During an impressive pitch on Shark Tank India, Abbas Gabajiwala sought ₹80 lakhs for 2% equity in Blix Toys. Initially, there was some tension as Abbas’s brother runs Zephyr, Blix Toys’ distribution partner, raising concerns about potential conflicts. However, Abbas clarified the situation, securing a deal where distribution rights were non-exclusive.
Aman Gupta, impressed by Abbas’s forward-thinking approach, offered ₹80 lakhs for 4% equity with a unique condition: if any business conflicts arose, he could choose to buy out Abbas’s stake in Zephyr. Despite this condition making some sharks uneasy, Abbas accepted the offer, demonstrating his commitment to Blix Toys.
The competition heated up as sharks like Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, and Peyush Bansal showed interest in backing Blix Toys. Aman Gupta and Ritesh Agarwal upped the ante with an offer of ₹1 crore for 6.25% equity, while Peyush Bansal proposed ₹80 lakhs for 4% equity. Vineeta Singh and Anupam Mittal also joined in with their own offers.
In a strategic move, Abbas countered with a proposal of ₹90 lakhs for 3% equity, showcasing his negotiation skills and sealing a deal that sets Blix Toys on a path to success in the educational toy industry.
With support from top investors and a strong team behind him, Abbas Gabajiwala is poised to propel Blix Toys to new heights, making the vision of transforming education through play a reality. As Blix Toys continues to inspire young minds and make learning exciting, it’s proving that education can be just as exhilarating as leveling up in your favorite game.
