Bhaskar started his career by cleaning dishes and tables at restaurants. He did this for 4 to 5 years. Then he started teaching dance. Followed by small businesses like pan shop. Later he got the opportunity to work on a cooking show, where he earned some fame. Over there his mentor gave him the advice to improve the quality of his Puranpoli, do branding and maintain hygiene. Vittal Shetty manages marketing across the Maharashtra entity. Saurabh Chaudhary manages operations. All three partners hold equal 33.33% equity in the Maharashtra entity. The Karnataka business (Bhaskar's Mane Holige) is separately owned by Bhaskar KR and was not part of the Shark Tank pitch.
