Watt Technovations

Nihaal Singh Adarsh is Season 1's most startlingly young founder — a 19-year-old electronics engineering student at KJ Somaiya College in Mumbai who invented a ventilation system for PPE kits because his mother, Dr. Poonam Kaur Adarsh, came home drenched in sweat every day after treating patients in full PPE during the COVID-19 pandemic, secured a ₹10 lakh NIDHI Prayas grant from the Central Government's Department of Science and Technology, received institutional support from Somaiya Vidyavihar University, Dassault Systèmes, DST, MSInS, and BIRAC, walked into Shark Tank India's studio wearing a full PPE kit, and asked for ₹101. The founder of Watt Technovations is Nihaal Singh Adarsh, who created the Cov-Tech Ventilation System at the age of 19. He developed this product in response to his mother's struggles with discomfort while using PPE, and it has gained significant popularity in the market today. Nihaal is currently pursuing his engineering studies at KJ Somaiya College.

Watt Technovations' flagship product is the Cov-Tech Ventilation System — a compact, plug-and-play fan device weighing 750 grams that attaches to the back of any PPE kit, circulates cool fresh air inside the protective suit, reduces internal temperature, eliminates the excessive sweating and skin irritation caused by extended PPE use, and operates across multiple professional categories (healthcare, chemical industry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, automotive painting) — addressing the pervasive occupational health problem of PPE-induced heat stress without requiring any modification to the PPE kit itself.

Watt Technovations' pitch was the second of Episode 27 — arriving after Theka Coffee's unanimous Shark product praise and no-deal with something that immediately shifted the episode's emotional register: a 19-year-old engineering student walking into the Tank wearing a full PPE kit, visibly sweating, asking for ₹101. Nihaal came on Shark Tank wearing a PPE kit. He revealed that he had worn it for just an hour but when he removed it, he was drenched in sweat. He portrayed the problems of many workers. The pitch made the problem physically present in the room in a way that no chart or statistic could match. The PPE kit entrance said everything the verbal pitch needed to say before a single word was spoken: this is what it feels like, and this is why I built something to fix it.

Vineeta Singh was the most emotionally engaged but commercially sceptical. Vineeta found this business complicated and not scalable but she also had faith in Nihaal and was even ready to adopt him. Anupam Mittal gave the most directional advice. Anupam thought he shouldn't continue pursuing the PPE fan business. Peyush Bansal offered his personal contact details without investing in the current product. Namita Thapar and Anupam Mittal anchored the investment offer. The four Sharks who invested — Namita, Anupam, Peyush, and Ghazal — each invested ₹25.25 (their share of ₹101 for 4% equity) not for financial return but as a symbolic act of mentorship blessing.

Anupam Mittal and Namita Thapar jointly agreed to invest. They offered him ₹101 for 4% equity. Nihaal was happy with their offer but wanted to include Peyush Bansal in the deal as well. Peyush then joined the deal. Ghazal also joined.

Deal Secured: YES — ON-AIR (Four-Shark deal at ₹101 for 4%)
