Shark Tank Bangladesh has hit a huge milestone in its debut season, racking up 10 crore BDT in investments! This achievement highlights the show's crucial role in boosting innovative businesses across the country.
Throughout the season, many groundbreaking ventures caught the Sharks' eyes. Standouts include 'Palki Motors' (the first electric vehicle company in Bangladesh), 'Booktionary' (an online bookstore), 'Pulse Tech' (a medical software company), 'Ostad' (a career counseling service), 'Notun Kichu' (a daycare service), and 'Motsho' (a seafood business), among others.
The 10 crore BDT milestone was reached in the electrifying 10th episode aired last Friday. This episode featured four unique businesses, each securing investments from the Sharks.
Shotota Traders

Soya Gallery

Episode 10 of Shark Tank Bangladesh showcased the incredible diversity and innovation of local entrepreneurs. While not all businesses secured deals, they all demonstrated unique strengths.
