Did the deal close?

Nothing on record yetStill trading

We looked and found nothing either way. Indian filings can take 12 to 18 months to show up. This is not a sign that the deal fell through.

Trading: Still trading · Statutory filing in the last 24 months (thecompanycheck.com, 11 Sept 2026)

What we found: The brand page ties arata.in to Slick Organics Private Limited. The board carries a nominee director, Hariharan Premkumar, but he joined 2019-04-10, five years before the air date, so he is an earlier VC nominee. No director joined after the air date. The post-air event is a INR 25 Cr HDFC Bank charge on 2025-04-04, which is working-capital debt. Confidence: medium.
