Download or update the SonyLiv app and fill the Shark Tank India Season 2 registration form by following the instructions mentioned on the app. Mention your business idea. If you hook the Shark Tank team with your idea, you will proceed to the next step.
Step 2 – the pitch
In this stage, the Shark Tank team will get to know the applicants and their business ideas better. The applicants will have to tell the team what makes their business idea extraordinary and why is it worth investing in! This will have to be done in the form of a compelling video pitch (three min long) which will decide whether the idea is worth making the cut on “Shark Tank India Season 2.”
Step 3 – the audition
The selected applicants will go through a round of auditions with the Shark Tank team which will be the penultimate step towards making it big with the second season of Shark Tank India.
Step 4 – the Shark tank
This is the ultimate test of perseverance. The selected applicants or the ‘Pitchers’ in this stage will find themselves face-to-face with the ‘Sharks’ or the investors who will understand, assess and make an offer based on the applicant’s final ‘pitch.’
