JetSetGo Aviation founder Kanika Tekriwal is set to make her debut as a Shark on the upcoming Season 5 of ‘Shark Tank India’, marking a major addition to the show’s panel of business leaders. Known for reshaping the private aviation landscape in India, Kanika brings with her a mix of ambition, sharp business sense and a reputation for building against the odds.

According to the announcement, the entrepreneur—often credited with transforming how private jets and helicopter charters operate in the country—will step into the tank with a mission to guide and back new-age founders. The development comes as part of the show’s continued effort to foster India’s startup momentum through diverse industry expertise.

Tekriwal’s journey has long been held as an inspiring example in Indian entrepreneurship. From facing initial scepticism about launching an aviation startup in a highly regulated and competitive sector, she went on to scale JetSetGo into one of the country’s leading private aviation companies. Under her leadership, the company has focused on smarter access, sharper services and improved operational efficiency, helping redefine the charter experience for customers.

Speaking about her new role, Kanika Tekriwal said, “India is brimming with ambition, and a new generation of entrepreneurs are ready to lead on the global stage. Having built an industry by spotting and filling white spaces, I’m eager to share insights from aviation and help founders unlock the opportunities waiting to be seized. I’m excited to be part of the upcoming season of Shark Tank India and work with the game-changers shaping New India.”

With her entry, the show continues to expand its panel with leaders who represent emerging sectors. As excitement builds for the new season, viewers can expect a fresh perspective from one of India’s most dynamic aviation entrepreneurs when ‘Shark Tank India’ returns.
