Mumbai: Amazon MX Player’s Bharat Ke Super Founders marked a major milestone for India’s entrepreneurial reality content space as Regrip closed a record-breaking ₹20.25 crore investment — the largest funding secured in the show’s history. The deal not only set a new benchmark for the series but also reinforced the platform’s growing credibility as a launchpad where serious capital meets scalable innovation.
Founded in July 2021 by Tushar Suhalka, Narender Kumar Yadav, and Prateek Rao Yadav, Gurugram-based Regrip is reimagining India’s tyre industry through circular economy-driven solutions. Drawing from firsthand insights into the challenges faced by transporters, the company focuses on re-engineering discarded tyres using advanced retreading and shearing technologies. This enables the delivery of high-quality tyres at nearly half the cost of new ones. Regrip currently operates a network of over 16 retreading facilities and has also expanded into waste-to-energy initiatives, including India’s largest tyre-to-oil plant in Rajasthan, positioning itself at the intersection of sustainability, safety, and scale.
Seeking ₹25 crore at a valuation of ₹125 crore, Regrip’s pitch quickly drew strong interest from the panel. Ankur Mittal exercised his one-on-one card to take a deeper look at the business, while Dr. Aarti Gupta, Nitish Mittersain, and Dr. A. Velumani extended equity offers, reflecting confidence in the company’s operational capabilities and long-term potential. The Market responded with exceptional enthusiasm, offering ₹12.5 crore for 10 percent equity along with ₹5 crore in debt. Further underscoring his belief as an existing investor, Ankur Mittal committed an additional ₹2 crore, taking the total investment to ₹20.25 crore.
The landmark deal represents a watershed moment for Bharat Ke Super Founders, highlighting the show’s ability to unlock large-scale funding for businesses tackling real-world challenges. It also demonstrated how strong execution, clear vision, and sustainability-led innovation can inspire investor confidence at scale.
Hosted and mentored by Suniel Shetty and backed by a panel of leading business tycoons, Bharat Ke Super Founders continues to elevate entrepreneurial storytelling in India, proving that when purpose aligns with performance, transformative outcomes follow.
Bharat Ke Super Founders is available to stream for free on Amazon MX Player, with new episodes dropping every Friday and Saturday.
