Shark Tank India 5 is set to entertain audiences with its interesting pinch. After four successful seasons, the show has added some new faces along with the old sharks. Let's take a look at one of them.
Shark Tank India 5 has been launched. After four successful seasons, this time the show has added some new faces along with the old sharks. One of these names is that of JetSetGo founder Kanika Tekriwal, who is appearing as a shark for the first time this season. It was not easy for Kanika to reach this stage at such a young age.
Kanika Tekriwal faced huge challenges at a very young age. He not only built his business but also fought a serious disease like cancer. JetSetGo is India's first private jet and helicopter charter service provider. With this achievement, Kanika made it to the Hurun list of India's youngest self-made women entrepreneurs.
In a recent interview with Screen, Kanika shared her experience of Shark Tank India 5. She said that on the first day of the show, she didn't make any special strategy and instead listened to her heart. She described her first pitch as the worst, but added that the other sharks advised her to trust herself rather than be afraid.
Kanika also admitted that she came to the show unprepared, but that's what became her strength. Just like she took risks in his business, she trusted her experience and instincts in the show as well. According to her, many times a decision taken without a plan can also prove to be right.
Stepping into a niche and limited market at a young age was not easy. When Kanika started her idea, people questioned her, and some investors even discussed her marriage. But her dream, which started with an initial investment of just Rs 5,600, has become a business of hundreds of crores today.
At the age of 22, Kanika was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It was the biggest test of her life, but it was this experience that made her stronger. It was during the treatment that she planned her future dreams and decided to use life for bigger dreams.
Today JetSetGo has served more than 1 lakh passengers, operated more than 6,000 flights and has many private jets and helicopters. Kanika Tekriwal's net worth is estimated to be around Rs 420 crore. She is not only a successful businesswoman today, but also an inspiration for millions of youth.
