What happened

Like several Season 3 deals, it included a royalty: investors receive a share of revenue until a set amount is repaid, which reduces their risk.
On Shark Tank India Season 3, Lea Clothing closed a deal of ₹1 crore for 4% equity, plus 2% royalty until ₹1.5 crore is recouped. The equity portion implies a valuation of about ₹25 crore for the business. The royalty means investors receive a share of revenue until a set amount is returned, which lowers their risk and lets founders give away less equity.
