79-Year-Old Entrepreneur Stuns Shark Tank India with Bold Pitch

Bhupen, a 79-year-old entrepreneur, won hearts on Shark Tank India Season 4 with his auto venture, MK Auto. Seeking to raise ₹3.5 crore in exchange for 5% equity, he is going to battle industry giants like Bajaj by producing fuel-efficient auto-rickshaws at affordable prices. Having zero sales till date, Bhupen wants to grow MK to ₹200 crore.

Having started his career in 1972—20 years before Ritesh Agarwal was born—Bhupen impressed the sharks with his passion and resilience. While no deals were made, sharks like Ritesh Agarwal and Namita Thapar offered valuable advice and connections. The panel honored Bhupen’s determination by standing up and touching his feet as a mark of respect.

This inspirational appeal showed that innovation and drive have no age limit.
