The Plated Project entered Shark Tank India Season 2 with artist-designed plates linked to meal sponsorship. The founders asked for ₹75 lakh for 2% equity, establishing the starting point for the televised valuation and investment discussion.

The televised negotiation ended with ₹75 lakh for 3.75% equity. Those were announced programme terms; television agreements can remain subject to due diligence and definitive documents, and no later cap table was reviewed for this report.

As of August 27, 2026, the latest traceable position comes from the current primary source and the cited programme record. The Plated Project’s official history says its art-led products have sponsored more than 650,000 meals. The brand continues to sell limited-edition functional art created with artists. The meal total is company-published and does not disclose current financial performance.

The before-and-after comparison is between the focused proposition presented in the Tank and the most recent verifiable public footprint. At the pitch stage, the founders were seeking capital, strategic support and national visibility. The latest sources show whether the product, distribution or service remains publicly available and identify any disclosed operating milestone.

Website availability, app distribution, product counts, store totals and company announcements can demonstrate continued commercial activity. They do not automatically prove sustained customer use, cash collection, profit or enterprise value. Promotional statements are therefore attributed to the company and are not converted into independent financial conclusions.

No recent audited revenue, profit, headcount or current valuation was located in the public sources reviewed unless expressly stated above. The Shark Tank terms are reported as televised terms and should not automatically be interpreted as confirmation that funds were transferred after due diligence.

The supportable conclusion is measured: The Plated Project began its Shark Tank journey with artist-designed plates linked to meal sponsorship, sought ₹75 lakh for 2% equity, and left the televised discussion with ₹75 lakh for 3.75% equity. Its present position is described only through traceable material, without filling disclosure gaps with estimates.
