After the massive success of season one, Shark Tank India will soon start streaming the second season and the makers have already locked up their sharks for the corporate reality hybrid show. However, it turned out that former BharatPe founder and CEO Ashneer Grover from the second season was dropped and replaced by a new shark Amit Jain (CEO and co-founder – Cardekho Group, InsuranceDekho.com).
While discussion of Ashneer’s replacement was being debated on social media, Namita Thapar (Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals) has now broken her silence on the matter. She recently shared a promo of the upcoming season on Twitter and also talked about Ashneer’s ousting from the show.
Without mentioning Ashneer in her tweet, Namita wrote: “One person doesn’t make or break a show…not me, nobody…this show is about celebrating our entrepreneurs, job creators…it’s about teaching tons of business concepts through beautiful stories from these nation builders. focus on that and the team’s hard work.”
One person doesn’t make or break a show… not me, nobody… this show is about celebrating our entrepreneurs, creating jobs… brought in by the team.

When a Twitter user said the show wasn’t a real investor pitch and just another reality show to win TRP, Namita fired back at the user. She responded that it’s her real money she’s putting into it and further dismissed the user by saying that “it’s easy to talk and whine and judge… hard to give time, energy, mentorship and money. ” She then added in a separate tweet, “Let’s see if authenticity and cause win out over judgment and toxicity! What does New India really want from life?”
Are you serious? Because it’s my ‘real’ money I’m putting into it.. what do you mean it’s not a real pitch??!! It’s easy to talk & nag & judge…hard to give time, energy, mentorship & money. https://t.co/oRK7H2vpy5

On the other hand, Ashneer has written his memoir called Doglapan (Double Standards) – The Harsh Truth About Life and Startups, which is available for pre-orders and will be available next month. Billed as an “untethered tale of Ashneer Grover – Startup India’s favorite and misunderstood poster boy”, the memoir has been called a “raw, heartbreaking in its honesty and completely from the heart, storytelling at its finest”.
