As the final episode of Shark Tank India airs today, sharks Anupam Mittal, Peyush Bansal, and Aman Gupta took to LinkedIn to share their favourite moments from their time on the show. Anupam Mittal of Shaadi.com chose to take a look back at his time on the show as an investor or Shark.

In a recent LinkedIn article, Mittal expressed his strong belief that the entrepreneurship-themed reality programme "has been the catalyst that will change India's entrepreneurial landscape forever." He further added that, "Starting-up just got a whole lot more diverse, inclusive and sexy in India."

He went on to say in the article that he is looking forward to expanding chances for 'womenpreneurs,' 'youngpreneurs,' 'bharatpreneurs,' and 'farmpreneurs,' since "we cannot win if we don't take everyone along." According to the Shaadi.com CEO, he has invested Rs 5.4 crore in 24 enterprises. Mittal has invested in 70 percent of the enterprises that are led by youngpreneurs, 50 percent by womenpreneurs, and 30 percent by couples and families.

Mittal signed off his LinkedIn post in a poetic fashion, Chhodo kal ki baatein, kal ki baat purani. Naye daur mein likhenge hum milkar nayi kahani. Aaj purani zanjeero ko chhod chuke hai, kya dekhe uss manzil ko jo chhod chuke hai! Naya khoon hai, nayi umang hai… hum hai nayi jawaani!

Another shark, Lenskart's Peyush Bansal, was praised for his investment in KR Agrotech, which is owned by Jugaadu Kamlesh, a resident of Malegaon's Tarpada village in Maharashtra, while Shark Tank India was on. Bansal made a LinkedIn article thanking all of the netizens for their support of his investment in KR Agrotech. He also detailed why he feels Kamlesh is a "rockstar entrepreneur" in the same piece.

The top five reasons stated by the Lenskart CEO were Kamlesh's large vision and purpose, real problem, enthusiasm, perseverance and agility, and drive to learn. Other factors included optimism, self-assurance, and respect, as well as customer empathy, teamwork, values, and humility.

Bansal said, "I truly believe impact is created by great Entrepreneurs and Kamlesh is really one of them. He just did not have the access and resources some of us have and honestly I feel some of us, like me, just got more lucky than him first."

When the show was faced with criticism and some users compared it with Shark Tank US, one of the investors on Shark Tank India -- Boat CMO Aman Gupta said that there is "like 1 per cent of India which compares us to Shark Tank USA and their sharks and format."

"My view is they will never like Indian versions as they are the pseudo intellectuals with colonial hangover who love everything Angreji or get infatuated when they hear the word daallars," Gupta added.

Aside from that, Shark Tank India made headlines for the hilarious memes that emerged from the season. BharatPe's Ashneer Grover, Boat's Aman Gupta, and Emcure Pharmaceuticals' Namita Thapar are among the show's first-season meme favourites.
