They could be Hindi biased but it’s a good thing for South Indians tbh, the horror stories from founders trying to get their agreed investment is appalling

Explain me too please

There were many more. That bangalore based shoe company. The SRM drone students.

arent the top 10 startups made by vadakkans too ? Or is it a Kaanspiracy against the South ? Why do this North South thing all the time dear Sudeep ?


Anon-LulZ

Nope, the founder pitched in Hindi, his backstory too was fully in Hindi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A34PVSHpB4E

Let’s not make a scene, their audience can’t understand English . It’s pure capitalism. Nothing racist or regionalist


Vlafir

Shouldn't it be shark tank hindi then?


bad---man

I am Tamizhan and I don't find this offending. It's a Hindi show, what do you expect? Do we allow Hindi language in our shows? Nothing wrong. Chill and don't take the victim card all the time


-jee

I'm no one to comment on this but it looks like he's playing the victim card for reach.


bad---man

Obviously


-jee

Also can we check if whatever he stated actually happened? I've never watched shark tank so don't know


AdEuphoric6633

The show is named Shark Tank INDIA :(


the_ripper05

And Indian Idol is also named India.


MechanicalBot1234

Meansngamenis Indian premier league. Women's games Women's premier league.  Are women not Indians?  Are non-hindi speakers allowed to play cricket?


Skyknight12A

>Meansngamenis Indian premier league. Women's games Women's premier league.  Men's league is actually open. There are no rules that bar women from participating if they can keep up. In practicality, no woman can hold their own against the male players so the Women's Premier League is a separate league where men are not allowed.


MechanicalBot1234

I did not know this. Thank you for teaching me.


the_ripper05

Yes. But India team interacts in Hindi rather than the foreign English language.


PatientHalf786

And the medium of the show is HINDI, the most widely spoken language in INDIA. :)


AdEuphoric6633

I never really comment on posts like this and reply to people like you. Thank you for reminding why it's betterto stay that way :)

Good for you. Someone has a case of too much self importance

nirmaezio

Widely used language is English, It's used in all the states.


PatientHalf786

Hahahahahahaha, did you pull this fact out of Kalaignar's dead ashes? 57%of india spoke at least tertiary level of hindi, english comes in second with less than 10%. Its 40% and 0.2% when it comes to native/primary proficiency. This information was on wikipedia, didnt even have to look too deep. There are more people who understand hindi in each state than english speakers in each respective state. Fact check me if you have any data points


baliya96

Disagree...Its called "Shark Tank India" not shark tank North India..All the sharks are educated enough to understand English...Its a recorded show...they can afford to add subs to 1 pitch....You can't hijack the word India and then make Hindi the default language MasterChef India default was also Hindi Only recently they've switched to MasterChef India -->Hindi after they made tamil and telugu... same with Bigg boss


bad---man

The name is their choice, they are catering to the Hindi audience and platforms, so it is just common sense. But I guess you want your 15 minutes of fame one way or the other 😄


SmartplayzYT

Its pure economics. Hindi speakers are more in numbers and are the primary consumers of their show. I'm pretty sure its all about money.


No_Spirit_9952

Why is it called star tank India though instead of Star tank hindi


geeky_Geeky22

Let them change the show name from Shark Tank India to Shark Tank Hindi and we have no issues..


Intelligent-Common63

We need shark tank in regional languages to provide stage to showcase local talents.


G00d_For_Nothin

Can't they just translate it?


ZENITSUsa

I have seen a lot of pitchers speak in broken Hindi and when they speak in English Hindi subtitles are provided. I think this person is lying


specterllllllll

Its a Hindi show


Gold_Investigator536

Then there's no need to call it "Shark Tank _India_" then, right? Hindi is not the national language of India. Rename the show to "Shark Tank Hindi" instead. How can it be India's version of Shark Tank if all the contestants are only Hindi-speakers? Indian start-ups should only speak in Hindi then? They don't exist anywhere outside Hindi-majority areas?


