Manoj Murarka and Nirmala Murarka presented Kabira Handmade as a brand for edible oils, spices and flours produced with traditional processing methods. The consumer brand operated under Manishankar Oils and sought to take an established family manufacturing activity into direct online sales.
Kabira Handmade appeared on Shark Tank India Season 1 asking for ₹1 crore for 5% equity. The founders did not accept the financing structure discussed during the programme, and the published pitch record classifies the outcome as no deal.
The brand’s main proposition was traditionally processed edible oil, including cold-pressed mustard oil. Product descriptions use terms such as natural and unadulterated; these are marketing statements and should not be treated as independently tested health advantages without product-specific evidence.
Post-show reporting indicates that the consumer label continued selling mustard oil while operating primarily through Manishankar Oils Private Limited. Current business profiles continue to identify Kabira Handmade with that operating company rather than documenting a separate funded startup.
No recent registry-derived revenue figure was located that isolates Kabira Handmade sales from the wider oil business. As a result, the company’s current turnover, profit and valuation cannot be responsibly calculated from public information.
The defensible journey is one of continuity rather than measured high growth. Kabira Handmade left Shark Tank India without investment but continued as a branded extension of Manishankar Oils. As of August 25, 2026, public listings still connect the product to the operating manufacturer, while no audited post-show revenue benchmark is publicly available.
This structure also complicates before-and-after comparisons because the television brand and the manufacturing company are not separate economic units in the available data. Revenue from bulk supply, private-label work or other Manishankar products cannot be attributed automatically to Kabira Handmade. Only explicitly identified brand sales would support a reliable growth calculation, and those figures have not been published.
