Suniel Shetty Announces Bharat Ke Super Founders Show with Rs 100 Crore Investment
Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty has just revealed his exciting new project. He is launching a business reality show called Bharat Ke Super Founders. The show will stream exclusively on Amazon MX Player starting January 16, 2026. This announcement comes as Shark Tank India continues its successful fifth season run.
Massive Investment Pool for Entrepreneurs
The show features a similar format to other business pitch competitions. Entrepreneurs from across India will present their business ideas to a panel of investors. What makes this show special is the enormous investment pool available. Several prominent Indian business tycoons have joined forces to create a Rs 100 crore investment fund. This means successful contestants could secure substantial funding for their ventures.
The recently released trailer shows Suniel Shetty discussing his vision. He talks about supporting a billion dreams through this initiative. The trailer also introduces some of the contestants, including remarkably young entrepreneurs. One participant is just 11 years old, demonstrating that age is no barrier to innovation.
Meet the Investment Panel
The show brings together an impressive lineup of business leaders who will evaluate the pitches. The panel includes:
- Dr A. VeluMani, creator of Thyrocare and director of AVMSmile
- Nitish Mittersain, founder and CEO of Nazara Technologies
- Dr Aarti Gupta, chief investment officer at Anikarth Ventures
- Shanti Mohan, founder and CEO of LetsVenture Trica
- Aditya Singh, co-founder of All In Capital
- Ankur Mittal, partner at Physis Capital and co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures
Suniel Shetty's Investment Philosophy
Suniel Shetty shared his thoughts about the show in an official statement. He emphasized his belief in consistency over shortcuts. "I've always believed that success comes from consistency, not shortcuts," Shetty said. "That's what Bharat Ke Super Founders stands for. It's about putting in the work, falling down, learning, and getting back up again."
The actor expressed genuine enthusiasm for guiding founders in an environment where real ideas receive serious consideration and financial backing. Shetty himself has been an active startup investor with a distinctive approach to funding decisions.
In a previous interview with GQ India, Shetty explained his investment criteria. "I am not only looking for unicorns; anybody who is successful and knows that they have to bring food home at the end of the day is attractive to me," he revealed. "For me it's intent over ideas, people over presentation, and asking 'why?' instead of 'what?' I am not necessarily looking at evaluation, and I try to value the relationship with the person and their vision."
Streaming Schedule and Availability
Viewers can watch Bharat Ke Super Founders on Amazon MX Player beginning January 16, 2026. New episodes will premiere every Friday and Saturday, providing regular weekend entertainment for business enthusiasts and aspiring entrepreneurs alike. The show promises to showcase India's innovative spirit while offering real financial opportunities to deserving business minds.
