During an epic showcase on Shark Tank India, Abbas Gabajiwala pitched Blix Toys’ vision, seeking ₹80 lakhs for 2% equity. Plot twist: Abbas’s bro runs Zephyr, Blix Toys’ distribution ally, stirring up some initial drama about potential biz conflicts. But Abbas cleared the air, securing the scene as distribution rights were chill and non-exclusive.
Aman Gupta, vibing with Abbas’s future-forward mindset, made an offer of ₹80 lakhs for 4% equity, throwing in a plot twist of his own. If any bro drama went down, Aman could opt to buy out Abbas’s stake in Zephyr. While this condition had the other sharks shook, Abbas locked it down, showing he was all in for Blix Toys’ success story.
The plot thickened as sharks like Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, and Peyush Bansal threw their hats in the ring, keen to back Blix Toys. Aman Gupta and Ritesh Agarwal teamed up, raising the stakes to ₹1 crore for 6.25% equity, while Peyush Bansal slid in with an ₹80 lakhs offer for 4% equity. Vineeta Singh and Anupam Mittal weren’t about to sit this one out, adding to the hype with their own proposals.
Abbas, in a boss move, hit back with a counter of ₹90 lakhs for 3% equity, showing off his negotiation skills and clinching a deal that put Blix Toys on the fast track to ruling the edu-play kingdom.
With some heavyweight investors and a killer team backing him, Abbas Gabajiwala is set to take Blix Toys beyond the stratosphere, making the dream of transforming education through play a reality. As Blix Toys keeps inspiring mini geniuses and turning learning into the coolest game in town, it’s proving that education can be as thrilling as leveling up in your favorite video game.
