This comes days after Taneja updated his LinkedIn bio to "Good Influencer/Terrible Entrepreneur." These were the words used by Shark Tank India judge Anupam Mittal while commenting on Taneja's pitch on the show. After presenting his pitch for his fitness brand , Beast Life, Mittal said, "You are a good influencer but a terrible entrepreneur so far. I’m sorry, but you can’t outsource entrepreneurship."  The influencer had asked for Rs 1 crore in return of 1 per cent equity. However, none of the judges made an offer to invest in his company.

After his stint on the show, Taneja took to LinkedIn said that the sharks asked him to shut down his YouTube channels. "“Shut down your YouTube and go all in on one business. That’s the advice I got from some Sharks on Shark Tank India. During the pitch, one of the Sharks asked if I would continue YouTube. Without a blink of an eye, I confidently said, “Yes." He didn’t seem too happy with my response and remarked, ‘Aap ka focus nahi hoga, aap waha se paisa bana loge’."

Taneja further said that he was hurt buy the remarks. He also took a dig at Anupam Mittal's company Shaadi.com and compared its 125000 followers on social media with that of his 8-month-old brand's 127,000 followers. The rules of entrepreneurship are evolving. Maybe it’s time to explore and break traditional moulds," he wrote.

He currently owns three channels: “Flying Beast,” “Fit Muscle TV,” and “Rasbhari Ke Papa”. Beast Life is a fitness brand, offering a range of products such as whey protein, creatine monohydrate, and energy-boosting mass gainers.
