Big Risks, Bigger Bets: Bharat Ke Super Founders Unlocks Fresh Capital and High-Impact Deals This Week on Amazon MX Player ~Bharat Ke Super Founders is available to stream for free on Amazon MX Player, with new episodes dropping every Friday and Saturday~ MUMBAI, India – 24th January, 2026: This week on Amazon MX Player’s entrepreneurial reality series, Bharat Ke Super Founders, the pitch room witnessed some of the season’s most defining moments yet. Bold ideas were tested under pressure, and real capital moved with conviction. With a ₹100 crore investment pool at stake, reaffirming its commitment to founders willing to take real risks and build for the long haul. Pitches this week were evaluated by a diverse panel of tycoons, including Dr. A. Velumani, Ankur Mittal, Srini Srinivasan (Managing Director, Kotak Alternate Asset Manager), Shivam Mishra (Co-Founder, String Ventures), and Ahana Gautam (Founder & CEO, Open Secret). Hosted and mentored by the iconic Suniel Shetty, the discussions went far beyond polished decks, digging into belief, scalability, and the cost of ambition. One of the most talked-about moments came from Ulti-Mate Parenting, founded by Satish Kshirsagar and Amruta Jog. The founders pitched a parenting app designed to help parents build stronger bonds with children aged between 3 to 13, encouraging life skills and emotional resilience. Despite a personal investment of ₹95 lakh and a strong, purpose-driven narrative, the pitch faced tough questioning around market viability. While Shanti Mohan used her one-on-one card to probe the founders’ thinking, the room ultimately extended an acquisition-only offer testing whether the founders would trade their vision for capital. Choosing belief over money, the Ulti-Mate Parenting team walked away, creating one of the week’s most powerful non-deal moments. The biggest capital movement of the week came from Cosmoserve, a space-tech startup founded by former ISRO scientist Dr. Chiranjeevi. Drawing on his experience across missions like Chandrayaan and Gaganyaan, the founder presented an ambitious plan to build space infrastructure solutions and remove 100 dead satellites by 2028. The pitch drew multiple offers before closing a ₹5.5 crore deal, led by Dr. A. Velumani with ₹5 crore and joined by Srini Srinivasan with ₹50 lakh, marking one of the largest single deals of the season so far. Adding to the week’s momentum was Babai Tiffins, a heritage South Indian brand rooted in Nellore, known for its homestyle cooking and iconic breakfast flavours. The pitch brought legacy, consistency, and cultural resonance into the room, highlighting how traditional businesses continue to find relevance and scale. Episode momentum carried forward with Babai Kitchen, a breakfast-focused, Andhra-style vegetarian QSR brand led by Ravi Morampudi. With close to 1.9 lakh monthly orders and ₹7 crore in monthly revenue, the brand spotlighted a clear opportunity in India’s largely unorganised breakfast QSR segment reinforcing the growing investor interest in scalable food businesses. He pitched a valuation of ₹6 crore for 5% equity, winning unanimous confidence from the tycoons, who backed both the idea and the product by investing in his business. The week closed with a strong purpose-led deal from RxMen, a men’s health ecosystem addressing sexual and hormonal wellness, an area often clouded by stigma. With over 10,000 men already treated and ₹9 crore in annual revenue, the founders secured a ₹30 lakh investment, underlining the show’s commitment to businesses solving real, deeply personal problems. Adding to the diversity of ideas, Shhe Foods also entered the pitch room with a nutrition-first brand built specifically for women, blending Ayurvedic wisdom with modern nutritional science to address different life stages.

Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal and Nitin Gadkari come together for Sadak Suraksha Abhiyan 2026 New Delhi, 23 January: The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), under Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, is spearheading Sadak Suraksha Abhiyan (SSA) 2026, a nationwide public awareness campaign focused on promoting responsible road behaviour. Joining the minister for this important national movement are Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, acclaimed actors Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, along with Kay Kay Menon, renowned singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan, and celebrated singer-composer Swanand Kirkire. The campaign returns with a grand telethon on CNN-News18 on January 25th in Mumbai, marking the fourth consecutive year of this flagship initiative. According to official MoRTH data, India recorded 4,87,707 road crashes in 2024, resulting in 1,77,175 fatalities an average of nearly 485 lives lost every day. Alarmingly, young adults between the ages of 18 and 45 account for over two-thirds of these deaths, underscoring the urgent need for sustained awareness and education at a national scale. Risky behaviours such as overspeeding, rash driving, dangerous overtaking, jaywalking, non-use of helmets and seatbelts, and failure to provide timely assistance during the critical golden hour continue to be major contributors to road fatalities. These stark figures point to a clear imperative: long-term road safety interventions and behaviour change must be prioritised. The theme for SSA 2026 is ‘Kartavya’ (Duty), emphasising that road safety is not just a regulatory concern but a shared civic responsibility. Reflecting this shift, the campaign’s tagline—“Parvaah Se, Kartavya Tak”—signals a move from concern and awareness to conscious, responsible action on the roads. The campaign seeks to instill a strong sense of responsibility among citizens while promoting disciplined, informed, and empathetic behaviour across India’s diverse road ecosystem. Designed as a high-impact awareness initiative, the event will combine engaging conversations and performances, all aimed at driving behavioural change and strengthening public commitment to road safety. Each edition of Sadak Suraksha Abhiyan has been anchored around distinct pillars that define its focus. The 2026 edition is built on four key pillars: Kartavya (Duty): Reinforcing every citizen’s responsibility towards road safety through awareness and education. Kayda (Discipline): Promoting disciplined behaviour and sustained compliance for safer roads. Kavach (Shield): Highlighting the role of technology and AI as protective tools through innovation and implementation. Kranti (Change): Enabling a transformative, community-driven road safety movement with lasting impact. Speaking on the initiative, Santosh Menon, Chief Content Officer, Network18, said, “Sadak Suraksha Abhiyan represents a collective commitment to making our roads safer—bringing together government, institutions, industry, media, and citizens on a shared platform of responsibility. This year’s theme, Kartavya, reinforces that road safety is the duty of every citizen. Through collective ownership and sustained behavioural change, we can move from intent to real impact.” Puneet Singhvi, Chief Strategy Officer, Network18 Group, added, “We applaud the Ministry’s continued leadership in driving this sustained initiative and are committed to amplifying its message, deepening public awareness, and encouraging responsible road behaviour that can significantly reduce preventable crashes and save lives.”
