and watering their fields. The cart really left an impression on Peyush and he almost instantly invested Rs 10 lakh for  40% equity and also provided him with an interest-free loan of Rs 20 lakhs.

Where is Jugaadu Kamlesh now?

The YouTube channel of Lenskart recently has provided us with an update on Jugaadu Kamlesh. In that video, Kamlesh showed the newest version of his cart which is named Bharat K2 with his trusted companion Naru. Kamlesh shared that he has totally transformed the product from the first time he showcased it on Shark Tank. This is the third version of his product and he also shared a detailed description of the kind of improvements he had made to the product.

He said,

“We did demos with the farmers on the fields and improved on the model”

Namita Thapar also joined Peyush to see the product and she immensely praised the new implementations. Peyush had to mention that she would be shocked to know about Kamlesh’s first-year return target.

Kamlesh said,

“Rs 5 crore”

Namita was amazed and praised his efforts by saying,

“Good job, well done”

As promised in the first season, the team of Lenskart got their designers on board and helped Kamlesh in getting the final product ready.

Kamlesh proudly said,

“Jo kaam ek din hota tha voh kaam ab ek ghante mein hoga”

In March 2022, Bansal shared an update on Kamlesh’s cart and shared their biggest concerns at the time

He said,

“Biggest concerns are: weight of Cart, movement on different uneven terrains and width of cart (as alley size is small in certain crops). Next steps: Find creative solutions to these problems, do design optimisations and go back and test again”

He shared his concerns on Instagram and it looks like they have solved a lot of those problems.
