The new episode of 바카라˜Shark Tank India바카라™ season 3 witnessed a unique pitch by 바카라˜Golden Feathers바카라™, which create textile products from up-cycled chicken waste.

The team of 바카라˜Golden Feathers바카라™, Radhesh Agrahari, Muskan Sainik and Abhishek Verma, who hail from Jaipur, innovated a new natural fibre by upcycling chicken butchery waste.

During the pitch, Muskan said: 바카라œFor every one kg of chicken, 650 grams is edible meat, while 350 grams is butchery chicken waste. 바카라˜Golden Feathers바카라™ trains ragpickers to collect waste. The waste is processed through 27 natural sanitation processes and then segregated. 93 per cent of the waste is converted to fertilisers and the feathers are separated from this waste.바카라

The products are handmade printing and writing papers, quilts, jackets, shawls and mufflers. Muskan said: 바카라œA 65-gram muffler reduces carbon footprints by nine kg, and each tribal woman artisan receives three days of employment. The process patent has been granted and published.바카라 They asked for Rs 5 crore for 5 per cent equity.

Amit Jain (CEO and co-founder of CarDekho Group) asked: 바카라œThis sounds like a new invention. You've been granted a patent. Is this the first to be done globally? What are your backgrounds? How did you even discover this?바카라

Radhesh said: 바카라œSir, all three of us have a background in design. When I was working at the Indian Institute Of Crafts and Design, as a food lover, l decided to work on food waste. So, I used chicken waste. It wasn't my motive to invent the sixth natural fibre.바카라

Aman Gupta (co-founder and CMO of boAt) asked: 바카라œAre you claiming that this is meant for meat eaters?바카라 To this, Radhesh replied: 바카라œSir, you can say that those who use leather can use feathers.바카라 Anupam Mittal (founder and CEO of Shaadi.com) added: 바카라œThe pashmina shawl is made from sheep's wool.바카라

However, the sharks were not impressed with 바카라˜Golden Feathers바카라™, and made no deal with the brand. Amit suggested them to focus on increasing sales by selling the fiber to shawl manufacturers and others.

Namita Thapar (Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals LTD), said: 바카라œI am not liking your thinking. And that is why I don't wish to be a part of your business. But I hope it's a revolutionary product that makes India proud. So, wish you the best.바카라 Aman Gupta shared: 바카라œI still cannot digest Rs 5 crore! Why do you need Rs 5 crore? Secondly, I don't believe in your innovation. I can't invest in what I don't believe in. I cannot give you 5 crore. Unfortunately, I am out.바카라

Ritesh Agarwal (founder and CEO of OYO Rooms) added: 바카라œI think you should hire a good business executive who belongs to this industry and has sold such products. Because you don't have that, I am out.바카라

바카라œBut I definitely want to give you something. I want to donate Rs 10 lakh to the NGO you are associated with to help them expand and create more job opportunities. But I cannot be a part of this deal,바카라 he concluded. 바카라˜Shark Tank India 3바카라™ streams on SonyLIV.
