What do you get when you combine temple flowers, natural ingredients, and a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility? The answer is Nirmalaya, a company with 90% Women employed, that has been making fragrant sticks, and Hawan cups based on cow dung, Essential oils, Attars, Organic Gulal, and many other products for many years.
And recently, Nirmalaya had the opportunity to pitch their business on Shark Tank, one of the most popular shows on television. Spoiler alert: they nailed it.
From the moment Nirmalaya's founders, Mr. Bharat Bansal, Surbhi Bansal, and Rajeev Bansal stepped onto the set, it was clear that they were passionate about their company and its mission.
They explained that Nirmalaya's fragrant sticks are made using only natural ingredients, including temple flowers and essential oils. They're designed to create a sense of calm and relaxation, and they're perfect for people who want to bring a piece of the temple into their homes.
The Sharks were immediately intrigued. They loved the idea of using temple flowers to create fragrances, and they were impressed by Nirmalaya's commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. They also saw the potential for the product to be a hit with co
nsumers who are looking for natural alternatives to traditional air fresheners and candles.
But Nirmalaya didn't just win over the Sharks with their products. They also impressed them with their business acumen. Mr. Bharat Bansal showed an impressive knowledge of the market and a clear vision for the future of the company. He was able to answer every question the Sharks threw at him with confidence and grace.
Nirmalaya did not end up securing a deal with the Sharks, but their appearance on Shark Tank was still a major milestone for the company. But even more than that, their appearance on Shark Tank has helped to raise awareness of their brand and products. It has given them the opportunity to connect with new customers and partners, and it has shown the world that natural, sustainable, and socially responsible products can be both effective and profitable.

But we can also learn that success doesn't come overnight. Nirmalaya has been making fragrant sticks for over 5 years, and it's that experience and expertise that helped them win over the Sharks.
