The entrepreneurial reality show streams free every Friday and Saturday.
Mumbai, February 16, 2026: In a significant achievement for India’s startup ecosystem, Amazon MX Player’s flagship reality series Bharat Ke Super Founders has crossed ₹100 crore in investment commitments early in the season. Notably, this milestone underscores the platform’s rising influence in the country’s entrepreneurial landscape.
More importantly, the show goes beyond entertainment. It offers founders not just visibility but also real capital, mentorship, and long-term strategic backing.
A Real-Life Pitch Room Backed by Real Capital
Unlike conventional reality formats, Bharat Ke Super Founders closely mirrors real-world fundraising dynamics. Entrepreneurs are therefore required to defend their business models under intense scrutiny. They face detailed questions about scalability, profitability, market relevance, and sustainable growth.
As a result, the show has driven substantial capital movement across sectors. So far, the biggest deal of the season has gone to ReGrip, which secured ₹20.25 crore — further reinforcing the show’s credibility as a serious investment platform.
Major Investments Powering Diverse Startups
At the same time, the series has spotlighted founders from across India — from grassroots innovators to seasoned technologists. Key investments this season include:
- ReGrip: ₹20.25 crore, one of the largest deals of the season
- Cosmoserve, founded by former ISRO scientist Dr. Chiranjeevi: ₹5.5 crore
- Go Swasthya: ₹2 crore investment from Nitish Mittersain
- ZozoConnect, pitched by 11-year-old Athvik Amith Kumar: ₹11 lakh grant along with mentorship support
- MH19 Chips Vala, founded by Durgesh and Sai Shimpi from Jalgaon: one of the season’s most inspiring grassroots journeys
From space-tech innovation to NFC-enabled smart networking and FMCG entrepreneurship, the range of ideas highlights how startup ambition is expanding well beyond metro cities.

Commenting on the achievement, Amogh Dusad, Director and Head of Content at Amazon MX Player, described the milestone as a defining moment. He emphasized that the show successfully brings together “ambition and authenticity,” while making entrepreneurial journeys accessible to audiences across India.
Meanwhile, mentor and host Suniel Shetty highlighted the importance of accountability. According to him, funding decisions are deliberate and backed by conviction. Furthermore, he stressed that the platform ensures long-term support beyond the pitch room.
