Ganesh shared his emotions about revisiting Shark Tank India

He wrote, “I was on the sets of @SharkTankIndia again recently, shooting for the "Beyond the Tank" segment of the show that aired yesterday. It was bittersweet, recalling the show last year and the emotions on display, and what has happened since the episode aired. What my family went through during the tough times, how we kept it together, waiting for a better day. How the day came, and we scrambled to fulfill the flood of orders. How @Flatheads_in found a new life and a new home within the @StychedIndia  Collective. How I took a break, introspecting, wiping the slate clean, and thinking about the future afresh. Today, I'm on a new entrepreneurial journey with Aurm, working with lifelong friends, enjoying the ride again, and hopefully creating something that our customers will love and cherish. As a matter of fact, I'm just rushing out to meet potential customers after I post this. And this is where I find my happy place! As Anupam quipped - Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur!”
