New Delhi, May 20: Bollywood actor and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty, along with actress Chitrangada Singh, recently unveiled Falcons of Majlis in Dubai — a first-of-its-kind startup reality funding show designed to connect promising entrepreneurs with influential investors, mentors, and business leaders from across the UAE ecosystem.
Produced by NKN Media Dubai, the show moves beyond conventional pitch-based formats and focuses on building a trust-driven entrepreneurial ecosystem rooted in mentorship, strategic growth, and meaningful business alignment. Shot in Dubai and broadcast across India Today and Aaj Tak International feeds, Falcons of Majlis blends innovation, entertainment, and investment-led storytelling on a global scale.

With over two decades of experience in television, broadcasting, and digital media, Manish Dubey has previously worked on leading IPs including Horses Stable, Disney’s Jet Set Go, UTV Stars’ Live My Life, Yeh Hai Meri Kahani, and several large-format entertainment properties. His experience working closely with India’s startup ecosystem and entrepreneur-led formats brings authenticity and credibility to the vision of Falcons of Majlis.
Speaking about the vision behind the show, Majid Khan, Group CEO of NKN Media, said: “Manish brings the authentic experience of building and driving reality funding shows that work closely with a country’s startup ecosystem. Having worked on formats like Horses Stable in India, he understands the importance of creating a platform that genuinely benefits founders, mentors, and investors rather than depending on theatrics or manufactured drama.
Our vision with Falcons of Majlis has always been to build a meaningful entrepreneurial platform rooted in trust, mentorship, and real business opportunities — and Manish has been instrumental in shaping that vision into reality.”
Speaking about the journey, Manish Dubey, The Showrunner – Falcons of Majlis added: “I am grateful to Majid Khan and the entire NKN Media team for trusting me with this vision. From day one, the idea was clear — to create a world-class entrepreneurial format from Dubai that speaks to founders authentically and creates genuine value for the ecosystem.Getting Mr. Suniel Shetty on board as Mentor & Majlis Authority was extremely special for me, considering we have worked together closely for almost seven years. Everything is shaping up beautifully and exactly the way we envisioned it.”
Speaking about the philosophy behind the show, Suniel Shetty, who joins the series as the “Mentor & Majlis Authority,” said: “Presentations never impress me, people do. Businesses should focus on solving real-world problems rather than simply chasing profits.”
Hosting the series is actress Chitrangada Singh, who highlighted the emotional and human side of entrepreneurship, stating that passion, resilience, and founder journeys are what truly drive innovation.
