Radhika Gupta shares how she was famous before appearing on Shark Tank India 3: ‘I was doing public speaking’
In a recent interaction, Shark Tank India 3’s Radhika Gupta revealed how she was in the public eye before even joining the show as a judge. She also talked about her entrepreneurial venture.
Shark Tank India has given fame not only to the pitchers but also to the investors who appear as sharks on the show. Most of the judges who are present on the panel of the business-based reality program have managed to garner a genuine fan following. However, Radhika Gupta, who joined the third season of the show as a shark, differs from this point of view. She feels that she was popular even before gracing Shark Tank India 3.
Radhika Gupta on why she was famous before Shark Tank India 3
During a conversation with Mashable India, Radhika Gupta was questioned if she feels the pressure to be the front face and tell the stories as she has become a part of Shark Tank India. To this, the wall-street whiz said that her case is a little different.
Radhika stated, “Well before Shark Tank came, at least 2018-19, I was a reasonably visible CEO. I was doing public speaking, I was doing videos, I was doing social media writing. So, my exposure to the public, to fame, whatever you want to call it, was well before Shark Tank. In fact, that’s how Shark Tank found me.”
Furthermore, the businesswoman disclosed that her first venture was a restaurant named Mirch Madness, which she opened during her second year of college in the US. In that restaurant, she would sell roti, chawal, sabzi, dal, and dahi for USD 5 and used to charge a dollar extra for non-veg items.
"Our only competition was college pizza, and our food was better than pizza. I used to make the rotis myself; every night, after completing my studies, I would make at least 100 to 200 rotis,” added the shark.
