A heated pitch on Shark Tank India Season 5 has gone viral after the Sharks strongly called out wellness entrepreneur Manoj Das for using the title “Dr.” without formal medical qualifications. Das, founder of Lewisia Wellness, showcased aromatherapy and hair care products while promoting himself as a doctor online, triggering sharp criticism from the panel. Anupam Mittal led the attack, questioning the scientific basis of Das’s claims, including social media reels promising to cure genetic baldness. Mittal warned that using the ‘Dr.’ prefix without being a registered practitioner could invite serious legal trouble. Other Sharks echoed the concern. Namita Thapar termed the business unethical, while Aman Gupta said investing would be morally wrong. Kunal Bahl slammed claims of curing diseases, and Mohit Yadav accused Das of exploiting consumer insecurities. The pitch ended with no deal, sparking a wider debate on misleading health claims and influencer accountability. ‘Shark Tank India 5′: Who Is Pratham Mittal?
