11-Year-Old Entrepreneur Athvik Amazes Suniel Shetty with ₹2 Crore Business Pitch

Suniel Shetty’s show Bharat Ke Super Founders has been showcasing innovative business ideas, but the latest episode left everyone astonished. Eleven-year-old Athvik Amit Kumar stunned the panel when he pitched his business idea and asked for ₹2 crore in investment.

Athvik introduced his company, Jojo Connect, which creates eco-friendly NFC business cards. His vision is to build a sustainable alternative to traditional business cards while offering advanced features through a subscription-based model. The young prodigy’s presentation impressed not only Shetty but also the other judges, earning him praise from viewers and netizens alike.

The panel of judges, known as the “tycoons,” included Dr. A. Velumani, Nitish Mittersen, Dr. Aarti Gupta, Aditya Singh, and Ankur Mittal. Athvik shared that he already has 500 active customers and handed out his cards, explaining that his portal, Jojo, aims to become a “universe of information.”

When asked how he balances school and entrepreneurship, Athvik explained, “I learned early the importance of time management—creating a schedule and following it. I am a topper at school and dedicate 60 minutes to studying before starting work. Later, I play and live like a normal child.”

Regarding his product pricing, Athvik emphasized that the focus is not solely on selling cards. The subscription model ranges from ₹99 to ₹599, offering features like active leads management powered by AI, guiding users on when and how to contact potential clients—going beyond the typical CRM offerings.

Athvik requested ₹2 crore for 8% equity, but some judges felt the product was not yet in its final phase. Nevertheless, they offered mentorship and guidance. Judges Aarti Gupta and Ankur Mittal made brand-specific offers, and Nitish Mittersen invested ₹11 lakh and invited Athvik to visit his company to expand networks and learn. Suniel Shetty, impressed by Athvik’s confidence, described him as a “small package with a big punch.”

Since the episode aired, clips of Athvik’s pitch have gone viral, earning him widespread admiration on social media, proving that talent knows no age.
