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.
