Sony Entertainment Television's show Shark Tank India started in 2021 as a platform providing entrepreneurs a way to reach a wider audience. Over its tenure of three seasons, the show has had its share of controversies and the issues only seem to continue much later after the latest season too. Recently, a founder of a nutritional food brand Fit ⁘ Flex accused the channel of unjustly targeting them for trademark violations. As per some media reports, Pathik Patel has also sent a legal notice to the channel over the suspension of their ad account.

The post further read, ⁘ Sony Entertainment Television has unjustly targeted us for trademark violations without any prior notice. They have striked our social media posts containing clips from the shark tank episode and have gone ahead and blocked our Ad account, unpublished our Facebook page, and disabled the collaboration feature on our brand's account as well as on my account. No prior notice or warning was sent to us. Ideally we have aired in the episode, which we could use for marketing purposes for 3 months from the said date (as per their guidelines), but our content was pulled down within 25 days, after which we ceased to run all shark tank clips on organic as well as paid posts.⁘
⁘As the founder of Fit and Flex, I've poured my heart and soul into building our brand from the ground up, and this is extremely disheartening to see that massive media houses are harassing startup brands,⁘ the Shark Tank India pitcher added.
He had also written, ⁘As I continue on this entrepreneurial path, I carry with me the lessons learned from my Shark Tank India experience. It's not just about seeking investment; it's about seizing opportunities, embracing challenges, and never losing sight of the passion that fuels our journey.⁘
