Amazon MX Player’s entrepreneurial reality series ‘Bharat Ke Super Founders’ witnessed a landmark moment as Gurugram-based startup Regrip secured a record Rs.20.25 crore investment, the highest funding closed in the show’s history so far. The deal not only set a new benchmark for the series but also reinforced the platform’s growing stature as a credible destination where ambitious ideas meet serious capital.

According to a press release issued by the platform, the episode stood out as a defining chapter for the show, highlighting how businesses rooted in real-world problem-solving and scale-driven execution are finding strong backing from seasoned investors. Regrip’s journey on the show reflected a growing investor appetite for sustainability-led innovation that is commercially viable and operationally robust.

Founded in July 2021 by Tushar Suhalka, Narender Kumar Yadav and Prateek Rao Yadav, Regrip is working to reshape India’s tyre industry through circular economy-driven solutions. Drawing from firsthand experience of challenges faced by transporters, the founders built a business focused on re-engineering discarded tyres using advanced retreading and shearing technologies. The model delivers high-quality tyres at nearly half the cost of new ones while addressing waste and safety concerns. Today, Regrip operates more than 16 retreading facilities and has also ventured into waste-to-energy projects, including India’s largest tyre-to-oil plant in Rajasthan.

During the pitch, the founders sought Rs.25 crore at a valuation of Rs.125 crore, a proposal that immediately drew interest from the panel. Ankur Mittal invoked his one-on-one card to take a deeper look at the business, while Dr. Aarti Gupta, Nitish Mittersain and Dr. A. Velumani extended equity offers, reflecting confidence in the company’s fundamentals and growth roadmap.

The Market made a particularly strong move, offering Rs.12.5 crore for 10 per cent equity along with Rs.5 crore in debt. Ankur Mittal, already an investor in Regrip, further reinforced his conviction by committing an additional Rs.2 crore, taking the total funding to Rs.20.25 crore.

The deal marked a watershed moment for ‘Bharat Ke Super Founders’, demonstrating the show’s ability to unlock large-scale investments for startups addressing pressing industrial and environmental challenges. It also underscored how clarity of vision, strong execution and sustainability-focused innovation can translate into investor confidence at scale.

Hosted and mentored by Suniel Shetty and supported by a diverse panel of investors, ‘Bharat Ke Super Founders’ continues to raise the bar for entrepreneurial storytelling in India. The series is currently streaming for free on Amazon MX Player across the MX Player app, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV and Airtel Xtreme, with new episodes releasing every Friday and Saturday.
