Inspiration 💡

Shark Tank India has become a symbol of India's growing startup culture. I wanted to analyze the funding patterns, investor participation, and industry trends to uncover hidden insights that are not always obvious from the show.

What it does 📊

This project is an interactive Tableau dashboard that provides:

  • Funding distribution by industry, city, and investment type
  • Top investors and their contributions
  • Insights on average deal size, total startups funded, and funding trends
  • Geographical mapping of where the money flows across India

How I built it ⚙️

  • Cleaned and prepared the dataset in Excel/CSV
  • Built visualizations and KPIs in Tableau (bar charts, treemap, pie chart, map plots, and more)
  • Combined insights into a single interactive dashboard

Challenges I ran into 🚧

  • Cleaning messy funding data with duplicates and missing values
  • Designing charts that are not just visually appealing but also meaningful
  • Choosing the right KPI cards and layout for clarity

Accomplishments that I'm proud of 🏆

  • Successfully built a professional dashboard with multiple views
  • Discovered interesting insights, such as top-funded cities, most active investors, and funding dominance by private equity
  • Made the dashboard easy to understand for both technical and non-technical audiences

What I learned 📚

  • Practical hands-on experience with data cleaning and Tableau dashboard design
  • How to create KPIs, treemaps, pie charts, and geospatial maps effectively
  • Storytelling with data — transforming raw numbers into insights

What's next 🚀

  • Adding time-series analysis for year-over-year funding growth
  • Automating data refreshes through APIs
  • Expanding the dashboard to include seasonal comparisons across Shark Tank India seasons
