He may be a reserved person in life, but the experience of being an investor on Shark Tank India has made him a public figure whom people aspire to emulate. Coming on board as the new shark in the second instalment of the hit franchise was not an easy decision for CarDekho co-founder and CEO Amit Jain. He hopes that his wisdom and experiences inspire others to become entrepreneurs and help strengthen India’s economy.
“I caught up with the first season of the show when my friends and my children started talking about it and then made pitches to us. I wondered, what is this show that is changing the foundation of the country? When we were kids, our parents would talk about stable jobs. I was seeing a new breed [of thought] coming up with this show. It had a huge impact on the fundamental foundation of entrepreneurship in the country,” says Jain, adding that he feels strongly about the subject, especially since he leaped into entrepreneurship after coming from a 9-to-5 job background. “When the start-up phase had just begun, parents insisted that their kids were jobless. Now it is a matter of pride that their kids are into start-ups. There has been a big shift in the mindset.”
