MUMBAI,
India
–
16th
January,
2026:
Amazon
MX
Player,
Amazon’s
free
video
streaming
service,
today
released
the
first
set
of
episodes
of
Bharat
Ke
Super
Founders,
a
high-stakes
entrepreneurial
reality
series
that
places
real
founders,
real
capital,
and
real
decision-making
at
the
heart
of
India’s
startup
narrative.
With
an
aim
to
raise
₹100
crore
in
real
capital,
the
show
aims
to
drive
the
next
wave
of
innovation
in
the
Indian
entrepreneurial
ecosystem.
India
has
seen
its
share
of
entrepreneur-led
shows.
However,
the
reality
is
that
a
country
of
over
a
billion
people
needs
far
more
platforms
that
genuinely
support
builders.
Bharat
Ke
Super
Founders
enters
the
space
with
a
clear
stance.
This
is
not
about
spectacle.
It
is
about
building
an
ecosystem
where
ambition
meets
experience,
and
ideas
matter
most:
the
real
market.
Hosted
and
mentored
by
the
iconic
Suniel
Shetty,
the
show
brings
together
a
formidable
investment
panel
comprising
Dr
A.
Velumani
(Creator,
Thyrocare),
Nitish
Mittersain
(Joint
Managing
Director
and
CEO,
Nazara
Technologies),
Dr
Aarti
Gupta
(Managing
Partner,
Anikarth
Ventures),
Shanti
Mohan
(Founder
and
CEO,
LVX),
Aditya
Singh
(Co-Founder,
All
In
Capital),
and
Ankur
Mittal
(Co-Founder
and
Partner,
Physis
Capital
and
Inflection
Point
Ventures).
Alongside
them,
Eklavya
Gupta
from
Recur
Club
joins
the
panel
as
a
key
contributor
to
the
₹100
crore
investment
pool,
bringing
structured
debt
solutions
into
the
conversation.
What
sets
Bharat
Ke
Super
Founders
apart
is
a
pitch
format
that
closely
mirrors
how
businesses
are
built
in
the
real
world.
Episodes
will
open
with
Suniel
Shetty
welcoming
founders
into
the
show’s
ecosystem.
Founders
then
step
in
with
distinctive
entries
and
present
their
ideas
through
a
structured
pitch,
product
demos,
and
detailed
conversations
around
vision,
scalability,
financials,
and
challenges.
The
discussion
goes
beyond
numbers,
as
the
show
also
brings
in
the
founder’s
personal
journey,
family
perspectives,
and
a
backstory,
offering
a
fuller
picture
of
what
it
truly
takes
to
build
a
business
from
the
ground
up.
A
defining
feature
of
the
show
is
the
‘Market’,
a
dynamic
space
made
up
of
experienced
investors
and
industry
leaders
who
actively
engage
alongside
the
tycoons.
The
Market
evaluates
each
startup
on
key
parameters
such
as
idea,
demand,
product
quality,
and
team
strength,
adding
depth
and
multiple
viewpoints
to
the
decision-making
process.
Once
the
tycoons
present
their
offers
to
the
founders,
the
Market
opens
up,
allowing
founders
to
explore
additional
funding,
negotiate
valuations,
or
raise
capital
independently
if
needed.
With
real-time
negotiations,
strategic
rights,
and
genuine
stakes
at
play,
the
show
reflects
the
complexity,
pressure,
and
opportunity
that
founders
face.
The
investment
process
unfolds
in
carefully
designed
stages
that
mirror
real-world
startup
negotiations.
Tycoons
are
first
given
the
Right
of
First
Offer
(ROFO),
allowing
them
to
present
their
terms
one
by
one
as
a
countdown
timer
heightens
the
pressure,
after
which
the
Market
opens
up,
inviting
a
wider
pool
of
investors
to
enter
negotiations,
challenge
valuations,
or
propose
alternate
structures
including
debt.
Adding
strategic
depth
are
the
panel’s
Pre-Emptive
Rights
card,
which
enables
private
one-on-one
negotiations
between
the
founder
and
tycoon
in
a
closed
glass
chamber.
Another
twist
comes
in
with
Matching
Rights
that
allow
a
tycoon
to
override
an
already
finalised
deal
by
matching
the
offer.
Each
offer
builds
to
a
decisive
Deal
or
No
Deal
moment,
and
even
after
an
agreement
is
secured,
founders
can
return
to
the
Market
to
top
up
funding
at
the
same
valuation.
If
the
offer
made
by
the
founder
lands
up
with
No
Deal
then
the
Market
becomes
the
founder’s
final
chance
to
raise
capital,
reinforcing
the
show’s
core
belief
that
serious
businesses
are
built
through
negotiation,
discipline,
and
long-term
thinking,
not
spectacle.
