First season with about 35 episodes...
Shark Tank India is an Indian Hindi - language business reality television series that airs on Sony Entertainment Television. The show is the Indian franchise of the American show Shark Tank. It shows entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of investors or sharks, who decide whether to invest in their company.
The show features a panel of potential investors, termed as "Sharks", who listen to entrepreneurs pitch ideas for a business or product they wish to develop. These self - made multi - millionaires judge the business concepts and products pitched and then decide whether to invest their own money to help market.
After a succesful first season, Shark Tank India is returning. The first season was a short one with about 35 episodes. Shark Tank India was presented by Rannvijay Singha with Ashneer Grover - founder and managing director of Bharat Pe, Namita Thapar - executive director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Vineeta Singh - CEO and co - founder of SUGAR cosmetics, Aman Gupta - co founder and chief marketing officer of boAt, Peyush Bansal - founder and CEO of Lenskart.com, Anupam Mittal - founder and CEO of Shaadi.com, and Ghazal Alagh - co founder and chief mama of Mamaearth as the Sharks.
Now Shark Tank India is all set to come back with its second season. Sony Entertainment Television today shared the promo for the upcoming season on social media. The promo video begins with a hopeful employee trying to butter his boss - to get him some investors for his venture. The arrogant boss, however, only ignored his pleas. A voiceover on the video, is heard saying, "Stop knocking on the wrong door for investors. The new season of Shark Tank India is coming back after the big success of the first season."
The official social media handles of Sony TV announced today, April 30, that the registrations for Shark Tank India season 2 have started now. The official Instagram handle of Sony TV shared a new promo and captioned it, "Are you a budding entrepreneur? If yes, this is your chance to make it big in the world of business! Registrations for #SharkTankIndianSeason2onSony have begun.
Fans were excited for the show to comeback. "OMG very much excited. One of the best show on Earth everybody can say", wrote a fan. "Please show Shark Tank overseas also. It will be more intersting than the daily soaps being shown currently", another wrote.
Recently, speaking to comedians Rohan Joshi and Sahil Shah for Rohan's YouTube channel, Ashneer responded to a question about the drawbacks of being that direct on Shark Tank India and said, "I get abuse a lot. Even now, I get up at 3 am and sneakily deleted abusive comments from my social media."
Last season, the Sharks had invested about Rs 42 crores! About 85,000 applications across 67 businesses had been received.
