The much-anticipated announcement for Shark Tank India Season 5 is finally here, and it comes with a twist. While the excitement builds for another season of business pitches, innovation, and entrepreneurial dreams, the show's new promo has caught attention for a cheeky jab at tech veteran Narayana Murthy’s controversial 70-hour workweek remark.
Shared on Shark Tank India’s official social media channels, the announcement video opens registrations for entrepreneurs eager to pitch their ideas to the nation’s top investors — popularly known as the “sharks.” But the makers didn’t stop at just promoting the show. The video promo takes a witty yet thought-provoking look at India’s hustle culture, making satirical references to overworked employees, rigid corporate norms, and the glorification of excessive working hours — a direct nod to Murthy’s recent statement that sparked national debate.
The satire-infused clip cleverly underlines the contrast between corporate grind and entrepreneurial spirit, echoing a powerful message: great businesses thrive on bold ideas, not burnout.

The previous season, Shark Tank India 4, ran from January 6 to March 18, 2025, featuring a dynamic panel of sharks including Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, Ritesh Agarwal, Azhar Iqubal, Varun Dua, Kunal Bahl, and Viraj Bahl.
The show continues to be one of the most-watched business reality shows on Indian television.
Since its inception in 2021, Shark Tank India has hosted over 741 pitches, disbursed Rs 293 crore in funding, and sealed 351 deals — becoming a beacon of hope for budding entrepreneurs across the country.
Registrations for Season 5 are now open on Sony LIV. While the premiere date and the new shark lineup are yet to be revealed, one thing is certain: Shark Tank India is back, and it's ready to challenge conventions — with ambition, wit, and a sharp eye for innovation.
