The world of business is evolving rapidly, but many aspiring entrepreneurs still struggle to find the right support and opportunities. Recognising this gap, two young entrepreneurs, Krishnamani Kannan and Arun Kumar have launched SHARKZ, a reality show designed to empower regional entrepreneurs by providing them with a platform to pitch their ideas in their native language.

The show brings together experienced investors and mentors to guide and support founders as they navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship. With its unique format and regional focus, SHARKZ aims to inspire and uplift the next generation of Indian entrepreneurs to global level.

SHARKZ co-founder and Singapore-based businessman Mr. Krishnamani Kannan has dedicated his career for more than 20 years as he actively supports startups through his role as an angel investor over the past ten years.

The other co-founder Mr. Arun Kumar serves as the founder of ParkQwik while using his knowledge and innovation for this initiative. He dedicates himself to developing future business leaders because of his experience running businesses


“Great purposes don't have any language, and neither should opportunities,” says Arun Kumar. “Our goal is to build a business space where success is committed by passion, vision, innovation, and hard work—not by the language you speak.

”SHARKZ is more than just an investment stage—it is a complete habitat for aspiring business leaders. On SHARKZ, startups will not only receive financial support but will also earn access to top industry mentors, business development tools, and strategically planned guidance.

“The platform will connect entrepreneurs with knowledgeable, experienced investors and business leaders from across the industry, ensuring that they receive proper guidance and support to expand their business successfully.”

By excluding language barriers, SHARKZ allows entrepreneurs to present their business ideas confidently, whether they are from small towns or big cities. The platform promotes collaborations, allowing founders to learn from each other and grow in supportive environments and have healthy competition.

As SHARKZ continues to scale, it remains committed to a healthy environment, fairness, inclusivity, and empowering entrepreneurs to grow in a global marketplace. Success will no longer be scaled by language but by determination, innovation, and the craze to create and achieve the extraordinary. - TWL Bureau
