Thoughts on Indian sharks

Are Indian sharks (just like the US ones) bad examples or mid examples of what true entrepreneurship is?

Like the best line up would not be of people from 2000 doing a matrimony portal or a loss making Chinese whitelabelled headphone company or a company inherited from daddy?

Deepinder from Zomato, guy from Swiggy, Ritesh from Oyo, Kamath brothers, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Bhavesh Agarwal these are few of the best we could have. I guess they are too busy doing important things.

Thoughts?

According to me best lineup for shark tank india would be Sridhar Vembu (Zoho), Nithin Kamath (Zerodha), Naveen Tewari (InMobi), Sachin Bansal (Flipkart & Navi), Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Paytm).

These are the OGs of Indian startup ecosystem and have actually built something. But I guess they are too busy that's why we are getting other not so good judges who join shark tank just for their own product marketing.

How many of heard of these people before shark tank. If the answer is none, their marketing is complete for the IPO

boat walo ne cluttered unbranded mobile accessories market ko aise pakda hai ki gavn gavn me boat earphones ka recall h junta me.

oyo guy what's he done successfully is nothing sort of revolutionary, idk why people here dislike him.

Don't know much about others but I would have liked single judge, someone aged 60+ they'll have more insights to offline India if they've been selling stuff for past 20-30 years.
