When it was first released, we all had no idea how much the non-fiction program Shark Tank India, which is produced by Sony Entertainment Television, contributed to the start-up boom in India. However, soon after it started, it went on to become the most talked-about show in India.
After only a few weeks of airing, social media was swamped with memes, tweets, and videos claiming that the show had been successful in grabbing people’s attention, regardless of their age, gender, or line of work.

Many budding entrepreneurs have received the inspiration they needed to succeed thanks to Shark Tank India, the first Indian edition of the internationally renowned business reality program. Due to its immense popularity, the producers have come up with a brand-new show season this year.
While the show has been generating lots of news featuring unique and fresh startups, the other thing that has created a lot of buzz is Ashneer Grover’s absence. BharatPe, Sharknado’s co-founder, is without a doubt the most well-known shark from the previous season. So, his absence from the second season gives a lot of fodder to the gossip mills.
However, the judge’s panel has changed, even though the show’s overall idea remains mostly unchanged. The creator and CEO of CarDekho, Amita Jain, also joined the show as the new shark for Season 2.
