Mission Start Ab is an upcoming business reality series, to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video (an OTT platform), 10 startups & their founders at the early-stage levels will compete with each other for funding from 3 Indian investors aiming to be the next potential unicorn in India.

Is Mission Start Ab the same as Shark Tank?

Mission Start Ab approaches toward appreciating startup ecosystems. The series isn't solely about highlighting milestones; it also delves into the journeys of the founders and their startups. It's unique and different from what Shark Tank was.

However, the focus wasn't just about being different from Shark Tank, The main goal was to authentically showcase the startups everyone believes in and, ultimately, motivate or inspire the audience.

Entrepreneurship comes with perseverance, determination, and the desire to make things happen. We can easily relate these qualities to our daily lives.

How are there 3 investors in Mission Start Ab?

A significant factor for the Mission Start Ab team presumably was not only identifying founders & apt startups but also financial investors for the show with a remarkable level of integrity, commitment, and passion. This had been crucial for guiding and mentoring the teams throughout the entire season, aligning with the ultimate format of the show.

Considering the decisions made concerning Kunal Bhal (Co-Founder, Titan Capital & Former Founder, SnapDeal), Anisha Singh (Founder, She Capital & Former Founder-CEO, Mydala), and Manish Chowdhary (Co-Founder, WoW Skin), it's evident that the team of Mission Start Ab have carefully considered their choices. Each of them boasts an impressive professional history, showcasing their expertise.

Furthermore, their profound enthusiasm is spotless throughout the show, evident even in their conversations today. They are deeply committed to contributing to the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country, whether through mentorship, participating in fundraising, or other means. Their passion for giving back is a notable aspect of their involvement.

Who can watch Mission Start Ab on Amazon Prime Video?

Entrepreneurship is often narrowly understood, but we believe everyone is an entrepreneur, whether working a job, in a position of authority, pursuing journalism, or engaging in hobbies. We all have ambitions and dreams, which may initially be side projects but evolve into something significant.

Hence, anyone who has an entrepreneurial mindset can watch all over this one-of-a-kind business-led reality series streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
