It is meant to be a platform that will help develop a robust start-up ecosystem that fosters innovation and drives growth for promising business ideas irrespective of the sector they operate in.”
The show will curate and present 50 of the most innovative, disruptive and even outlandish business ideas to emerge from Indian households.

Commentimg on the announcement Bhargava said, “With the world we live in rapidly going digital, it is no longer just about digital marketing. The digital medium is today playing the role of a catalyst and multiplier across every single facet of the economy. I am really excited to be a part of The Vault, and firmly believe I will be able to help entrepreneurs gain a competitive advantage through my digital expertise.”
“My own venture started off as a dream and I know first-hand the kind of hardships any entrepreneur can face. I have full faith that the platform The Vault provides will give wings to many an entrepreneurial dream in the country,” said Rahul Singh.
Speaking about the show, Mittal agreed with his fellow investors on The Vault, adding, “Having been an entrepreneur myself, I have been actively involved in the country’s start-up landscape and have funded several promising ventures in my own personal capacity. The Vault, apart from its obvious infotainment value, is also a social responsibility aimed at nurturing entrepreneurship across the country by educating viewers about how businesses are often created from scratch with nothing but a vision to change things.”
