Ritesh Agarwal Recalls the Unexpected Restroom Pitch

Narrating the incident, the Shark Tank India judge recalled, "I was traveling abroad on a flight, and sometimes there’s a long queue outside the washroom. I was also standing in line. Now, someone came and started talking to me about their business pitch while waiting in line. Out of respect, you listen to them. After finishing a conversation with one person, I was about to go inside, but then another person came up and started pitching their idea. So finally, I had to request them, ‘Sir, look, I really need to go urgently. Let me just use the washroom first, and then I’ll properly listen to your business idea.’"

Ritesh Agarwal further added, "But I genuinely believe it’s a great honor and a matter of immense gratitude that people think I can help with their business. However, I personally feel that there is a lot of other excellent talent out there. Sometimes, pitches come in the most unique situations."
