Snapdeal Co-Founder Kunal Bahl Invests in Former Assistant's AI Startup on Shark Tank India

Ashish Lath, who used to work for Kunal Bahl at Snapdeal, appeared on Shark Tank India to pitch his new AI startup called SaveSage.

This app helps people get the most rewards from their credit cards.

Ashish showed how well his app works by explaining that he and his wife haven't paid for flights in ten years, using rewards to fly 430 times and stay in luxury hotels.

Kunal Bahl, who was one of the judges, was very happy to see his former assistant succeed.

He and three other judges decided to invest Rs 4 crore in Ashish's startup.

This made for a special moment where a mentor supported his former employee's new business.

Some people online complained about the app having a paywall, but overall, the story was seen as heartwarming and inspiring.
