A few users pointed out that Namita Thapar works in a company built by her dad. One user asked her, “What is your role in emcure pharma? What made you agree to be a shark? You didn't build your own business so how do you give advice to others building their OWN business?” To this, the Shark Tank India 3 judge replied, "Scaling a family business requires an entrepreneurial mindset too.”
