Nish Hair lands investment on Shark Tank India
Mumbai: Nish Hair, a homegrown hair extension brand Nish Hair by Parul Gulati, has experienced growth over the last five years in the market. Recently, the brand was featured on Shark Tank India, where founder Gulati showcased a range of hair extension products to the panel of sharks, including hair toppers with different bases, side bangs, full-head wigs, and more. The sharks were impressed with the quality of the products and the potential of the brand, with three sharks giving their offer to invest in Nish Hair.
Gulati founded Nish Hair with a vision to create a brand that caters to women of all hair types and backgrounds, with products that are hand-selected, stitched to perfection, and long-lasting. With a revenue of 6.7 crores last year, Nish Hair is committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect, empowering women to feel confident and beautiful. Hair extensions are not just for beautification purposes; they also play a crucial role in helping women who suffer from hair loss, thinning hair, alopecia, restricted growth, damaged hair, or are simply looking for a change in style. Nish Hair caters to all women’s needs, including cancer patients and those with severe hair issues.
Gulati expressed her excitement about receiving the fund and shared, “Being on Shark Tank has been one of my life’s top three moments. I always dreamed of pitching my ideas to the sharks and when the opportunity came, I jumped at it. I followed my gut and went with Amit Jain’s offer, which was the most appealing and I have immense respect for him. With the funds and learnings from the show, I aim to make Nish Hair more accessible, expand our product line to cater to men, and reach our goal of normalizing hair loss globally.”
