Peyush Bansal, the co-founder, and CEO of Lenskart.com, took the other six reviewers and the viewers back to 2010 to retell the presentation he delivered to financiers for his ophthalmic retail network 12 years ago.

Peyush Bansal is among the panelist on Shark Tank India and the founder of Lenskart. Because of his rationale investment opportunities and promotion of brilliant participants, he has become one of the show’s most popular judges.

Here are a few moments from the show which proved him to be the most different among all the sharks:

1. He kept on motivating Watt Technovation’s Founder, Nihaal Singh Adarsh,

He told them how he had tried multiple things before discovering his ‘one true calling’ via Lenskart. Peyush also said he couldn’t accept a part in Nihal’s business, but provided him his mobile contact so Nihal could call for assistance.

Peyush also assured Nihal that if he innovates something which he likes, he will be the first one to invest in it.

When Sharad Ashani and his son presented the nobel idea of Gold Life anti-suicide rods, Peyush won everyone’s heart by saying, “paisa toh bahot kama liya hai ab isey kisi acchi jagah laga lete hai.”

4. When he financed Jugadu Kamlesh’s business and won the heart of all spectators

This was one of Shark Tank India’s most poignant moments. Peyush Bansal financed Jugadu Kamlesh’s business and earned the hearts of all onlookers.

This is how the conversation between the two went:

Ghazal Alagh: Aapne loan lene ki koshish kyu nahi ki kabhi?

Jugadu Kamlesh: Dega kaun?

If this didn’t make you go all gooey and ‘aww!’ I don’t know what will.

5. pointed out the similarities between him and Siddharth Gupta and invested in Sid07 Designs

Being an owner of a million dollars worth of business, Peyush is perhaps one of the most down-to-earth judge in Shark Tank India.

When people pitch their ideas, instead of demotivating them with harsh words he rather drew parallels between himself and Siddharth Gupta and financed in Sid07 Designs because he believed in Siddharth.

6. Peyush wanted to bring in a change and something that make sense

One of his moto that he keeps following is creating meaning and the rest of the things will follow it automatically.
