Namita Thapar shared very authentic and raw stories of her life like she shared painful experiences from her life, she talked about people who had influenced her in guiding and she also talked about concepts she wished to have 20 years back. The book tells about a dolphin that is sweet by nature and a shark, the ferocious and aggressive one by nature. The Shark Tank India judge and Emcure’s Executive Director Namita Thapar a few days back said that it’s very necessary to keep difficult people around us as it is important for personal growth. She also said that interaction with such difficult people teaches one patience. Thapar’s shark tank experience is also shared in the book. Namita took to her Twitter account and wrote, “Difficult people are also necessary for our personal growth. They prepare us to become more enduring as that is the best way to fight and overcome their aggression, by understanding how to stay calm no matter what in life. Thapar also further added that one should not stay quiet and instead speak to their own mind but make sure to do it calmly and rationally as it will give a much better outcome. In a similar thread, the Shark Tank India judge had said that objection and disagreement are one of the most important qualities of a good leader.

The real purpose is to help people and even if it can help only one person to have faith in themselves in their toughest times, her mission will be accomplished.

Namita Thapar posted a picture with the family of the farmer entrepreneur along with a note.

Namita further said that she has finally conquered her feelings of regret by investing in those businesses now. In the note shared by Namita, she also disclosed that agro-tourism is a strong cause that is close to her heart. Her note says, “A positive start to my weekend. My two biggest regrets during shark tank were not investing in Jugaadu Kamlesh and Pandurang Taware. They are two incredible farmers who belong from Maharashtra. Today I have invested in Pandurang’s company and they are working towards a super cause that is quite close to my heart, Agro Tourism. I am excited to partner and work with him to help pan India farmers to show the world beauty of our villages”!
Kamlesh reacted to the post and dropped a red heart and fire emojis in the comment section of the post. Another fan wrote, “What an amazing gesture. Hope and wish that this inspires other investors to invest in the venture which is one of the most neglected industries of India. This is very inspiring. All the best to the team of Pandurang “. Another person wrote, “Great things. I had the same feelings during the show’s episode as it was needed for the development of India. At least any of the sharks could have invested and the pitchers were very loyal and humble during the pitch.” Again another person wrote “More power to you!!”. An Instagram user appreciated by saying,”Wow…glad to know, loved their pure and they are working with such a pure heart. Great decision.. all the best,”.
Bravo! Great to see your involvement in promoting native Agri tourism. India which is "Bharat" expects much more from the top notch enterprineur to motivate the farmers and their families. It can be achieved only by being with them in their farms. Keep it up! હવે ગુજરાત આવજો!
