NDTV Prime has launched ‘The Real Deal’, a television show and 360 degree media property on impact investing and social entrepreneurship. The show will premiere on March 24, 2016 and will be aired every Friday at 9 pm, March 25 onwards.

From waste managers, skills development, financial and meal visionaries to farmers and healthcare managers, the contestants will fight it out in a set of innovative challenges that will test skills required to be a social entrepreneur. These include empathy, resilience, resourcefulness, ethics, partnering, leadership, selling, bartering, and networking.

The Real Deal will find, feature and fund the country’s best social entrepreneurs by bringing them face to face with potential impact investors in a 10-episode reality game format, bringing together two of the hottest and biggest issues, social change and entrepreneurship.

Judging these social entrepreneurs are Amar Singh, CEO Founder Clove Dental; Audrey Selian, Director, Artha Initiative; Jayesh Parekh, Managing Partner at Jungle Ventures; Radha Kapoor, Founder and Director of the Indian School of Design and Innovation; and Kartik Desai, Principal, Asha Impact. The jury will be the impact investors on the show.