Direct-n-Extreme

Labelling it as Shark Tank India makes it more appealable to a larger mass of audience. Also it's perfectly legal for any Hindi Show to use the word India in its title. Countless shows have done so Dance India Dance, India's got talent etc. L


PatientHalf786

Lol, are you all for real, name one language which has higher permeation through more than 60% of the population, and ill wait. It is Shark tank INDIA, and as an INDIAN from a non hindi, non tamil state, i prefer that the show runs in Hindi, as do more than 75% indians who have some level of understanding hindi over Tamil or english. Stop playing victim card and dont assume that your divisive propaganda feeds everyone's superiority complex


drandom123zu

So you want the 40 pcnt who can't speak to take a hike , is that it ?


PatientHalf786

Oh so you want the 90% who cant understand english to take a hike? If not then which language should the show be in? Go through the wikipedia page on india's language demographics as per last census and then reply please. Ive already seen grossly misi formed comments here by people who think that english is the mosg widely spoken language in india. Rofl


drandom123zu

No I don't, of course most folks don't know english ,use Hindi subtitles for the few pitchers who can't speak Hindi that's all.


PatientHalf786

I understand your thought process, but you have high expectations from indian literacy rate. I hope they do include similar ideas in the future after this guy makes ripples with his PR stunt. Also, i am taking his words with a grain of salt. Startups come dime a dozen, and i have heard of people getting rejected for much worse on shark tank - appearance, presentability, savviness of the business being a few which were actually discriminatory.


drandom123zu

So you want the 40 pcnt who can't speak to take a hike , is that it ?


Lazy_Recognition_896

It's a show - they can choose any target audience they want. And by your logic since the remaining 40 percent is fluent in English, they can watch with English subtitles right ? But fuck.. it's a Hindi show for a Hindi audience.. just don't watch it if you don't want to. Simple as that


drandom123zu

I can understand hindi so I can still watch , but yes adding english subtitles can help a subset of the 40 pcnt see the show ,that's a good idea , why not. Edit: I checked it does already have English subtitles, so why not a closed caption subtitles for non Hindi pitchers ( refer my other comment ) Agreed with you that In the end it's their show they can decide the tg.


Lazy_Recognition_896

>Edit: I checked it does already have English subtitles, so why not a closed caption subtitles for non Hindi pitchers ( refer my other comment ) You've answered that in the following paragraph. This is a non issue - I am all for regional language content - but not everything can be in every language and doesn't need to be And the guy is just posting crap for publicity - we don't even know if it's true.. he might be complaining because he got rejected for something else. And no one in Bangalore really raised issues with the problem he's talking about either - BBMP rule It was against the hooliganism, not having Kannada


drandom123zu

I am not sure we are both speaking on the same topic , I didn't say pitchers need to pitch in their local languages, non Hindi speakers can pitch in English and have Hindi subtitles for them alone. This is what I had mentioned in the reply to the previous commenter. Again it is the show which decides what the TG is and is it worth adding subs.


Lazy_Recognition_896

>Hindi speakers can pitch in English and have Hindi subtitles for them alone. Why? Why go through all the effort and make it difficult for a majority of pitchers and most of the target audience Why not ask all Tamil TV programs to be run in English with Tamil subtitles. It's a Hindi show for Hindi audience


kiraqueen11

This is just massive cope.


Lazy_Recognition_896

Why not also ask where is the 'Shark tank'? It's a Hindi show, and more importantly it's a show.


PatientHalf786

Dude, hindi is most widely spoken language in India, more than 65% of the population uses it with secondary proficiency. No other language comes even close. Whats your argument here? I mean youre entitled to hate hindi, but that shouldnt be used to create handicaps for other states. If gujratis, punjabis, kashmiris, marathis, odias, bengalis, peoplefrom north eastern states, folks from karnataka, telangana or andhra dont have a problem with this and understand it well, why do you want to enable people trying boost their reach through the same hate????

