Shark Tank India Season 5 kicks off startup hunt at Farmley’s Indian healthy snacking Summit in Delhi

In a dynamic collaboration poised to shape the future of India’s food startup ecosystem, Farmley and Shark Tank India have joined forces at the Indian Healthy Snacking Summit 2025, taking place this Friday at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.

Entrepreneurs attending the summit will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pitch their ventures directly to the producers of the hit TV show via a special Shark Tank India booth at the event.

Now entering its landmark fifth season, Shark Tank India has become a launchpad for India’s most promising startups.

This unique initiative will serve as a live audition for aspiring founders. Recorded pitches will be reviewed by the show’s Mumbai production team, and selected participants could find themselves pitching on national television, standing in front of the country’s top business minds - the Sharks.

“This on-ground audition format is revolutionizing how we discover and nurture talent,” said Akash Sharma, co-founder of Farmley. “It’s not just about pitching — it’s about empowering the next generation of business leaders by giving them a platform to be heard in a more accessible, personal setting.”

The 2nd edition of the Indian Healthy Snacking Summit is expected to draw over 1,500 attendees and host 50+ influential speakers. Industry stalwarts such as Revant Himatsingka (FoodPharmer), Amitesh Jha (CEO, Swiggy Instamart), and Arjun Vaidya (Founder, Dr. Vaidya’s & V3 Ventures) will be joined by executives and investors from Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto, Meesho, and more. Panel discussions will delve into investment trends, future-ready distribution models, and rising health-conscious consumption habits shaping India’s food ecosystem.
