Shark Tank India, Sony TV’s business reality show where startups get the opportunity to showcase their unique business ideas, is coming back for its second season. After the success of the previous season, which was highly appreciated by the audience, the channel finally dropped the promo for Season 2.

We are all aware of Ashneer Grover’s business controversy after the show ended. He was removed from BharatPe after huge accusations against him and his wife.

But when it’s about business, I will listen to my mind.”