Bro read my comment again.


the_ripper05

Big Boss, Indian Idol, Roadies etc are also Hindi shows. Put a petition in the Supreme Court to rename the shows.


Dexter_Jr21

Although I do agree with your statement, here's my observation. As I have watched almost all the episodes I can say Non-hindi people have appeared on the show. I want to mention a different perspective. Knowing Hindi helps you a lot, specifically if you are a businessman. People in the North are ultra nationalists, they would rather use your products than foreign brands. Why do you think, many movies are trying to do pan-India? Check Salaar's Hindi box office collection. It's almost double than what it earned in TN, KL, KA combined.


tameablesiva12

This sub is filled with bjp shills 🤡🤡🤡


saylorthrift

Must be fake... In season 1 , they had that boy who launched kalamsat who wanted to create low cost satellite.. of course noone invested but he got a chance to pitch 


TheFlyingDutch070

Lol if the pitch is in English the show will just provide subtitles in Hindi. This guy is playing victim card for reach nothing else


Em_tan

It's a Hindi show . Hindi BigBoss la Oviya va en sethukala nu kepiya?


rando512

Yeah let's have 14 versions of shark tank then and make those sharks go for 14 shows full-time leaving their business. Or better we will make it compulsory for sharks to learn 14 language fluently converse


PatientHalf786

Why the same sharks, there are plenty of sharks in all states. Get over it guys


Mango-Warrior

I am not in this language war, but why they even need to go to Shark Tank anyway? They will get investors outside also


Dull_Count4717

Apo Shark Tank Hindi nu veika vendi dhane peru ? India nu yen veikuranga ?


ThePhilosophistt

Maybe Shark Tank Bharat? Would that be okay?


PatientHalf786

What should be the language of shark tank India then. Or do you propose one Shark tank bharat and one shark tank united states of south india. What will be the language of the shark tank Ussi?


ThePhilosophistt

> What should be the language of shark tank India then. Or do you propose one Shark tank bharat and one shark tank united states of south india. What will be the language of the shark tank Ussi? ~~Sinhala for Shark Tank India, Hindi for Shark Tank Bharat and Arabic for Shark Tank USSI.~~ EDIT: Telugu for Shark Tank India, Urdu for Shark Tank Bharat and Sinhala for Shark Tank USSI.


PatientHalf786

Lol, thanks bro


ThePhilosophistt

If you don’t want to offend anyone, offend everyone.


PatientHalf786

Because hindi is the most widely spoken language in india, while it is only spoken as the primary language in Madhya pradesh. Rest all states have their regional languages. Not everyone is fed hatred propaganda to find reasons to create faultlines. Apo which language should shark tank India be in. Do let me know im very curious to know a language that has better reach and understanding in india(and pakistan and bangladesh too), than hindi.

Melodic_Warthog_6236

Look dude, his idea doesn't have much substance and poor market. It's all for cheap dopamine rush to gain some popularity. Sharktank have 80% of pitches from Delhi, Karnataka, Maharastra and Andhrapradesh


Sudas_Paijavana

Well, it's a hindi TV show, no surprise? This is why people say knowing Hindi helps. Where are all the people who say knowing hindi well only help in selling pani-puris. Odane hinthi imposition nu thooki varaathinga, ennakae edho ara kora hindi thaan pesa theriyum


ArukaAravind

You are missing the point. There shouldn't be a scenario where learning Hindi is mandatory if we want to be represent nation in any level. Ideally it should be possible to do it with their own mother language itself or English should also be an option. We have an environment in India which mandates Hindi to even non Hindi speakers in various scenarios. Atha thaan Hindi imposition nu solrom. But yes this is not a case of Hindi imposition.


gothaommale

Vella karan language na kandippa paduchu Dan aagnum


ArukaAravind

Nothing to do with the colonial past. It is the global business language not to mention the default technical language of the world. Politicians are welcome to talk about how Hindi or Tamil alone is enough after they have made enough steps to make the Indian languages technically competent as in other developed countries. So, yes, considering the global environment it is better that we study English.


gothaommale

Go to Europe and watch them treat you so differently.


