According to BARC data, IDEABAAZ reached 30.9 million viewers (All India 2+) across its first two airings on October 25 and 26. The show was aired on 9 key Zee Network channels — Zee TV (SD & HD), Zee Bangla, Zee Marathi, Zee Kannada, Zee Tamil, Zee Telugu, Zee Sarthak, Zee Punjabi and Zee Keralam — making it one of the widest multilingual rollouts for a new reality format.
On Zee TV in HSM Urban 15+, the show achieved a cumulative reach of 5.7 million in the 1st week, with an average TVR of 0.19 and average time spent (ATS) of 10 minutes per viewer. For a new property with no legacy, these are very encouraging figures.
In comparison, Shark Tank India Season 1 — which aired on Sony Entertainment Television in 2021 — recorded an average TVR of 0.51 and an estimated reach of around 20 million viewers during its debut week. This means IDEABAAZ has surpassed Shark Tank’s launch reach by more than 50 percent, powered by its expansive network presence and multilingual storytelling.
