Shark Tank India, the reality TV show in which aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas and brands to a jury of India’s finest business owners and investors is currently trending for a myriad of reasons. Between the slew of intriguing pitches and the judges themselves, there is a lot that inspires curiosity.
The Shark Tank format was adopted from the hit U.S. series that is currently in its thirteenth run which itself was adapted from a Japanese series called Tigers of Money (2001) and the UK show Dragon’s Den (2005).
