Amazon MX Player has officially released the trailer for its highly anticipated entrepreneurial reality series, ‘Bharat Ke Super Founders’. Scheduled to premiere on January 16, the show features a high-stakes pitch room where emerging entrepreneurs from across India compete for a massive ₹100 crore investment pool.

Produced by Rusk Media and Recur Club, the series shines a spotlight on “Bharat”—the diverse and resilient founders from small towns and varied backgrounds. Unlike traditional formats, the show emphasizes real capital, verified data, and rigorous due diligence. Every deal made on the platform is backed by actual investment intent, ensuring that authenticity remains at the heart of the storytelling.

Suniel Shetty, who serves as both host and mentor, shared his vision for the show, “I’ve always believed that success comes from consistency, not shortcuts. ‘Bharat Ke Super Founders’ is about putting in the work and learning from setbacks. Guiding founders in a space where real ideas are taken seriously and backed with real capital is something I truly value.”

The series features a rotating roster of India’s most respected business minds, providing a mix of equity and debt-based funding. The primary investor panel includes:

• Dr. A. VeluMani: Creator of Thyrocare and Director of AVMSmile.
• Nitish Mittersain: Founder & CEO of Nazara Technologies.
• Dr. Aarti Gupta: Chief Investment Officer at Anikarth Ventures.
• Shanti Mohan: Founder & CEO of LetsVenture Trica.
• Aditya Singh: Co-Founder of All In Capital.
• Ankur Mittal: Partner at Physis Capital and Co-Founder of Inflection Point Ventures.

A unique aspect of the series is its integration of AI-native debt solutions. Eklavya Gupta of Recur Club contributes significantly to the ₹100 crore commitment, demonstrating how modern Indian startups can combine equity ambition with scalable debt capital to power their next phase of growth.

Amogh Dusad, Director and Head of Content at Amazon MX Player, added that the format aims to “democratize opportunities” for innovators across India, giving them a credible platform to flourish and scale their businesses to the next level.
