Why Is Shark Tank India a Fan Favorite, Judges, and the Concept….
Shark Tank India is a Hindustani business reality tv show that airs in India on Sony Entertainment Television. The show is an Indian version of the popular American television show Shark Tank. It depicts entrepreneurs presenting their business plans to a panel of investors or sharks who decide whether or not to invest in their venture.
Shark Tank India (season 1) aired on Sony LIV and Sony Entertainment Television from December 20, 2021 to February 4, 2022.
Shark Tank India (season 2) aired on Sony LIV and Sony Entertainment Television from January 2 to March 10, 2023.
Shark Tank’s premise:
The show’s premise is quite simple. It features self-made multi-millionaires called ‘sharks’. They are possible investors for a variety of business presentations. The presentations are given by aspiring entrepreneurs who appear on the show to promote their business or product. The entrepreneurs demand a monetary payment in exchange for a percentage of the company’s equity. If the sharks are impressed with the pitch, product, and overall valuation of the company, they may consider investing. The sharks put their own money at risk. However, the sharks almost always find flaws or weaknesses in the business model, valuation, or product itself. If all of the shark’s decline, the entrepreneurs must walk away empty-handed.
The show’s concept is interesting because of the tension and drama of pitch meetings, as well as the various kinds of relationships between the sharks and entrepreneurs. The American version of Shark Tank became extremely popular. Over 30 countries have produced local versions of the show, such as Canada, Brazil, Australia, France, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom, with 14 seasons to date.
Season 1 of Shark Tank India was a big success, with 7 popular Indian sharks from various fields on board. Shark Tank India Season 2 is currently airing after a smashing success in the first season. However, netizens have mixed feelings about it.
