Shark Tank India has been one of the most successful reality shows launched in the past few years. Airing on SonyLiv, the show is currently in its fourth season and has played an enormous role in promoting the startup culture in India. Based on the International Shark Tank and Dragon Den, the show has inspired several other shows in India. Now, Tamil Nadu is stepping into the entrepreneurial spotlight with Startup Singam, the state’s first-ever startup reality show.
The show, hosted by Angelin and modeled after the globally acclaimed Shark Tank, promises to be a game-changer for Tamil Nadu’s startup ecosystem.
