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: Entity confirmed twice over: the brand's own terms page names GilliDanda Tech Pvt Ltd, and the registry row carries metashot.in with all three named founders as directors. Do NOT use 'Metashot Technologies Private Limited' (U72900KA2022PTC161742, Bengaluru) - its directors are Sebbin Antony Joshy and Manju Joshy and it is a different company. The Rs 11 Cr institutional round is separate from the 1.6 Cr shark deal. Confidence: high.
