MUMBAI, India – November 20, 2025: Amazon MX Player is launching a new reality show called Bharat Ke Super Founders. This series is a big deal for India’s startup scene. Hosted by Suniel Shetty, it brings together talented entrepreneurs who pitch their business ideas to a panel of prominent business leaders. Together, they have set aside ₹100 crore to invest in new startups, making this one of the largest funding pools on an Indian entertainment platform.
What makes this show stand out is its focus on authenticity. Each pitch is grounded in real data and solid business plans. This sets Bharat Ke Super Founders apart from other entrepreneurial shows. It celebrates the hard work and diversity of India’s entrepreneurs, giving them a stage to showcase their vision.
The panel of investors includes big names like Dr. A. Velumani, the founder of Thyrocare, and Dr. Aarti Gupta from Anikarth Ventures. They bring a wealth of experience and different investment styles to the table. One of the key contributors is Eklavya Gupta from Recur Club, whose AI Native debt infrastructure will help power the startups presented on the show.
Amogh Dusad, the Director of Content at Amazon MX Player, emphasized the show’s potential to inspire and democratize opportunities for founders across the country. Aruna Daryanani, another director at Amazon MX Player, believes this show could be a game changer for many ambitious entrepreneurs.
Even Suniel Shetty shared excitement about the project, pointing out how vital entrepreneurship is for India’s future. He sees every founder participating as a storyteller bringing fresh ideas that can shape our tomorrow.
Dr. VeluMani, a prominent investor in the show, added, “India is filled with determined founders who just need the right platform to shine.” He stressed the need for around 1.5 million successful entrepreneurs to sustain the country’s vast population. This show aims to provide that much-needed platform for budding entrepreneurs.
The show will launch soon, streaming for free on Amazon MX Player and other platforms like Prime Video and Airtel Xstream.
This initiative reflects a growing trend in India, where young, diverse entrepreneurs are increasingly stepping into the spotlight. Surveys show that over 70% of young Indians aspire to start their own businesses.
