Mission Start Ab - Prime Video series spotlights resilient entrepreneurs on a global stage

Mission Start Ab, an original reality series, will launch on Prime Video. December 19 will mark the global debut of the competitive series, which will centre on grassroots entrepreneurs in India and tell the tales of their tenacity, grit, and dogged persistence. In partnership with the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India, the series was created. Its goal is to find entrepreneurs from all around India and give them the tools they need to build the next Unicorn. In addition to their roles as judges and investors, three of India's most seasoned entrepreneurs—Kunal Bahl of Titan Capital, Anisha Singh of She Capital, and Manish Chowdhary of Wow Skin Science—serve as mentors to help the contestants hone the skills necessary to grow their startups. Indrajit Ray is the executive producer of the Endemol Shine India production Mission Start Ab, which Srimanta Sengupta directed, and Masaba Gupta and Cyrus Sahukar serve as the hosts.

Diverse entrepreneurial landscape

A wide range of cutting-edge businesses and entrepreneurs from fields including robotics, financial technology, education technology, health and wellness, and marketplaces enabled by technology come together at Mission Start Ab. The show gives people a front-row seat to all the exciting new developments happening in India's grassroots communities. Bold ambitions, honed abilities, personal sacrifices, and a desire to solve real-world problems are showcased in the distinctive stories of these founders, who came from humble origins. The show not only helps these 10 entrepreneurs get a head start on developing ideas tailored to India, but it also provides a priceless resource for would-be innovators all throughout the nation through a combination of challenging assignments, engaging exercises, and one-on-one mentoring sessions.
