Become Tank Ready — Ebook

BECOME TANK READY — FOUNDER EDITION
The Insider Playbook to Pitch Better, Read the Room & Turn Bold Ideas Into Real Deals.

Prepare independently for Shark Tank with the frameworks, worksheets, and questions to turn what you know about your business into a pitch you can defend. Written by Raghav Mahajan, a Shark Tank India featured founder who received two offers on his first application — including an on-air offer of approximately $105,000 (USD terms) from Ritesh Agarwal, founder of OYO.

After his episode aired, founders kept asking Raghav the same questions: how did you prepare, what numbers did you need, how did you decide what to say. This book turns that preparation into a practical framework you can work through yourself — at your own pace, before you apply.

"I prepare until luck is less relevant."

What's inside

• Understand the journey — the application, the audition, the on-air pitch, and the work that can follow.
• Defend your numbers — your ask, valuation, equity, and negotiation approach.
• Learn from real pitches — case studies from India and the US, to see decisions in context.
• Raghav's Tank Journey — the real journey from preparation and pitch to offers, negotiation, and what happened after the Tank.
• Prepare beyond the pitch — due diligence, deal terms, and planning for post-episode attention.
• Put it into practice — worksheets you apply to your own business, at your own pace.
