R Madhavan will host entrepreneurs pitching ventures to global investors.
Actor R Madhavan is set to host an upcoming business reality show titled Game Changers, which will feature entrepreneurs pitching their ventures to a panel of global investors. Produced in Dubai for the Middle East market, the show is being developed as a premium entertainment property with plans to expand across international markets.
Game Changers was announced by Optimystix Entertainment India Limited on Monday, with production expected to begin shortly. The format will bring startup founders from different parts of the world before an international investor panel, with investors represented from Dubai, London, Russia and the United States.
The show aims to combine entrepreneurship, innovation and investment with the storytelling elements of reality television. Founders will present their businesses and ideas to investors, giving viewers an insight into the decisions and challenges involved in building, funding and scaling companies in a competitive global market.

Optimystix founder and chairman Vipul D Shah described the project as a future-focused global entertainment franchise rather than a conventional pitch-based programme. He said the show was being developed as an owned intellectual property with the potential to travel across markets, attract major brand partnerships and generate multiple revenue opportunities.
Co-founder and CEO Rajesh Bahl said the format would go beyond the traditional business pitch show by focusing on the ambition, resilience, strategy and personal conviction of entrepreneurs. The programme is expected to give audiences a closer look at the process of developing businesses and the decisions involved in securing investment and expanding ventures.
For Madhavan, Game Changers marks another return to hosting after several earlier television assignments. He hosted the Hindi game show Tol Mol Ke Bol in 1997 and later presented the Indian adaptation of Deal or No Deal, which premiered in 2005. He also hosted Big Money on Imagine TV in 2010. Further details about Game Changers, including its release date, are yet to be announced.
