Post by Zero Point Five Show

We sat down with Vikram Mittal — co-founder of MAVI's, the kombucha and fermented foods brand featured on Shark Tank India Season 1 — to document the real, unfiltered story of building India's pioneering fermented beverage company. This isn't the 90-second pitch you saw on TV. This is what actually happened — before the tank, after the tank, and everything the cameras didn't show. From discovering kombucha with a friend in the USA to brewing it at home, to building a brand around gut health in a market that didn't know what kombucha was — Vikram holds nothing back. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT MAVI's ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MAVI's is a pioneering Indian fermented food & beverage brand — kombucha, kefir, kanji, ginger ale, kimchi & sauerkraut.
