The American reality television series Shark Tank and its Indian equivalent, Shark Tank India, have provided a platform for numerous entrepreneurs to receive valuable feedback and funding from prominent industry leaders, while also motivating viewers to pursue their aspirations. In a similar vein, Vijay TV has introduced a new program titled Startup Singam.

What is Startup Singam?

The television channel has revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Tamil Nadu is set to debut its own business reality television program. To promote this initiative, they have released a teaser showcasing entrepreneurs presenting their concepts to three investors in search of funding or mentorship.

The tagline for the show states, “Join Tamil Nadu’s inaugural startup reality series, connecting innovative ideas with visionary investors. Empowering startups, fostering MSME growth, and crafting success narratives on mainstream television.”

Titled Startup Singam, the series will consist of 13 episodes, each featuring three pitches. It is scheduled to premiere on January 26 and will be broadcast on the channel every Sunday at 10 am. Additionally, it will be available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, with Angelin B serving as the host.

Internet reacts

Upon the announcement of Startup Singam by the television channel, viewers quickly drew parallels to Shark Tank. One individual remarked, “Copy Cat,” while another stated, “Inspired by Shark Tank!! Nonetheless, it is a commendable initiative @vijaytelevision.”

A user on X expressed, “I hope it’s not merely an imitation of Shark Tank. Please refrain from incorporating excessive drama and emotional elements. It would be beneficial to focus on objectivity and introduce clear entrepreneurial goals. Good luck!!!!” Another user suggested, the “Shark Tank Tamil version.”

For those unfamiliar, Shark Tank India is currently in its fourth season, airing on Sony TV, featuring prominent investors such as Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, Ritesh Agarwal, Azhar Iqubal, Varun Dua, Kunal Bahl, and Viraj Bahl. The show premiered on January 6 and is also available for streaming on Sony LIV.
