Which Dragon joined Dragons' Den in 2017 after becoming CEO of Vitabiotics?

The story behind the answer

Tej Lalvani joined Dragons' Den in 2017 after becoming CEO of Vitabiotics.

Lalvani is a British businessman who became chief executive of Vitabiotics, the health and wellness company founded by his father, Kartar Lalvani. The company is known for vitamin and nutritional supplement brands including Pregnacare, Wellwoman and Perfectil.

He joined the Dragons' Den panel for the programme's fifteenth series. His background in consumer health products gave him experience in branding, product development, retail distribution and regulated marketing—areas that frequently matter in the pitches he evaluates.

Vitabiotics was founded in 1971, long before Lalvani appeared on television. The company remains a family business, and Lalvani's role at Dragons' Den is often discussed alongside his executive position rather than as a separate entertainment-only career.
