a Kashmir-based cricket bat manufacturer called Alfa Sports & Co has sent a legal notice to Sony Entertainment Television, the broadcaster of Shark Tank India, and Tramboo Sports Pvt Ltd, a startup that pitched on the show. Alfa Sports claims that Tramboo Sports cofounders, Saad Tramboo and Hamad Tramboo, have made false and misleading statements on the show about their technology and competitive advantage in the bat manufacturing industry. Alfa Sports alleges that Tramboo Sports has been sourcing bats from them and other vendors in Kashmir, and has no exclusive or innovative capability to produce “lite willow” bats, as they claimed on the show. Alfa Sports seeks INR 500 crore in damages for the business loss, mental agony, and reputation damage caused by Tramboo Sports’ claims. Tramboo Sports had received an investment of INR 30 lakh for a 4% equity stake from two of the investors on Shark Tank India, Peyush Bansal and Aman Gupta. The Cricket Bat Manufacturers Association of Kashmir (CBMAK) has also expressed its support for Alfa Sports and demanded an apology from Sony and Tramboo Sports on national TV. This is a developing story and more details are awaited.
