About Show

What is Shark Tank?

Shark Tank Nepal is a Nepali-language adaptation of this global franchise, airing on Himalaya Television. This initiative, launched by Himalaya Television in 2021, marks a significant effort to bring the international entrepreneurial format to a Nepali audience. The debut season of Shark Tank Nepal was released in 2025. Its primary objective is to promote business development and celebrate entrepreneurship in a country rich in potential but historically constrained by limited opportunities for emerging ventures.
