Shark Tank India startup VivaLyf
VivaLyf co-founder Duvvuru Varshitha and Vimal Kumar made headlines on Shark Tank India Season 1 with their innovative non-invasive glucometer, EzLyf. Duvvuru Varshitha and Vimal Kumar pitched for ₹56 lakh in exchange for 7.5% equity but accepted a deal from Sharks Peyush Bansal and Anupam Mittal for 33.33% equity. Fearing the loss of control over VivaLyf, the founders Duvvuru Varshitha & Vimal Kumar ultimately walked away from the deal. However, the journey took a challenging turn when the global semiconductor shortage hit, and Vimal Kumar left VivaLyf. Now, Duvvuru is facing the challenge alone, with VivaLyf currently on hold, awaiting better supply chain conditions.
