Shark Tank India Launches #DontBeATota Campaign
Shark Tank India has started a new campaign called #DontBeATota.
They want people who want to start businesses to focus on real business skills, not just using fancy startup words.
The campaign features a parrot named Tota who repeats startup terms but doesn't understand them.
This shows that knowing the words isn't as important as knowing how to run a business.
Aman Gupta, one of the Sharks, said that building a company is about solving problems and being resilient, not just sounding like an entrepreneur.
They are looking for founders who understand their businesses well for Season 6 of the show.
