What Happened to Chapati Man After Dragons’ Den?

Chapati Man appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 7. The business was a range of indian chapati wraps. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Christopher and Andrea Rai walked into the Den in 2010 with a range of indian chapati wraps. They were asking for £50,000.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Christopher and Andrea Rai left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Chapati Man is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2010, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Chapati Man Still in Business?

Yes. Chapati Man appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
