R Madhavan is stepping into the world of startups as the host of ‘The Gamechangers’, a new business reality show bringing entrepreneurs and investors together in Dubai, writes NDTV.
Produced for audiences in the Middle East, the show will give founders a platform to pitch their ideas to investors from Dubai, London, Russia and the United States.
Around 70 entrepreneurs will be selected to present their ventures, compete for financial backing and connect with business leaders and mentors.
Madhavan said the UAE’s growing reputation as an innovation hub makes it an ideal setting for the show, which aims to support ambitious founders and encourage bigger ideas.
Filmmaker-producer Vipul D Shah is also attached to the project. The makers said the strong early response reflects growing interest among regional entrepreneurs.
The show is expected to premiere in late 2026, with plans to expand the format internationally.
Madhavan previously hosted ‘Tol Mol Ke Bol’, ‘Deal or No Deal’ and ‘Big Money’.