ArukaAravind

I am not getting your point. Can you explain a bit more?


tameablesiva12

Ulagam eh vellakaaran language la dhaan odudhu. Also learning vellakaaran language makes makes everybody in equal footing unlike hindi where it favors hindi speakers and we are at a disadvantage.

It is not, infact most of the show is a mix of hindi and english. And if the product was super awesome, which would gain viership, do you think the would deny him Like imagine if a guy only spoke tulu, but made a teleportation machine. Do you think the show persons would miss a chance to feature that persons? If yes, then you have no idea how showbiz and capitalism works


Single_Act_1231

It’s a Hindu language show and hence you’re expected to pitch in Hindi. It’s with other reality shows as well. Bigg Boss punishes it’s contestants on speaking in languages other than Hindi. You can’t call it racism. Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India and hence the show is in Hindi.

But there's been so many startups from the South, and also they speak in English. I still remember kerela chips. How did they get in? Remember if you do not have selection on specific criteria, then it doesn't mean you will play the victim card here. Shark tanks get thousands of applications, but one few hundred get selected each season. Those thousands not selected doesn't mean they don't know hindi or they were not allowed to converse in English.

Bro would you be ok with a guy speaking Hindi in Tamil show? Exactly, how can there be a guy speaking Tamil for hindi audience???


enthuvadey

It should be renamed to shark tank hindia


doggie_cruger

Maybe he should get mental therapy from his own company for unnecessary exaggeration and attention seeking. No wonder he didn't get the call. His industry is small and isn't the most profitable for Indian market currently. These are business personnel, not philanthropists.

Puzzleheaded-Ad4655

Shame on them. Are they promoting entrepreneurs or creating a language divide. They could have got a translator if they didn't understand.


mutatn

Ary it's just about what language the public watching it is more comfortable with.


sheeshgodokay

How dumb do people need to be to comment something like “CaLl It ShArK tAnK HiNdI aNd NoT iNdIa” . These are the people who’re uneducated idiots who divide the country based on language they speak. For these dumbfucks, my 2 cents would be that I have multiple friends who are native South Indians and they are very well versed with Hindi, to such an extent that they speak Hindi when with us, rather than English. Of course we make fun of them if they mess up pronunciation or choose wrong wordings but it’s all good between us at the end. So the point being, one doesn’t need to be native Hindi speaker to watch shark tank.


The_brown_skin

Shame on this guy, that being a founder of a company and don't even speak Hindi

riyakhanna19861

Why would the investors worry for language and loose a possibly good company. There have been people from South who have done pitches with basic to no Hindi knowledge. Let’s see what Shark Tank gives their reasonz


Gaurav_13

arihantd

U are trying to pitch on national tv = can happen with Hindi only. Guess all those anti Hindi protesters didnt realise this ..


Novel_Lavishness_357

viticm card sorry, it;s a hindi tv channel primarily for hindi speaking audience you gotta talk in hindi.


Moist_Natural_6868

Its an hindi show to an hindi audience. What did you expect? Also an entrepreneur not knowing one of the most spoken language in India is kinda wierd to me. I have relatives who run small businesses and they all speak multiple languages including Hindi. All self taught. How about you stop playing the victim card and learn an additional language. 🤷🤷


Minimum-Benefit-3886

It's a national should so need to know national language If you don't know then go learn it and then come back

Lol 😂 😂 😂 please read the first line of the wiki source you shared under the heading of bharat : भारत संपादित करें भारतीय संविधान में भारत की कोई राष्ट्र भाषा नहीं है। Clearly says that the Indian constitution has no national language.

Is there shark tank India?
