The excitement is building as Shark Tank India gears up for its fourth season, premiering Monday. Fans have been treated to an extended promotional video that teases the drama, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit awaiting viewers.
This season promises fresh energy, with the addition of Kunal Bahl, the co-founder of Snapdeal, joining the panel of ‘sharks.’ His entry has already created ripples, as seen in a teaser where he engages in some playful banter with returning shark Aman Gupta.
The promo highlights entrepreneurs of various backgrounds and experiences, each eager to pitch their business ideas with passion and creativity. From tech startups to homegrown brands, the diversity of ideas showcased hints at an engaging season ahead. Among the standout moments in the promo is a pitch by none other than popular YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, also known as “Flying Beast.”
Taneja, accompanied by his partner, presented their whey protein brand, capturing the attention of the sharks with an incredible sales achievement. Despite their website being password-protected, the duo managed to generate ₹1 crore in sales within just one hour. This revelation had Aman Gupta lauding the team, calling it a “dream for many businesses,” while Vineeta Singh expressed her amazement with a surprised, “Oh my God.”
However, it was Taneja’s witty remark during his pitch that became the talk of the promo. Referring to the growing trend of founders leveraging social media for visibility, he quipped, “Aaj kal har founder ko influencer banne ka kida aa gaya hai” (These days, every founder seems keen to become an influencer).
In true Shark Tank fashion, Vineeta Singh had the perfect comeback. With a smile, she replied, “Aur influencer ko founder banne ka” (And influencers are eager to become founders). Her response drew laughter and applause, perfectly encapsulating the dynamic crossover between entrepreneurship and social media influence.
