Ashneer Grover Exits Shark Tank India, Enters Pitchers 2

Bharat Pe co-founder and former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover has now joined the web series Pitchers for season two. In a new promo shared by Zee5 on its YouTube channel, the characters of Naveen Kasturia, Abhay Mahajan, and Arunabh Kumar stand inside a lift. They discuss and regret missing a chance to meet Ashneer Grover to pitch their business idea.

In a latest promo of Pitchers 2, the three lead characters, Naveen, Mandal, and Yogi are regretting losing a chance to pitch their business idea to Ashneer. As Naveen cribs, “Our company is going down just like this lift,” we hear Ashneer’s favourite line from Shark Tank India, “Bhai, kya kar raha hai tu?” He then appears on the screen, telling the three guys, he recognises talent, “Jab tak hai Grover, it’s not over. So, when and where are you going to make your pitch?”

Naveen and Arunabh characters inform him that the pitching will take place on Zee5 in the new season. Ashneer nodded and walked away saying, "See you there." An amazed Abhay said, "Kya banda hai yeh (What a man), Gulshan Grover."

Ashneer became a household name after Shark Tank India season one and got himself a dedicated fanbase. Now, his fans are elated to have him back on the screen. One of them commented on his tweet, “There could only have been one person that could have made up for the loss of Jeetu! Super to see you.” Another wrote, “Awesome !!!, A new tagline for you after watching this trailer A Grover – Money man.”

Ashish Vidyarthi also rounds out the cast of the five-episode show. Fans of the series will miss Jitendra Kumar, who was one of the lead roles in season one.

The first season of Pitchers, which premiered in 2015, revolved around the trials and tribulations of a group of young entrepreneurs who quit their day jobs in order to pursue their start-up venture. The new chapter will see the viewers reunite with these entrepreneurs two-and-a-half years after their tech start-up Pragati.AI was founded.
