Dragons’ Den
Lara Sengupta is pitching her ‘CorkYogis’ – natural, sustainable & ethically produced yoga mats. Lara’s seeking an investment of Β£50,000 in return for a 15% stake in her company, but Deborah has a bone to pick over her contradictory manufacturing…
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.

30 seconds in and I'm pretty sure the blonde girl is nuts or a psycho killer or something..
Oh okay, she's just into Yoga. Now it makes sense.
I think the dragons missed the point of the charity which i think was brilliant for this business but Lara misrepresented it by far. The point is that women dominate the yoga world so they would be more related to charity against trafficking. Furthermore all the yogis are supposed to be sensitive and caring Add to that all the luxury yoga mat competitors do eco charity or use eco friendly materials to attract customers. So going against trafficking was part of the business and not something completely alien to it.
Its a scam
Hi my name is Je….Iβm out.
Jenny shocked tej making a deal I think someoneβs needs to tell her why the dragons are there
Touker I'm not sure thats YOGA.. π€£π€£π€£.. Peter jones
Lara has this strange spark and manners.
Yoga mats made in China… And then will shift manufacturing to Portugal…. ππ€£ππ€£π…….. This is a joke…. Why not manufacture in India….
And pls note India does not recognize or need help…. We have our law enforcement who are capable enough to take care of human trafficking….. India does not need help or sympathy…. India is very much on the highway to being self reliant…… Pls don't disgrace India on the world stage by crying for help….. This can't be acceptable…..
Good intentions doesnβt put food on the table. Business first, then charity, not the other way round.
India does not need sympathy… We very much on the highway to being self reliant.. Pls do India a favor and don't ask any favors for India….. πππππ
Tej really wanted to invest but was reluctant idk why
Every time she said "erm" she should have been flogged on the arse with bamboo
Β£60 for a yoga mat? lol that's a scam at it's finest and the fact that she calls is 'luxorious' is even more of a joke
π π π π π π π π π
it seems to me that some of the dragons (Peter Jones) just want to browbeat and belittle people.
From watching many Dragon's Den videos i wanna say : Thank you China.
In brief we want western money to benefit India and i want to get rich myself . . . . .Vile!
Is it a requirement for a male that does yoga to have a man bun and look malnourished?
She looks like she loves B-W-C
Instead of giving away loads of cash to India from your fledgling business from the start, why not get the mats made in India with a guaranteed minimum wage (the home of Yoga!) and so create jobs and prosperity… then later as the business grows donate money into community and social welfare programs in India. This woman has a good heart but has it back to front.
Boring
does this woman not know what 9×6 is?
Why do people need a fkn mat to stretch.most of the losers doing this babylonian practice think its from india
What a joke.
She dosen't have to do any social free charity, simply can open the manufacturing in India and hire some people
She can't even do 9,000 x 6. Educated, ethically-conscious, can't do 9,000 x 6. Frightening.
Do u guys know…jenny is a full blown alcoholic
India is even cheaper than China to manufacture her mats but she rather goes to Portugal. Dream on girl
@13:18 A nice close-up of Jenny's perfectly blank notebook.
I think tej wants his hole
They could have called it Corga…
Cork n Yoga lol
There's a brand name right there!
Get your Corga mats and bags right hereeeee π
A cpmpany that wants to fight human traficking with products made in China…
No, why not source elsewhere, India? Not China for everything. That's why we don't have a balance. Yoga mats are pretty naturally. I believe the color ones do hold the sweat. The girl is a bit mixed. Luv this program.πΊπΈ
Sad story man
If she wants to be ethically conscious, she can start by reducing her mark-up from a ridiculous 500%.
Announcer: βThe first candidate to enter the Den is…β
Jenny: βIβm outβ
Lara – go all the way yourself
GOOD LUCK !
in spite of what peter said im going to make you an offer to save face .
I know it may sound bad but I really don't think nor care about human sex trafficing in India while buying a yoga bag. Also sex trafficing is not just an Indian problem what about human trafficking in China, Ukraine ect.
90% of the comments are about jenny
Not one sensible comment all parroting what was said
I was a runner on Dragon's Den for this series and you wont have noticed with the original broadcast of the episode, but i actually managed to sneak in a quick marriage proposal to Lara (1:51) Was pretty impressed she didn't lose her cool.
Jenny Campbelll had to take a payday loan to buy a pen for herself, the clothes she's wearing came from good will and she had to take a mortgage on her flat to pay for the bus ticket to get to the recording studio π Sadly there is no money left in her pockets for any investments π After the show recording she's collecting napkins that show producers provide them to wipe the sweat from faces in hot studio from all of the dragons , so she's going to be able to use those as toilet paper because she's banned from McDonald's already for stealing free ketchup & napkins there π
Deborah: I can work with you all day everyday….. but i won't lol
Peter getting all defensive lol. Bruh you're out, let him ask questions and see if he does an offer
It is said that over the course of a pitch, Jenny builds up potential excuses from other dragons within her chins, until she eventually activates one of her preserved excuses, announcing to the rest of the den that she is out
4:51
Enough said
Man alot of caucasian people using indian traditions as their own business nowadays. that takes the biscuit for me.
Not one truly socially focussed dragon.
