“Chaddi ki toxic love story ne Rahul-Sameeksha ko de diya ek billion-dollar idea!”
- Founders: Sameeksha Yadav, & Rahul Tyagi
- Product: Specialized Undergarment Wash
- Business Model: D2C
- Founded in: 2022
- Headquarters: Noida, India
- Category: Underwear Hygiene
Ugees ki story shuru hui ek toxic relationship se—chaddi aur detergent ke beech!
Rahul aur Sameeksha husband-wife aur B.Tech batchmates hain. Jab Rahul ko apna underwear khud wash karna pada, toh regular detergent se ghisna, rinse karna aur underwear ka kadak ho jaana unhe kaafi tedious laga. Tab idea aaya—“Underwear ke liye specialised wash kyun nahi?”
Isi thought se 2022 mein Ugees start hua.
Regular detergent ka pH around 10 hota hai, jabki Ugees ka pH 5.5–5.6 hai. Aur washing sirf 30–40 seconds mein—no ghisna, no neela-peela!
Founders ke urban survey ke according, 40% men aur 80% women underwear haath se wash karte hain. Pitch mein Ugees ne 1 lakh+ customers, Amazon par 4.5 rating with 1,000+ reviews, aur other marketplaces par 4.8 rating share ki. Instagram par daily 5–6 comments bhi aate hain.
Pitch-time price ₹255 tha, bottle 3–4 months chalti hai, aur category mein 8 competitors aa chuke the.
Chaddi ko mila special wash—ab dekhte hain Sharks ne kya kaha!

Husband-wife founders aur niche category ke combination ne Sneakinn ke founders ki yaad dila di. Sneakinn mein bhi founders ne multiple offers ke beech Anupam Mittal ko preference di thi. Ugees aur Sneakinn dono deals se ek interesting lesson milta hai—right Shark ka strategic value kabhi-kabhi sirf valuation se zyada important ho sakta hai.

My Learnings: Ugees Shark Tank India Pitch
- Product kya karta hai se zyada important hai—customer ki kaunsi problem solve karta hai aur market mein uski positioning kya hai.
- Patent na hone par bhi differentiation, brand recall aur early-mover advantage ko moat ki tarah build kiya ja sakta hai.
- Nayi category create karna sirf product launch karna nahi, customer ko problem aur solution dono educate karna bhi hai.
