Namita Thapar invests Rs 3 crore in The Bear House on Shark Tank India
In the latest episode of Shark Tank India, which aired on March 13, 2025, Tanvi and Harsh Somaiya, the co-founders of The Bear House, a contemporary men’s apparel and accessories brand, secured a ₹3 crore investment from Shark Namita Thapar.
This investment is structured as ₹1 crore for a 1% equity stake and ₹2 crore in debt. The couple impressed the judges with their brand’s profitability, scalability, and innovative product offerings. Shark Aman Gupta even referred to the brand as "too good to be true."
During the episode, Kunal Bahl, another Shark, also made an offer, proposing ₹3 crore for a 3% equity stake at a ₹100 crore valuation. However, after careful consideration, the Somaiyas chose Namita Thapar’s offer, which they felt aligned better with their long-term vision for The Bear House.
The Bear House specialises in smart casuals, inspired by European fashion and tailored for hybrid work cultures. The brand is known for its minimalist and high-quality clothing, which has already resonated with a broad audience.
