The third season of the Indian business reality show, Shark Tank India, which is an adaptation of the popular US series ‘Shark Tank,’ is set to premiere soon on the Sony TV channel. This show provides a unique platform for aspiring inventors and entrepreneurs to pitch their innovative ideas to a group of accomplished business magnates, known as ‘sharks,’ with the possibility of securing substantial investments.
In the first two seasons, a diverse panel of judges brought their distinct experiences and insights to the forefront. Esteemed entrepreneurs such as Anupam Mittal from Shaadi.com, Aman Gupta from boAt, Vineeta Singh from SUGAR Cosmetics, Namita Thapar from Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Ghazal Alagh from Mamaearth, Peyush Bansal from Lenskart, and Amit Jain from CarDekho served as the Sharks in these seasons.
In an exciting development for Shark Tank India Season 3, Ritesh Agarwal, the founder of OYO Rooms, joins the panel of Sharks. Ritesh Agarwal, a self-made billionaire and one of India’s most successful entrepreneurs, is also the youngest Shark on the panel. He joins the ranks of Aman Gupta, Amit Jain, Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, and Peyush Bansal in this upcoming season.
Ritesh Agarwal’s journey is remarkable, having founded OYO Rooms in 2013 at the age of just 19. OYO Rooms has since grown into one of the world’s largest hotel chains, boasting over 1.5 million rooms across more than 80 countries.
Sony Television created quite a buzz when they announced Ritesh’s participation in Shark Tank India Season 3 on social media, with his debut video quickly going viral.
