The judges of Shark Tank India have taken a sharp jab at their Pakistani counterpart, Shark Tank Pakistan, after a series of clips from the show went viral on social media. The Indian panelists expressed their disapproval of what they perceived as unprofessional pitches and chaotic interactions on the Pakistani version of the show.
During a live Q&A session, one of the Shark Tank India judges remarked, “Bhai, kya ho raha hai wahan pe? It’s supposed to be a serious business platform, but it feels more like entertainment TV.”
Another judge pointed out the lack of focus on business models and financial details in the pitches. “Instead of discussing strategy and scalability, they’re spending too much time on drama and theatrics,” they added.
Despite the criticism, fans of Shark Tank Pakistan have defended their show, arguing that it caters to a different audience and has its unique charm. Some also pointed out that it highlights local entrepreneurs who might otherwise lack exposure.
The controversy has sparked debates online, with viewers comparing the formats and styles of the two shows. While Shark Tank Pakistan continues to gain traction for its relatability and humor, industry professionals are calling for a more structured approach to maintain its credibility.
Both sides seem to agree on one thing: promoting entrepreneurship is the ultimate goal, regardless of the format.
