Shark Tank India 2: Entrepreneur Ganesh Balakrishnan, who was last seen in ‘Shark Tank India 2’, has received a job offer from Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal. He declined, saying that he wanted to focus on his business. Mittal pointed out that the platform was not just for money and business, and offered Ganesh a job, saying: “I have an open offer for you.”

IIT Bombay alumnus and MBA Ganesh, who started Flatheads in 2019 and has done well during the pandemic, is going through a tough phase. He said that he did not accept the offer as he wanted to concentrate on his business.

Flatheads is an online store for shoes and sneakers made from natural products. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be a part of ‘Shark Tank India 2’ and pitch to a shark,” Ganesh said. “It really gave me a perspective on what’s important to me, not only as an entrepreneur, but also as a family man.” He added: “I will always remember Anupam’s statement that survival is the most important thing for an entrepreneur, and will take Aman’s advice on taking a break, learning something and coming back stronger.”

Talking about Mittal’s offer, he explained: “Creating Flatheads has been a roller-coaster journey. Anupam’s offer was genuine and heartfelt, and I will always be grateful to him for that gesture. But I realized that I You need some time to think about yourself.” A trip before I decide on the next phase of my life.”

Ganesh explained: “I didn’t accept the offer in an emotional moment because I really wanted to make sure I was making the best possible choice for myself and my family.”
