Shark Tank India Season 3 Update: Shark Tank India, the renowned business reality show recently unveiled the addition of a new judge. Azhar Iqubal, the Co-founder and CEO of the widely acclaimed news aggregation app Inshorts, is set to join the ranks. The announcement came just days after the confirmation of OYO CEO Ritesh Agarwal and Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal’s participation in the show.
The show’s producers took to social media to disclose, “The news is out. Introducing the newest Shark. Azhar Iqubal, Co-founder and CEO, Inshorts to the Tank.”
Who is Azhar Iqubal?
While Azhar Iqubal’s name might be new to some, his journey to success has been nothing short of remarkable. He is an alumnus of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi. Azhar is currently 30 years old. He is the co-founder and CEO of InShorts app.
The story behind Inshorts is one of entrepreneurial vision and determination. Originating as a Facebook page, Azhar, alongside his partners Deepit Purkayastha and Anunay Arunav, laid the foundation of the venture. Their relentless efforts culminated in the official launch of the Inshorts application in 2013, quickly gaining traction and acclaim.
Azhar’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident from the early days of his education. Despite being a student at IIT Delhi from 2009 to 2012, he made the bold decision to drop out and pursue his vision, a decision that has undoubtedly borne fruit.
About joining Shark Tank India Season 3, Azhar said, “Ten years ago, as I was stepping into my 20s, I took a leap of faith and dropped out of IIT Delhi to start Inshorts. The last decade has been a wild ride, full of excitement. Those tireless nights resulted in making a mark in the social media industry. A decade later, as I step into my 30s, we are today one of the largest players in our space with 1.2 crore Indians using our apps everyday.”
“On Shark Tank India Season 3, I want to tell the youth of India that where you come from and whether you have a degree or not does not matter; what matters is whether you have hunger, discipline and focus. And if you have it in you, I am here to support you in fulfilling your entrepreneurial dream,” he added.
Shark Tank India Season 3 will start streaming soon on Sony LIV.
