Concept
The show features a panel of potential investors or angel investors, termed as "Sharks", who listen to entrepreneurs' pitch ideas for a business or product they wish to develop. These self-made multi-millionaires judge the business concepts and products pitched and then decide whether to invest their money to help market and mentor each contestant. The host of the show was Rannvijay Singh for the first season and was replaced by comedian Rahul Dua for the second season and he has occupied the role ever since.
