"India has no shortage of founders or capital. What has been missing is a better way to connect the two.

The summit closes with the trailer launch of Chapter 1 of the Shubh Labh Trilogy, Kal Ke Krorepati, show hosted by actor Amit Sadh and will be streaming on JioHotstar. The show features revenue-stage founders, including entrepreneurs from smaller cities, and investors are expected to support businesses beyond the initial investment. The summit also serves as an early-stage selection platform for the trilogy's second chapter.
Amit Sadh, host & mentor on Shubh Labh Chapter 1 - Kal Ke Krorepati says “I am delighted to be associated with Shubh Labh, Chapter 1 – Kal Ke Krorepati. Having spent years in the film industry, I see an interesting parallel between filmmaking and building a business. Both demand conviction, calculated risk-taking and the ability to navigate uncertainty while staying committed to a larger vision. It is inspiring to see the vision and ambition of entrepreneurs across the country, and I am glad to contribute to a platform that offers these entrepreneurs the visibility, and mentorship to take their businesses forward.
