Rannvijay Singha is the show's host.

According to an IndianExpress.com report, Producer Indranil Chakraborty, head of StudioNEXT, said the concept to bring Shark Tank to India had been in the works for over three years. Given the current discourse in India about start-ups, the team realised that the 'time is right.' However, there was always the question of whether or not the television audience would be able to consume such a show, and whether or not advertisers would be able to obtain their money. The popularisation of Sony's digital wing, SonyLIV, provided the final push.
