Pratham Mittal, the founder of Tetr College of Business and Masters' Union, has joined Season 5 of Shark Tank India for a Campus Special. In a recent interview, he expressed his desire to bring a more compassionate approach to the show, emphasizing the importance of kindness when dealing with young entrepreneurs. Mittal, who admits to experiencing 'imposter syndrome' about his new role, believes that reality TV can be 'ruthless.' He hopes to be a positive voice and provide constructive feedback to contestants rather than criticism. This sentiment is particularly relevant given the show's history of having moments that have been criticized by both pitchers and viewers. As a soft-spoken individual who values empathy, Mittal seems set to bring a refreshing perspective to the show. He has built a successful career by focusing on student entrepreneurship and creating educational institutions that encourage innovation and creativity. His approach is centered around providing a supportive environment for young people to learn and grow. Mittal's passion for student entrepreneurship is also driven by his desire to rehaul the traditional education system, which he believes is outdated and focused on outdated methods. He envisions a system that is more relevant to the needs of tomorrow's workforce and encourages students to take risks and pursue their passions. When asked about his fellow sharks, Mittal reveals that he has a close friendship with Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt Lifestyle, and has also known Peyush Bansal and Ritesh Agarwal through their shared connections in Delhi. Shark Tank India Season 5 is set to premiere on Sony LIV and Sony Entertainment Television from January 5, 2026, and viewers can expect to see a fresh perspective from Mittal as he navigates the world of reality TV and entrepreneurship.
