The ‘sharks’ of the popular reality television series Shark Tank India were hosted by comedian and talk show host Kapil Sharma in the latest episode of his show. In Shark Tank India, budding entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to seven businesspersons, who then discuss the said ideas among themselves and with the person whose pitch it is, and decide whether to invest their money.
It is a spinoff of the original American reality show, which has been running for 13 seasons since 2009. Kapil counted the sharks, joking that Archana Puran Singh kidnaps rich guests so he is just making sure.
