‘Shark Tank India 2’s Amit Jain reacts to reports of him replacing Ashneer Grover on show’s second season

The new season of ‘Shark Tank India’ is all set to release on January 2, and CarDekho co-founder Amit Jain will be joining the panel alongside Namita Thapar (Emcure pharmaceuticals), Aman Gupta (boAt), Vineeta Singh (Sugar), Anupam Mittal (Shaadi.com), and Peyush Bansal (Lenskart).

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the entrepreneur talked about his new role and the experience. ‘Being a shark is extremely exciting. It is a more responsible job than being an entrepreneur because now you have a voice that will be heard by millions from across the country. You have a responsibility towards the pitchers who come,’ he said.

He also reacted to reports of him replacing Ashneer Grover (BharatPe) and revealed how he will be adding a new dimension to the show. ‘I have been reading a lot of this but the reality is that I am a new shark bringing a new dimension to the show. Each shark has his way of telling his own story in his own way. Everyone brings something unique to the table,’ he told Hindustan Times.

Ashneer will not be part of the second season, along with Ghazal Alagh (Mama Earth). After exiting ‘Shark Tank India’, Ashneer will feature in the upcoming web series ‘Pitchers 2’.
