Shark Anupam Mittal on India's Got Latent row: 'Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia are victims, real culprits are...'

Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal has reacted to the controversy triggered by comments made during comedian Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent. In a post on LinkedIn, the Shark Tank India judge said that besides Ranveer Allahbadia and Apoorva Mukhija, YouTube should be summoned to the high court, too.
“I personally think Ranveer, Apoorva, Samay et all are actually victims caught in an endless cycle of provocation for their relevance & survival,” Mittal said. Calling big tech firms the “real culprit”, he said YouTube is the “worst of all offenders”.
“The real culprits are ‘Big-tech’ who take cover under digital intermediary laws that allow them to flout all responsbility & accountability. Imagine a newspaper or a tv channel publishing the type of content that these platforms carry with total impunity,” Mittal said. Further, clarifying his stance on the issue, he said that what happened on the show was “messy, crass, and undeniably wrong”.
