Favcy Venture Builders Acquires Kal Ke Krorepati

When vision meets execution, magic happens. Today, we're thrilled to announce that Kal Ke Krorepati is now part of the Favcy Group.

Strategic acquisition and streaming partnership positions Favcy to bridge India's $3+ trillion legacy business ecosystem with emerging startups

Favcy Venture Builders has acquired Kal Ke Krorepati and announced Chote Sheher Bade Sapne (S2) will soon be streaming exclusively on a popular OTT, bringing Bharat’s most authentic founder stories to a national stage. 

Meanwhile, applications are open for founders to participate in the upcoming season, with Favcy also inviting investors, legacy business leaders to join the movement.

The live platform where reality television meets trusted acceleration connects visionary founders from Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities with an exclusive panel of business owners and seasoned investors. The acquisition gives Favcy full creative and strategic control. 

At the same time, the partnership significantly expands reach across India's startup ecosystem, accelerating Favcy's mission to become India's leading venture-building powerhouse focused on Bharat. The move comes as India's startup ecosystem undergoes a fundamental shift toward profitability and sustainable growth. With valuations being grounded and revenue taking precedence over growth-at-all-costs, the acquisition positions Favcy at the intersection of two critical economic forces: India's legacy businesses that contribute over 75% of national GDP, and the emerging startup ecosystem building lean, capital-efficient companies.

"This isn't just a show anymore, it's becoming a movement," said Pranav Chaturvedi, Founder and Managing Director at Favcy Venture Builders.

"Kal Ke Krorepati has always aligned with our core mission of discovering India's next great businesses in places the world doesn't always look. With this acquisition and our OTT partnership, we now control the narrative, the reach, and the runway to take it 10X bigger."

Unifying Content, Capital, and Community

Since its inception, Favcy Group has been the operational backbone of Kal Ke Krorepati, curating founders, vetting businesses, and powering the accelerator program. The acquisition now unifies content, capital, and community under one roof, creating an integrated ecosystem that builds, funds, and scales startups from pitch to growth. The timing is strategic. Legacy businesses in India are projected to drive 80–85% of GDP by 2047, up from the current 75%, representing one of the world's largest legacy business ecosystems. Yet these legacy business builders have had limited platforms to engage with India's startup economy.

"Great stories deserve great platforms," said Milapsinh Jadeja, Creative Director of Kal Ke Krorepati under Favcy.

"We're reimagining the show as more than entertainment. It's going to be a benchmark for what credible startup content looks like – real founders, real capital, no drama for TRP."

Chote Sheher Bade Sapne (S2) will soon premiere on one of the popular OTT, showcasing revenue-first founders from across Bharat. The upcoming season is already in the works, with applications open for founders eager to pitch their ventures and investors invited to participate in building India’s next generation of businesses.

"As we gear up for the upcoming season, our mission remains unchanged: to bridge the gap between legacy business builders and emerging entrepreneurs," added Chaturvedi. "Powered by Favcy Venture Builders and hosted on OTT, we're not just another media company creating a TV show. We're an investment ecosystem with a media initiative, ensuring every startup is pitch-ready and every deal has post-show traction built in."

Building for Bharat's Economic Future

As India's venture-building landscape evolves, Favcy's vision extends beyond traditional metro-centric startup ecosystems. The company aims to catalyse economic growth across Bharat by providing startups with comprehensive support, including technical assistance, fundraising opportunities, mentorship, and direct funding.

"Our goal is simple yet powerful: to recognise and highlight startups exclusively across India," said Chaturvedi. "We're building the infrastructure that connects Bharat's emerging founders with the capital and expertise they need to scale."

The acquisition positions Favcy to leverage India's unique advantage, a massive, sophisticated legacy business ecosystem ready to engage with innovation-driven startups. This represents a fundamentally different approach, creating a distinctly Indian path to startup success.

When Gujarat Became the Launchpad

The inaugural chapter launched in Ahmedabad with actor and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty as the face of the movement. What started as a regional initiative quickly proved its mettle – 500 startups applied, 27 were selected, and within the first season, ₹15 crores in funding was facilitated. But this wasn't just about the money. It was about changing the narrative. At Favcy, we've always believed in building ecosystems, not just companies.
