After
hosting
the
popular
game
show
'Bollywood
Ka
Boss'
on
TV,
Boman
will
now
be
seen
hosting
what
one
may
call
as
'Game
shows
ka
Boss'!
The
show
is
called
'The
Pitch'
and
will
be
aired
on
UTV
Bloomberg.
In
this
quest
for
excellence,
Boman
Irani
will
see
the
aspirants
through
the
challenges
thrown
to
them
by
some
of
India's
most
prominent
business
leaders
like
Naina
Lal
Kidwai,
Kishore
Biyani,
N.
Damodaran,
Karan
Johar
and
others
across
diverse
industries.
Each
week
on
a
fresh
episode,
a
business
leader
will
design
and
assign
business
tasks
to
the
participants.
The
tasks
will
be
designed
to
challenge
the
aspirants
on
the
most
critical
skills
required
to
be
a
successful
entrepreneur
who
will
receive
funding
of
upto
Rs.
5
crore
to
start
their
business.
In
short,
the
makers
of
the
show
are
looking
for
the
talented
entrepreneur
to
encourage
the
spirit
of
entrepreneurship
in
the
country.
Boman
Irani
confirmed
that,
"I
am
very
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
show
as
I
am
truly
convinced
with
the
philosophy
of
promoting
entrepreneurship.
The
show
will
not
only
identify
the
next
big
idea
in
India
but
will
also
help
the
winner
see
the
light
of
day-
offering
them
the
funding
to
make
the
idea
come
alive.
I
am
eagerly
waiting
to
learn
from
these
bright
and
talented
sparks
of
emerging
India
and
test
myself
over
the
challenges
set
by
the
stalwarts
of
India." When
asked
about
his
association
with
the
show,
he
said,
"Actually,
the
whole
thing
started,
when
my
son
started
off
with
his
own
event
management
company.
When
I
heard
that,
I
was
so
very
happy
to
see
the
sense
of
entrepreneurship
in
my
son.
That's
when
I
realized
that,
given
a
chance,
I
will
surely
support
entrepreneurship
in
our
own
country.
And
this
is
exactly
what
we
will
be
doing
through
this
show."
'The
Pitch'
will
be
going
on
air
from
October
of
this
year.
