Product Details

Entrepreneur Background

Gursaurabh Singh is Season 2's most self-taught industrial inventor a Haryana-based engineer without formal qualifications who spent 16 years working with aluminium sheet manufacturing and dye-mould making, developing the hands-on engineering intuition that allowed him to design and prototype India's most practically deployable bicycle electrification kit. His LinkedIn video of the DVECK in action caught the attention of Aman, Anupam, and Peyush before the Shark Tank episode meaning three of the five Sharks had already independently validated his invention's commercial interest before he walked onto the stage. The founder of DVECK showed his immense love for cycle and came up with the vision to make DVECK a household name so that it reaches his estimated customer base of 8 crore people.

The Product / Service

DVECK is India's most democratically deployable bicycle electrification solution a bolt-on electric motor, battery, and control kit that can be fitted to any existing conventional Indian bicycle in 20 minutes, converting it into a functional e-bike without requiring the purchase of an entirely new electric bicycle. At ₹10,000 to ₹15,000, it makes electric mobility accessible to the segment of the population that owns conventional bicycles but cannot afford purpose-built e-bikes (which typically cost ₹25,000 to ₹50,000). The Dhruv Vidyut Electric Conversion Kit can be fitted into any type of cycle and can be changed into an EV cycle. With the help of bolts, you can fit this kit into the cycle in 20 minutes.

The Ask

Amount Asked: 100 hours of mentoring and support from the Sharks Equity Offered: 0.5% Money asked: ₹0 (zero rupees) Condition attached: Dhruv Vidyut must raise ₹1 crore independently during the mentoring period

Pitch Presentation

Gursaurabh walked into Season 2 Episode 30 with the most conceptually unusual pitch in Shark Tank India history arriving not to ask for money but for time. The ask was specific: 100 hours of the Sharks' expertise, networks, and guidance in exchange for 0.5% equity. The LinkedIn video disclosure that three of the five Sharks (Peyush, Anupam, Aman) had independently discovered his product on LinkedIn and reached out before the pitch, but he had missed their messages was Season 2's most accidentally hilarious founder admission. Three of India's most successful entrepreneurs had tried to contact him about his invention before his Shark Tank appearance, and he had not seen their messages. When Aman asked if he was ready, Gursaurabh's response "I was born ready" delivered with Punjabi confidence and directness became one of Season 2's most quoted founder moments on social media.

Sharks' Reactions & Criticism

Vineeta Singh exited SUGAR Cosmetics' beauty brand expertise provides no specific strategic value for a bicycle electrification hardware company. She was also outside the product's domain expertise. Namita Thapar exited pharmaceutical distribution networks offer no commercial leverage for electric conversion kit manufacturing and distribution. Anupam Mittal was drawn to the founder's self-taught engineering capability and the social mission. He had already independently noticed the LinkedIn video. He joined the time-based deal, and additionally offered to help with investment support. Aman Gupta was the most enthusiastic remaining Shark having already seen the LinkedIn video and recognised the product's social mission (electrifying India's 58% bicycle-using daily commuters). His personal connection to the founder's story a self-taught engineer from Haryana without formal qualifications who had built something that attracted attention from three Sharks independently was genuine. Peyush Bansal was the most practically specific in his support offer. Peyush provided workspace and resources.

Negotiation & Offers

Gursaurabh Singh presented an interesting pitch as he did not ask for any money from the Sharks. Instead, he asked for 100 hours of participation from the Sharks for 0.5% equity. Sharks Aman, Anupam, and Peyush accepted what he asked for. Hence it concluded in a fair deal. 100 Hours for 0.5% Equity Condition: Dhruv Vidyut has to raise ₹1 crore. Alippo Courses The deal was structured exactly as the founder requested 100 hours of Shark time for 0.5% equity with the additional condition that Dhruv Vidyut must raise ₹1 crore independently. This condition made the Sharks' time contribution contingent on the founder demonstrating the commercial fundraising traction that the time investment was meant to support.

Final Verdict

Gursaurabh Singh accepted Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, and Peyush Bansal's joint commitment of 100 hours of mentoring, workspace, and resources for 0.5% equity with the condition to raise ₹1 crore. The three-Shark coalition provided Gursaurabh with what he specifically asked for: the expertise, networks, and guidance of three of India's most experienced technology consumer entrepreneurs without diluting himself with a conventional equity investment he had not sought.

Beyond Shark Tank

The company still has not produced any of Dhruv electric conversion kit in mass production. The product shown in the Shark Tank show and the social media post is prototype stage. Gursaurabh Singh, founder of the company Dhruv Vidyut, is going to launch mass production in the upcoming month of April. SharkTankSeason The company remains in the prototype-to-production transition the exact challenge that the 100 hours of Shark support was intended to help navigate. Peyush's workspace access and Anupam's investment support are the specific resources most directly applicable to bridging this gap. The Shark Tank visibility despite the no-money deal structure generated significant public interest in the product, with the "I was born ready" line and the unprecedented ask structure circulating widely on social media.
