Get ready for the much-anticipated launch of Shark Tank Nepal in 2025! The globally renowned business reality show is making its way to Nepal, bringing together visionary entrepreneurs and top-tier investors to create a dynamic platform for business growth and investment.
Since its inception in 2001 as Money Tigers on Nippon TV in Japan, Shark Tank has become the world’s number one business reality TV show, with over 50 international versions in 2024. From Shark Tank in the United States, Mexico, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan to Lions’ Den in Germany and Dragons’ Den in the United Kingdom, the show has been a global phenomenon, empowering entrepreneurs and inspiring millions.
Shark Tank Nepal will be produced by Himalaya Television HD, who have secured the exclusive license for its production and broadcast. With strong support from people across Nepal, from new entrepreneurs to seasoned business owners, the show promises to be a game-changer for the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
In the inaugural season of Shark Tank Nepal, the Sharks will be Nepal’s top business tycoons, all High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) with a passion for investing in promising businesses. These Sharks are set to bring their extensive knowledge, experience, and financial resources to the table, offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to take their businesses to the next level.
