Fans are excited, but some can’t stop thinking about the OG judge. One fan wrote, “Bring @ashneer.grover back, without him this show is nothing.” Others dropped comments like “Totally worth the hassle” and even asked for a TV telecast along with the OTT version.

Season 5 registrations are now open on the SonyLIV app. Applicants must fill out a form, submit a business pitch, and record a short video explaining their idea. The show has helped many startups grow since 2021, and this season aims to go even bigger.

The new season is expected to feature more diverse sectors like sustainable fashion, tech, food innovation, and local ideas. While old Sharks are likely to return, reports suggest that new investors may join as well. Still, fans continue to ask for Ashneer Grover’s return.

Promo Slams Hustle Culture, Wins The Internet

The recent Shark Tank promo went viral for its cheeky tone. It takes a dig at hustle culture and the idea of working 70 hours a week, indirectly referencing Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s viral advice. The ad shows frustrated CEOs upset because their workers have left to start their own businesses. One complains about carrying his own golf clubs; another has to share his chopper.

The voiceover adds with sarcasm, “Stay loyal to your bosses. Keep making them richer.” The promo flips the usual grind mindset and shows entrepreneurship as the smarter move.

The ad has clicked with Gen Z and millennials who are tired of burnout and want more freedom in work life
