Mumbai, India – 9th December 2025: Ideabaaz, India’s fast-rising startup reality show, is set to create history this Sunday as a startup clinches a jaw-dropping ₹8.5 crore investment, the biggest single deal ever seen on Indian television. The landmark moment will unfold in the show’s 15th episode, marking the powerful mid-season point of its 26-episode debut season.
Airing exclusively on Zee TV and ZEE5, Ideabaaz has quickly established itself as a serious platform for entrepreneurial ambition and real business outcomes. Backed by IDFC First Bank as its Startup Banking Partner, the show has become a bridge between bold ideas and credible capital.
The upcoming episode promises to be one of the most defining chapters in the show’s journey so far. What makes this deal historic is not just the size of the investment, but the strong signal it sends to India’s startup ecosystem that television can be a real, game-changing launchpad for founders.
Speaking about the milestone, the Ideabaaz team shared that the mid-season mark was always expected to be impactful, but surpassing all previous investment records on Indian TV has exceeded expectations. With 10 more episodes still to come, the momentum is only expected to grow.
Ideabaaz continues to discover, nurture and scale promising Indian startups, giving them not just funding, but also national visibility, mentorship and credibility.
IDEABAAZ airs every Saturday and Sunday at 6:30 PM & 11 PM on Zee TV and streams on Zee 5 in multiple languages.
