He saw a promo of the TV show ‘Shark Tanks’ on his mobile in 2021. His brother-in-law guided him to participate in the show, and after clearing a few audition rounds, he was selected for the final round with the judges. In 2022, he appeared infront of the judges (sharks) including Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Ghazal Alagh, and Piyush Bansal. Kamlesh was accompanied by his brother’s son Naru. In the pitch to the sharks, Kamlesh said,

Hamare muh me, aankh me ye pesticide jane se bimariyan hoti hain, to mere papa ko bhi ye bimari thi (These pesticides cause diseases when they go in our mouth and eyes. My father also had the disease).”

Later, one of the judges asked why he did not opt for a job with a company. He replied,

Naukri karunga toh 24 ghante ke liye kisi ka gulam rahunga, aur hum kisan hai hum kisi ke gulam nahi rehna chahte (If I do a job, I will be someone’s slave for 24 hours, and we are farmers, we do not want to be someone’s slave).”

The way he presented the pitch was appreciated by the sharks, but four of the sharks rejected his offer. In the end, Lenskart co-founder & CEO Peyush Bansal accepted his and offered him Rs. 10 lakh for a 40% stake in his (Kamlesh’s) company ‘KG Agrotech,’ and a loan of Rs. 20 lakh at a zero per cent interest rate.

In February 2022, Kamlesh was called by Peyush at his home where they discussed the product, and through a live video on Instagram, Kamlesh and Peyush talked about the product launch.
