In Episode 21 of Shark Tank India Season 4, husband-wife duo Suhas Ramegowda and Sunita Suhas introduced their innovative brand, The Good Doll. Their mission? To revolutionize the toy industry by moving away from plastic-based toys and embracing sustainable, upcycled fabric dolls—also known as Rag Dolls.
The founders highlighted a critical issue in the toy industry: 90% of toys are made from plastic, which eventually ends up in landfills, harming the environment. To counter this, they developed a line of dolls that are:
✅ Made from upcycled fabric
✅ Body-positive & color-inclusive
✅ Tested & safe for kids
✅ Feature interchangeable clothing
With 32,000 customers already embracing their eco-friendly dolls, the founders emphasized that Indian children should be inspired by diverse Indian characters, making their dolls not just toys, but also culturally relevant role models.

Despite not securing a deal, The Good Doll stands out as a sustainable and socially responsible brand in the toy industry. Their commitment to reducing plastic waste, promoting body positivity, and offering Indian-inspired dolls makes them a brand to watch in the coming years.
