The US was the first to start Shark Tank, a popular TV show to give wings to aspiring startups. The show offers the chance for businesses to present their ideas for real investment. The result was that many start-ups became leading names in the industry after they receive capital from sharks. The beauty of the show is even if the startup fails to receive an investment, the visibility they get from the platform brings them popularity and a chance to grow.
Now a similar show has come to India with hopes for Indian startups and eager entrepreneurs. The whole format is based on the American counterpart, an entrepreneur seeking to fund the business idea or venturing to enter the tank with the pitch. Shark Tank India 1 was successful, and this time we expect it to become as popular as the first time.
Much to the enthusiasm of the entrepreneurs class and enthusiasts, Shark Tank 2 has released its promo.
