Streaming on Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free video streaming service, Bharat Ke Super Founders brings together some of India’s most influential business minds, hosted and mentored by Suniel Shetty.
With ₹100 crore of real capital on the table, the series puts the country’s next generation of entrepreneurs in front of tycoons who have built, scaled, and shaped industries from the ground up.
From the very first episode, it’s clear this isn’t a typical entrepreneurial reality format. Ideas are tested hard, founder journeys are treated with respect, and only businesses with true scale and intent earn backing. This is about building for Bharat, not chasing vanity metrics.
Here are the tycoons who anchor that promise, each bringing a distinct lens on what it really takes to build something that lasts.
Dr A. Velumani – Creator, Thyrocare
Dr Arokiaswamy Velumani’s journey is one of India’s most referenced founder stories for a reason. Arriving in Mumbai with ₹500, he went on to found Thyrocare in 1996 with ₹2 lakh and fundamentally changed the diagnostics business by making quality testing affordable at scale. The company’s landmark IPO in 2016 sealed its place in India’s entrepreneurial canon. On the show, he brings uncompromising clarity on cost discipline, speed, and building solutions for Bharat, not just the balance sheet.
Nitish Mittersain – Joint MD & CEO, Nazara Technologies
A true early mover in India’s digital economy, Nitish Mittersain founded Nazara Technologies in 1999, long before mobile gaming became mainstream. Today, Nazara stands as a publicly listed global gaming and esports leader with brands like Sportskeeda and Kiddopia under its belt. His journey from teenage tech enthusiast to running a multinational digital entertainment company mirrors the rise of India’s internet economy itself, and he brings that long-view mindset to the table of the Amazon MX Player’s Bharat Ke Super Founders.
Aditya Singh – Co-Founder, All In Capital
A new-age investor with a deep founder-first mindset, Aditya Singh operates at the intersection of capital and conviction. Through All In Capital, he backs founders before the spotlight arrives, working closely with them to shape strategy, navigate early missteps, and find product-market fit. On the show, he champions ideas when they are still fragile and helps turn belief into execution.
Dr Aarti Gupta – Managing Partner, Anikarth Ventures
Dr Aarti Gupta brings a systems-led investing mindset shaped by years of evaluating, scaling, and advising growth-stage businesses. At Anikarth Ventures, she focuses on identifying companies with strong fundamentals, governance, and long-term growth potential, not just short-term traction. Her experience spans working with founders on leadership depth, market strategy, and operational excellence, making her a voice of strategic rigour on the panel.
Shanti Mohan – Founder & CEO, LVX
A key force in shaping India’s early-stage investment ecosystem, Shanti Mohan founded LVX to bridge angel investors and first-time entrepreneurs. Her work has helped countless startups take their first credible steps forward. On the show, she draws on years of mentoring to push founders to articulate not just what they are building, but why it matters and for whom, grounding ambition in purpose and market fit.
Ankur Mittal – Co-Founder & Partner, Physis Capital & Inflection Point Ventures
Known for backing companies at decisive growth moments, Ankur Mittal brings a sharp eye for traction, scalability, and execution. Through Physis Capital and Inflection Point Ventures, he has built a reputation for spotting momentum early. On Bharat Ke Super Founders, he challenges founders to move past ideas and prove readiness for real, measurable growth.
Eklavya Gupta – Recur Club
Adding a fresh dimension to the investment panel, Eklavya Gupta represents Recur Club and champions structured debt as a powerful growth lever. As part of the show’s ₹100 crore investment pool, he expands the conversation beyond equity, reflecting how modern startups scale while managing dilution and cash flow intelligently.
Together, the tycoons of Amazon MX Player’s Bharat Ke Super Founders do more than assess pitches. They bring lived experience, hard-earned judgment, and the kind of real-world perspective that Bharat’s next generation of builders will need to succeed.
