It was recently announced that the show¡¯s season 2 would air anytime and finally, its promo is out. Out of everything else, the bone that¡¯s pricking everyone is the absence of Ashneer from this season.
Sony TV released the show¡¯s promo that has got the internet talking. Apart from Ashneer, Mama Earth¡¯s co-founder Ghazal Alagh is also skipping this season. The show is in a format where budding entrepreneurs bring up their unique idea on the show to raise investments and the show¡¯s sharks (investors) do their wise bids at negotiations for investing or rejecting the deal.

An interesting promo was shared by makers showing a woman bidding to buy groceries and mocking that vendor¡¯s price is too high and not even worth ?70. In a typical pitcher style, the vegetable seller explains his business model and comes to a calculation of his asset valuation at ?70 lakh. Cut to, he is seen in the shark tank dais which announces season 2 in a refreshed take. See promo here:
Shark Tank 2 is coming back with five sharks from the first season--Anupam Mittal (Founder and CEO of Shaadi.com), Aman Gupta (Co-Founder and CMO of boAt), Namita Thapar (Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals), Vineeta Singh (Co-Founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics), and Peyush Bansal (Founder & CEO of Lenskart.com). The show is seeing an addition of a new shark who is Amit Jain (CEO and Co-founder - CarDekho Group, InsuranceDekho.com).

For the unversed, even the show¡¯s host Rannvijay Singha has been replaced with Stand-up comedian Rahul Dua.
