In total, 152 startups pitched their ideas, and 73 startups successfully secured deals — with Aman Gupta emerging as the top investor of the season. That means roughly one in two founders who walked in walked out with a deal — a remarkable conversion rate that reflects how seriously the sharks took their responsibilities this season.

The season featured early-stage startups together with new business models and high-stakes negotiations, with entrepreneurs from diverse sectors including AI, D2C brands, edtech, and sustainable products securing funding.

## What Made Season 5 Different

Season 5 aired from January 5 to March 17, 2026, and introduced five new sharks — Mohit Yadav, Kanika Tekriwal, Shaily Mehrotra, Hardik Kothiya, and Varun Alagh — making it the most expansive panel the show has ever featured.

Mohit Yadav brought a “profitability first” philosophy following Minimalist’s ₹2,955 crore acquisition by HUL, while Hardik Kothiya — one of India’s youngest billionaires — focused on manufacturing scalability. Their presence brought fresh investor thinking that challenged founders in entirely new ways.
