Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Great Grub (Go Gafoor Inc) After Dragons’ Den?
Great Grub (Go Gafoor Inc) appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 14 Episode 9. The business was a halal sandwich food-to-go business. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2021.
The Pitch
Sunil Kavuri walked into the Den in 2017 with a halal sandwich food-to-go business. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 5% of the business.
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 Sunil Kavuri left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Great Grub (Go Gafoor Inc) did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2021, some 4 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Great Grub (Go Gafoor Inc) Still in Business?
No. Great Grub (Go Gafoor Inc) is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
