Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free video streaming service, today announced Bharat Ke Super Founders, a new entrepreneurial reality series hosted by Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty. The show will feature some of the country’s most promising founders pitching their ideas to a panel of eminent business tycoons, who along with Recur Club, have collectively committed ₹100 crore in potential investments to fund the startup dream of India. This marks the largest investment pool ever showcased on an Indian entertainment platform. The show has been co-sponsored by StockGro and Legacy Collective.
