Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Masti Games After Dragons’ Den?
Masti Games appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 5. The business was a board game themed around bollywood. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2007.
The Pitch
Meenal Devani walked into the Den in 2005 with a board game themed around bollywood. They were asking for £70,000.
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 Meenal Devani left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Masti Games did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2007, only 2 years after the Den appearance.
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 Masti Games Still in Business?
No. Masti Games is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2007).
