Radhika Gupta, the MD and CEO of Edelweiss AMC, has clarified on X that her investments in Shark Tank will be in a personal capacity. This means that she will not be using any funds from Edelweiss AMC to invest in the startups that she pitches on the show.

"Thanks for all the love for the Shark Tank.  Just to clarify, my investments will only be in a personal capacity. Keep the ❤️ coming!" Gupta wrote on X.

The Shark Tank India is the Indian equivalent of the American show Shark Tank, in which aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their products or services to a panel of investors or sharks, who then decide whether or not to invest in their businesses.

The first season lasted from December 2021 to February 2022, while the second started in January 2023 and lasted until March 2023.
