The young minds of Srinagar scored big in the popular show ‘Shark Tank’. The spirit of the entrepreneurial duo made waves across the country after their unique pitch in the reality show. Srinagar-based ‘Trampoo Sports’ landed a lucrative deal worth Rs 30 lakh with two prominent investors.
College students pursuing BBA, Hamad and Saad Tramboo made their innovative pitch of Kashmir Willow bats and sought investment for a three percent equity stake from the sharks. It is worth noting that the bats are made of English and Kashmir willow, and their repertoire with the local supplies is their sure shot way to success in the Indian market.
“We offer world-class Kashmir willow bats, with the Kashmir Willow Act restricting the export of raw material, we’re poised for success in the domestic market. Are you ready to hit a six with us?” Saad Tramboo asked on the show.
