A new shark is making waves in the entrepreneurial waters of ‘Shark Tank India Season 5’. Mohit Yadav, Co-founder of the popular skincare brand Minimalist, is joining the panel this season, bringing with him a mix of scientific thinking, sharp business acumen, and no-nonsense clarity. Known for his straightforward approach and commitment to building with purpose, Mohit’s entry is expected to add a refreshing dynamic to the hit business reality show.
According to an official press release, Mohit Yadav is a results-driven entrepreneur and a Chartered Accountant with over 15 years of experience spanning finance, technology, and consumer brands. He co-founded Minimalist — a brand that redefined India’s skincare landscape with its science-backed formulations and radical transparency — transforming it from a bootstrapped startup into a global D2C powerhouse.
A Gold Medalist Chartered Accountant, Mohit secured an All India Rank 26 from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and holds a bachelor’s degree in commerce from the University of Rajasthan. His ability to blend analytical precision with creative brand-building has earned him recognition as one of India’s most disciplined and insightful new-age founders.
Speaking about his new role, Mohit Yadav said, “From formulating with potent ingredients to backing potent ideas, my philosophy is simple: substance over static. I’m excited to be a part of ‘Shark Tank India 5’ and partner with entrepreneurs who build with purpose and lead with radical transparency.”
As ‘Shark Tank India 5’ returns, viewers can expect Mohit to bring his trademark candor, practical insights, and an eye for scalable, science-led ventures to the table. His presence is likely to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs to build with integrity, resilience, and innovation at the core.
