Star Plus & JioHotstar confirms launch date of ‘India Ke Top 1%’ hosted by Anil Kapoor
Star Plus and JioHotstar have confirmed Saturday 5th September as the launch date for their much‑awaited game show ‘India Ke Top 1%’.
Adapted from the British format ‘The 1% Club’, the series will be hosted by Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor. The programme centres on testing participants’ cognitive abilities, with gameplay built around logic, reasoning, observation and decision‑making under pressure.
In taking on hosting duties, Kapoor said, “I have always believed that India is a nation driven by raw instinct, unmatched observation, and incredible street‑smartness. Walk down any street in our country, and you will find people who can outsmart anyone under the sun, not because they memorised an encyclopedia, but because their brainpower is sharpened by life experiences. In India, we take immense pride in being ‘jugadu’ — it’s our ultimate superpower that makes Indians everywhere the top 1% of their fields. That’s why when I saw the format of ‘India Ke Top 1%’, it instantly clicked with me. This isn’t a show that asks you which year so‑and‑so treaty was signed; it gauges how efficiently your mind can function under pressure using pure logic and common sense. It completely levels the playing field!”

The launch marks a rare breakaway from Star Plus’ seven‑day fiction schedule, with ‘India Ke Top 1%’ set to air every weekend on the channel and stream on JioHotstar.
