Kunal Bahl, co-founder of Snapdeal and Titan Capital, is set to join the panel of Shark Tank India Season 4. Bahl will replace Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO of Zomato, who announced his exit from the show due to a conflict arising from Swiggy, Zomato’s main competitor, sponsoring the season.
Goyal stated, “I will not be part of Shark Tank India Season 4 due to Swiggy sponsoring the season and requesting my removal as part of the sponsorship deal.” This unexpected change has opened the door for Bahl, who is well-known for his entrepreneurial acumen.
In a latest promotional video for Shark Tank India Season 4, Bahl was introduced as the newest shark, receiving a warm welcome from his fellow investors. The esteemed panel also includes Anupam Mittal, founder and CEO of People Group; Aman Gupta, co-founder and CMO of boAt Lifestyle; Namita Thapar, executive director at Emcure Pharmaceuticals; and Ritesh Agarwal, founder and group CEO of OYO.
