The world’s number 1 business show, “Shark Tank”, is coming to Bangladesh! Bongo, Bangladesh’s leading entertainment platform, has signed a deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment to produce a local version of the hit series which has aired in more than 40 countries across the globe.
Robi has come onboard as the “Title Sponsor” of the show, alongside “Powered by” partner Startup Bangladesh. “Shark Tank” allows entrepreneurs to pitch their business idea to a panel of investors, known as “Sharks”, who can offer the entrepreneurs cash for a deal if they like the opportunity. “We are very excited to be a part of this show. Startup Bangladesh is committed to investing behind top quality entrepreneurs, and to help support young minds who are the future leaders of our country. This show is a great platform for entrepreneurs to get the exposure and potential investment from solid investors, to take their business to the next level,” said Zunaid Ahmed Palak, Minister of State for ICT.
Chief Commercial officer of Robi, Shihab Ahmad, said, “We are very proud to be associated with Bongo in introducing the globally acclaimed entrepreneurship platform, Shark Tank, for the budding young digital entrepreneurs of Bangladesh.”
