Duncan’s Entrepreneurial 'Theory' Really Winds Piers Up | Dragons’ Den

Husband and wife duo Vini and Bal Aujla founded Vini & Bal's - a range of chilled Indian curry sauces with a rather short shelf life. Freshness is the guarantee on offer but Piers and Duncan clash over the entrepreneurs' previous business venture.

An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

4:38 "is it a bit of an ego trip?"

Nope, when Duncan bought 79% of that music label for £50, 000 and later called it Bannatyne Records, *that* was an ego trip.

"Bit of an ego trip?" says the guy who owns a company called Peter Jones Television

12 weeks shelf life for a fresh product like this is very good

This couple is so laid back that I had to watch this on ×1.5

[PappadumWarrior]

Haha when they went to the back of the room he was saying in Punjabi: "We should say yes, if we end up saying no later then so be it but lets say yes for now".

[Lucidplays]

The dragons look so offended when another dragon doesn't agree with them.

[pillarsofdoom]

Piers is the quiet giant. He is very successful and honest

[KeepingTheFaith]

Peter Jones always brings up Levi Roots everytime a food product comes into the den

Piers "£50k is nowhere near enough to grow this business, so here's £50k" Linney

[iarland]

I'm surprised Peter didn't ask for them for the bakery and their dog.

The reason the 'big players' in a space don't tend to make a product like this is that it competes with their own existing products that have a higher profit margin. It has nothing to do with consumer demand - and exactly why we need businesses like this thinking about things other than perpetual financial growth.

12:56 husband tells wife in Punjabi - let's say Yes for now and we'll reject the offer later 😂😂

[jarednil]

Peter rides on Levi Roots coattails a few too many times in this show. Ok we get it! 😆

[FaithFullMemory]

Back in 2014, there was an article that stated business had increased by 700%, and company was worth just in excess of £500k. Hope they’re still doing well!

[Samaramorgan.]

YouTube is a mess now, I came here to watch a Dragons Den video, I'm forced to watch an advert, then after another 2 minutes forced to watch a 1.30 sec advert followed by another another 0.30 advert being forced down my neck. This happened twice during watching.

[wolvoman]

He tells them 50k would not be anywhere enough to make it work, then goes ahead and offers the 50k

[TaxingIsThieving]

10:30 "It's not something they should be strung up for" Duncan's face!

[Vlogs-UK]

“13:00” man goes they will say yes now but will say no later 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.. I knew the Punjabi was about to come the moment he said boardroom 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪

The reasons why fresh Indian sauces are not stocked up on super markets :

People love making curries and to play with spices and herbs trying to create their very own recipe or recreate a traditional recipe but with a twist.

If they feel like eating curry but don't feel like cooking, they order a take away from their favourite Indian place.

They use jars of curry to store I'm the cupboard to use as emergency food to cook maybe for the kids after a hard day at work or just simply to use as quick meal. So shelflife is very important.
