    'Shark Tank India Season 3' premiered with a fresh lineup of entrepreneurs, introducing 12 sharks, including the debut of Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal. While the first episode showcased familiar faces like Amit Jain, Anupam Mittal, Vineeta Singh, Namita Thapar, and Aman Gupta, the subsequent episode marked Goyal's entrance, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.

    Goyal's Debut Sparks Comparisons To Ashneer Grover

    Goyal's sharp questioning style and insightful remarks during pitches drew attention, with fans quick to draw comparisons to Ashneer Grover, the popular Shark who did not return for the second season. A sentiment echoed by a fan who referred to Goyal as the "new soft Ashneer Grover in Shark Tank India S3." Social media buzzed with comments like "Deepinder Goyal is stealing the show" and "Yeh Shark toh danger hai (This Shark is dangerous)," expressing the audience's positive reception to his debut.


    In a recent episode, Goyal showcased his attention to detail during a pitch with gym owners. He pointed out a crucial flaw in their company ad, where the phone number displayed had 9 digits, and highlighted grammatical errors. Emphasising the importance of presentation on TV, he remarked, "Show your customer some love and respect."

    The Zomato co-founder's approach also garnered praise, with one user stating, "Love Deepinder bro. He is better than Ashneer." Another user drew parallels between Goyal and Peyush Bansal, noting, "Deepinder Goyal is the new Peyush Bansal. Both don't like to invest less." Such comparisons highlight the impact Goyal has made in his early appearances on the show.


    Zomato Co-founder's Background

    Goyal, alongside his co-founder Pankaj Chaddah, founded Zomato in the year 2008, growing it into a global brand recognised for online food delivery and restaurant exploration services. His excitement about joining 'Shark Tank India Season 3' was evident in a tweet where he expressed a willingness to step outside his comfort zone and contribute unique perspectives.

    As 'Shark Tank India Season 3' continues on SonyLiv, Deepinder Goyal's presence adds a new dynamic to the show, keeping audiences engaged and drawing parallels to the charismatic Ashneer Grover.
