New Delhi, 21 September, 2026: Recur Club and Rusk Media announced the return of Bharat Ke Super Founders with Season 2. The announcement was made at Building in Bharat 5.0, Recur Club's flagship event, in the presence of industry leaders including Binod Kumar Homagai (Co-Founder and COO, WOW! Momo), Saurabh Munjal (Co-Founder and CEO, Lahori Zeera) and Ahana Gautam (Founder and CEO, Open Secret), alongside 120+ founders and investors from the ecosystem.
Season 2 will target ₹100 crore in disbursements this year across selected founders and startups through Tycoons and Market by RECUR Club. The platform received 10,000+ registrations for the new season, reflecting strong interest from founders across India.
A core differentiator of Bharat Ke Super Founders since its first season is the combination of two investment pathways on the same stage. Tycoons evaluate and invest equity directly in founders. Simultaneously, Market by Recur offers debt, equity and grant opportunities to participating startups. This dual structure ensures founders get multiple funding opportunities in one place.
Abhinav Sherwal, Co-creator of Bharat Ke Super Founders and Co-founder at Recur Club, said, "Every founder needs two things to scale: access to capital and a platform to be discovered. Season 1 proved that founders don't just want funding, they want right advice and real opportunities. Season 2 is about delivering both at scale across India."
Mayank Yadav, Co-creator of Bharat Ke Super Founders and Co-founder of Rusk Media, added, "We see Bharat Ke Super Founders as the platform where founders actually get discovered and funded. It's not just about the stage, it's about building a movement around Indian entrepreneurship. With Season 2, we're doubling down on what works and creating real paths for founders to scale."
Hosted and mentored by actor and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty, Season 1 delivered ₹130+ crore in funding commitments, including ₹44 crore through debt, while generating 1 billion impressions across platforms. The season also recorded a 9.3 IMDb rating and was ranked the #1 show by Omax Media.
With Bharat Ke Super Founders Season 2, RECUR Club and Rusk Media aim to expand opportunities for founders across sectors and geographies, creating greater access to capital and multiple pathways to build and scale businesses from Bharat.
